crypto currency discussion

[The Kraken]

I hate buying anything on the upswing, but I bit the bullet and got in on Ripple. When it first spiked to 2.43 last week, I knew there'd be a pullback, but I still didn't get in at that point because I wanted to see what the bounce back would do. And the bounce back has went from 1.60 to 3.00+ in about 4 days. I think this is legit currency now and you will start seeing more conservative investors getting into it. I wouldn't be surprised if the price hits $10 by February.

$10?!!!

Teach me your ways, masta

Ripple up to 3.74 right now. My goodness. How the hell did I not make half a million dollars on this coin??? $25k in ripple at $0.2 would have done it. I was telling peeps to buy ripple and I didn't have enough.

I'm so pissed with my bank right now. Last week I tried to buy 2500 XRP on bitstamp when it was $1.7 each. Bastards didn't clear the purchase since they thought it might have been fraud (despite me buying from bitstamp many times the last year). That denied purchase will probably cost me $5k. Fukkers.

How high can ripple go?

Who the heck really knows how to value these coins? This is uncharted waters. I still don't understand how the price is set for any of these currencies. I keep hearing that ripple cannot reach BTC levels but who really knows? When you have institutional investors dumping $1 billion dollars in an afternoon, this thing could go through the roof.

How high can ripple go?

I look at in comparison to how other crypts started out, and how high they went once they got established.

LiteCoin - was trading at $1.78 in Nov 2015. It's $200 today. Before the superboom, in June it was trading at $10 which even if you sold then is still a nice profit.

Ethereum was trading at $10 in Feb 2017. It's now $937

Bitcoin everyone knows how much it has skyrocketed.

What is stopping Ripple from going as high as these others IF there are enough investors pushing their money into it? And I think trading on Coinbase is going to help them if they are able to do it.

I'm not saying Ripple is the best product out there, but I think once these small crypts make it up to $1, $2, $3, that they are more "legit" in the eyes of investors and it's easier to get more $$$$ flowing into them. More people will have heard about it, more exchanges will be offering it, and they'll be jumping in. They are no longer purely speculative penny stocks like lot of crypts are that trade for pennies.

[Mac4Lyfe]

A lot of things are stopping Ripple from going as high as BTC, LTC and ETH. Here's the biggest.

96,760,863 ETH
54,606,858 LTC
16,781,237 BTC

38,739,144,847 XRP *

Ripple has 40 BILLION shares so to speak, while BTC has less than 20 Million. If all things were equal BTC is 2300 times more per share. So if 1 BTC is worth $23,000 then 1 XRP would be worth $10.

[Mac4Lyfe]

BTC will max out at 21 million while XRP at 100 Billion. BTC's was developed with the end in mind. As time went on, it would be harder and harder to mine/find BTC's, which means it becomes rare like gold. Ripple was designed where the company will always own 50% of the coin. That can be a good or bad thing. What's bad in my mind is the following.

Opencoin who developed ripple was co-founded by CEO Chris Larsen and CTO Jed McCaleb. McCaleb is well-grounded in digital currency, coming from Mt. Gox. We all know what happened to Mt. Gox???

Yeah I don’t think anyone knows for sure how high it can go, but in your posts you often look at btc price and compare it to what xrp can become, but in any comparison you have to look at market cap. One of the main reasons btc is keeping such a high value is because of how few there are (actually less than 16 million on the market)

If MJ signed 10 rookie cards or 100, 000 rookie cards, it would affect the price paid for those cards.

It’s going to shoot past my original projections (most likely) however unless it becomes the worlds currency and ends world hunger+ buys a new planet, xrp cannot be 1,000 a coin. There’s a lot of joe investors (just look at Twitter) that bought a few hundred of these and are going to get burned thinking that will come. Because whatever that peak price is, that’s much lower then 1k, it’ll be quick and there will be some people left holding the 100 billion bag lol

There’s a lot of bad things that can happen with this coin, and many keeping it from getting as high as many dream about. Definitely going try n sell half of my position as close to coinbase peak as possible and let the other half ride for fun.

Side note: there’s going to be less than 21 million, as rumored there are at least million + that are lost.

And whatever the figure is that Satoshi still has. I mean he could show up one day and sell them hypothetically lol (those might be more valuable in a weird way)

Or he died and didn’t tel anyone how to find his coin

If you are long term you should not even be thinking about this.

Long term means you need to add new money to buy TRON if you want some, not sell you current long term holdings.

Binance freezing up every minute or so, downloaded the Android app despite recent poor reviews...works great!

[goofyre]

How long do we think before Ether overtakes Bitcoin Cash for the $2500ish coin? 6 months?

Expect the market to crash within a week when people start selling off their coins to cash out.
After the crash is when it's the best time to invest. Just giving any newbies to crypto and stocks a heads up.

[goofyre]

Just bought a litecoin and transferred to bittrex to buy TRX.. only to realize you can't buy it on bittrex. Don't be dumb like me kids.

[shadymcgrady]

Looks like binance crashed again, TRON and ripple fluctuating and oscillating like crazy
