XRP

No-Introduction-6368

The toilet? XRP benefits the most from CBDCs and they aren't happening. Nigeria's CBDC failed miserably and it's not the future.

NoTimeToSleep

Let's say Ripple has a market order to sell all it's XRP. What happens?

Who’s the largest holder of XRP?

Redditmau5

Gotcha so if you want to get technical XRP didn’t exist until 2012. XNS was before the company. So Ripple created XRP. Because being technically correct is the best kind of correct, right?

ItWillPrint

Not at all. They bought at 30k. It’s more than tripled since their purchase… and they sold portions too. Their buy was also tiny. No one followed them institutions wise. Are you correct was there “hype”? Sure. But I’m referring to company’s spending BILLIONS on repeated buys. That’s what you’re seeing right now. Completely different than a single electric car company buying some in 2021. They’re recommending clients buy 2-5% of their wealth dude. What I’m getting at is your idea of “institutions buying” and mine are completely different. Also, retail interest right now is at an all time low and we are sitting 4% from all time highs. This is not the norm at all. Even Ripple CEO is saying there will be a Bitcoin reserve and it *maybe* *hopefully* will include XRP. The foundation of this bull run is astronomically different than any other.

GreenStretch

In 2017 it was at the end of the year. In 2021 there were two peaks, May and November. If we repeat the pattern we haven't gotten there yet. Comparing to the same point four years ago, BTC, ETH, XRP and others are up, DOT and a number of others are down. Some are incredibly close to the same price.

[Bitcoin maxis have been spewing FUD about XRP since 2013, because they are afraid.](https://pbs.twimg.com/media/GiGWSfbWoAAA_1G?format=jpg&name=medium) It's just another day for them.

XRP was created to improve on Bitcoin’s inefficiencies, like slow transactions and high energy use, but it wasn’t made by Bitcoin developers. It was designed by a separate team (McCaleb, Britto, and Schwartz) to focus on fast, low-cost payments, particularly for banks.

Redditmau5

XRP. That’s that one coin that was made by those 3 dudes in their basement that was originally called XNS. I heard they formed a company with one other dude called Newcoin. No wait they just changed it to Opencoin. Damn they spent all that money to buy Ripplepay, I know they can atleast use the name Ripple Labs…..but they don’t have any labs. Fine remove it and just call it Ripple. This company changes their name faster than their tps. Let’s just future proof this post and go to their final Super Saiyan form “NewOpenRipple BasementPay the 3rd”. Good thing they’re not an inconsistent “company”. Which by the way XRP community hates that you call them a company and not 3 dudes in their basement because…reasons.

EvilBeanz59

🤣 isn't XRP like a "bank coin"? Some of the biggest pedos are bankers and big elitist going to Epsteins island. 🤣

XRP_SPARTAN

Heard the same shit in 2021. When things get forthy, smaller caps will pump. Basic market behaviour. If Bitcoin dominance topped in november at 61%, then that means we are already in an alt season. Look at what coins like XRP have done. This is just a temporary pause before a broad rally occurs in the altcoin market. RemindMe! 2 months

Rory_1354

Yeah some are doing well no doubt about it.... Wish I was holding HBAR and XRP!! Hopefully we get a full on Alt season but just can't see QE returning without a major concern in the general markets which will crash alts in any case

Material_Table9465

XRP has a really nice looking bullish pennant forming, shame you haven't got any. There's still time to stop moaning about it and buy some.

Cagger101

The coin itself is decentralized. The "shares" are a an escrow account that has regular controlled releases of XRP and deposits of anything unused. They provide full reporting/transparency on this escrow account. This is used for the health of the network. This isn't Ripple's personal piggy bank.

mrpotatonutz

XRP is trash

Serkenta

Because XRP is no better than fiat…

Bobby--Bottleservice

Don’t ask that here. This sub hates XRP

Outside_Instance4391

Btc is a china mined shitcoin who rewards locked up pedo's when they get out... its also decrepid, slow, expensive and uses way too much electricity just to send useless dust around for crackheads to get high... Atleast if you buy XRP your not funding some convicted pedo's retirement fund

Adorable_Half_9194

XRP is literal garbage. It lost any momentum it had when the SEC came after them, and now they may recover but it will be many years.

Ordinary-Kale-4278

Well I have studied both and XRP can handle more volumes not only due to tps. It lies in the design for both the design for solana is more complex, it has frequent outages( about 10 just in 2022 alone) due to high volume. XRP is purpose build for transactions and is able to ensure close to 100% uptime during high volume like we saw with the trump coin. I’m not really clear on the point your trying to make here genuinely. If you look at how both XRP and solana work, you would see that. Also a law was just passed that makes it so central banks cannot make their own crypto if I’m not mistaken. I think it is you that need to read up on XRP before you make claims like this. It’s not just my opinion the XRP can handle more buying and selling in a short period of time it’s a fact.

