Probably has been posted before but - https://www.cryptoninjas.net/2017/05/25/japan-crypto-exchange-bitbank-goes-live-xrp-trading/

Live today on www.bitbanktrade.jp Havent been following how live XRP is in Japan or how big BitBank is for trading over there but another exchange with free trading and incentives for the biggest volume. Considering its 7am in Japan we could see a pump in a few hours. Same thing happened when Bitstamp, South Korea etc added XRP and incentives...unless it went live yesterday which means it did nothing lol hard to tell with the timezones and where the article was written

i dont own any XRP but im interested to buy some now. Im ok to hold long terme 2 years + if necessary.

what do you think the value of the coin will be in 1-2 years? realistically...

im thinking of buying 10 000 XRP tonight, is it a good time to buy?

If you are "ok to hold long term 2 years+" then adding xrp to your portfolio or trapper keeper over the next 6 months can be justified.
Others are ready to hodl for 5-10 years.
Just know there is a large group of people that bought xrp at $0.00666 for years and if you bought now it would be around $0.25. Thats pretty expensive to me.

If I were buying now, I'd be looking more to actually using XRP for settlement/cross-border payments/goods and services, not to sell for a native currency like others around here that have made millions of $$$ who have been in XRP from the beginning.




I'd still like to think that we are in the beginning stages. I mean, how many of our friends and family use XRP to transact? Almost none. So heaps of opportunities for growth in demand.

If supply is reasonably constant (which is the case for XRP with 55b XRP in smart contracts) then rise in demand means increase in price. This is Economics 101 Supply & Demand.

We are definitely just at the beginning stages of this whole new asset class.

However, nobody can tell you where the price of XRP will go.
Yea I wish it could go to a $1, but I can see it being stable at $0.50 for the next 2 years as well which would be a huge success still to me.

i think we are at the begining of XRP too...why?

well i watched btc journey from a few $$ and goto $100...everyone was thinking similar to god27 comment...but what happened?
then i watched eth journey from 50cents to almost $200...same story, when it hit $10, similar comments to god27
now xrp..a few months ago..off the radar, and at rock bottom price...this is the first run its had...similar to btc going to $50 and eth going to $10
both eth and btc grew at least 20x more over the following yrs,
XRP will do exact the same but even faster and higher..because today the overall market size is much much bigger than ever before and many are willing to risk a few $$ for 5-10XRP  Smiley
Come to think about it..if you know anyone that plays the lottery, instead of them buying a ticket they prob better of buying 5-10xrp every week, at least they stand a higher chance of a good return.

Hello,
As you can see by my name I'm completely new to this whole Cryptocoin thing. 5 years ago I tried to buy 4000 BitCoin but had no clue how so ended up not doing it. You can imagine my pain everyday now haha. Anyway, I really want to buy some XRP early. Can anyone give me a step by step process. I'm horrible with computers too but I really feel like XRP is gonna be a big thing soon and don't want to miss out.
Thank you.

Hey,
I read the forum each day but I never write. Except now, because I can perhaps help you ^^
Have a look on this page: https://ripple.com/xrp/buy-xrp/

Go on youtube and type "buying xrp on poloniex", for example.  A lot of videos with detailed explanations.

BTC, store of value, today's example: some time this day 2800 on GDAX, now 2350 on GDAX, 450 loss, CMC lost 8B just in minutes. With such variation, you can forget about "store of value" and think of "fuck up of value", that not said about "FrankieSegWit 2.0MB".

I want BTC, ETH/ETC and XRP progress, but so far XRP proves more stable.

Japan-based crypto exchange Bitbank announced today Ripple (XRP) has been activated on the platform. The Ripple (XRP/JPY) pair has been added as the second altcoin addition to the virtual currency exchange at bitbank.cc, the company first added Litecoin a few weeks back.

It seems like something new. Could you kindly explain what this programme does? Thanks!!
im sure its a plug in.for any one...that allows websites to add XRP as a payment option  Grin

Ah I see! That's great. I would love to pay in XRP! Currently I get charged too much by Paypal Sad

If this continues, wouldn't billions of people use XRP as form of payment? and XRP is a threat to Paypal??
yes..yes and yes lols

this blows away almost all forms of online payment options available today

+ many btc merchants go through payment processors to speed things up..like bitgo , bitpay etc
with this , they may not need to as its cheaper, the speed is faster and just as secure too  Wink

yes its a plugin for wordpress sites. if you have a wordpress estore or something that accept payment, then this xrp payment plugin will work when you install it on your wordpress site. i use to own a hosted wordpress site and woocommerce is one of the most popular theme developer.
