Topic: [XRP] Ripple Speculation - page 433. (Read 637326 times)
since march this year ripple has gone 35 times and people still it is going higher. if you had 10k usd it would be worth near enough 500k usd.
( lols when you were selling 40k of eth at $1...i prob i bought many of them of you back then lol..around january2016)
Yeah. I put solar panels on my roof. I like those solar panels a lot, but I'd rather have nine and a half million dollars.lol wow is that what it comes to now...damn...well im gonna be honest ( i just vision you lookin at your $9mill solar panels lol..i wonder how 10k btc pizza guy feels now .. ive had many moments too lol)
at the start i bought so many..around 7k+. @ $1ish
i sold / traded alot at $4+ as eth was still early days and i thought i could double up ( as you do lol) but it didnt work out very well, so i just hodled what i had left
and always insisted keep enough for pos

I've regretted many sells but not a single buy.

I have had the same exact experience... it so sad! So many opportunities lost!
look how much ripple swings everyday, up and down, there is no confidence in it, it is living off pure speculation. i hope people make money good luck, enron made shits of money too.
I think the big drop from 42 cents to 20 cents was largely due to shaking out people who bought in just because of the sudden increase in price and had no confidence in long-term viability. Probably also some people who bought in very cheaply sold out enough to ensure their financial security.Recently, the swings have been much smaller. There seem to be enough participants who see drops as a buying opportunity to hold for the long term.
All of the major cryptos seem to be setting new all time highs every few months. This has taught many people not to sell on a drop. I do think that it's inevitable that sooner or later following this practice will cost some people some significant amounts of money, but for the moment this seems to be the smart bet. I've bought and sold many cryptos over the past seven years. I've regretted many sells but not a single buy. I sold 40,000 ETH at $1, and was thrilled to do it at the time. Had I held those ETH today, the profit on that would have exceeded every loss I could ever have made in the space, even had everything else I ever bought dropped to zero.
I would advise these four rules:
1) Don't buy into anything you don't believe in. Don't try to knowingly profit from a scam.
2) Don't sell anything at a loss unless you don't believe in the project anymore.
3) Don't sell anything at a profit if you still believe in it, unless you think you're moving to an even better opportunity or are taking significant profits.
4) Don't risk anything you can't afford to lose.
I really agree to anything you said.
These Cryptocoins are not a bubble, this is the future. As we were thinking that bitcoin was a bubble in 2013 when it hit 1000$ :lol:

Did you observe circulating supply in coinmarketcap? Watch from today: https://coinmarketcap.com/currencies/ripple/#charts
I will not cofirmar something that I do not know but it seems that the developers are pouring xrp, therefore the price has reached 24k, the circulating supply has already increased to more than 2 billion xrp. OBSERVE.

As all you guys know, ripple was bypassed by ethereum 2 weeks ago, but I don't think this will maintain for long time. Ripple's market capitalization will exceed ethereum's.
TONIGHT XRP will raise to 20000 stay tuned
There are many haters for Ripple which is a good thing as you know that people are paying attention to the coin.
One lesson I learnt about Ripple is not to short this coin no matter how high it goes. Many people were burnt shorting Ripple just like Ethereum in its early days.
I won't chase to buy Ripple at high price but wait for it to dip before buying the coin. Then I would sell when it reaches my target price.

XRP is manipulated to go to 1$ 
XRP will see pump soon, news coming
Poor coin i lost 500$,how i find news about altcoins?How did you manage ?
Well if you bought on top you would be down around 40% now...
if buy at the high price, You should be backup with buying when the price fell, and it could be a good recovery If selling at current prices

Ripple XRP News: Meet Miguel Vias, The Cuban-Born Idealist Behind The XRP Cryptocurrency
Miguel Vias, head of XRP markets at the blockchain startup Ripple, is living the American dream. “My mother smuggled me out of Cuba when I was 2 years old,” Vias told International Business Times. Raised by a single mom in Miami, neither a degree from Yale nor several years at traditional corporations like Bank of America and CME Group have changed his penchant for jokes and repeating how lucky he feels.
“How do you know I don’t have a magic wand?” he replied to a question about the future of Ripple’s cryptocurrency, XRP. CNBC reports XRP is now valued at $26 billion, second only to bitcoin. Vias has a clear vision for XRP’s future. And so far, he’s pursued this overhaul with relentless focus.

