ripple is now at 100B do you think it can overtake bitcoin once Coinbase lists xrp?

theoretically yes, but not practically because usdollar valuation will cease to become practical then

regards

ripple beat ethereum today,
but, i think even ripple is listed on coinbase, the marketcap would not surpassed bitcoin

well im thinking coinbase listing made BCH i think grow up more than 2x.
if coinbase does that to xrp i think xrp can overtake bitcoin

My concern is that that increase has been 64.9% in 24 hours. Ripple certainly has promise- but I can't see what has happened in the last 24 hours to force that move in the market- that's a stupid amount of money. It'll correct, and it'll hurt it- and I suspect whomever is behind it, knows that.

Jeez... I was so wrong about XRP!  I said numerous times in this forum that XRP would never break out due to its centralization.  I was so wrong about it... so who knows what can happen.  I'm watching it in awe right now though.

it is due to market demand. no one can pump xrp like that unless you are bill gates and warren buffet. do you see how much btc was spent to achieve that price?
geez

I seriously hope not. Bitcoin should be dethroned in the upcoming years. But not yet. Not in 2-3 years imo.
Maybe Ripple will be the one. But for the sake of the cryptoworld. I hope it's not before 2020.
The reason for that, is because once Bitcoin falls, the average Joe should know why. Or else it could be the fall of all crypto. That's what I believe.

Oh, and I hope IOTA or Raiblocks (RAI?, if they decide to change name) will be the currency to take #1. in 2020.

If XRP still pair with BTC. Its not gonna happen. 10:1 people know about crypto from BTC. After that then they jump to ALtcoin. Still long way to go.

Oh, yes they can. A lot of big money in crypto, especially in China because they made it cheaply- and they know how to work with each other. Seen all sorts of market moves in the last 4 years where similar shit has been tried at various scales- but generally the same amount of market share. The uptick in XRP is directly linked to a similar downtick in BTC (saw the same thing with the recent BCH run)- the game is to get the price mooning, start a stampede, and then quickly dump before the rest of the lemmings follow you- in return, you get BTC cheap, get a nice tidy profit, and the followers get fucked.

BTW- the real world doesn't do shit like in the last week of the year- most people are on leave, or are out the lunch. We've not seen $9 billion in new money enter crypto- we've seen $9 billion transfer from BTC to XRP- that suggests bullshit is going on.

It was more than Coinbase alone. Jihan Wu of Bitmain announced that he will only accept BCH to buy his ASIC miners on the same day

To be honest, Ripple has been resurging the past few weeks and I respect that they've overtaken Ethereum in market cap. However, I think that it's not going to be possible for Ripple to surpass the almighty Bitcoin.

As Bitcoin is the mother of all cryptocurrencies, there's no way that it'll be overtaken by any altcoin like Ethereum, Bitcoin Cash, Ripple, etc.

Just sayin'.

really not other topic than ripple? I agree with this found on telegram that ripple is Trojan horse by the banks targeting BTC and ETH

Bam O.:
Do you know what people are buying Ripple with?

USD? No. Eth and BTC.

Do you know who holds most of the ripple in this world? Who's selling it? Banks.

What we're witnessing is the reversing of the massive wealth transfer.

The banks KNOW that they can't kill Eth and BTC, now they need to get as much of it as possible. They don't want to pay full price.

Their plan?
Develop XRP, Hold most of it.. artificially manipulate the price by bidding it up, $2, $3...
When retards think it will keep going $4, $5... they are trading precious LIMITED decentralised Ethereum and BTC... for a shitcoin that can be printed on a whim.

In the end the banks will win. They will end up holding most of the Ethereum and BTC.. You will end up holding most of the XRP..

and that's when Macafee's prophecy will occur. BTC will head to 1M, Eth to $500k per coin... and you'll be holding Ripple, basically pegged to the USD valued from $0.5 to $1.50 per coin.

i think when that listing happen, it go high a litle and then it will fall down
something similar with NXT nowadays because of whales game
always becarefull bacause XRP is centralised, not like BTC that is decentralised
the true blockchain is decentralised

To be frank, I don’t think XRP is able to overtake Bitcoin for the time being. Ripple’s market cap is half of Bitcoin, it is not so easy to achieve it.

its possible, when you look xrp position now, of course with great community will help xrp up.

It can beat bitcoin in coinmarketcap but not in value because bitcoin only have 21M total supply while XRP have Billions of supply available in the market.

it may take a long time for the ripple to take over the bitcoin position, It can happen or can not happen. but I think it's very difficult for a ripple to do that and its chances are very small.

It's just temporary trend, will end soon. Real market is just about possibility and every analyze is accepted, but answer is mystery. Crypto market is similar with currency market, if you have currency basic knowledge I believe you know what I mean. Week end and end years is the moment about speculations, everything will happen fast and unpredictable. BTC still and always number one, so be careful and stay safe. See you next time.

