Don't forget about alts with utility like XRP, Zebec Network, Proton XPR, XDC, Hbar, XLM, Quant, Metallicus etc not financial advice (NFA) ofc 😁🙃

MakCapital

There's a small execution fee and then you pay the funding rate. That rate is determined by the amount of value positioned in longs vs shorts. If more people are long, the longs payout the shorts to keep the contracts open. Same in reserve. Since hard assets generally go up over the long term you'll find that longs are generally paying the shorts the majority of the time. This means if you kept a short contract open for 2 years you'd actually make a pretty decent APY on the position. You'd be getting paid to go short. Maybe over 10% per year on average. However, unless you're hedging the position by also holding the spot asset you're going to risk much more than 10%. Bitcoin has never gone down on multi year timeframes on major fiat pairs. It's had bad 6 months down which equals a bad year, but when you zoom out to multiple years it's only up. Just like any hard asset. USD never stops printing. Never stops being diluted. Can't fight that. Would be insanely dumb to try. Even alt crap currencies and memes can outperform USD over multi year time frames. Even XRP can somehow 🤣. A short near ATH with 25%-50% targets is very doable and many do. Including myself. Every new major support hit should be when you reduce the position or add spot. Otherwise, you'll ride it all the way back up and eventually complete loss.

Now do XRP

Mediocre-Exchange-86

ADA, XRP, ETH, MOG, and of course BTC. But regardless everything is down right now so its a perfect time to buy. Most people are trying to cost average right now becausethey bought in at a higherprice than it is currently. If you just stepped in right now and bought a few thousand from a couple different coins like the ones I mentioned you would be in a great position.

rowdycoffee

My favorites are as follows: Hedera HBAR - hashgraph tech is superior. Chainlink LINK VeChain VET Stellar XLM XRP- but this coin has a short leash for me. I am not sold on its complete blockchain capability, but it is popular. Quant QNT JASMY is risky but has high reward potential. I am sure there are other great projects, and this is not financial advice. We are still early, and there is no guarantee that any of these get mass adoption.

Incoming mass XRP posts expected as they search for more bag holders.

I mean it’s not that bad. Polygon still has almost $2B TVL in Agglayer between the POS chain and Katana. It hasn’t been pretty but they’re still a top 10 chain by most metrics. Cardano and XRP are both actual ghost chains.

reeders_

Anytime someone shows up promising a guaranteed “100x,” especially to a whole church, it’s a huge red flag, even if the coin itself isn’t inherently a scam. XRP isn’t the worst asset out there, but it’s still crypto and comes with all the usual volatility and risk. And if your grandma already has a wallet, something else to think about is [XRP custody](http://www.digitalwealthpartners.net), who actually controls the keys, how secure it is, and whether someone’s trying to “help” her manage it.

Inprisonatm

Monero (XMR), the chart doesn’t lie. Every time the market dips it’s one of the best performing assets. It is a real cryptocurrency and does everything Bitcoin set out to do. Every body talks about XRP and the future of finance and where DLT is taking the world of fintech but people forget how important illicit funds are and the value of the drugs market is in the global economy. In the future and in a cashless society, where every transaction is on the blockchain and traceable privacy coins will be in high demand.

Tiny_Kangaroo

Only Bitcoin. XRP might still be listed but will be $0.001.

MaximumStudent1839

Link token has the most confusing narratives among the top 10 OG coins. It feels like an ultimate midcurve trap. On the one hand, its valuation is entirely propped up by memetic valuation, and nearly no holder has any clue whether the system can sustain itself without ChainLink Labs constantly dumping new tokens onto the market. On the other hand, Link marines are extremely hostile and condescending towards other crypto native assets propped up by memetic valuation. They want to argue that the future of crypto value rests on institutional adoption of RWA and blockchain, aka token value rests entirely on traditional financial metrics. It is like they want to argue for a future in which the Link token's price goes to zero. Even XRP holders aren't that dumb - see how they are pivoting in shilling "XRP as money".

