Xrp is the only coin that hasn't increased in price this week?

If all coins go up together, so there is no specific news regarding one coin. It is increasing already from 0.2 to 0.25 and I think it will go up more

the actual truth about XRP is its manipulated
no one really want to see XRP rising, only banks
i dont see many reasons to invest in it, maybe a little amount.. but its not bringing something important to the crypto world
actually they can make more harm than good

I totally agree. Full height XRP was manipulative. The article went where it was revealed the scheme, as the founder of millions of transactions a day forward. WELL, in General, is not about that. The fact that the developers themselves admit, Yes technology is good, the problem is that there are tokens useless. For most operations they are not used. This is the problem that when a bunch of positive news, one Bank is starting to apply the technology then the other but the result does not change. if the growth is it will only manipulative.

i personely don't think that anyone should invest in the ripple for longer or shorter term. take your investment out from ripple and look for another promising ico or token to get some returns

It lag behind many coins, weird right? Though seen like XRP is itchy for some increase at the later point.

I had a lot of uptrends before the other coins started to go up. It will just need some time, before it will blow up with the other stuff :) There are always coins that will correct a little bit, even if the market situation is mostly bullish.

Actually XRP pumped from 20c to nearly 30c and now is roughly in between, perhaps you just missed it and are instead looking at a higher price as the 'starting point'. Nothing is wrong with XRP, it's a stable coin but may explode if they secure deals with big banks.

To me, holders are expecting more real action from ripple team. They are not used globally as a legit payment method and this made some old and bag holder investors sick. They want to evaluate other coins for their investments.

nothing wrong with XRP price,,
this crypto, if you want to make daily profit just become a daily trader,,
so, you can make money everyday, not only by holding few coins

Centralized nature of ripple kills the purpose of value making in limited supplies.
So its understandable to not see ripple pumps. Ripple isn't good investment at all.

Remember there are whale pods manipulating markets to shake you out. Set a big goal of how much you want to make.
XRP have great future but wait

I think it's fair to present these arguments to say that Ripple is manipulated, but isn't that the point of coins and projects like these? You have to understand, not every crypto and platform is like Bitcoin. Not all ideals are about the same as Bitcoin's freedom and control.

If you can like Ethereum and enjoy its benefits (stability because of centralization, direct intervention and manipulation, among others) then you shouldn't have a problem with Ripple. If banks really want it to succeed, won't you traders like it? Profit is only what most crypto guys here care about anyway.

Ripple has been increasing a lot during the last few months, it was less than five cents each one of them in february, i dont know why are you complaining because it did more than x5 since the beggining of this year.

Better to invest in other coins if you really want to have more return, ethereum is going up so fast, and ripple is still quiet, but it increased from $0,20 to $0,24 in 8 days, there is nothing bad with it.

And yes, ripple is controllated & is very manipulated by banks and economic organizations, that is why it is very risky to invest in there.

It doesn't worth much to be honest. It's digital money and Ripple don't sell XRP to banks but only the technology which people buying XRP are funding. Hence it's not a good investment.

Its a long term project, they are going to solve how the bank can make faster payment. Is not going to moon overnight for no reason

There are fundamentals that drive the price of tokens up, not just because some tokens are increasing then others to need to increase by default. No news has come up from the team lately that is why

It is a long term investment and it is rising slowly but I think it is not growing that fast since it is centralized by the banks so they will try to keep the price stable as long as they can.... A promising project, stable but also nothing for short term

Why are you all saying that it is not a good investment? maybe you all are just newbies and you just introduced yourselves on cryptos during this year.

If you are one of the Old School about cryptos, then you must know that ripple started being tradeable at $0,02, and it was listed on coinmarketcap last year below $0,0201 each one of them.

Now it made more than x13 in just a few months, and you all are saying that it is a dead project? what is wrong with you? You just want to see it going upto $2 each one of them in just a few days?

All of you are just sick for money at the moment.

Yes I agree ripple is centralized and also the amount of ripple is huge. They need ton of money in order to pump this coin

Ripple is probably one of the best altcoins that exist at the moment, is it the #5 on coinmarketcap, it just shows you how important ripple is.
And maybe it is being a little bit manipulated at the moment, but you should never forget about how much it increased during the last year, ripple is one of my favourites and i am still holding about five hundred dollars worth of ripple on my wallet.
I really believe in this coin, and 1 dollar per ripple is very easy to reach in some months from now, or maybe those 25 cents that it is worth now could be doubled by next year.

I think it is only the matter of time when it will go up.

The stability of XRP might be a bummer for your average trader, it is in fact the secret formula to its succes.  I wouldn't mind seeing it grow really slowly.  If it does get widespread adoption in the financial world, this could be a very sold investment.  I can imagine things go bananas once again (it always does... after a while) in bit- and altcoincountry while XRP holding its ground.

The availability vs total supply is only 39% which might be used to keep prices stable in the long run.

XRP is a centralised currency, which is fundamentally different from ordinary blockchain COINS. Other COINS have risen in price, so it is only a matter of time before the price of the XRP COINS rises.

Xrp have its price increase slowly during last week, the future of xrp still good. I think it price will be 0.3$ soon.

Ripple is centralized and works like a real money and it has the highest volume of coins.

