Im going to poke it with a stick wait a sec...

Done,
its alive but i dont know what happens next.

Maybe Mrpumperitis can step in lol

Is xrp dead?

China is as good as cash less this days.  Just about every payment is with WeChat to a lesser extend Alipay mobile phone apps.
It is instant and 100% free, in fact you get paid using it (occasionally).
It goes as far as Apple complaining about its phone being used exclusively for one app. It has spread outside of china too, dudy free shops and international airports.....

Last year half of Kenias GPD was sent using M-pesa, Vodafone mobile data, talk time payment system which has real value. It is now expanded to 10 countries including India. Talk time- mobile data has real value unlike XRP some fictional numbers put up by a San Francisco Company and backed by nothing else as lies and deceit.
XRP is certainly not an investment or a store of value, pure high risk gambling.

Ripple is opening up about its plans to enter one of the world's largest markets.

In new statements to CoinDesk, the San Francisco blockchain startup aimed to address rumors that first appeared last Thursday on XRP Chat, a forum dedicated to gossip and commentary on both the company and its technology.

In short – yes, the blockchain company is planning to set up operations in China, but no, it's not doing so with the help of one of the region's e-commerce giants.

Emi Yoshikawa, Ripple's director of joint venture partnership, told CoinDesk:

    "China is a key market for a global payments network, which is why we are looking to build a presence there. Total cross-border [business-to-business] payment value involving China is $5 trillion annually, and the large Chinese e-commerce market currently lacks a highly efficient and low-cost solution."

Most recently, Ripple added 10 new financial institutions to its blockchain network, including MUFG in Japan, BBVA in Spain and SEB in Sweden, but membership by Chinese firms has so far been absent.

And it appears it will have to keep working on adding a big name from China to that impressive list of collaborators. Ripple also put to rest speculation that Alibaba was already running a validator node on the Ripple network.

Images in the post showed a node that appeared to be operating in Hangzhou, China, with an address linking it to Alibaba Advertising Co., Ltd.

This led some to believe the Chinese mammoth would be help Ripple maneuver its way into the country, though Ripple such an effort is not in the works.

"Alibaba (the company) is not running a validator," Yoshikawa said.

In other news....Bitcoin keeps making new ATH's daily while XRP continues its 3 monthly downward spiral. But Bitcoin is crap and XRP is so good lol.

LIN_CHAO is at least smart. Sell then buy more cheaper, if guys had done that on here many a time they would have a massive stock pile to brag about instead of bragging about holding while the price keeps going down...

"There's some noise that Alibaba/Alipay just started to run a validator on the #XRP ledger..."

"For those who don't know, Alibaba owns AliPay, which has most of China's digital payments and has been expanding recently."

I've lost the same as you. I pray to just get my bitcoin back one day.

Hi! What justification for such a decision? Maybe soon it go to 10 cents?

I am buying more XRP at these prices...   sooooooo cheap!

I've bought at 0.000039, and it is now rising
If it drops to 29, I will buy again

The XRP I bought has lost 60% of its value since I bought them. Everyday I think this is the bottom and the landslide continues....I am getting out at the first breakeven if that happens.
