Ripple will increase the Circulating Supply. Maybe tomorrow or in half a year. Who knows.

But the result would be if they increase the Circulating Supply from 38% maybe to 76% the price will fall to 50%.

I'm sure they'll have a plan for how many to release so the price doesn't dump overnight.

That's beside the point. The point is that you and your potential Ripple investment solely depends on what they will do, as they can do anything. Or even the US government could force them.

Which is one of the problem Bitcoin and virtually every altcoin that followed solved; using a decentralized and trustless system.

That would be a good pump for Ripple if that truly happens. It's also a good move for other altcoin developers to follow suit because many developers right now are hanging in a stand still since the bitcoin price surge has happened last month. That move, unfortunately, didn't help at all because many altcoins are on the verge of dying out, if not just being stagnant and not gaining any value. Also, this is a good thing for Ripple holders, and the many altcoin holders in general because many are already losing faith.

Ripple is a good altcoin...
And for supply, i think that is will be increase after week 1 Jan 2018

Seriously folks?  This is old news.  Ripple put 55B XRP into escrow with a plan to release 1B into circulation each month for the next 55 months.  Ripple has been very transparent about its plan and stuck to its word.  When it put the 55B into escrow, the price went up, because it added credibility to Ripple.  It allows investors to accurately predict supply.

This is valid for every coin with infinite or coin with outside supplier like DOGE, USDT and so on.

For example, Bitfinex just printed 100 000 000 new USDT :D Do you think they 'have it in reserve'?!

Ripple is a centralized scam, See they are free to do whatever they want, Increasing the circulating supply, What would you do if someone increased bitcoin's circulating supply?
Where did they get 55 billion? I'd bet that they generated 55 billion by few clicks :D

Pretty sure if they just increase the supply it will destroy the coin's value and peoples trust in the coin with it. Maybe it will pave the way for Lumens.

Thanks for the info.

This means we have an inflation of about 2.6 percent/month. 31 percent/year.  This is huge.

indeed but why i think the rate of this highly promising altcoin i think now the price will be lower but i hope the dev team know what are they doing.

Do your research, that 55B is part of the total cap, and the company disclosed the 55B was going into escrow long ago.  

What would I do if BTC increased circulating supply?  Nothing.  I won't touch BTC.  I like to know about what I am spending my money on.  I have asked myself, who created bitcoin?  For what reason?  Why are they keeping their identity a secret?  There's a lot I don't know about bitcoin, and the creator(s) want it that way for a reason.  My assumption is that it wasn't created to generously make other people rich, create a global currency, etc.  

This is huge ..

Hardly ..
Try pricing XRP based on total supply ..
The distribution scheme for the remaining XRP has been widely KNOWN for months now ..
No secrets here ..
Ripple Labs has been very transparent for anyone that bothers to do some DD ie "due diligence"  ..

I agree. I think Ripple is one of those strong and reliable coins around the market. It may not be as strong as Eth, but it is in that rank as coins like Waves, LTC, and others that are more reliable to invest on rather than gunning for new ones that has not proven their worth just yet. By doing this, it also gives hope to altcoin holders that some developers may follow in making their altcoins increase in value despite the negativity surrounding altcoins at the moment.

My dream is that anytime the dollar printing is gone and replaced by a decentralized currency.

Ripple replaces the dollar printing by XRP printing. Centralized. The bangsters love the printing of
currencies.

For this reason I will stay on decentralized currencies.

XRP is a good long term hold,i dont care if it will fall or increase look at the future it offers,ethereum is now the 3rd cryptoccurency in market.

Is that right? They will just grow circulation supply, but it doesn't mean that those tokens doesn't count now, they are. It will not drop the price. Correct me if I'm wrong.

They are printing new XRP coins each month. (About 2.6 percent/month inflation)
The existing coins are always valid. But each coin has influation, because each month new coins are printed.

Ripple is useless.
The platform itself is used by banks, but the actual coin itself, no uses at all.
It has gained a bit of traction because some exchanges have started allowing you to purchase xrp with fiat and vice versa.

It's kind of like eth, the tokens themselves don't really have a use, everyone just wants to use the platform.
But now, eth has become so widely accepted that you can buy a huge variety of coins with it and can liquidate it very easily.