The article shares some interesting points, but it focuses mostly on price and hype. It doesn’t really cover how XRP’s growth relies on upcoming regulations and clarity for banks, and its real world utility, versus being solely a speculative driven coin.

tldr; XRP and Bitcoin present significant investment opportunities this year. XRP aims to recover losses through ETF launches and strategic acquisitions, while Bitcoin could potentially reach $100,000 due to short liquidations. XRP has seen inflows with its ETF launch and holds above key support levels, with analysts predicting resistance levels and potential gains. Bitcoin's resistance levels are closely monitored, with analysts optimistic about its rise to $100,000 driven by liquidation dynamics and market trends. *This summary is auto generated by a bot and not meant to replace reading the original article.

**Educational** These programmatic unlocks have been happening monthly since 2017. Ripple's original escrow plan involved 55 monthly releases of 1 billion XRP each, and we've now reached the end of that schedule. It's worth noting that Ripple typically returns most of the unlocked XRP back to escrow. Of the monthly billion unlocked, they usually only keep 200-300 million for operational costs, partnerships, and ecosystem development, returning the rest to escrow. The impact on price has historically been minimal because: 1. The market anticipates these unlocks 2. Most tokens go right back into escrow 3. Ripple has committed to

**Educational** XRP is often misunderstood in the crypto space. It's a digital asset created by Ripple Labs that aims to facilitate fast, low-cost international money transfers through the RippleNet payment network. Key things to know about XRP: - It's not mined like Bitcoin; all 100 billion XRP were pre-created - Transactions settle in 3-5 seconds with minimal fees - It's been entangled in an SEC lawsuit since December 2020, alleging it was an unregistered security - In July 2023, XRP received a partial win when a judge ruled its programmatic sales on exchanges weren't securities offerings

tldr; Bitcoin has recovered over $10,000 since hitting a seven-month low of $81,000 last week, climbing to over $92,000. The cryptocurrency market cap has also rebounded by more than $300 billion, reaching $3.23 trillion. Despite this recovery, historical trends suggest December could be bearish for Bitcoin and the broader crypto market. Bitcoin's dominance remains strong at 57.1%, though some altcoins like XRP and AVAX have outperformed it recently.

Crack it. XRP are the new bitcoin.

thelawenforcer

'strategic liquidity management' would be 2 sided. they aren't doing XRP+USD liquidity provision - its all XRP. Ofcourse Ripple sells hype, its what all blockchains do... what else would you call their marketing about how its going to replace swift and be at the centre of international banking infrastructure? anyway, theres no point in continuing. i wish you good luck with your holdings.

FrankSlipHelp

>On 1 side you sell hype, Ripple sells hype? Hype about XRP? Link to some examples? >they liquidate a certain percentage of what ripple gives them OTC and hand the cash to ripple. Nothing wrong with this, absolutely nothing wrong with strategically managing liquidity on the network their enterprise software relies on. >They’ve convinced you that it’s actually a good thing that they are dumping on you. Show some numbers, do the math, you say they’re dumping, show me what the % of monthly escrow sold is compared to daily and monthly trading volume. Show me the dump, show the orderbooks having buy/sell pressure due to this ‘dump’. You are repeating what you have heard, do the math you’ll see the error in this regurgitated belief you spread.

BTC will consistently take less and less of the market each cycle now. Its only value is its speculative aspect with less and less usage against other crypto and is much less developed to counter quantum attacks. Its progress is halted and that’s that. XRP, ETH and possible projects like PolkaDot or Solana will make much greater gains over the next ten years, with less chance of bankrupting you. The big whales have already dumped BTC and there’s no guarantee that’s what they’ll come back to, especially when it costs exponentially more and more to pump it.

wintomato

It depends on your risk appetite. I don’t think Bitcoin will grow faster than XRP or ADA — they tend to follow a similar growth pattern. However, every market downturn brings new opportunities. New tokens enter the market with interesting features and strong potential. You can consider allocating a portion of your portfolio to these emerging projects.

gametimebrizzle

XRP has real utility, ISO 20022 was just adopted, which is the swift messaging protocol...that happens to be "crypto friendly" Solana is significantly faster with respect to transactions per second. Solana TPS real-world is approx 2,500 - 3,500 TPS, theoretical 36,000 TPS. Eth TPS is like 35 TPS and relies on layer two rollups to facilitate higher TPS.