It may be their plan..but people can also buy-in XRP through fiat currencies and avoid moving eth and btc. With increasing adoption there will be more and more EUR/XRP or USD/XRP pairs around (like Coinbase).. All I m saying is that this conspiracy theory sounds quite odd to me..

Kudos for acknowledging your prior mistakes.
Cryptos are extremely hard to predict too.

I think Ripple have a huge potential in 2018. Its barely even started.

 How did you come about this theory?

Possible XRP's investors are growing everyday,they choose it over BTC because of its transaction speed.

I think that XRP is quite likely to pass BTC in cap, but I don't think Coinbase will have much if anything to do with it - rather it will be real world use of the token in the banking sector. Difficult to say how far away from this we are, but once one bank starts using it properly and gains an edge on every other bank, then the others will certainly follow - that is when the XRP price will truly explode. $1 trillion cap doesn't seem unreasonable.

On a side note I also think it's likely that a smart contract coin can overtake BTC in cap. ETH still looks the strongest contender. I like Cardano, but the price is way too high for something that is so early on in development.

Someone bought 900 million XRPs about 3 weeks ago.
Id say chances are big that it was coinbase  ;)

I really cannot understand why the price is rising for a coin that has unlimited number of coins,does coinbase listing make a difference in the price,i do not think so,if so we would have seen some price rise when they listed litecoin, it did not move at all during that phase ,i know that because i was following the market carefully during that time and that is the case with xrp listing too.

It's possible, with the amount of supply that Ripple has, imagine it's market capital of it hits 100$,let thousand dollars alone. It's quite astonishing that  a centralized currency is breaking the records while bitcoin is struggling to recover, probably now is not the time for bitcoin investment. Ripple has emerged out of nowhere now, worth my investment, like always  8).

Nowadays anything can happen, I think it can happen, but no so soon. Maybe after listing at coinbase will reach 160b. If xrp partner with more banking and no bad issues. It will very soon touch 200b.  Today xrp just beat ethereum became number 2 in makercap. Hope xrp will not disappoint us. Because I'm holding   ;D :D.

In the past, i very supportive of XRP, "whatever they do,".
Once i`m know, XRP is one of the coins manipulated by banksters "not a mining coin", there are bigger concerns in my mind, XRP will be able to pass through Bitcoin.

I've seen so many strange and 'impossible' things happen with crypto, I'd not be surprised if Ripple is going to be the first to hit the $1 trillion market cap. Doesn't mean all coins will sell for $20 though, just the top.

I would say no, but I feel like there's a lot of scheming a lot of shady deals between the top people in crypto.
Ripple can probably pump it very far with all their money. But I personally think ripple is nothing compared to btc.

Doubt so, the marketcap of BTC is much larger than that of XRP. I think the value of XRP may drop in the coming days, but that's just my opinion.

How can it really happen? I hope all is ok and altcoins will moon....

It is not possible as BTc is the father of all altcoins.

with current numbers its just a pump, there's no tech behind xrp that could be in any use like blockchain, its centralized and rigged

How can it really happen? I hope all is ok and altcoins will moon....

I never would have thought that xrp would overtake ethereum, let alone reach 1 dollar because of the amount of coins on the market.  I am quite surpised by the price of ripple right now.  If I would have invested back when it was 10 cents, I could have made a lot of money.  But that is life, could of- would of- should of.

So many crazy things are happening in crypto these days, you shouldn't think Ripple overtaking Bitcoin is impossible. Would be interesting if Ripple becomes the new standard and we price coins in XRP instead of BTC.

Hope you have seen the official announcement from the co-founder of coinbase of not listing XRP in near future.
Such assumptions are futile until and unless they hold the strong bar.
I will leave a fun good read of my XRP intake:
Ripple is very innovative and promising fintech.

Ripple is open-source. Ripple can be forked w/o airdropping new-XRP to any XRP holders.

Any Ripple-based network can be bootstrapped by a few corps in a few days.

XRP value =! Ripple tech value.

Your XRP tokens are worthless.

No, there are many times that it has been said and asked if XRP will take over bitcoin when it comes to market cap or even for it's throne. I know that you are an XRP holder but you are getting far brother the way you are thinking. Bitcoin is still the king and it's market cap is higher than any other coins although you are seeing other coins to excel but it's not that going to happen.

That is still vague to even speculate that XRP will overtake BTC be it short or long term. As we know it, bitcoin is already there and it's already dominating in the cryptoworld. What's only clear for me is that bitcoin is irreplaceable by any altcoin. As long as bitcoin is still around and its demand continues, XRP will always be below it.

Sure it can.

