The Ripple Thread

For those who suggested ripple will peak at $3, what happens now? And does anyone have an idea in general what will happen when a coin maxes out from these crazy runs? Will cryptos eventually start to behave like traditional commodities?

It's the Korean exchanges that drive up the average, it's over $4 on the likes of Bithumb and Coinone compared to the Bittrex/Bitfinex price of $3.04, have a look here:-

Its the btc/xrp pair you need to watch not the dollar value of ripple. Once investors start taking profits this pairing will rise even though fiat money may still be going into ripple the sell off will have began.
I'm watching closely now as I want to try and get as good a price as I can

I just did the math there. I need it to hit 888 Euro a coin and I can retire....come on baby

Kinda regret only buying a few quid of XRP before Christmas. Only did it for the craic, but now it's taken off.

888 euro a coin wouldn't even get me a years salary

dashoonage · 04-01-2018 10:49AM

slipping down nicely again now. Was hoping to see it break 3 euro today :P

I have to say I haven't gotten around to understanding the "pair" thing (that's reading for this morning...)

If you want to get out of XRP does it make a difference if you choose XRP/ETH or XRP/BTC on, say, Binance?

Was that the Koreans getting involved?

In the world of investing you only make a profit (or loss) when you've sold.

Not really. Other than you'll be at the win/loss of whatever you transfer to. You could go to XRP/USDT which would be a bit more stable and if you are going to reinvest on Binance.

Many thanks. If I bought ETH or BTC on Binance it would only be to facilitate rebuying or cashing out elsewhere.

There are different fees and speeds for buying and sending different coin types from Coinbase say to Binace.

So make sure you choose wisely, as it's a rookie mistake and you end up paying higher fees by choosing the wrong type.

Also, you can reduce fees by sending coins to GDAX (coinbase parent company) first before say onto Binance (bizarre I know) but again its better in your pocket than theirs.

Your verification from Coinbase will do you for GDAX but you may need to send one more piece of I.D

Usual regret from myself - "Why didn't I buy more when I bought in early December

"

I seem to have a habit of underinvesting ... call it being too risk averse.

Dades · 04-01-2018 01:29PM

I sold about 15% of my XRP to "diversify" last week, but I'm not complaining. The glass is almost full.

Of course the real question is are things going to peak before any Coinbase etc announcements are made... like Apple stock often surging ahead of announcements?

I feel like it's a giant game of chicken.

thejaguar · 04-01-2018 01:30PM

This is killing me - I thought about this before Christmas but was too lazy to follow up.

Now I'm watching the millions walk away...

I'm also having a nightmare getting verified on Coinbase. Looks like it's just not meant to be this time around.

RasTa · 04-01-2018 01:31PM

Gate hub won't confirm the text they sent. Any other wallets for ripple?

Never mind working now. I think I'll just leave it on binance

Ace2007 · 04-01-2018 01:32PM

What’s the easiest, safest and cheapest way to buy ripple? Bear in mind I don’t have a clue about it. Other than being old about it when was about 85cent before Xmas.

Also how easy is it to at an e wallet thing and in turn get the money from that to your bank.

BornIn84 · 04-01-2018 01:33PM

I second Ace2007's post. looking for the best platform from an irish bank account to buy!

Dutchy · 04-01-2018 01:34PM

bitstamp.net is easiest

You can deposit by credit card

Will be waiting a while to get verified however!!

I bought in originally at .20c and bought a further 20% of my holding at .60c.
I had a target price in mind for cashing out that I was expecting to hit in march 2018, it hit that a hell of a lot sooner than i was expecting.
I sold out 80% of my holding at €1.425(Euro pricing just to upset the dollar lovers :pac:)
My remaining 20% is now covering the total original investment and over 100% in profit versus my original investment.
Now granted the raise since i sold has been huge, but I cant knock a 500% profit and still having skin in the game.

Its the struggle of HODL versus profit but I always say a profit banked is better than a profit apparent.

If I was starting from Scratch I would. Buy ETH on Coinbase. Sign up to Bittrex. Send your ETH to Bittrex. And then trade your ETH to Ripple (XRP). Easier said than done I know, but look into it. Verification may hold you back on Bittrex, but I don't think it took long when I signed up.

BornIn84 · 04-01-2018 01:44PM

can you purchase directly on Bittrex no?

Not that I know of. Its just a trading platform for many different Cryptos.

Dades · 04-01-2018 01:51PM

Bittrex aren't taking any new registrations at the moment.

At least they're honest about it and not leaving you hanging in anticipation.

I'm signed up to binance and have verified account on coinbase with some small amount of bitcoin.

I want to buy some ripple with euro

Should I buy ether or more bitcoin and transfer to binance or will i be destroyed in fees

any better way?

thanks

Ether, the transfer time is quicker and associated fees less.

I don't have many but sold two thirds of my coins for 100% profit so will sit and watch how high ripple can go with the last few I have left