>My source is their own ledger: They unlock1b tokens a …….. No, I meant what is your source that what is relocked is what people won’t buy, where is your source for that claim? That what is relocked is ‘what nobody will buy’? It’s BS >You’re buying from a whale who pre mined 80% of the total tokens. If you don’t see my point you never will. Ripple did not premine XRP, XRP was minted nearly 2 years before Chris Larsen came around and started up Ripple Labs. Ripple has never distributed XRP, I have never bought a coin from Ripple, neither have you, Ripple does not sell to you or I, they do not sell to retail. >It’s decentralized but they can move 50m coins OTC?? Have no price action on the ledger and it doesn’t exist. If it wasn’t decentralized they would need permission to move 50m coins, but since it is a decentralized network and there is no central authority over the network and XRP, yes anyone can move coins OTC, but the coins exist, but no price action exists because that movement was never on an orderbook, never on an exchange, I could send you 1 million coins to your wallet, it wouldn’t affect price. >Do you even hear yourself. Like cmon bro. You’re protecting a whale of a company for no reason Protect them from what? Why would I be against Ripple? They were gifted their XRP in exchange for a commitment to develop and foster growth on the XRPL, Ripple didn’t sell XRP to fund it’s startup, they had angel investors and venture capital investment rounds, Google invested in Ripple’s startup, so did Andreessen-Horowitz, and many other very smart money people, if they bet big on Ripple do you think I am not going to notice and follow their lead?? Or I should listen to you tell me I am protecting a whale. Come on man….. don’t YOU see? >while I get freshly minted BTC from clean energy. Unless you are mining yourself with 100% renewable free energy and have minted a single coin for yourself, this is not reality, the closest you could ever get to this fantasy of yours is if the coins you had were minted in Georgia where the whole country’s electrical grid is hydro. >You’re better off mining BTC than buying XRP. But you’ll never see it that way. I first mined BTC nearly 13 years ago, I have seen much, BTC used to be like the change in your car’s center console, I now hold zero BTC, BCH yes and still buy, but no more BTC for me. >Pre mined coins minted from thin air, that you’re buying at 20000000% increase from a company lol. That’s what you choose. I am not buying XRP from Ripple, again they don’t sell to retail and Ripple does not set the price, the market does. >When I buy BTC, I buy from miners, who used energy to get rewarded. No, you are buying sats that were mined and sold to an exchange >My money is being dispersed amongst millions of node validators. No, your money is going to the exchanges >And I also hold ETH, the ETH foundation 100% tells you when, how much, and who is buying the ETH. Hard stop right there. The naivety of complaining about pre-mined when you support a coin that came from an ICO, a coin whose value came from an initial release, a foundation that was funded by bad actors on the world stage, that’s some fraud right there. Go and support the Ethereum Foundation, I don’t, why would I support the chain whose very beginning has deep close ties to foreign adversaries of the USA, why would I support the Ethereum Foundation whose leader flew to North Korea and met with their leaders to help them bypass US sanctions by using ETH, and when he flew back and touched American soil he was charged, he was convicted in court and he was sent to prison, why would I support that? Why would I support an ICO dreamed up by Steven Nerayoff? @TheBoringSleuth has uncovered onchain exactly who and what was behind Ethereum’s first wallets, no thanks. >Also did you notice that they didn’t drop $2b worth of liquidity onto the market during 1 month? All year the foundation has maybe sold ETH for $100m Ok, and why would they? Ethereum is not a chain used for remittance and ETH is not a bridge currency, it would make zero sense for them to do that, but what you don’t understand obviously is why a remittance chain and it’s native bridge currency would do that, you do not understand the deep pools of liquidity needed for a remittance chain. >Ripple sells 200k+ coins a month valued at $2 each. Forcing $2b of liquidity onto bag holders when they unlock 1b XRP a month. Onto bagholders? Do you even understand what 200k coins represents on the daily volume chart for XRP? Dude, you don’t, because if you did you’d scratch your head wondering why you thought it was ‘so much’ liquidity ‘dumped’, it’s not, plain and simple, and that 200k is nothing compared to the daily volume even if the monthly escrow release hits the market all on the same day, BUT IT DOESN’T…… because Ripple does not sell to retail, Ripple does not programmatically sell to exchanges, the onchain numbers don’t lie, your assumptions are regurgitated words you don’t understand because if you did you would see through them. Respectfully, your arguments are moot, understand the framework and it will make sense to you why what you are saying is foolhardy. >Ripple is scummy for not disclosing any transaction compared to other foundations. My dude, they release a quarterly XRP report with all these numbers, they have been doing this going on 8 years. You don’t know what you don’t know.