Well, maybe their demands are not that high as you expect it to be because when you look at carefully most of the investors are not hyped in their concepts and objectives seems like only selected number of persons will benefit if the price of their coins rises. The people are now seeing the tricks upon their sleeves.

Seems so that things should turn around in 2018. But so far it has not being a good year for XRP considering the price movement wise. It is one of the coin which I was confident of its rise but just that it did not fulfilled my expectation of a coin which could turn the fortunes.

In my personal opinion, I don't think anyone should invest in Ripple for short and long term...If you have invested in Ripple ? Take your investment out from it and look for some other promising ICO to get some returns.

It was discussed so many times in this forum. XRP is not a usefull coin. There is not a direct connection between xrp and those banks that accept ripple. Some whales just use xrp to pump and dump that is all.

I wouldn't touch Ripple with a 10ft. pole.

See 10 days ago or so, announcement partnering with American Express...In crypto space, an announcement like this would make a 2x pump at least, considering XRP is still cheap...and it was just a ri-di-cu-lous P&D...

Why? Because nobody likes it, no community support...whenever a Pump comes, nobody hodls....

Ripple (XRP) is basically a very good coin and it's worth noting its potential. The reason that XRP has not been able to raise prices is because investors have bought at high prices and wait for prices to sell massively so XRP can not raise prices quickly.

I follow a lot of coins and XRP is the coin that has been making the most progress on it's development. They are literally making new bank deals weekly and just announced the partnership with American Express. They have been setting the standard on how a Fintech company should operate. Just from reading this thread there is an insane amount of misinformation that I simply have to wonder where they come up with this stuff. My favorite is XRP has no support and is dead. It's the number 4th crypto price wise and didn't magically get there. I feel xrp holders are the quiet majority and the few people that made some bad trades have nothing better to do then bash it all day while promoting whatever garbage coin they moved into next. XRP is here to stay like it or not and sooner or later the public will realize. Unfortunately most people will figure it out too late.

The issuers of XRP have a large number of coins to regulate the value in the market.
It can be confidently asserted that the cost of XRP is not market-based.
I would be careful not to invest money in such a coin.

I think the coins when there are big events or attract investors to the new penny pumb. About 1 week before the event, xpr increased from 0.2x to 0.5x.

Every coin has it's time to be in the spotlight. Doesn't matter which one, just wait for it.
Xrp has been in the spotlight already a couple of months ago but it might be there again soon enough

Were not talking about one off coins getting a pump. Were talking about the entire altcoin market all had massive gains around 50% for all other top coins. eth, etc, ltc, xmr, dash.....etc. Ripple did nothing in a very important period of alt growth. That to me is a major sign of weakness. We all know alts get some news pumps once in a while. That's not what this post is referring to.

It may be the case but in terms of an investment while it may not be the most profitable over the last months it has certainly not been a failure, there are many coins that have fallen in price which XRP has not done.

Once I bought into XRP without reading too much about it, as soon as I could sell out without any loss I did. why?? 1. centralized 2. banks who control fiat today will control XRP 3. too much of it to ever truly achieve value as other coins 4. it's just not worth it take a look around $BTC $ETH $LTC $VTC $DEEPONION + many other projects that are more then worth it, both my and your time and money :) :)

I bought alot of xrp. And hoping for a big pump. Just relax a little coz 2018 is a good year for alts. Buy more XRP and thank me later. Patience is the key of success when do trading goodluck

I agree with you mate. We will see a huge price increase in 2018 so just HODL and enjoy the ride :D

There were a lof good news about Ripple in past month and it was about time and XRP to join the mass pump.
But this is true just for the USD value. You should look at XRP satoshi value and this is what I;m waiting to rise.

There is nothing wrong with Ripple,

The main thing you need to remember, is that 1 billion new coins are put on the market each month by the Ripple corporation,

In essence this increases their market cap by 250m+ a month without their being a price rise of each coin.

Once all 100B coins are on the market, it may start to go up at a quicker rate, if adoption has been used by a number of larger banks.

Many news really happen for XRP and yet the price are still down, I bought mine at a higher level and now I cant afford to sell it at a loss. I believe that altcoins will pump next year specially XRP, just be more patient because cryptocurrency will continue to impress us.

XRP is moving slowly,
I like to keep it
and yes it is far higher then I bought it.

Love it,
nothing wrong

Too few exchanges trade it and I believe they have some issues with the tecnology. However if it works it will take over SWIFT transfers. I ve got some

XRP is a bit tricky to evaluate. The company is already having a huge network of various banks and many clients from big financial institutions who are interested in using their services to reduce costs. The price itself kinda depends on these partnerships and therefore doesn't really move much. You have to consider that it's a higher cap coin, which means pumping any value into it requires substantial amount of money invested. Back in the day XRP was making headlines by convincing various banks to use their services, last months I haven't heard much developments for XRP which makes me wonder myself where all these partnerships are ending up. Personally I'm not invested in it but I think it's a solid coin and you should consider adding it at your portfolio for some longer term returns.

Never liked it... it just doesn't really fit in with the whole philosophy of decentralization.

xrp is my worst investment yet
bought 1k a few months ago and they just won't move
I could have bought tether instead..

will they go up at some point?
