Title: Why Ripple is #2 in market cap? Post by: Abiky on August 11, 2015, 07:03:50 PM How come Ripple's market cap is ranked as number 2? (according to Coinmarketcap) I have been told that Ripple is centralized, so why the hell it is #2? It surpassed Litecoin (considering that Litecoin is the oldest alt coin) Any thoughts on this? ???
Title: Re: Why Ripple is #2 in market cap? Post by: tspacepilot on August 11, 2015, 07:14:24 PM Well, the fact that it's centralized has a lot to do with its marketcap. Surely you can see how this works. Imagine if Amazon.com made an amazoncoin and backed it with millions of dollars. It wouldn't be hard for such a large company to get a coin to the top area of the marketcap chart because they've got a lot of money themselves. Do you see the connection?

If they wanted to sell off all of the coins the marketcap would drop to a few million or less. Title: Re: Why Ripple is #2 in market cap?