XRP Is A Scam, every month 1 BILLION with B, Coin unlock every month. its just Dev exit liquidity

Supaflyray

1 quick google search shows you ripple locks up any coin that isn’t bought back into escrow lol. You’re buying from a whale who pre mined 80% of the total tokens. If you don’t see my point you never will. Energy is free, the sun provides it. Just because humans haven’t figured out a way to harness it doesn’t mean”energy” is bad when a coin is transacted. Traditional banking methods will always use energy. If you’re buying XRP because it’s energyless than that’s just bad practice. It’s decentralized but they can move 50m coins OTC?? Have no price action on the ledger and it doesn’t exist. Do you even hear yourself. Like cmon bro. You’re protecting a whale of a company for no reason

Nobody is banging the door down to buy XRP. Please share your source on where you are getting this information. >Tell me why I can’t find any price action of when the ripple foundation sold 50M coins to Evernorth to “found their business.” The reason why is because there is NO buy/sell pressure when coins are moved OTC, the 50M never hit exchanges, never hit an orderbook, there is zero mechanism for price action to happen. >Can’t find average price of what ripple foundation holds XRP at, can’t find any price of what they sell the XRP they hold to exchanges too. But meanwhile you’re buying XRP at market price, holding their bags that they premined. Ripple is a private company so of course that info is private, same as you won’t find any info on the coins I hold. >100% of the supply was premined, minted out of thin air. And yall are buying it from these foundations and corporations at $2 a coin because of “ a ledger “ 😂 Yes, yes we are, but it is not just because of “a ledger”, and yes, buying this premined coin has been very rewarding to myself and others, I don’t need a coin to come from energy use to make money with, why do you?

Everything you just said are true about pump fun coins as well. What don’t you understand that all 100B tokens were pre mined, and 1 “company” holds 42B of those tokens, and releases 1b token every month. And then locks up what nobody will buy LOL. Every month they’re forcing listing into the market, until it fails. Eventually no one will be buying the XRP they release, because WHY WOULD THEY. There’s zero incentive to buy and hold XRP.

FrankSlipHelp

Ripple did not premine XRP, Ripple was formed almost two years after the 3 devs of OpenCoin created the XRPL and XNS (XRP used to be tickered as XNS). Ownership of XRP in any amount does not grant governance over the XRPL, ownership of XRP in any amount does not make the XRPL centralized. The XRP Ledger is open-source and decentralized.

Supaflyray

1 single entity holding 42% of the total supply, releasing 1% of the total supply , and then relocking them up to then sell again. They’re the ultimate whale. Every month they sell their bags, that they premined. That’s not decentralized at all compared to POW or POS systems. Imagine if satoshi’s wallet woke up and started releasing 1% of the total supply of BTC every month. That’s the reality of what’s going on with XRP

I think everything you mentioned aside from maybe XRP has potential. And XRP may, I just don't personally trust them. RWA is no doubt going to be a thing, it's just going to take time. BTC, ETH, and LINK have been and currently are 90% of my crypto portfolio. They are not for sale. I bought XRP and SOL at the right time so I'm still up hundreds of % at current prices but, they are for sale at the right price. SOL is not ETH.

thelawenforcer

i despise this aspect of crypto that is so shamelessly extractive, and ripple have been at it longest. Ripple equity is worth very little compared to the valuations of the tokens, and the little value it does have is based on the fact that Ripple hold and sell a ton of XRP. all these revenue channels you mention basically don't exist other than in Ripple marketing. what they actually do is sell and loan their tokens out - thus making cash from sales and collecting interest revenue from market makers. they've also been using the cash they've generated from selling to cult members to acquire other traditional businesses. as for whether anyone uses XRPL - it has 72m in TVL, with 6m in daily DEX volume. Its a literal ghost town, but somehow this ecosystem has an FDV of 200bn. and you're right, calling you a pleb was harsh, im sorry - but ultimately i think that Ripple prays on people that often cant know better. while token holders might be happy that the token has performed relatively well, this just makes the whole crypto industry look stupid and not credible.