OGPaterdami_anus

I feel like XRP is being targeted for no reason really. Why cant y'all appreciate a crypto wide asset range as a reserve? Why do you guys want a BTC only reserve? Bags to all is better than some no?

Ornery_Abies_3563

XRP is good but still this ain't a good idea.

hieronymus_bossk7

XRP just spent two years digging itself out of its grace and now Ripples is sending it back to the nether world by going to war with bitcoin.

One_Horse4292

I know I’m the only one that can see the future and if you done have XRP you gonna stay broke

Everest2017

I would say that it should be obvious for everyone that XRP must not be included in strategic reserve.

iamjide91

ETH and SOL are good bets. But if corporations aren't afraid to buy at these prices, over $100K, then why should you? 🤔 If you are not comfortable with these levels, then wait for the next bear market. In the meantime, just invest in stables, stake them, get yields. There are several alternatives which are less risky, while you are waiting for better prices. Personally, XRP, ADA, SOL, & AIOZ surprised me the most. I'm glad I accumulated them at low prices.

jagaloonz

I'm not really interested in Bitcoin at all, but I'm even less interested in Ripple/XRP.

idigholes

Dude XRP is actually a really cheap and fast method of transferring funds.

Cardano and XRP - at least XRP has some validity to their claims.

Due-Candy-8929

Alt season isn’t over yet - just getting to the exciting part of it… ETH is set to go soon, XRP as well… expecting big things across SOL XLM HBAR LINK SUI ALGO ADA FLR… expecting volatility, price discovery and some new all time highs 🙌🏼✨

Man, ever since XRP got that rally, people have really been taking the focus off HEX as the biggest scam

Bull pennant on XRP 4H chart looks like it wants to break very soon, immediate technical target is around $4.20 or 35% ish.

Shorting XRP

Lemon_Club

I wanna say something around 40 to 50 percent. The majority is on the open market. I would say for the goals of XRPs adoption, this strategy makes perfect sense and that Ripple has distributed XRP in the most ethical way possible considering where they started from.

ShittingOutPosts

To start, pre-mining allows and encourages a centralization of wealth and power/influence, creates a perceived lack of fairness, increases the risk of scamming, and disincentives decentralized participation. How much XRP does Ripple and their founders currently hold?

BlazingJava

XRP bots on force to downvote this posts XD

EirianWare

I agree not all shitcoins are equal, but XRP is few step ahead

transatoshi_mw

I made up for my losses in 2021 by shorting in 2022, I should think about placing some positions soon. Eyeing XRP/XLM and BTC for a hard correction

ShittingOutPosts

Because they have XRP bags they want to pump. They’ll never understand why Bitcoin is so important. They’ve fallen for the noise.

ardevd

XRP can surely perform well in terms of price. I don’t really care. I just argue that XRP is not a Bitcoin competitor. While there has been progress in clarifying XRP’s legal status, it has not been definitively deemed a commodity in the same manner as Bitcoin. The distinction largely hinges on factors such as decentralization and the nature of transactions. Ongoing legal challenges and potential regulatory changes may further influence XRP’s classification in the future.

coachhunter2

It was shown in the SEC vs Ripple case that Coinbase will list projects if (and only if) they pay them hundreds of thousands/ millions of dollars. Someone at Ripple described it as like blackmail. They have listed shitcoins, obvious scams, and projects with Nazi logos. Oh and they delisted XRP as soon as possible, and despite now claiming they ‘stand with crypto’ and oppose the SEC, gave not a shred of support to XRP in the Ripple lawsuit until it was 2 years in.

ardevd

I’m sorry, but Ripple developed the XRP ledger and holds a substantial portion of tokens (in escrow) and is the primary maintainer and contributor to the code base. They sell tokens to finance their marketing efforts, including their hit pieces on other blockchain ecosystems. Bitcoin has no CEO, no marketing team, no foundation and that’s also why it’s deemed a commodity.

Medical_Weekend_749

"Ripple Labs, the creator of the XRP token, is reported to hold the largest share of the token’s supply, [amounting](https://www.binance.com/en/square/post/17382029263258) to 46 billion XRP. Also, Chris Larsen, the co-founder of Ripple Labs, [reportedly](https://coincodex.com/article/22227/xrp-rich-list/) holds 5 billion XRP. Major cryptocurrency exchanges also hold a substantial amount of XRP, with Binance [holding](https://cryptodnes.bg/en/xrps-top-holders-and-supply-distribution-revealed/?utm_source=chatgpt.com) 1.83 billion tokens."

Lemon_Club

I wouldn't see why. XRP is the 3rd biggest crypto by market cap and originated in the USA, no reason not to include it into a stockpile if it's not exclusively bitcoin.

