Topic: [XRP] Ripple Speculation - page 205. (Read 637275 times)

FUCK THIS PIECE OF SHIT COIN AND EVERYONE THAT SUPPORT THIS CENTRALIZED PIECE OF SHIT. BUNCH OF ECORP MUTHAFUCKAS.

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. 

Peace,

How do you exaggerate reports of someone's death, by the way? You either died or you didn't haha. But anyway, on point of Ripple, I'd be very careful about tweets like that, very cryptic and prone to a very wide range of definitions. Top five money transfer worldwide means what? Processors? Remittances? Or just intermediaries? And what does implementing Ripple token in their payment flow system mean really? Are they using Ripple or are they not? Why would someone use Ripple in addition to what they use instead of just switching over to Ripple only?

Coinbase have just said they have no plan of listing Ripple. They could be lying, offcourse..

Just watch Ripple take over Coinbase with it's huge marketcap and shut everyone up.

Wahahahahaha

The reports of my death have been greatly exagerated.

Three of the top five money transfer companies worldwide will be implementing Ripple’s XRP token in their payment flow systems this year, the company said in a tweet..

there is no need in ripple on coinbase. they should scale up at least to be able to handle current traffic (please coinbase!!!). and its very unlikely for ripple to be on coinbase with policies like minimum activation payment or centralization.

Hey, guys! Please sign this petition! Get Ripple on CoinBase!

Ripple is the Future!

The truth is that you are uneducated dumhass, that it even can not read front page.

XRP has purpose, and it much more useful than BTC or LTC read small fee higher transaction rate

Global cryptocoins paradigm will change if this happens  

So sorry from ruining your wet dream of Ripply dying. Because it will be coin #1 this year even if you dont like it.

This news will negatively affect the growth of the XRP price 

Basically, @coinbase released an announcement to announce that there is not yet an announcement. Coinbase logic.

Ripple fall down after coinbase rejects rumors of adding new assets..
Yesterday coinbase made it clear that it had no immediate plans to start trading Ripple.