Vias joined Ripple in 2016, a company that has raised $93.6 million, Crunchbase reported. Unlike many blockchain executives today, Vias wasn’t crazy about bitcoin in the early days of blockchain experimentation. “I heard about bitcoin, but it wasn’t until XRP that I was really captured by the possibilities,” he said.
The technology that fuels XRP is slightly different than competing tokens like bitcoin and ether. For starters, Ripple still controls the bulk of its cryptocurrency and its network unlike decentralized competitors fueled by community engagement. This makes XRP controversial among cryptocurrency aficionados.
The company is also widely seen as more business-oriented than ideological. “Ripple is not the grand vision of blockchain technology realized,” Logan Kugler, a partner at the hedge fund General Crypto, wrote for the Huffington Post. “Which is why blockchain purists resent it.”
Another key difference is Ripple has a built-in mechanism that can freeze a payment in transit until certain conditions are met, such as a specific date or another online transaction gets completed. “It gets cryptographically frozen, everyone can see it,” Vias explained.
When the broader cryptocurrency market fluctuated and investors worried about a blockchain bubble destined to burst, Ripple countered by announcing it will hold 55 billion XRP tokens in escrow to protect the currency’s long-term liquidity. “This gives the market much more clarity about supply,” Vias said. Next on his agenda, Vias is spearheading a push he described as “radical and aggressive decentralization.”
Decentralization includes partnerships with a variety of virtual marketplaces and financial service providers beyond Ripple's ties to banks and corporate clients. Reuters reported Nejc Kodrič, the CEO of one of Europe’s leading bitcoin exchange markets, Bitstamp, said the demand for XRP is particularly strong.
“The core center of our strategy is partnering with enterprise grade institutions who have a vested interest in making sure the XRP network is as healthy as possible,” Vias said. “A prime example is our partnership with BitGo.” BitGo’s digital wallet recently added XRP support. “In conjunction with that support, they are also running a node on the network,” Vias said. “Because now part of their business now relies on XRP, they have a vested interest in making sure the network is robust.”
Ripple is still focused on payment transfers, first and foremost. But while bitcoin traders are often fiercely anti-capitalist compared to more business-minded XRP users, philosophy still factors into Vias’ vision. “Imagine a world where the price of sending payments is almost zero,” he said. “If you could, I think there are some pretty positive effects something like Ripple could have in terms of the challenges immigrants face.”

Ripple is going down again. Not enough hype guys? I guess that I should set now a buy orde on below 10k sats price. Please fill my order immediately. 
Don't worry, XRP is a long-term investment. But if you are in a hurry, so sell it, it will give us even cheaper XRP
- This is my happy week, the price of the ripple has shown signs of recovery, maybe because of good news from Japan, that made its prices rise again, hopefully it will reach 18k or 20k in the next few weeks. I heard many people say it is a coin garbage but maybe now they will retract that statement, this is a potential and very powerful coin, it is not rubbish. I am very much looking forward to the development team of ripple will give more information and strategy to develop it, that will create trust and attract more investors

It just got a whole lot easier for banks to do business with bitcoin.
Yesterday, Ripple open-sourced the first bitcoin plug-in for its Interledger protocol (ILP), designed to seamlessly let users conduct transactions across a wide range of ledgers.
By open-sourcing the bitcoin tool, along with another plug-in for enterprise-focused platform Chain, Ripple was able to conduct, in a live demo, a single transaction across seven different ledgers. Conducted at the Blockchain Expo in Berlin, Germany, the single transaction went across public blockchains, private blockchains, a centralized ledger and a traditional payment channel.
While no single transaction would likely ever require so many ledger integrations, Ripple CTO Stefan Thomas said the purpose of the demo was to show future users that traditional channels can work in harmony with distributed ledgers.
Thomas said:
"We think that’s where the future is going. We think that in the future all different ledgers will be tied together and transactions will be very seamless. So we want to make sure that our customers are going to be set up for success in that world."
In addition to the newly open-sourced bitcoin and Chain integrations, an Interledger transaction for a "relatively small" value was also conducted with Ripple’s native currency, XRP, using both an XRP escrow and an XRP payment channel. Ethereum, Ripple’s centralized Five Bells Ledger and a so-called 'trustline' were also used in the transaction.
The payment was converted from fiat to ether to XRP to euros, depending on the payment channels, with Interledger’s connectors converting the currency and forwarding the payments from one ledger to another.
Interoperability in sight
The Interledger demonstration is part of an overall industry trend towards merging blockchains –one that has gained significant momentum this year.
grab it while its still cheap....
XRP IS THE FUTURE....

XRP IS THE FUTURE
....easiest way right now is pto deposit fiat (€/$/JPY) at kraken and getting your XRPs there -> no need to pay BTC fees
Indeed but you got XRP trade fee. Stamp do the same one (except JPY) since January.
For me its better to trade XRP/$ than XRP/BTC ; even at 0.20$ the price is good.
