Alright i get Ripple is a good currency to invest and with its current value and from the speculation i have read here it can make anyone a millionaire. But my question to you is with the current bearish trend it follows, is there any thing in the coming months that can trigger a hype? With the current price i am happy if it could reach 1.50 USD. Your thoughts please.
The good thing with projects like XRP, ARK, BitShares and a few others is that they don't need hype. As long as there is an actual product with use cases and customers, the hype is unnecessary. It'll help boost the prices higher and faster, but we don't need to count on hype in order to make a profit by screwing people who will buy high.
it is terrible to see the ripple price, down by 90% from last year,
maybe this time the ripple will be stable now
Optimistic news:
Ripple XRP – As Market Stabilizes, SWELL 2018 https://swell.ripple.com/agenda/ Could Be a Huge Boost for XRPSWELL 2O18 is the most anticipated event by the Ripple XRP community, due to the strategic nature of all the participants, and under current market conditions, it could be the pump that XRP needs as it starts the last quarter of 2018. Part of the reason why SWELL is highly anticipated is because ripple could use the event to announce some of the banks that are going live with XRapid. So far beta testing of XRapid has been quite successful.
SWELL 2O18 is also heavily anticipated because it could give policy clarity on how different countries intend to deal with XRapid, an emerging technology that is about to take over banking. For instance, the speech by Mohsen Alzahrani, the head of innovation at the Saudi Arabian Monetary Authority, will give an hint at how ripple will reshape banking in the Arab world, where ripple has made serious in-roads in the recent past. Similarly, the speech by Marcello Yared will be closely watched because it will offer hints on how central banks in Latin America will respond as ripple slowly reshapes how banking is done not just in South America, but in the world at large.
Basically, SWELL 2018 carries more weight than SWELL 2017, not just in terms of short-term price movements, but also the future of XRP in banking. In essence, XRP offers a low risk crypto investment, not just for the next 2 weeks, but for coming years as well. If big strategic announcements are made during this event, and the market doesn’t dump in between now and D-Day, then XRP stands a good chance to break above $0.50 shortly after. All indicators at this point show that XRP (XRP) and the market in general has bottomed-out. XRP has held steadily above $0.26 for some time now, and is supported by bitcoin (BTC)’s price that also seems to have bottomed out at $6000 – $6200, thereby easing pressure on the rest of the market.
One thing is certain at this point. If the banking sector fully embraces XRapid, then XRP (XRP) could very easily break off from the rest of the market. That’s because banks would be pretty much the biggest participants in its trading volumes. The huge volumes they would bring would see XRP (XRP) rise above the pump and dump cycles that are characteristic of the crypto market today. It’s an interesting future ahead for the 3rd largest crypto by market cap. Just like it pulled a surprise rise in Q4 of 2017, quarter 4 of 2018 could also pull a surprise Ripple XRP price increase.