I don't see xrp ever doing this.
The recent pump wasn't exclusive to xrp, coins all over the board were pumping hard.
Now, it only has perceived value as noobs coming in to crypto think it's a better deal because it's a lower price.

Yeah, that just isn't sustainable.

How would this effect the price ?

It means with the same market cap of ripple: You will loose about 2.6 percent each month.

I agree, I am not liking the fact that scarcity is an issue with a lot of this high supply coins. However, new money is coming in and there will be a lot of new money coming in for 2018 and when people see the "low price" they buy because it looks cheap. So price will continue to explode IMO

Ripple is a joke when it comes to crypto. More than 20% of the current supple is in the possession of owners of Ripple. Also it is the most centrallized coin in crypto.

Ripple is a product of bangsters. They want to destroy dezentralized currencies.

In the short run yes,people wont stop buying this coin as it overthrow ethereum in its spot today.

55 billion is escrowed, and there is the legal agreement about Jed's share. The release of new XRP into the market is guaranteed to be gradual... and besides that it will do nothing to dent the price. In fact it should increase the price, as 'more XRP' generally means more to incentivise banks into adoption of the Ripple solution. I don't think that additional XRP in the market necessarily means that the amount available to ordinary members of the public increases.

Price in any case will soon fall and him. I think at the beginning of the year we will see a strong fall. But to increase the amount of coins do not see any sense in this

So many clueless people here.
Ripple created 100 billion XRPs with future in mind. Just to be sure the system can go many many years before all XRPs are destroyed.

You haters bitched about too many XRPs when they were worth $0.10 and said therefor it can never go higher because market cap this and market cap that.

Now you have found another excuse that Ripple would destroy their reputation by making new XRPs because you were dead wrong about your price prediction. Think for a minute before saying stuff like that.

Go complain elsewhere because you didnt join the Ripple train when the price was low.
"Ripple is centralized" is another big tell that you dont know what the heck you are talking about.

Ripple consist of many nodes that communicate with each other, and the whole point is that no company or people can own the majority of the nodes, even Ripple, so noone can ever control the network.
By time Ripple will become much more decentralized than Bitcoin.

Go read about Ripple instead of making up these clueless posts. Join Ripple or step aside. Because its going to the moon and we have barely even started  8)

The whole stuff happening around Ripple makes little sense indeed. Huuge supply, which gets inflated further, and the price surges like crazy.... Makes no sense.

This may be symantics, but we should be clear.  Ripple is not printing new XRP each month.  The coins must exist to be in escrow.  They are simply being released into circulation. 

Gold have a market cap of 7 TRILLION
Ripple own about 5.8 billion XRPs. Rest is locked down and can never be spent on paying employees or the company.
So they personally own assets with a value of about 11 billion with XRPs being worth $2.

Back to the gold. XRPs on the open market that you and me can buy have a market cap at the moment of 70 billion.
Gold 7 trillion.

The potential for XRPs to become much more worth is just huuuge. We can easily reach 10x bigger market cap than today

10x bigger or even 100x down from the market, because this is just a temporary pump.
it's better to wait some further developments before it becomes less valuable.

It makes perfect sense. The crazy thing is that the price was stuck at $0.25 for so long, with all that has been happening with Ripple in the last few months.



Totally agree. The target market that Ripple is going after is mind-blowing... and they look like they have a very good chance of success.

Wow. Didn't know about that. It is not good, it is the same as with fiat currency, but much faster. Where did you read this? May I have a link please. Thx

Just like any cryptocoin, the price can go down for sure. And it probably will just like any coin fluctuate in value.

But Ripple have just getting started. We have seen nothing yet and 2018 will be amazing for XRPs

If people are getting greedy, the bangster will win.

Everybody lost the thought of Satoshi. 
In 2008 the USA and the EU printed trillions of dollars and euros to stabilize the financial market.
The basic idea was to limit the amount of money.

This can only be done by decentralization.  Decentralization means not the decentralization of network. It means that not only one party or one government or the bangsters central bank can switch of the currency. It needs the majority of the community. 