You can do it too. Here is how:

1. create artificial worthless scamtoken on private blockchain ("SCAM"), which you and a friend run on their laptop.
2. pre-mine large number of SCAM tokens, 100 000 000 000, like cRipple, or better 100 000 000 000 000, idiots cannot understand large numbers so this helps alot
3. Sell one token to your friend for 3$
4. Now get on CMC, your market cap is now 3 * 100 000 000 000 000 = 300 Trillion $
5. you are now number 1 on CMC, all the planet's idiots and noob kiddies will buy your coin with one hand, while jerking off with the other hand because they think they are now super smart and super rich. They think they are smart because "I only pay $3 for a SCAM while stupid BTC costs $15000 wow I am such a smart investor" and dream about SCAM going to $1000 and making them rich.

Bingo! You have overtaken all other coins on CMC.

Of course your coin has no real value, there is no one that will pay even a tiny fraction of that market cap, and there is not enough money on the planet anyways.

But that doesn't matter to shilltards....

Dump of XRP is coming, i'm waiting - scam never will be No1, IMHO

It's frightening how fast Ripple market cap is increasing (more than half the market cap of the BTC ! ). But I don't think it's technology is as interesting as Ethereum. Sorry for Ripple fan's but i hope it's going to came back to a lower place.

What we see in recent days is certainly the manipulation of the market. I hope that soon the financial flows will begin to be redirected back to bitcoin. If the ripple overtakes bitcoin, then this will be a bad sign for the whole community.

Agree with you, it's nothing but manipulation by ripple whales. They will stop anyway, they can't conduct this on purpose pump until the end of the world. Bitcoin and ethereum will once again dominate the crypto exchanges.

If centralized Ripple worth this high I'm sure decentralized Bitcoin a lot more higher. The recent Ripple prices surges make the Ripple co-founder be the richest man alive who hold  37% stake in Ripple. But I'm sure Ripple will never overtake Bitcoin, its just happen in the past when everyone talking about the Ethereum Flippening, but that did not happen.

This is just a theory but a theory can be a fact someday,but if thats happen it will be the end of crypto.

I think that in recent years bitcoin dominance of the cryptomarket have grown smaller and smaller due to the rise of ICO’s. I think that investing in these crypto like XRP will give you huge profits as their price today are very much undervalued and have the potential to have exponential growth just like what bitcoin have done. In terms of price I believe that it is difficult surpass what bitcoin have done since there are so much competition today.

I would like to add more, they don't know how to get XRP other than buying them, Ripple is claiming to transact for banks cheap and fast, how would any body know if they are doing it really cheap? what if they are spending $1 per transaction?
A bank is buying 10M XRP for $40M and sends them to another bank, the second bank now has 10M XRP and people want $40M from the bank, second bank could never get $40M for 10M XRP, while the first bank is earning money on that $40M, second bank is trying to sell XRP or would send them to another bank for the same amount $40M. they would buy 100M XRP for $500M and would send them to another bank to get more money, now the last bank has 110M XRP worth $550M, another bank is trying to buy 200M XRP and would buy that 110M XRP for more than $550M because they would want to give 200M XRP to some other bank and get $1.6B. that bank paying $1.6B for 200M XRP could never get $1.6B if there is no other bank trying to buy XRP.

XRP is potentially the king of cryptocurrency
a very massive volume and the speed of deals offered, is very promising to rule the throne

Just talk about the market cap, I don't think ripple can go beyond bitcoin, but I think that eth would go beyond  bitcoin, because it isveasy to carry, tansfer fast, low fees,  so I believe that one day eth will be beyond bitcoin.

nope im not an xrp holder. just thinking if i should get on the train as well

Riding on the train? Well suddenly every XRP that are FOMOing right now will miss a big thing. There will be an opposite reaction that will start moving backwards because there will be a big time for those whales of it that they'll sell in a time that we aren't expecting. If you want to ride on a train of a coin better you choose some other coin that just like XRP's price before.

Lots of experience people beleive XRP will be dumped soon, but one thing they dont know is big whales decision. Those whales always make crypto users surprice.  ;D

I would say in terms of market cap that it is entirely possible for Ripple to overtake Bitcoin in the number 1 spot. The sheer numbers of XRP combined with the current small price make it easy to invest and also to double or triple in value.

There's so many topic about ripple now in this section, Ripple is great coins and it might be overtake other altcoins like ethereum.
Altcoin is altcoin we all both know that altcoin can't reach now what have done by bitcoin, because bitcoin is most trusted coins in cryprocurrency besides this coin is pioneer among of all coins. So that's impossible happen that ripple overtake bitcoin, maybe ripple can replaced the status of ethereum step but not in bitcoin.

That Ripple chart is amazing. In the past years there have been a few huge spikes and then slow drop offs. But even in this chart of this month you can see waves. What an interesting pattern. How many more waves is it going to make and when will the drop off begin? If it continues this way it could come very close to Bitcoin.