Constant_Cap8389

I assure you, there are plenty of XRP minimalists/skeptics who are not Bitcoin maxis.

uncapchad

total cesspool. If you're new to crypto its totally useless as a source of information but how to break the chain of lies? Yesterday for e.g. trending was "proof" Satoshi endorsed XRP in 2009. But Opencoin (as XRP was known back then) was only launched in 2012 and renamed to XRP in 2015. It seems impossible to get any facts across because bots just drown out the soldiers valiantly trying to debunk this shit.

ardevd

Blockchains governed by an centralized entity is just a modernized version of central banking. I’m sorry, but it just is. Bitcoin is ruled to be a commodity, XRP is not. I don’t see how people struggle understanding the difference.

rew858

I don't know why BTC and XRP investors think these two coins are at odds. They serve completely different purposes. Both are great investments. What is this about?

benwoot

Oh look, another post trying to bash XRP. Good luck with that

sylsau

I didn't remove this question to give you some clarity. XRP is a Scam Coin. It's a category of its own, even worse than a Sh\*tcoin like $TRUMP. $TRUMP claims to be useless on its website. XRP wants to make people believe that it is useful. The flaws are major. Take for example the fact that the first 32,000 entries of the ledger are gone forever! Then take the fact that between 50 and 60% of all tokens are in the hands of the founders and the Ripple Labs company. This was a totally unfair pre-mine distribution. XRP is a totally centralized system as well. Ripple Labs executives are lobbying hard to fight against Bitcoin. This is not new and it continues today as Ripple Labs does everything to ensure that a Bitcoin reserve strategy is not created and that Trump opts instead for a Crypto Made In USA reserve strategy that would give pride of place to XRP ...

redditsucksbruder

Dogecoin is a better coin actually, but XRP will probably pump more because of normies.

Due-Candy-8929

Short answer : NO… ripple has spent 10 years networking and building connections… and they can actually do more transfers per second if needed… it just hasn't needed to scale up yet… XCN still has a ton of potential though - and could definitely still outperform XRP this cycle - smaller market caps can see bigger % gains…

Due-Candy-8929

A big part of the issue is the SEC doesn’t have clear guidelines and regulations at all - utility-based projects like XRP / ALGO / ADA / SOL / SUI / LINK all benefit from rules - it seems like they are looking towards different categorisations as well (memes / NFTS as collectibles) companies like tether have had a free pass, even though they can't pass an audit - SEC did nothing to stop FTX crash… XRP was ruled not a security by a federal judge, and this part of the case is not being challenged. Choke point II involved debunking projects related to crypto and trying to freeze them, or the case against Coinbase Better and clearer regulations mean governments/institutions/banks can buy in with better safeguards…. The US is woefully behind the rest of the world when it comes to digital payments and crypto regulations (look at MICA… Tether was delisted in Europe because it’s not up to code)… one of my friends who works high up in a vast US-based tech company was telling me when they visited that the pay system here in Australia is more advanced - banks in the Philippines are even working with HBAR to trial new technology (as it’s cheaper to do trial tests there than in the US)

SpectrumSense

Sometimes I split it, but I will full send it if I have full confidence that there is a bear run going on. That's how I made around $800 profit off of XRP during its bull run

Meikro303

And so many other beat XRP, so whats the point?

CaterpillarNo7848

XCN the new HBAR ADA #2 utility coin after XRP

ent4rent

XRP will outperform and surpass ethereum this year. It's better at all the shit you listed than eth is. Transaction times and cost alone 🙄 oh you need a later 2 to maybe get costs down? 🤣

Redditmau5

Yes it was created before the Ripple LLC by Ripple. We’ve established that. My main question is why does the XRP community hate that a company created their coin so much? Do you feel like it invalidates your coin? Does three guys in their basement really sound better to you? That makes the coin sound like scammy garbage.

Covetoast

My bad, that’s correct. The XRP ledger foundation just opened a new headquarters in Estonia.

babyshark75

"I feel like XRP.."

Due-Candy-8929

I wouldn't convert right now : ETH is looking set to Rip… ! (I'm not a big ETH holder… I have just been hearing good things from the sources I follow… some are XRP channels saying ETH has similar sentiment / capitulation to what XRP has before taking off in November - ETH typically goes big early on in alt season cycle 🤷🏻‍♀️ idk if it’s a better move to switch but I would want to base any move like that on solid research and not just emotion / FOMO 😅

Ok_Leadership4987

XRP is faster than BTC. That is correct, but they won't use BTC for transfers. XRP is extremely slow compared to Solana and Sui. That is why Meme coins are mainly built on Solana. Solana is also so much cheaper that it is crazy. No matter what metric you look at, there is a coin better than XRP. That is all that I am saying. I just don't understand why people like it so much when it is not the best, or even in the top 5 in any metric. Again, that is not my opinion, that is all on chain. That is the best thing about crypto, everything is tracked, so we don't have to guess.

