Topic: [XRP] Ripple Speculation - page 558. (Read 637625 times)
XRP coin has some potential. It's worth holding, the mere fact that it's price has not fallen all this time shows that it will one day spike.
I think Waves may stand a fair chance at replacing ripple, not an endorsement just my opinion.
I have to admit after being involved in the cryptocurrency economy since 2013, Ripple has never caught my eye.
I think it was the pre-mine/centralized image portrayed by ripple.
I don't know of one person that is into ripple. And ripple is in the top tier of cryptos.
This could be an opportunity for ripple.
I recently tried using ripples gatehub and it sucks. Left me with a taste in my month never to bother with ripple again.
Just my 2 satoshis.

Is it just me having problems uploading ID to Gatehub?
Hi all
I am new to cryptocoins. I dont own any, and thinking about investing.
Bitcoin is too expensive and the only interesting coin I found was ripple. Reason for that is that I like they are doing something "real" - meaning helping banks to save money.
Few days ago I saw the article about Ripple making dead with Santander bank. I am watching the price of XRP for some time, but I dont see any big movement. I was expecting it will raise after this deal going public, but nothing happened..
Can somebody please explain why? And what needs to happen for this coin to raise value?
thank you

buy the hype, sell the news. This was already priced in by insider probably.

Big things happening for Ripple, i'm surprised that no one of the Ripple team is on this forum and updating the crypro currency community about it. https://www.cryptocoinsnews.com/santander-blockchain-ripple-international-payments/
Ripple appears to be stable in relation to the BTC price change.
Here is my two cents to start it off, starting with a Disclaimer.
Disclaimer: I have weighted portfolio of Bitcoin (5 - 10%), Ethereum (70 - 80%), XRP/Ripple (10 - 25%). I'm a HODLer, not a Day Trader,a nd reportionments are done rarely based on trends. My purpose of this post is to try and determine whether a repportionment of Ripple is appropriate. And I am currently of an equal mind. 33% to lower stake. 33% says stay hte course. 33% says increase shares. So real certainty here I tell ya! LOL Hoping someone will say something here to un-jam my mental logs.
Hopefully the above distribution only represents the crypto portion of your portfolio. Common wisdom would be for most people to have BTC as their largest crypto holding. Your Ethereum weighting (70-80%) is way too high for any position, even ignoring the current bubble. If you are a bank wanting to test potential uses for distributed ledgers in a strict KYC environment absent decentralized control of funds XRP might be interesting. For anyone else XRP is not very interesting.
Best advice I've heard in months! Look at the Ether price now. I've been holding XRP's since 2014. Let's see what happens.
Thank you. Sometimes I get accused of trolling but I try to be impartial. I do not claim to be an expert on every coin. My comment was primarily directed at the asset allocation described by the post above.

when people say they are holding XRP i'm curious to get a sense of quantity in view of the price (due to the enormous supply side).
Here's a poll from XRPChat - http://www.xrpchat.com/topic/716-anonymous-poll-about-investmenttrading-in-xrp-by-xrpchatters/#comment-5753
The amount of available XRP is a bit misleading because we don't know what % of XRP is held by financial institutions and not being traded. At any given time you'll see that there's very little XRP on the order books suggesting that most people that own it are buying and holding. If you were to buy $10K worth of XRP on Gatehub.net right now, you'd shift the price from 0.0078 to 0.0090...

I'm just doing some thinking on my personal situation here.
BTC market cap is 23 times that of XRP.
My crypto portfolio consists of 5.5% XRP.
I really have no idea if that's reasonable. There are so many things to consider. I believe Ripple market cap could be at least equal to BTC and I believe that both will be many times higher than they are at present. It's a $34 Trillion market these techs are looking to disrupt, so with that much money floating around out there it's mind boggling.

Lets not forget that Ripple supports a transaction volume many times higher than Bitcoin. And transactions get into the ledger within a few seconds instead of 10 minutes to an hour (or more). Furthermore, the Ripple Consensus Ledger simply *does more*, there are built in order books, pathfinding, and payments allowing users to interact more conveniently with fiat IOUs.
Honestly in a comparison of Bitcoin vs Ripple, all I need to see it the bold/underline above. If Ripple would develop a Wallet/Exchange base worth something, then I can see it replacing Bitcoin in the actual use case scenario. Bitcoin has a huge head-start. It is the "First Love" of many people, including myself to a degree - but honestly, so many of us are just plain pissed/frustrated with Bitcoin. It seems to be a nowhere coin - going nowhere, doing nothing, and competitors springing up all around it. Ripple is perhaps THE best positioned coin to displace it (NOT saying it will) IF IT GETS AN EXCHANGE/WALLET BASE ESTABLISHED.I realize that isn't looking like the plan at present, but I think that may not be bad, becasue I think they are trying to solidify the banks first. If they do manage that, then launch "public access" - then this could go somewhere fast. But I think we'll see this adoption/realization build up slowly for some more time, then pop. So... not yet.
I think they'll leave it to community to develop consumer-facing products like wallets and exchanges. They aren't interested in being a money-service business. They're a software company that's trying to revolutionize how value is transmitted. Ripple is interested in XRP but isn't all about XRP. They've stated over and over again that they want to build a very low-level protocol that unlocks value that's been siloed because of lack of ledger interoperability. They aren't trying to change business rules or replace the current financial infrastructure. The Ripple network allows for 3.5s settlement between entities on the Ripple Consensus Ledger, now Ripple's promoting their interledger protocol to allow disparate ledgers to interoperate. If people see value in XRP they will build the tools around it. I think we do see Ripple engaging strategic partnerships that will increase the demand for an interest in XRP though, it's just what they're all about. At the end of the day rest assured that their investors are interested in a BIG return, their investors damn sure are interested in XRP gaining value.