JamestotheJam

Why would you buy/hold XRP, hoping for a decent return, and totally ignored something that was a much better return on investment? XRP is fueled by hopium (=meager returns), and quantum is fueled by breakthrough innovation in computing (=major returns). It's not hindsight. It's reality. XRP has been around for so long, yet no bank has even adopted it yet.

JamestotheJam

My point is, if something was all THAT great, it wouldn't take MORE THAN A DECADE to notice! And ZERO banks have adopted XRP to date. ZERO. Let that settle in.

AryanPachhai

Yeah, XRP has these stretches where the narrative heats up, everyone expects a breakout… and then it just kind of fizzles. Happens to pretty much every chain at some point, but with XRP it feels extra amplified because the community is huge and expectations stay sky-high. In my experience, it helps to zoom out and treat XRP as a slow burner rather than a momentum play. Most of the big moves in crypto recently have come from chains with active DeFi, memes, or high-speed ecosystems — XRP just isn’t built for that kind of trading cycle yet. Doesn’t mean it’s dead, just that the payoff pattern is different. If you ever hop between ecosystems when the momentum shifts, aggregators like Rubic have made that a lot easier for me — fast, no-KYC swaps and a ton of liquidity sources across 100+ chains . There’s also Rubic if you want user experiences. Totally feel the frustration though. Are you holding long-term or just tired of waiting for a move?

Saibot281

That was spot on. Finally someone sees and knows more that what is projected by bullshit journalists that have no idea.  The whole acquisition of insitutions and the partnerships with the biggest companies in the world alone, shows what is actually happening in the background. Why would Brad spend so much of Ripple's money for something he doesn't believe will succeed?  The guy arguing with you just proved your point with his last reply, he had nothing more to say because he realised he didn't know as much as he stated he did after reading your comment 😅  Brad is a genius and XRP is his holy grail and life project. Even David Schwartz explained that it is more useful at a higher price. Everyone will see it all play out as time goes on 👌

Managing XRP liquidity and circulation is the reason a coin with 100B pre-mined has been ranked top 5 by marketcap for years. Ripple did not buy Keyrock, they were part of a series b funding round, they invested in Keyrock and that makes sense since Keyrock provides two-sided markets, they buy and sells assets and supply liquidity to exchanges, this is not just sell side liquidity.

Ripple doesn’t sell to retail, their sales are OTC and off exchanges and not on any orderbooks creating buy/ sell pressure. Like it? Yeah I do, liquidity is the King of all markets and as a steward of the XRPL, you know the whole reason they were given XRP by the devs was for Ripple’s commitment to develop the XRPL, foster growth and be a good steward. They don’t own the XRPL, they can’t control the XRPL, but yes, injecting liquidity to ensure deep pools over the course of them scaling, yeah man go Ripple. Aside from that, can I ask a question? Why the ‘plebs like you’ rhetoric. ? you know me? you angry about something?

Everyone and their mother on twitter is regurgitating this nonsense. You will end up being exit liquidity if you don’t snap out of it. The total market cap made new all time highs at $4.2 trillion. XRP made new all time highs in 7 years. Is this bear market behaviour? It’s called diminishing returns. We pump less each cycle.

Whoever downvoted - is it not true? In more than a decade that XRP has been around, not a single bank in the world has fully adopted it. Seriously - get real!

😂😂😂 all crypto was a great buy if you got in earlier days. My point is XRP ribs periodic “fantasies” that get pushed to mislead people into buying. SWIFT, USD Coin, etc. It’s always influencers and articles from questionable places claiming inside info and it’s always exaggerations, lies or it’s Ripple that benefits. Great you bought early and in the green, but for new people to buy in reading fantasy articles it’s only going to end in disappointment.

That's all good and dandy, until you hear that SWIFT is going to roll over and be stepped on and die like XRP Andy's so desperately want to believe like morons. Just recently SWIFT have chosen Linea L2 from Eth and not RippleNet... That in returns, concerns the biggest banks in a lot of countries like JPMorgan, BNP Paribas and 30+ major banks out there. Ripple are left behind in reality. Cool to have some pipe dream, but putting it into practice and showing action is a whole another story that we aren't seeing...

