Since i am the 'good luck' troll i thought id jump on to see if it helps you ripplers as hasnt looked good the last few days no matter what news you have thrown at it. I said the next test will be when BTC rallies again to see how many XRP investors were just using it to fatten their BTC supply. Turns out 3bill worth lol.
So the next good news is another exchange adding XRP? i would hope that you guys are more wanting growth from real world usage not just new exchanges adding it. Thats what happened this week with South Korea adding it, causing a flurry. Not how i want a coin im backing to grow as when the dust settles they disappear.
Also this great article you posted -

'Correction: a previous version of this article incorrectly stated that the price of XRP is of no consequence to Ripple with the thinking they only want very low volatility. While low volatility and stout stability is a heavy focus of theirs, they are keen to see the price rise.' Volatility has been mentioned before, this seems to indicate that liquidity providers will wear this risk. Hate to say it but no liquidity provider is going to wear that until its fairly stable either!
Oh and hillarious the article finishes with
'Disclosure: I personally own some XRP.' wouldnt be biased at all lol
I've been following this forum for a few weeks.. and I think the best way to describe you would be "even a broken clock is right twice a day".
You dont seem to understand that nobody here cares about your irrelevant 'better than thou' attitude whenever there is turbulence in the market. If you want to use BTC as such a shining example of stability, or any altcoin for that matter, maybe you should take a look at the historical data which shows the highs and lows that they have all been through - XRP will be no different. We are however, generally more interested here in investing and advancing the value of XRP over the long term (as we have something called foresight, which you so clearly lack), so this volatility means very little when you consider how much money is on its way into Cryptocurrency.
I think everyone would appreciate posts that weren't just arrogant attempts to manipulate market sentiment, gloating or simply blatant attention seeking.
Here's a fresh new idea for not only you, but everyone who reads these posts - focus on the long term success of ALL Cryptocurrencies. We all stand to gain so much more by spreading the word of their existence, assisting with their integration into real world markets and fostering their adoption into society than we do by gloating over an ultimately inconsequencial and (quite frankly) expected price fluctuation.
