Here's an interesting "What if?" :


What if a bank or consortium of banks just decided one day to buy every single XRP token they could get their hands on?

Maybe they could end up with at least 50% of the supply between public trading and private purchases directly from Ripple. Maybe they could eventually own 90+% of all XRP ever to be in existence. Then, no matter what they paid for all those coins - Maybe 50 Billion? Maybe 100 Billion? - they would control the entire market and the price of whatever publicly traded XRP is left. Such a bank or bank consortium could only profit in such a scenario if they all also used XRP for all of their transfers and whatever new scams they dream up.

It really wouldn't matter what they paid for it. It's only money and they really do have all of it already anyway.

In this scenario a $100.00 or a $1000.00 USD XRP is entirely possible. The numbers do seem huge, I know. Probably too huge for most people to even imagine. But look at Amazon. Look at Facebook. Look at Google for JC's sake. The values of these companies is already INSANE and has forced everyone to totally reevaluate what "A lot of money" is in our post-web economy.

Banks MUST update the way they do business or they will get Bitcoined to death. They know it.



This thought makes so much sense. Now i understand why there is so much fud and trolling about ripple... those are banksters trying to convince everyone out of xrp so they can take full controll of the supply and put ANY price tag on it they want!

Mind blown

LOL you guys are on some next level $hit. Yup banks spend their time FUDing XRP. Banks could have bought into XRP when it was under 1c but it will happen anytime now ripplers don't worry lol

Banks aren't buying it guys! XRP is only needed for fees! that's it, nothing else! All you are relying on is that they will buy a heap and use it for the whole transaction, not just the fee. This is the reason they wont which is pretty clear from a risk point of view from them:

- They don't care one bit that they will get a lower fee if they completely use XRP end to end. YOU PAY THE FEE no matter what so they couldn't care less. You know that fee you currently pay for a international transaction, they aren't covering that for you and hoping they can reduce it.
- The coin (and the crypto world) is too volatile. Why would they want to hold a stash of something or trade with something that can be worth less in minutes, hours, days? FIAT is pretty stable so they will stick with it.

Unfortunately Bitcoin will be number 1, look how it survives resilience and increases in price, XRP doesn't, gets pumped and dumped. Other coins, with real world usage (apparently like you say XRP is)  recover nicely. XRP gains 1c and falls when BTC is reaching new ATH's. It has declined for MONTHS.

Stop calling realists that are stating facts about what can be shown as happening as FUDers, having pipe dreams doesn't make it true and cant be proven unlike what the 'FUDers' are saying. Its your choice to keep your investment on a coin that is going nowhere or down rather than put it on coins that are moving, we know who the smart ones are, but don't worry you might move another cent or 2 over the next few years lol

It’s easy to confuse what is with what ought to be

I think you have blind faith in xrp, you should accept the fact the price of xrp will not increase again. Many people are abandoning and selling it as quickly as possible, many traders expect the price of xrp will return to 2500-3000sts / xrp in the next few months. You should think carefully and make the right decision before it's too late

If that's true, why are you here trolling?  the reason is because you know very well that fear, uncertainty and doubt won't happen on its own!    Wink

The only crypto-currency that's truly relying on blind faith is Bitcoin.  Don't get me wrong - I was always fascinated by Bitcoin back in 2013 when I first started trading, but let me put it this way:  Henry Ford didn't stop with the "Model T", and say "There's no way we can improve on the Model T!"  

That's absurd.  I respect objective facts and science, and XRP is so much better than Bitcoin that it really shouldn't even be compared.  Instead, XRP should compare itself to serious payment networks like VISA and Paypal.

XRP:  1,000 transactions per second

Ethereum: 15 transactions per second
Bitcoin: 6 transactions per second

XRP: Payments settle in 4 seconds
Ethereum: Payments settle in 2+ minutes
Bitcoin: Payments settle in 1+ hours (if you've paid a high transaction fee)

I don't care much about the small details of this coin's path along the charts. I know this XRP thing is good for a long term investment. I am holding on to this promising coin that it will reach its ATH in the coming ber months.

Greetings!  I posted a blog entry that covers the basics of XRP and Ripple - it will bore most XRP fans, but it's purpose is to share with others that may not know or understand XRP or Ripple. 

Let me know what you think, and feel free to share with others:

I bought in with bitcoin at .00012 now lost over half my investment. This was is by far the worst investment I've ever had in my life.
play the game of long hold and never to sell when you still at loss try to break even fluctuation will happen and be very vigilant to watch
out for the price to increase as of now btc is really rising so expect more downfall just close your trade and relax for a while.

I dont think xrp really bottomed yet but you know

It broke all the support lines drawn on the trading view, now there is no bottom it can literally drop to 10 in a week and no one will be surprised because there is no support for this coin right now.
Charts shows it's not worth investing anytime soon.

tradingview.com type xrp and enjoy your stay.

The thing I see about XRP is that its value seems to always increase during bitcoin deceleration and its slow recovery. XRP will be an opportunity for investors

Darn it I missed the dip of Ripple and now it's too late to buy since it's now going up  Cry

Not yet, Ripple is still very low and will grow very high, maybe not so soon but it will definitely be double to what its current value is. Its a safe long term investment I feel.
Will be depend from your timing if you able to enter in its dip maybe x2 will be possible and you will gain from your patience but if you got in from its upwards there's also big possibility being trapped along the way, better to watch closely before making your entry.
