Topic: XLM or XRP? (Read 133 times)

The driving force for the XRP is its community as they are loyal to the project both in good and bad times. With the current US administration, XRP community and holders would benefit in terms of price and not in terms of technology.


But here XRP isn't truly as decentralized as Bitcoin. While Red Hat may be one of the best package of Linux, you cannot say that XRP is the best among the altcoins in term of technology-wise. The Bankers and the centralized financial institutions may enforce XRP adoption but there is a difference between adopting by force and adopting naturally like BTC.

1. If you are long term, then go.
2. I've asked you about it so if it's in terms of pricing, no one knows but yeah maybe.
3. I think so, it's already reached its former ATH at $3, although some cents are there but look it's now $3.

Business talks about a thing they call brand loyalty, which likely they hope will attain a level that could be akin to community, but bottom line business is about the bottom line, community notwithstanding.

So for long long long term I am inclined to believe (whether actually true or not) that community is more likely to endure.

But trying to build community on business I suspect bottom line is going to win over community which I suspect could be a large part of my leaning toward free open source and grass roots over commercial endeavours.

Building business on community though seems to work, I look at things like Red Hat (Linux) for that, the community (Linux) might outlast Red Hat but...

EDIT: Look also at XLM and XRP to see it too maybe, as XLM is itself the community moving on when XRP turned out to be business not community. Also see HIVE, same deal, community moving on from STEEM...

EDIT2: MySpace too, it headed commercial, where did its community go? Unfortunately maybe felt forced to other commercial platforms because grass roots social media not up to the volume or something?

I never told that I am not bullish on the XRP price. In fact if you ask me about the target for the exactly in this folder I think it may reach to 8 to 10 dollars or even more.

As already mentioned the XRP community is very strong plus they have the market players, they have big investors and bankers and all these things make them a good investment opportunity.

It will give good returns in this bull market but moving forward for the next 5 to 10 years I am not sure if they can survive.

You might not like them but you can’t deny the fact they have done fantastic last few months and we still have many months of this bull run to go.

500% increase from the lows a few months ago for both, it could be 1000% in a few months.

To be honest, i don't like both coins. XRP has the large banking support and therefore they always have a large userbase. In the long run, they may surge in price too as all the cases on Ripple will be turned down as the US new administration settles in. Ripple CEO meeting with the president makes the importance of this coin even more but as i said this is not a true decentralized coin and i don't agree with the logic behind this coins.

XRP may be better than XLM and give better returns if you are holding it. Also its worth mentioning that usually when XRP pumps or dumps, XLM does the same after that. Keep this in mind and get some profits by trading XLM.

Both aim to provide low-cost transactions, but they target different markets.

XLM focuses on individuals and underserved communities, while XRP is geared towards financial institutions. This means both could thrive in the future. If you believe their goals are achievable, there’s no need to choose, just invest in both since they each have potential for long-term growth.

Both will do great.

I got in XRP a year ago as I fancied going against the crowd and had a feeling it would do well this bull run once the lawsuit with the SEC was over and luckily that's come true.

I do regret not getting into XLM though, i remember many advising those who were in XRP to buy XLM also but i didn't take notice and just focused on XRP.

If i didnt have any right now, I would go for XLM as it will follow XRP but should pump faster due to the lower market cap etc.

XRP is a safe bet now , but how much higher can it really go this bull run im not sure. I am hoping for $7-10, which is good for those who got in early but not so good buying now.

Don't rely on people's suggestion and you should do your own research regarding on what's best choice you want to select. Since asking this question give you unsure result especially that there might be some biases on choice so let your research speak up and choose according to what you know better base on the research done.

But if you still want to ask some suggestion then I will just say that better to buy and hodl bitcoin directly rather than spending some bucks on those coins which growth is really unpredictable.

Still you are the one could decide on what you want to do with your money.

XRP is primarily intended to be a banking protocol, which means that its price will not rise wildly, so don't expect to see its price at $100 or $1000 in the long run, just like Bitcoin and Ethereum, and even current prices are considered high compared to their goals.

XLM is good in terms of TPS and fees, but there is fierce competition in this area, and don't expect these tokens to rise when Bitcoin transaction fees are low.

The Galactic Milieu likes purportedly dead, the more it drops in price the more for the game ahahaha!

