Were you there when 145,000 bitcoins worth of XRP were bought in a single day?
If that happens again XRP will be worth about 14 dollars regardless what numbers you throw around. Talking about 145,000 bitcoins in A SINGLE DAY. Somebody is holding a crap tonne of XRP.
Market cap is always growing, chances are XRP grows with that market cap too without any new news at all.
There are many partnerships confirmed but can't say who because of Non Disclosure Agreements.
Also about banks creating their own blockchains. This has also already been discussed how Ripple will connect those banks blockchains to each other. Having a blockchain in their own bank is great but whose gonna connect to it? Ripple will.
Again this has all been repeated about a thousand times in this thread.
This is true. Ripple is one of few coins, besides BTC, that could receive a large amount of investment in just one day without being a pump and dump. I believe that major investment companies could buy OTC, but sometimes they will have to use exchanges and this could double the price.
