Is it possible to buy Ripple straight up? or is it only able to buy in a trade? using other currency to get Ripple? thanks

Yes, you can buy ripple in exchange but becareful with it, it's could be a profitable coin but you could lose much with it.

yes why not ripple have an stable place in the market price but i suggest with you need to go your own decision to play in the trading investment follow your strategy do not relay to other people for your investment always analyst before make a decision to avoid risk.

Cool.
I have Ripple and I am not planning to sell it.

Probably
I ll sell it if triple at least :)

And you can buy it almost anywhere even using paypal :)

They are cool

Here is the link to the official website: https://ripple.com/xrp/buy-xrp/
there you will find the list of the most reputable exchanges where you can buy it using the other crypto or loading your exchange account straight from your bank card.

There's not much of a P2P market if that's what you're getting at. There's no LocalBitcoins for XRP. There's a marketplace subforum for altcoins (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?board=161.0), but I did a quick search and didn't see anything of interest.

If you're trying to exchange USD (i.e. from your bank account), then the most reputable place to buy Ripple XRP is on Bitstamp. Keep in mind, you'll need to fully verify your identity to trade there. You can also deposit USD to Kraken to get XRP. Other options are Bitfinex, Poloniex and Bittrex, but you'll probably need to buy BTC first so you can send it there and trade on the XRP/BTC markets.

Personally I would recommend waiting for Ripple to drop in price again. But its upto you, take a look at its trend and also when the prices move (as its normally around media coverage). I would expect it to drop to 19c again in the near future.

I think you can only buy ripple inside exchange I'm not sure though but that's how I deal with  it, I bought mine inside polo  still hoping that it will reach 1$ a piece, I'm willing to wait and keep it inside my wallet, its an rollercoaster journey for this project and there's still big chances that this value will be achieved.

I fell that it would be better to buy ripples because I don't know why it comes under top Cryotocurrencies in the Ethereum app. This one thing makes me feel that ripple has a future. After that I was just searching on YouTube about Cryotocurrencies like basically underated Cryotocurrencies and o heard that doge coin I'd widely used in some part of the world. I don't remember exactly . If I recollect I'll just update this .

I think it's not worth to expect serious rises from Ripple in the near future. In the long term, Ripple is certainly a very promising asset. But for short-term and medium-term investments I would buy something else.

Not good to expect much from ripple since I bought ripple the price have been dumping

Other would argue that it is a good time to buy, sorry for your misfortune of buying at a higher price. 

There is really not much of a P2P market for most altcoins for now anyway and the best shot is just what you have stated. Most altcoins these days can only be gotten either directly from some of the altcoins website, or straight up from exchange.

Exchanges are the best and I have always made use of bittrex in getting some of my altcoins and storing them on a wallet that accepts it. I have never really been a fan of leaving assets in an exchange unless I want to trade. BTC/ETH/USDT can be a good option to use to buy on bittrex. I believe it is the OP's decision, but why XRP though ?

You can check their official website or just go directly to bittrex or poloniex, if you have some BTC or ETH to exchange with. Any altcoin can be bought from any exchange as long as it is available on the exchange and I believe ripple is available on almost all exchanges.

Although, I really wonder why you are really bent on buying a manipulated centralized banker's coin when there are better alternatives. I would not hold this coin if I were you but it is your choice.

if like that I still do not know but see mareket that has been occupied ripple itself, in my opinion could be in the long run although the rise is not as fast as other altcoin.

Ripple's glory is deteriorating. Some banks had already quit and removed Ripple's blockchain to their system. Lets see if Ripple would rise again this coming summer , the true month of altcoins.

for now ripple is better for the future  :( . but to see this coin movement I see is not too regular and I am sure for this ripple alone I guarantee will not die.  ;)

Ripple is very strange coin . I think in 2018 it will cost the same price as now ). He donnot depends on news )

ripple tend to have a stable price it took so long to see it grow and fall. If you are going to buy a ripple then you should be prepared to invest in a relatively long time, or long term investment.

You can do fiat to Ripple using an Exchange, but as always depositing fiat to and exchange can be a pain. I would just buy BTC and trade from that, more choice of exchanges then.

For the question Yes of course you can buy straight up and also  you can trade Ripple.


I think XRP is good for  long term holding but i'm with you i do not see any breakaway  from the current price right now.

This is what I am waiting for!

Exchanges provide with the direct buying access for ripple. Here one thing need to be considered is the price difference between exchanges. Find the one with the lowest price and buy if plan is for a large volume.

Ripple is the good coin having great team and good concept, Ripple is used for banking purposes and that is why maximum holders are holding Xrp coin,
Ripple coin have great market capitalization and this coin is made on good technology and their price is down at this time but it is good coin and its price will go up and it will recover the losses.

Profitable for trading but when it comes to holding, this is one coin I can never ever try to hold. I really wonder what people are always looking for in this coin.

I see no huge prospect for it and except that I can make some quick bucks with it while trading on any of the exchanges, it is not a coin I would consider a long term investment. The ocean is huge with a lot of golden fishes, why will I go for a lesser one?

