Hi whats happend with ripple?
The volume is 200.000 this days..

A while ago it was 2.000.000
Anyone know why?

ya its a scam coin, get people to buy something which is worthless as a storage of value.

Maybe because it is premined, centralized, permissioned, and therefore pretty useless for the average user as it will have no real advantage for him.Remember Ripple is no real crypto currency.

Price has been just plumetting https://www.coingecko.com/en/coins/ripple

The question you should be asking yourself is, why the hell isn't the linden dollar listed on these marketcap sites.

They list non crypto like ripple and stellar


Why not the linden dollar?

Why not mickey mouse dollars?

Why not ithica hours?


Why not facebook credits?

If you the crypto users want a change ask for it. Either they list all private currencies or none. It should be that simple.


Here's your list of private currencies, look it includes ripple, does anyone need anymore proof that ripple is a private currency.

People realized that Ripple is not a real cryptocurrency. it is not decentralized and fully controlled by one company.

IIRC, There was a major pump and dump for ripple.

i'm not even...
<shaking my head>

Search for Spoetnik + Ripple
yeah i know FUD right ?  ::)

They were always a scam, stick with decentralization.

What made them a scam?  Just wondering...

Heard they took big fines from the US feds...

use keywords "Ripple + Scam"

Yup I'm new.  What made them a scam?  Because all I see are mostly mudslinging.

sorry man i can't be bothered.. think what ya want.

its always fun when Spoetnik appear in threads.
I'm also wondering what makes them scam as they've been here for years already, they probably do pump and dump but then everyone do it.

If people think the coin is scam, they can always dump it.

Ripple is not only a centralized system it is also a registered company which has to provide all user and transaction data and information to authorities.

Start by reading the topics that were created before you all showed up..
You will get a far more accurate view of the picture.
Than noobs guessing..

Do your homework.. use the search button.

It is not exactly THAT hard to research...

Lesser people are interesting in buying an altcoin with so much supply. You can see that Ripple rarely increases in price due to the large supply flooding the market. They are looking for other coins instead.

From 30th of October it`s mandatory to get verified on Ripple in order to trade. There may be many accounts that are still waiting to pass the verification. It may be the reason of the decline of Ripple trades. 

The rippletrade wallet hasn't worked properly for months, it freezes for long periods on even high end computers. The XRPtalk forum has been shut down by the administrator because most people had lost interest. He's left it online in read only mode for a few months, then he's switching it off. Ripplelabs wouldn't pay him anything to help run it so what do they expect.

Without that forum to generate interest the old fanboys are selling up and forgetting about ripple. Ripplelabs shot itself in the foot.

I suspect the finCEN fine and the KYC requirements to use rippletrade have been a significant turn off for both ripple labs and end users.  Their end goal always seemed to be adoption by major banks or financial institutions and from the outside looking in it appears they have decided they can just make their own coin instead of using XRP for these purposes. 

I thought they were going to be teaming up with bank or something last i heard.

What happens with Ripple stays with Ripple.. shhh ....don't ask questions !

..just buy more cheap coins NOM NOM NOM To Da Moon!111 Train!!!!111 LAMB00000000'Z
