Topic: [XRP] Ripple Speculation - page 95. (Read 637272 times)

I like Ripple as company. I don't like Ripple as coin holding.

I would love to have a share in the Ripple company and would hold longterm. Holding utility Ripple coin is just useless. Service users of Ripple don't even have to use XRP. What exactly is the idea behind the growth of XRP other than speculation?

And are you expecting Ripple to surpass marketcap of Visa for example?

Even under these circumstances, XRP will not grow sufficiently. It will not lose the popularity among the people, who regularly use Ripple, but I do not think that it will affect the currency price.

Yesterday I heard XRP was accepted as a payment method in advacash. It is breakthrough!
ripple should show positive dynamics after this news.

Then i think now right time to buy XRP at 0.5$  Anyway you will be not only person who will dump the price.
Big pump on the way, silence in crypto marke hope so bull run will be start very soon. 

I hope it pumps enough to break $4. Whenever this happens I am dumping it, and dumping it very hard. I bought lots around this price in January 2017, and I've been sitting on a massive loss ever since then.

I would like to hear people's opinion on XRP/Ripple.  News, Trends, Concepts, Technical Issues... anything pro or con that might be indicative of it's survival or growth opportunities in actual real world use cases.   Or things that indicate it's failure.

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.

My current facts as "I" see them....

CURRENT PRICE:  Ripple is doing absolutely nothing.  No real motion in any direction except sideways.  Only recent facto that may be contributor is the court case that allowed prior founder (McCaleb) to unload his billions of XRP at a current rate of "0.5% of average daily volume for each day of the week, including weekends and holidays".  So hardly anything of much substance, however, the fact that the price hasn't gone down means that there are at least enough buyers to keep the price even.

NEWS: I keep a very steady eye on Ripple, constantly trolling news, webs, boards for info.  Again - nothing.  Almost a total black hole of current news.  The only recent "news" are name dropping tidbits about SBI Holdings in Asia wanting to use Ripple.  Microsoft Azure being open to Ripple blockchains.  R3CEV hinting at Hyperledger open to Ripple use cases.  Royal Bank of Canada (RBC) running a Ripple Blockchain Trial.  Press Releases about 42% savings to banks using Ripple.   And vague references to Interledger, which is sort of analogous to Hyperledger or Lightening network in a way..... talk, no real world scenarios yet though.  And all of this very hypy-vague.   Just little tidbit trickles of "News", "non-News" actually, that basically says, "Hey, we're alive."

GENERAL THOUGHTS:  I think Ripple/XRP IS still alive, and due to the nature of its business model, is in "secret development" mode.  I mean, you won't see news, until you see news, but whe that news does come - it may be a hard break.  My opinion is that will most likely be up (obviously - I DO own it), but I guess it could be down, or it might even be just a really really slow up if the news is not dramatic enough that other coins (Bitcoin/Ethereum etc) aren't also releasing big news, and thereby suck up all the investment money that might go into Ripple/XRP - thereby blunting the reaction.  However, it could go the other way,a nd we could get good news out of Ripple / bad out of Ethereum/Bitcoin, and the pressure could be exacerbated up.   Also- the whole "premined" aspect doesn't bother me that much.  With all my crypto investments I am looking primarily at actual eventual use case scenarios to determine value.  The 2nd tier money coins (Lite, Dash, Monero etc) are of no interest, and even the Utility coins (Emercoin, Maidsafe, etc) seem a bit too spiky/dodgy and subject to market manipulation/risk to me.

Ripple is obviously a top tier player, but a little lacking in discussion at present.  Thought I'd fire up a topic.

Even when he wants to buy more today, I can sense the feeling of regret somehow.

I felt bad for those who bought at that price but what can I say, someone losses and someone wins. It so happen its the team that's winning mostly in this game. Its hard to just keep looking up to them while they celebrate and you keep waiting when the real news that will actually make prices shove up

vow, now you buy XRP at the moment they are 50 cents, then buy the amount they will compensate for you, the average price you buy ETH will decrease, and wait, maybe last year Now the XRP price will rise to $ 2

i bought some XRP at the end of January this year. its price is $3, at that time. now it's only 50 cents. maybe now is the right time to buy it. i think it's hard to get back to 3 dollars again, most recently.