As a decentralized supporter, instinct can be disgusted with XRP's central thinking. But have to say, XRP's marketing and promotion capabilities are really powerful. XRP unit price increase this year has more than 1000%, sincerely admire.

Ripple! Investing into this coin you will not lose at least anything. This alt is the perfect intermediary between banks and crypto market, and it is very convenient to deal with this coin. Additionally, it has a great dynamics now.

you can buy xrp on bitstamp directly with fiat

I am still looking forward to what the long term of ripple is going to be like. I hope you are able to get at least the triple you are looking for.

I trade the coin though every now and then that I get the chance to trade for profit, but when it comes to holding, I really do not know why I am never comfortable with it, may be because of the fact that it is centralized or because it is one coin that can just burst anytime. I guess time will tell right ?

You can buy it on Kraken.
I'd hold it for long-term investment.

Ripple is one of my long term investment coin,has a good community,developers and it is made for the banks if this will be accepted by the centralized banks its value will go pump or even moon in the future.

What does it mean to buy a ripple up? You can buy and down. This is how you are lucky and it all depends on your ability to trade.

Really? you must be joking if you think this is a good investment, they just create more coins whenever they feel like it. It reminds me of the central bank doing as it pleases.

Yes it might be possible but we need to be really.careful in terms of investment I mean if you are buying it using Fiat currency or bitcoin then do not investment huge amount but if you can earn it through any bounty campaigns then you can hold on to it and if banks starts to accept tipple which will eventually happen in future as it is designed for bank then it will give tough competition to bitcoin .

Welcome to Poloniex my friend!

yES YOU CAN BUY

Guys, technology Ripple and Ripple coin are 2 different things. If ever Banks will be interested in buying and investing in Ripple technology, they can do that independently of using Ripple coin. They can use Ripple tech and fiat. Why should Ripple coin increase? I agree that in the future the price will raise a bit, but don't expect something spectacular.

it was originally intended for use in banking transactions, not a cryptocurrency, could be used to buy bitcoin on the first output. ripple is a puzzle that is pumped up by its own news and agreements, more than 60% of the investors have the right supply, so it needs to be avoided. Periodically, the pumps will become blood and ripple do not take them. A ton of twitter vs. 16 october conference. did the news results? Do not take it for granted that the price has bottomed almost 40%. Do not be deceived by CoinMarketCap because it is the 3rd floor coin. this coin has got a lot of coins in the first 100 in the marketcap project, you have to be a researcher, you never get a coin x lol, good luck.

yes of course you can buy a ripple but must be careful, especially if people who have not really understood about the ripple, so basically have to remain vigilant what we do in the future so that we can minimize the worst possible.

Yes, you definitely buy Rippe by your BTC in the exchange, https://poloniex.com/exchange#btc_xrp is an example. However, I think XRP is not good now. In last 3 months, Bitcoin price did not have a development like other altcoins such as ETH, Litecoin or Monero.

Ripple is a bit controversial. It found a good niche & clear strategy to be an intermediary body between banks  for providing payments, and they found so much partnership already...however price of XRP is stucked around 0.2-0.26 $ for a long time. Ripple still holds 52 bil. XRP tokens and this does not give additional trust for them (a central bank effect).

i think Ripples is good investment as it doesn't fluctuate as much, can be good thing to use to pull down your gains from other currencies? like a safe house?

Ripple literally jumped over 100% today and then dropped 50% so not the best timing to say it doesn't fluctuate much  ;D generally I'd agree though. Anyone know of any particular news that caused this?

i can never trust ripple its basically owned and run by the same people that can print as many us dollar as they want,

they dont want fair competition, what they want is some kind of financial kartell, so i out of principle stay away from them.

but since they are scammers they might print money and buy their own garbage to simulate price hikes, so if that is what you want to do then look for it, but lets see how long they will be able to do this legally and still be trusted, by the democracies in which they run their cartells.


ps: ripple should be banned and not listed on coinmarket cap, since its not a coin like the others one ripple has a completely different nature. and people should all be aware about that.

You can buy Ripple for USD or EUR using multiwallet of your payment system. Foe example paypal or kiwi. It will allow you to avoid registration any accounts and buying bitcoins for exchange.

I have been wondering the same thing if there is any news linked to the jump or its just a case of the alt bull run carrying all boats....

the ripple is a centralized cryptocurrency but its rank so good in coinmarketcap sites.I think its price will be increase very much in next year.

stupid fud, sorry you missed the train!

In the last couple of weeks:
11/16: Amex & Santander partnered with Ripple
11/28: MIchael Arrington starting a $100,000,000 XRP hedge fund
12/7: Ripple follows through with May 2017 promise to put 55 billion XRP into a time-release escrow.
12/15 (tomorrow): Japan and South Koreak banks will begin testing same-day internation funds transfers on the Ripple network.  Testing is supposed to last through January 2018.

Sold Bitcoin cash at $2100 on Cex.io for USD this morning, then bought XRP, for now my investment has increased by 50% because I bought XRP at $0.93. if I sell now, I would earn $0.4 on each coin, that is not a good ROI for me but is more than perfect opportunity for some body who invested at $0.2.
Who can guess what would be the next moon landing coin? I'd start begging for it.
Hint, activity tokens on DEX Waves.
