The Ripple Thread

Morning all

I thought I'd set up a thread for Ripple, considering it's in the top 5 based on market cap.

Ripple CNBC News.

I had bought a stack of Ripple a while back at 0.20 and went in again for more at 0.60.
Its just shy of my hoped for peak today and my sell ordwrs have been set.
I honestly expected good growth from Ripple and was hoping for 1.80 by late 2018.

The amount being bought/traded at the mo and the price growth is crazy!
It really strikes me as a lot of buys by people wanting to hold "full" coins rather than partials and having little understanding of the underlying tech or its uses.
That applies not just to Ripple, but a lot of the lower cost alts that are booming at the mo

I've just read...with the new Uber valuation it makes it now worth less than Ripple, and the most valuable privately held company in Silicon Valley right now is Ripple

this cant continue lads - even i know that

ok thanks for the comments, i would have no interest buying back in on this now, i am very surprised it has reached 1.50, insane but congrats to those who bought low and hodled

This, exactly !
And also the fact that it seems Ripple coins can be conjured up out of fresh air whenever the Ripple management feels like it.

Well, there is a limit to Ripple. Want to make a crypto coin? conjure it up out of thin air and conjure up a max supply. Artificially creating scarcity doesn't automatically imbue something with value. If a coin were the only crypto then perhaps, but there are thousands of these things.

Every recent article mentioning Ripple being used by X and Y at scale, also mentions that the only thing actually being used is the blockchain technology and that actual Ripple tokens are not involved. Why the Ripple price is climbing when it seems clear there is no linkage is unclear to me, unless it's just a lot of people making assumptions and failing to read.

Ripple was actually used by a South American bank I believe in a cross border money transfer, was about 2 months ago

They also keep onboarding new partners and institutions ("good news" generators). In the top 5 coins (very visible). "Cheap" compared to other coins in the top 10, plus the coin initially remained fairly stagnant whilst everything else was flying up, now it's gained it's own momentum

It has industry use and certain people like that. Some Many coins have all sorts of bells and whistles, but many haven't really gone beyond hypothetical use

aint this aimed at bogey ICO's and coins which is a good thing.

cracking down on the criminal element and money laundering.
I'm sure any company that has a good business model and operation has nothing to worry about.

Ripple continues to surprise me, i sold a lot off when it hit .30c, doh. Is it clear that these institutions will actually use xrp too (not just the ripple network)?

The Forbes article above pours a lot of cold water on the xrp tokens/network.

No offense, but you were professing to be a #cryptovirgin a week ago. You have to be careful with speculation/pronouncements about price rises or the future success of a tech. You also have to be aware of and be capable of separating your own self interest in wishing to see a price rise from objective analysis.

Fair point(s)

Sorry should have said just pure speculation on my behalf, but again I revert back to my original question of where is the elephant in the room that I'm failing to see?

I've firmly got my anti hype jacket on when I read up about Ripple, but even if half the rumours are true and the other half of the confirmed contracts etc. turn out to be dead ducks then I fail to see how their price stays the same over the next quarter.

They've some heavy hitters getting on board and a few massive shoulders already behind the Ripple wheel.

https://www.reddit.com/r/Ripple/comments/7jridt/if_you_cant_see_the_writing_on_the_wall_here/?utm_source=reddit-android

I can only see them eating into the market share of say SWIFT in the very near future.

Again; what am I missing here?

So what do I do with them?

Can anyone recommend a good offline wallet? If thats the best thing to do?

Yeah, best to hold in a hardware or offline wallet especially if you hold a dent amount. These Chinese exchanges can shut down at very short notice due to government regulations etc. Not sure which is the best option to hold Ripple right now though.

Also is there a maximum amount of time I'm allowed to keep it on Binance?

You can hold it on an exchange for as long as you like it just isn't regarded as the best thing to do as the safety of your money is at the mercy of that exchange.
