Topic: [XRP] Ripple Speculation - page 107. (Read 637272 times)

These 2 posts made may day. I laughed with tears. Guys, ever heard of market cap? If not, I will tell you - multiply 100 000 000 with 1000 and you will obtain $100 trillion marked cap. How do you think? Is this realistic? LOL. Bitcoin may reach 10 trillion cap in the end, after eventual ETF and 1 or 2 halvings. XRP never was nor will be with market cap greater than Bitcoin. Of course, the owners are multi billionaires, so they can pump xrp with some announcement that some bank will use it. But who can be sure of this? What if the owners die or cash out and abandon XRP? Then the crash will be big. That is the problem with the altcoins in general. For that reason ask any early Bitcoin adopter how much XRP they own. There are only 2 answers I got - 0% and 1% of their crypto holdings. I am an open minded Bitcoin holder and miner, so I also bought with 1% of my BTC at the price of 0.28.

Little value in XRP ($0.01), and cryptoassets which are misleadingly marketed, not needed within their own network, and have centralized ownership/validation.

The analysts predict that XRP, which once traded as high as $3.84 and is now valued at $0.33, will crash another 97 percent over the next five years, ultimately declining to penny parity.

 

Do you see how Bitcoin affects the altcoins? At the moment I do not know where Ripple will go next. But I think it must go below 4800 satosh.

in my opinion, something very much influences the crypto-currency market. Prices seem to start rising, but something hinders them and they are released again to the previous level.

I think this thing wont matter kiddo

Builds a whole fucking eco system around it....pleb thinks they destroy the IOV with scammy dumping LMAO

It's so good speculative coin that some people are talking about XRP being number 1 of the cryptocurrencies and that prices will be $500! Definitely if this happens, the world will be inside out and basically will kill the BTC! There are future XRP distribution programs for people and of course, people like inflation coins and still for free. It's a funny situation.

In my opinion based on my experience  here in cryptocurrency industry , ripple will be the next ethereum  in the near futire because it has potential like ethereum  have been before so I think in the next couple of years its price will reach near $1000.

I would like to hear people's opinion on XRP/Ripple.  News, Trends, Concepts, Technical Issues... anything pro or con that might be indicative of it's survival or growth opportunities in actual real world use cases.   Or things that indicate it's failure.

Here is my two cents to start it off, starting with a Disclaimer.
Disclaimer: I have weighted portfolio of Bitcoin (5 - 10%), Ethereum (70 - 80%), XRP/Ripple (10 - 25%). I'm a HODLer, not a Day Trader,a nd reportionments are done rarely based on trends.  My purpose of this post is to try and determine whether a repportionment of Ripple is appropriate.  And I am currently of an equal mind.  33% to lower stake.  33% says stay hte course.  33% says increase shares.  So real certainty here I tell ya!  LOL    Hoping someone will say something here to un-jam my mental logs.

My current facts as "I" see them....

CURRENT PRICE:  Ripple is doing absolutely nothing.  No real motion in any direction except sideways.  Only recent facto that may be contributor is the court case that allowed prior founder (McCaleb) to unload his billions of XRP at a current rate of "0.5% of average daily volume for each day of the week, including weekends and holidays".  So hardly anything of much substance, however, the fact that the price hasn't gone down means that there are at least enough buyers to keep the price even.

NEWS: I keep a very steady eye on Ripple, constantly trolling news, webs, boards for info.  Again - nothing.  Almost a total black hole of current news.  The only recent "news" are name dropping tidbits about SBI Holdings in Asia wanting to use Ripple.  Microsoft Azure being open to Ripple blockchains.  R3CEV hinting at Hyperledger open to Ripple use cases.  Royal Bank of Canada (RBC) running a Ripple Blockchain Trial.  Press Releases about 42% savings to banks using Ripple.   And vague references to Interledger, which is sort of analogous to Hyperledger or Lightening network in a way..... talk, no real world scenarios yet though.  And all of this very hypy-vague.   Just little tidbit trickles of "News", "non-News" actually, that basically says, "Hey, we're alive."

GENERAL THOUGHTS:  I think Ripple/XRP IS still alive, and due to the nature of its business model, is in "secret development" mode.  I mean, you won't see news, until you see news, but whe that news does come - it may be a hard break.  My opinion is that will most likely be up (obviously - I DO own it), but I guess it could be down, or it might even be just a really really slow up if the news is not dramatic enough that other coins (Bitcoin/Ethereum etc) aren't also releasing big news, and thereby suck up all the investment money that might go into Ripple/XRP - thereby blunting the reaction.  However, it could go the other way,a nd we could get good news out of Ripple / bad out of Ethereum/Bitcoin, and the pressure could be exacerbated up.   Also- the whole "premined" aspect doesn't bother me that much.  With all my crypto investments I am looking primarily at actual eventual use case scenarios to determine value.  The 2nd tier money coins (Lite, Dash, Monero etc) are of no interest, and even the Utility coins (Emercoin, Maidsafe, etc) seem a bit too spiky/dodgy and subject to market manipulation/risk to me.

Ripple is obviously a top tier player, but a little lacking in discussion at present.  Thought I'd fire up a topic.

Ripple is a good speculative coin. Today ripple showed very good growth and I had a hope that this project will give me a good chance to earn.

Good growth today. The news has done its job, now is the time to open short positions. RSI very overheated, waiting for a drop below 4800. What do you think?

It amazes how people react to "news" about project updates that are promised and known loooooong loooong ago.

That means either of two things,
1) People didn't believe that Ripple would deliver their promises
2) People needed a bit of reminder that XRP is one of the best possible investments if you take into account the risk/reward ratio
