And here is another strategy that also deserves recognition (a little old):
Is this going to be the next big thing???

"A Debit Card Powered by Ripple
Aug 13, 2014 | Alec Liu

The new debit card by Y Combinator-backed Shift Payments

One of the cool things about the Ripple protocol is how it bridges the old world with the new, much like how the internet transformed the way we distribute, digest, and even create information. Books, music, and videos breathe new life online in digital form online where they enjoy greater accessibility and utility. More people have more access to more culture than ever before. That’s amazing."

The ripple platform is centralised to one operating firm and therefore is being welcomed more openly by regulators.
It's important to understand that the public ledger tech XRP uses has been carefully designed to support decentralization and we've been working actively to increase its decentralization as quickly as we can. With luck, the recent increase in value and attention will increase interest in getting new stakeholders to improve decentralization.

With the change in the way XRP is being viewed and used, this is becoming more and more important.

Yes!!  A lot of the hardcore BTC people and also the idealist of the free world always put down XRP from the centralization aspect.  This strategy hits the nail in the head!
BRAVO!

This is very, very awesome news. And one more step for XRP not to depend on XBT anymore!

I'm new to XRP, and if someone could help me settle it in my mind that would be great.

From what I understand it is the cryptocurrency used to move assets on the ripple platform.
Until recently it has been used mainly by large banks and a few individuals to move currency across borders with smaller fees. These transaction were 2 way (Home currency used to buy XRP, then XRP instantly exchanged for desired foreign currency)
Recently however people have begun to buy XRP to hold until later dates, this has resulted in the price becoming active and speculation becoming possible.

The ripple platform is centralised to one operating firm and therefore is being welcomed more openly by regulators.

Is everything I have said correct?
If there is anything wrong in my thinking or any other information to add I would appreciate the help.

Good job, guy. Xrp will be hottest coin in this year. Many investors joined this game.
however you need to wait for more new updates before you can make a good decision for investment.

Earlier this year we announced our partnership with BitGo to make it easier for banks and payment providers to use XRP for global payments. Today we are pleased to share we have expanded our partnership with BitGo and will list XRP on several leading digital asset exchanges: Bitso, Coinone, bitbank, and SCI’s BuyBitcoin. Additionally, AlphaPoint will be adding XRP to their platform so that their exchange customers can easily list XRP, and separately, Quoine’s QRYPTO exchange will list XRP in Q2 2017. SBI Virtual Currencies also plans to list XRP later this year.

By working with a greater number of exchanges across different countries to list XRP, we can better serve the growing demand for global payments in both major currency corridors and emerging markets. This is ultimately because the more XRP is traded against different currencies, such as the Korean won (Coinone) and the Mexican peso (Bitso), the more liquid it becomes.

“Listing XRP on several new exchanges reduces the friction for our customers to send payments into these rapidly growing markets,” notes Asheesh Birla, VP of Product at Ripple. “Within hours our customers can get-up-and-running with payments into a new country.”

As XRP liquidity increases through these additional exchange listings, cross-border payments become easier for financial institutions to make, particularly in emerging markets. This is crucial because making payments in many emerging market currencies can be costly: it requires multiple currency traders and pre-funded local currency accounts in the destination country – effectively trapping cash. Instead, banks and payment providers can use XRP to settle these payments on demand, and in a highly liquid and low volatility state, XRP could lower liquidity costs for banks by approximately 98 percent.

BitGo Co-founder & CEO Mike Belshe, commenting on the announcement, said: “Ripple’s momentum in making cross-border payments a reality with XRP is palpable. We’re excited to be working with Ripple, and we’re proud to have been selected by them to help exchanges and their users secure XRP. We expect 2017 will be a very strong year for XRP.”

XRP is a digital asset with a clear use case – it’s the best digital asset for payments. We are pleased to see the continued demand for XRP via these new exchange listings as it ultimately enables us to provide our customers one frictionless experience to send money around the globe, particularly in those markets that need this service the most. Our ongoing work with BitGo and these new exchanges will allow us to fulfill that commitment and builds on the significant momentum established by XRP’s previous listings on Bitstamp and Kraken.


Polo is unable to handle the volume so this is a good thing..

Just take a good profit before it's too late. There will be some bad news coming next days.
Proof or liar!!!!!!!

Although I'm a big fun of bitcoin, I think it is very unlikely that we'll here any bad news about Ripple in coming days. In my opinion XRP has a very bright future because it doesn't compete with bitcoin but rather helps its users in a way (remember The Bitcoin Bridge).

Do you want to take a big profit after investing XRP for a while . Yes or No if you are an investor ?
It's simple to understand why They want to sell this coin at this time.

no proof. this is how frustrating it is for them so they spread all these just to drag the price down for them to find an entry position in a lower price?  
too trite.

the only ones who does that are those without budget so i could understand they can't buy at a price of $0.35. this price is just too expensive for them.

guys that have been here for over a week lol...know whats gona happen now


btc gona go up a bit...xrp correction, sideways maybe for 24/48 hour max, then the btc money and fresh fiat willl come to XRP, just like it has done for past 2months.

imo, buy anythin in the teens, or anythin under 20k asap  Wink
people took profits,  some bought alts that saw a price rise today....
Times up for cheap XRP imo, we will not be here for much longer as alt profits/btc and fresh fiat all come back for more XRP.

Remember, higher highs and higher lows.... Wink
XRP is a buy right now  Cool


continuing the journey and playing with fluctuations are really fun to do with xrp trading but as you mention its buy time while the price still
at low and with those news that you provide here will move those traders which is not trading xrp yet and open their eyes to start doing it
good luck guys.
