Topic: [XRP] Ripple Speculation - page 453. (Read 637326 times)

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.

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?

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.

Something I really do not believe in this coin. But for the game - normal.

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.

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  

BTC is falling, XRP grows

pump incoming?

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.

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

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

im sure its a plug in.for any one...that allows websites to add XRP as a payment option  

It seems like something new. Could you kindly explain what this programme does? Thanks!!

Hi mate. Consensus  is over but no biggie news as hinted by you... whats happening...? Did we miss something...

Joel Katz
I am sorry that wound up misleading people. Let me explain what happened:

Originally, we were going to have three demos at consensus. XRP to ETH using ILP, Banking payments using XRP/paychan under ILP, and a demo of a future vision of a micropayment system over ILP.  

We were also going to do several corporation partnership/strategy announcements,   including the lockup and the new exchanges   and so on at consensus.  

It reached the point where there just weren't slots for all the demos or time to do the releases. And it wouldn't have given people time to track us down to discuss new partnerships and so on if those announcements motivated them to talk to us. Also, we expected everyone else to announce at consensus, so we might have gotten lost in the noise.

So the strategy changed. We announced more things before consensus and at some point, we just decided to announce pretty much everything before consensus to go in consensus on a high with everyone already wanting to talk to us about what we were doing.

The strategy, I think, worked well. We did enter consensus with a high level of excitement. Lots of people wanted to work for us, and we had lots of high-level talks with all kinds of people. We had lots of companies offer to run validators in lots of jurisdictions. It was awesome.

But the downside was that we didn't announce very much new at consensus, though that was the original plan.

Again, I apologize for misleading people. That was totally my fault. I was really excited about we had coming and really couldn't resist sharing my enthusiasm. I'd say I'll be more careful in the future, but I think that would be kind of a sad thing. Know that I will always try to be completely honest and say only what I genuinely believe but that sometimes things will change and that is beyond my control.




Joel all is gd, we are human ( for the time being..lol im planning on becoming a cyborg lol)
im sure everything you mentioned will have happened or will happen soon anyways
Thanks m8

Here's how I've been explaining it recently:

1) There's a business that Ripple has providing transaction processing software to banks. It can work without XRP and without any blockchain tech. It improves international payments because it uses end to end messaging to track payment progress, ensure all necessary compliance information is in the transaction in the first place, precisely knows the fees ahead of time, and provides prompt, reliable confirmation of delivery. This is a big enough improvement that banks will use it even if the actual money moves the same way it does now.

2) Ripple has built a public blockchain with a native asset. It has various nice features -- a distributed exchange, good governance, fast transactions, high transaction volume, native multisign, key rotation, payment channels, and so on.

3) The hard part about getting banks to use a blockchain isn't the blockchain, it's everything else. It's governance, compliance, integration with banking systems, and so on. our software does all that stuff, so if routing a payment through XRP is a penny cheaper, the bank can take it. Then we have to make XRP cheaper somewhere that matters.

4) We don't target the biggest corridors like USD->EUR because they're efficient. We target an inefficient, but fairly high volume, corridor. For example, EUR->INR. Market makers have very small profit margins, so even a small incentive to place good EUR<->XRP and XRP<->INR offers can beat what banks are getting now through the correspondent banking system.

5) Once we get one corridor, we hang other countries off each end of the corridor, expanding the reach of XRP.

6) Now, say you're a company like Seagate that pays out money all over the globe. If you have to make payments to five countries in our corridors, you'd rather hold one pile of XRP than five piles of different currencies. That increases demand.

7) Now, say you're a company like Apple with a huge pile of cash. If you want to snap up other assets cheap, you'll need to hold the asset the people selling want. If they're going into any of our corridors, they'll want XRP, so you would want to hold it.

If that succeeds, it should massively increase the price of XRP.

9) Ripple holds a huge pile of XRP and will be the dominant XRP holder for the foreseeable future. But we're primarily VC financed and we get revenue from selling software to banks. We don't use our XRP as a bank account but as a strategic weapon. (Though we do sell some for revenue, we just don't need to for salaries or to keep the lights on.)

10) Anyone who gets XRP from us as part of some deal with a lockup has their incentives aligned with ours. They want the long-term price of XRP to go up too.

I think that pretty much covers our vision. There is, of course, no guarantee of success. This is a pretty crazy thing we're trying to do. But we have 160 full time employees and have raised tens of millions of dollars. We've hired many amazing people, and our track record speaks for itself.


thanks Joel for the awesome info 
guys seagate is a big investor in XRP Ripple and Apple pay has already been succesfully tested on Ripple ....I got a feeling both of these giants will be using XRP

Moon coin just hit 4sat from 1sat yesterday just now on coin market cap, told you to jump on it, it'll only get bigger like apple comp. Thats what you should buy on Bleutrade before it goes on Polo or Bittrex.

Nice time to buy now, isnt it?

Live Demo of XRP TECH in front of the financial elites....anytime now i think

guys when i first saw the tech demo video on Ripple website a few months ago.https://ripple.com/solutions/retail-remittances/#demovideo..i was blown away
ive saw and been involved in many many coins over the yrs...
but the simplicity and the far reaching effect of how the Ripple tech can benefit a whole banking industry and its customers... is groundbreaking..and im a crypto guy
 (so i shouldn't be so easily excited as ive seen many things in crypto that are pretty cool)
now if i was blown away a few months ago...think what the FI will think when they see the demo today...
i got a feeling they will show instant transactions amongst a few banks worldwide and how quickly the distributed ledger updates all the relevant info..this will be revolutionary in the FI industry

Long-term: XRP will continue to rise. It is much farther along than most other alts in having a real use, and we're surely on the path to corporate adoption.
Short-term: Depends on lots of things, news in XRP and other alts (and BTC), speculation, pump and dump, bubble etc.
Very short-term: This is for the traders, who can and do profit from volatility. I have no hope (or at best 50-50) of making any gains in this timeframe.

I'm in XRP for the long-term (also with ETH).