This is Bitcoin.
This is Ethereum.

But this is certainly not Ripple.

Ripple is just crossed Ethereum in the market cap in coinmarketcap. Also its at 2$ now. Wonder where will it go now?

wrong
wrong
wrong

Try again.

No company, bank or person can ever own the majority of the nodes that control the Ripple system.
It will consist of thousands of nodes that is more decentralized than Bitcoin or Ethereum.

Ripple is one of the most decentralized networks out there.
Go read about it and educate yourself instead of posting these silly posts. This whole thread is full of uneducated haters

Unfortunately, there is a concentration of power in bitcoin and in any system. These actors then have the ability to undermine the system. I'm not sure that human nature allows for fully decentralised systems. Thoughts?

I guess this will cause price dilution resulting in lower price. However, if the demand keeps up, we might see a continuation of the uptrend sooner or later.

So much FUD and outright mis information ..
Please go READ ..
Then "comment" ..

the dev fund are now managed by an escrow that will make 1 billion coin available for them each month.

at the current price they can have more than 1 billion dollars each month and it's huge.

I don't know when they plan to release new tokens to the market but I knew last early this year they burned part of the tokens they are hold, but if they release new tokens to the market expect price to react to this new tokens injection

This is one of the most intelligent posts I have read.  I would rather know who has the power than be in the dark, as is the case with bitcoin.

If you check on coinmarketcap.com the btc/xrp price then you see a similar curve.

On May 17th 2017 xrp could reach a market cap of 26% of all currencies. Ethereum had only 13%.

The price of xrp was       0.00021 btc.
Two weeks earlier it was 0.000025 btc. 




Today the price of xrp is 0.000135 btc.
Two weaks earlier it was 0.00001485 btc.

Both it was a gain of 10x.

If you hold XRP, and the history is similar to the present, then the best buy is now BTC.

Taking information straight from the horses mouth?

Some people are so willing to be manipulated.

Let's not forget...

Ripple is NOT based on blockchain cryptography. So it's not really a cryptocurrency anyway.

the price wont fall if they can also increase the belive of idiots that it is valuable,

i hope not because i hate the banks and i want them to collapse and disappear, together with their ripple

regards

the banks and their financial cartel arent just overvaluated, they are also basically owned by powerful and rich people that abuse salaryslaves for their private economical advantage.

regards

What ever may be the reason, Ripple would try to maintain its price above $1. I guess the circulating supply won't reduce the price more than 50% and if that is going to happen, the management team would release circulating supply accordingly to sustain their price not below $1.

I do like the technology behind ripple. However i dislike that it is mostly used to "heal" bank transactions. 

They must pump the price becuase of circulation supply increase.

Yes, it is true that ripple's price will go down when the circulating supply increases. The price will be changed since there is a sufficient supply for all of those who needs to buy some.

I don't see that as having any lasting effect on the token price if they increase the circulating supply and not attempting to inflate the number of total tokens. Don't forget one of the major uses for Ripple was for banks to transfer large sums of money cheaply and instantly and during that transaction some Ripples will be spent and out of the system for ever so supply goes up and supply also gradually reduces.

Making money out of thin air, nice altcoin.. very good altcoin. I wonder why people support this kind of coin.

Wow, so many posts and not a single person knows that XRP is not Ripple used by banks.
This XRP pump shows that cryptocoins is mostly about speculation, and lack of knowledge here confirms, that its going to be a masacre.

Ripple can hit 9-10$ by the end summer 2018

Thanks for sharing, alot of fud going on...

This is actually a really good thing since a lot has been planning to imvest on ripple. Although the price will decrease after this, it will surely be increasing gradually since the traffic is pretty high and is expected to go even higher simce ripple has gained a lot of trust from its investors amd potential investors for their transparency with their plans. Eventually, it will be a good investment. But not for me though, snce i do not looe the ideology of this altcoin. But hey, that's just me. Good luck to all who invested and are looking to invest. :)

This is precisely why I do not like Ripple and what it stands for.  The idea behind moving into a decentralized system is to avoid these scenarios.  I guess that is why this is the favorite of the bankers.  Just remember, anything that can be created out of thin air, will one day lose its value.
