Ripple is the most talked about crypto by the random people I talk to who know almost nothing about our world. I understand it is universally reviled by true blockchain believers, but what most people want is the security of knowing there is some central authority that can be held accountable. Obviously trusting the ripple dev team is silly, but most people just trust in authority. That means ripple has every possibility of growing for a long time.
Great insight and thoughts on Ripple. I am a believer in them, so will be holding for the long term.

Every once in a while, it's good for crypto investors to take stock of their investments and where they're at in terms of liquidity and adoption. Today is that day, and I'm taking a look at the same numbers that we discussed just three months ago.
Headlines: Liquidity is massive. The number of wallets doubled. To find out more, you'll have to read for yourself!
Hope you enjoy the read & please let me know what you think; I'll make an effort to reply to all first-level comments.
Thank you,

I personally think XLM Decentralized is far far better than ripple centralized
can anyone back my words here

"I'm backing you." That's it. But that's just what I can support to you.
My support is on ripple still
This has been in the debate for so long but the price can only tell who is winning here. XRP had been up for years, if they are up to scam they should have done it a long time ago and then disappear into the wild. 
Ripple price fell below $2 over the weekend with the cryptocurrency losing $7billion from its market capitalisation.
The market cap of Ripple fell from $79B on Saturday to about $72B at midnight on Sunday night, according to CMC.
Price of XRP suffered similar hits, dropping from a weekend high of $2.05 to open today at just $1.86.
The unexpected fall comes after the announcement of a partnership between Ripple and MoneyGram on Thursday evening saw prices rise to $2.22.
Most of the top cryptocurrencies were trading at a loss on Monday morning, with the notable exception of ETH, which has been on a steady upward trend since the start of the year...

What about the dev of xlm that can dump billions on the market? Or IBM wich have bought the remaining xlm at a discount for 0.005$?can anyone back my words here
How is it more decentralized when they hold 70% of coins and gave away free money last year ? Also jed can create more xlm if needed
Interesting to see on low volume Ripple did not crash... so..
either we will see a slow bleed down on minimal volume or we will spike up or down on large volume.. bit like spinning the roulette wheel in the short term

Since ripple controls all the gateways, we might as well join on investing some amount with ripple. If we will be using ripple against bitcoin, ripple will have a value of a thousand dollars each. Can you imagine if 5% of the whole world do use ripple, how huge is the demand then.
no one stopping anyone from investing in ripple so just do,anyway its a matter of trust and belief that making others to trust this coin,and personally im a ripple fan and im still buying when the price is right on my target.but im giving ripple this year to make a perfect pump and stay on a good value than what he having now.because if not i might choose another coins to replace in my portfolio at the end year. The
Very little hopes on Ripple.

There's too much shadiness with founder's stake/premine, lawsuits. On top of that, Ripple's ability to censor any payments as well rollback payments is just a big no for me. I already have a banker alt coin. Its called USD issued by the Fed.
Yeah ehm no. Thats a lie. "Censor payments" lol debunked already. Everything u have listed is debunked lil boi
Ripple controls "most" of the gateways. Anything that goes through their gateways can and will be censored. They can use KYC/AML or any excuse. Its no different than a Shitibank checking account. Don't be a Fanboy!
Same thing will happen to all exchanges actually, Bittrex already required us to submit documents and soon these exchanges will control us and soon they will be controlled by governments too. There is no escape here, If you have submitted papers already, might as well join the XRP party.
You can't even put "banks" and "decentralization" in the same sentence. You should be a moron to do that.
Well you just did. Congrats to that.
It ain't that hard is it? There's too much shadiness with founder's stake/premine, lawsuits. On top of that, Ripple's ability to censor any payments as well rollback payments is just a big no for me. I already have a banker alt coin. Its called USD issued by the Fed.
do you like ethereum? because the devs premined an additional 17% of the 72m supply at launch. USD is not an altcoin, it's the global reserve currency...
Unless you have a lot of money you probably want to sell much of your stack every time Ripple pumps. The FOMO is that you should always be saving a lot of it because this time it is going up for good. But like Verge every time it goes back down again, and you can buy again to ride 30 to 50% to go up again in the future. But it could be that the next time it goes up it goes up farther and stays higher than the other times.
So, are you saying that XRP is like BTC, just doing it like 10 times less frequently than BTC?

yes I think too, it's too late to buy riple now because the price has gone up, this is hot news for those who hold back ripple since first because they will get many benefits There's too much shadiness with founder's stake/premine, lawsuits.

Ripple is still the future of centralized currenccies, it will be accepted in future by all..