Key-Muffin-8920

I disagree with the speed transferring from wallet to wallet literally takes time and the fees are variable on BTC compared to XRP, Banks want use XRP for the purpose of being able to do 1000 of transactions at once compared to BTC that’s can only handle a few hundred at a slow scale it’s all out there I am not throwing exact number I don’t feel like looking up article as for the non American part BTC has no founder yet we are possibly creating a strategic reserve for it, as for SOL yeah that definitely came out of no where

PhaedrusPollux

This bot is prime example of how XRP continues to survive. Sucks in despondent newcomers that feel they have missed the boat on BTC.

XRP is Now Recognized as Store of Value! "XRP, the native cryptocurrency of the XRP Ledger, has recently earned recognition as a “store of value” from two major digital asset firms—Grayscale and Artemis. This significant classification places XRP alongside other high-caliber cryptocurrencies, cementing its place in the digital asset landscape." XRP=Golden Opportunity of a Lifetime 💥🚀🚀🚀

Key-Muffin-8920

I have to disagree, the beauty about crypto is anyone can follow the money, compared to etherium which I believe is better than both BTC and XRP, XRP is cheap if you want to be even cheaper SOLANA which definitely has no use other than meme coins.BTC is extremely slow literally go ahead and do a transfer or any transaction it will not process for 15 to 20 mins. But your right it’s definitely a maybe with XRP I’m most likely leaving my funds as is

Icy_Business_8923

BTC is the safe play but far bigger potential gains with XRP.

Covetoast

Unless something changes, I doubt that XRP would be included as it is based out of Estonia.

Ok_Leadership4987

XRP is slow and does nothing. No one is building on it, no one is using it, it is expensive, it is centralized, and the technology is old. Everyone is HOPING institutions are going to use it, even though their are chains so much better. The only thing XRP has is an absolutely great community and a lot of money behind it. Other than that, it is garbage. With that being said, though, the community is great, so it might go up, but why would you sell a known winner for a maybe? Worst case scenario, hold both.

Key-Muffin-8920

Because XRP can handle 10x time more transactions than bitcoin can bitcoin price is based of supply and demand rather than utility like XRP You have black rock buying millions recently Bank of America and so many other The platform X is planning to create a payment platform with crypto between possibly doge or XRP there’s a lot of information out there Bitcoin is great for the purpose we all know how much bitcoin exist they can’t create more

Ok_Leadership4987

Why do you like XRP? I am praying this is not a real question?

CryptoNerdSmacker

XRP’s utility isn’t necessarily tied to buying and burning it but rather more of a gas and security backend for any transactions that happen on XRPL. For example, recently, Ripple Labs launched $RLUSD, their own stablecoin backed and pegged to $1. Any transaction with $RLUSD will take place on either ETH Mainnet or XRPL. If it’s taking place on XRPL, XRP is being burned on the backend while facilitating the transaction for a very minute fee.

icebergiman

The question you're really asking is "what's my risk appetite?" cuz if you want safe and long term just BTC will suffice. +1 risk : wait for bear +1 risk : add ETH, SOL & XRP +1 risk : add more top performing coins And so on...you get the idea Everyone will make mistakes, more often than not. Be warned and enjoy the ride!

Redditmau5

I know I just got into it with someone from a different XRP post because they didn’t wanna believe that the people who created XRP were the same people that created Ripple. Apparently because Chris Larsen wasn’t there during the inception of the coin.

kilo6ronen

And what lovely words do you have to share for XRP. Supreme centralized trash

Due-Candy-8929

The main reason is potential pro-crypto laws/policies and changes at the SEC… there are also a lot more pro-crypto governments elected (across both democrats and republicans) The SEC has already revoked SAB 121, which prevented banks from holding crypto. The fact that this is happening so fast shows plan and intent rather than promise. He also signed a bill looking to establish a digital strategic reserve (likely to include BTC XRP and other cryptos) and will soon have a pro-crypto Chair to replace Genslur Ps. I'm not a Trump fan… but I think he would be great for crypto because there is a ton of money in it… As for his other promises of bringing down prices, ending the war in a day, making Mexico pay for the wall, tariffs being a tax other countries pay, and even the fact ‘he will be too busy to play golf while in the white house’ then I am highly critical… I hate the way he campaigns so heavily on fear and has policies that greatly benefit billionaires over everyday Americans

Pristine_Car_6253

XRP was built for the banking sector to be able to hold and transfer funds easily. BTC was built to be fully decentralized and not controlled by a company. Both are different and have their own merits.