Ownership of XRP regardless of amount does not grant any governance over the XRPL and the amount of XRP owned by Ripple is comforting to me knowing the XRPL has a steward like Ripple that strategically injects liquidity into the network, a steward that has 1,200+ employees in 15 offices on 5 continents in 8 countries, a steward who has a sitting board member whose name and signature is on every $1, ,$5, $10, $20, $50 and $100 bill in your wallet or purse right now. I sleep good at night.

I am not surprised XRP kiddos also believe in Santa.

Ripple is a for-profit centralized company. The XRPL is open-source and decentralized. XRP is the native asset of the XRPL. Ownership of XRP, regardless of amount owned, does not give governance or control over the XRPL.

That's how Ripple makes money. Selling XRP

MrMathieus

I bought in early 2017 at 9 cents per XRP. Held for more than 7 years and sold a bunch at prices ranging from $2.90 to $3.40. How is not good to buy and hold again?

Leave XRP alone 🤣🤣🤣

bin-noddin

I am of the ...they truck BTC off in Congress and go XRP having distracted us the whole time whilst making billions....

libretumente

Dude please read up on tokenomics. There are few projects that dont engage in centralized, deceptive practices just like XRP.  Premines are bad. Centralization in crypto is bad. Full stop.

Uhhh ok “effectively wrong”. Yet again the XRP bot army NEVER fails to lie, or surprise me. Here ya go “Mr. Definitely effectively wrong”: https://dailycoin.com/ripples-largest-xrp-sell-off-in-7-years-shakes-market/ Or the latest news: https://finance.yahoo.com/news/ripple-unlock-1-billion-xrp-211452918.html They are selling 200-300 MILLION XRP a MONTH!!!!!!! Good luck buddy, I fucked with XRP in 2017 till I learned their shenanigans at the end of that run. But…as always DO YOUR OWN RESEARCH!!! LOL 😂😭

Such a uninformed dogshit post every month crazy. They have been doing this since 2017 or longer. If you had 2 braincells and could do 5th grade math you would know that 2018 - 2025 are 96 months. If they sold 1 billion every month they wouldve already run out as in 2018 the circulating supply was around 30 billion XRP.

tldr; Bitcoin's price surged above $90,000 on Wednesday, recovering from a recent dip that saw it fall to nearly $81,000. This rebound follows a challenging period for cryptocurrencies, with Bitcoin still 29% below its October record of $126,080. Analysts attribute the earlier decline to reduced institutional interest, uncertain Federal Reserve policies, and waning liquidity. Other cryptocurrencies like Ethereum, Solana, XRP, and Dogecoin also saw gains. The market's performance remains uncertain as the year progresses. *This summary is auto generated by a bot and not meant to replace reading the original article. As always, DYOR.

XRP is one of the best performing coins this bullrun. Your FUD doesnt work here

BaluDaBare

Oh for sure! I’m done adding to my XRP. Moved onto other things.

bigassbunny

I'm not saying you're wrong, and I'm not trying to glaze XRP, but you're one of a dozen comments here saying there are other better coins out there, but saying what, not providing any names or numbers supporting that argument.

generationhex

Do you put any thought whatsoever into macro conditions looking like they are falling off a cliff? What world will anyone value the utility (LOL) in alts when they don't have a job and are living off of gig pay or unemployment? Will Wegmans accept your XRP for a two liter and ciggies? FOH with this value talk. The world is literally burning and all you weirdos can ever sweat is the next alt szn.

JamestotheJam

If it was so great, most banks would be using it by now. There's a reason they're not. XRP has been around for more than a decade!

notmyrralname

i mean...you COULD do the smallest amount of google searching to see how fantastically wrong you are. But, you wont. so...Here you go. \*Ripple is required to report all sales of XRP by law\* [https://www.theblock.co/data/crypto-markets/public-companies/net-xrp-sales-by-ripple-quarterly](https://www.theblock.co/data/crypto-markets/public-companies/net-xrp-sales-by-ripple-quarterly)