So yes I should make it clear I am biassed by the fact that I actually have a use-case for Stellar; once the Milieu tokens there "take off" it will need more and more and more and more, even if it keeps going up itself, XLM just to build decent buy-sides there for everything let alone to build truly strong robust buy-sides.

If the Milieu ends up having to prop up and "ratchet" up XLM like it has to for so many supposedly-dead coins it uses, so be it.

The deader the coin, the easier to grab all its tokens into the game...

Not the coins I'd like to have in my portfolio but if I had to, it would be XRP. The reason is simple, XLM is nearly dead and have almost zero progress all these years while XRP's developers are still active, they have had many setbacks but the price too is not as increased as other alts. There had been a huge accumulation going on in XRP for quite a time now and with their case against SEC going on positive direction, a price boost for XRP is imminent. Though in bull run other good alts might outperform XRP but when choosing between the two, XRP would be a better option.

1 - I'd buy the dips, by placing a descending column of buy offers in bitcoin in a XLM/BTC market; placing the proceeds back for sale as an ascending sell column. That way you automagically buy dips and sell recoveries yet still can spread the sell side so far up you dont expect it to get bought, and far again beyond that in case your expectation was wrong. I am finding it a good pair myself, with an average of about two trades per day, by spacing the offers 10 satoshis of price apart and the spread 40 satoshis. This way you buy both XLM and BTC, each on their dips relative to the other, so even if both go down in fiat terms you continue acquiring both regardless.

2- In size price etc I figure yes but not by catching up, just following it up; but in becoming all big-brother-ish and fossil banking system aligned I hope not.

3- Back in the winter (northern hemisphere) of 2017-2018 or sometime around there it peaked I think at almost $5 CAD which would have been likely approaching $4 USD so if XLM and XRP are going to reach their all time highs again XRP would have to surpass $3. It remains to be seen though unfortunately whether alt-seasons going forward will be seeing many all time highs. Long term though I figure both XLM and XRP will have them just cannot be sure which year, things might be a little different this time around some seem to suspect.

EDIT: I noticed yesterday XRP at $2.50 USD so over $3 seems extremely likely come to think of it as that was before my XLM/BTC pair offers had two sell offers eaten by the price in bitcoins rising; if XLM just rose maybe XRP already did too?

EDIT2: Aha another sell offer sold, looks like still rising. I don't watch XRP much though so dunno about them?

Hi,
1- Is now a good time to buy XLM?

2- Is it possible for XLM to become like XRP?

3- Do you think XRP will reach above $3? I heard that Trump met with the founder of Ripple.

Thank you.

Right and I think what he is thinking about the potential is for XLM to grow the same and reach that 10 times marketcap just as XRP.

IMO, he's thinking of the same growth and market cap. Utility wise, I've used both of them and they offer cheap transaction fees.

Potential for what, that is the key.

Does XRP still not even offer free open-source non-custodial wallets to run for yourself at home?

Even if it does, do the APIs the non-custodial wallets connect to track IP addresses each transaction requested comes from?

(In either case, that last, as of course XLM's API servers could for all I know track you just as much as XRP's by philosophy can probably be pretty much guessed/assumed to do.)

Are you looking to support grass roots community-based projects or big brother's surveillance-and-enforcement apparati?

The two originally had much the same functionality, since then XRP stopped offering at-home wallets (I dunno if those ever came back) and XLM built automatic market-makers (AMMs; I don't know if XRP ever added that).

They might still be much the same other than XRP being a corporate ally of big brother and the dinosaur banking system?

Do not let the low marketcap deceives you. Although, XLM has been a good coin but which is good for short term investment because if the bear market begins, it might lead to more massive volatility of the coin to the downtrend. But altcoins generally can disappoint so I am not having too much confidence on XRP either. Ethereum that supposed to have been more than or closer to $10000 today has still been under $3500. Just be careful of bear market because altcoins are more volatile.

They are top coins but not comparing because XRP has 10 times more marketcap than XLM.

Both are top coins. They also have billions in supplies. XLM has 30.4B in supply, XRP has 57.4B supply. So if it's about the price that you're asking then XLM can possibly be at the price of XRP but we will never know when. So, if it's about the potential, what you are investing at depending on what you've researched. There are investors that only look at the rankings and don't really look at the macro of a coin and they're totally fine with that already knowing that these two are part of top 15.

Hello,
Can XLM become like XRP? Which has more potential?

Thank you.
