Bitcoin Forum

Hi All,

I have my last bit of money and I am not sure if I should go for XLM or XRP or just place it in the good old BTC wallet.

Thanks!

I think just save in bitcoin because bitcoin has biggest potential to grow compare with other cryptocurrency.
But if you can split it into some pieces then will be good idea.

I would suggest you to go for Lumen XLM as it has better features and amazing products to deliver I mean both XRP and XLM will be the gamechangers but at this moment XLM is yet to get the expected pump so I would suggest to go with XLM and get benefitted by the pump and if you just do a research already big investors have shown interest in XLM for their upcoming projects.

Thanks for your reply!

What about TRX? is XLM safer and will have a higher return?

I think it's better xrp than xlm because xrp is now the price keeps increasing, in comparison xlm and if you want to play it safe maybe stay in btc only :-*

I suggest you invest in some new ICO, XLM and XRP seem to have little potential, and most of the time XLM is just a follower of XRP.

I would like to prefer ripple rather than xlm.because it has huge market cap too much huge.

I would probably go with XRP (but you could also split 50-50 and have both).
XRP has shown that it can hit a much higher price than it is at currently, so there is definitely room for growth.

IN cryptocurrency no one could tell anything for sure. But if you are looking for X10 or something, BTC and XRP are not your options for a short and mid term investments.

If it really is your last bit of money I would suggest you to not invest at all, since altcoins are very volatile and you can lose all or most of your money in such a short amount of time. If you mean lsat bit of money in terms of dust remaining from previous transactions, I think I would go for XRP in the short term, since XRP may have another pump once the market stabilizes.

is XRP last manipulation not enough for you guys? clear as day that it wont go way above 5USD - all token are being hold by small group of fggts.

No its remaining from last transactions in my wallet..  Been looking in these:

XRP
XLM
TRX
BTC
ADA

the investment is approx $500

Thanks guys!

I think you just need to hold bitcoin, and that's enough, because it's worth far more than XRP and XLM.

I think both xrp and xlm are speculation coin.I do not want you to take both.But if you do, I suggest you take the xlm coin.The Xrp coin has already risen too

go on xlm its good project than ripple with same project as bitcoin. xlm is faster and cheaper more than bitcoin and xlm have a charity institution so its helping others by doing transaction using xlm.

Thanks for the above.. so its reduced to increasing my TRX investment, adding to my small BTC investment or going for XLM...

Decisions decisions!

I would definitely choose Ripple, a very solid project, there are a lot of banks behind and lately it is tightening very important agreements, I think it can increase a lot in the next months/years

XLM will rise faster than XRP i think, although XRP is better long term investment.

I think XLM has more upside. Both have good scaling architecture but XRP has a top down approach to adoption that targets banks first. That, and the fact it launched first, have pushed it out in front. But I think XLM is the tortoise to XRP's hare; XLM's bottom up approach to network growth is more inline with the original decentralization ideals of cryptocurrencies.

XRP keeps only because of what people think bankers are cunning and will come up with something for further growth.

Ripple appears to have more potential because the coin is being inspected by the people that are in Banking companies.

XLM and XRP are risky. XRP is too much volatility, XLM has recently been in the TOP 10 and has not yet fixed on this list. I would buy XEM!

I like XLM more than XRP because XRP is very centralized. But XRP have a good promotion: even my dad heard about about it on radio and invest in it  :D
But my opinion that both coins are overvalued now.

I prefer xml over xrp. Xml has a more successful features. I don't support xrp as it is centralized currency, I think it is against the meaning of the crypto. Ripple's only advantage is its popularity.

Put on Lumens, it will always go moon. Just buy on the dip guys so that you'll get a bunch of profit if you do that.

About XRP, xrp is about to "take out" bitcoin at its first spot at CMC. So it is probably good to invest in this coin.

this thought always remains and giving xrp a good glimpse that days will come and the value will jumped high, while xlm got little attention but
also have a big chances to grow more, xlm if getting enough attentions can really make its way to the moon.

Bitcoin Is The Lowest Potential Coin Compared By Other Top 25 Market Cap
I Suggest XLM
Better Development Team,Lot Of Support,Low Fee,And The Price is Still Cheap

If you check the chart, bitcoin is the best coin you have to buy. Recently XRP and XLM are in a bull run and suddenly dumped. I believe the dumping is not  over yet. On the other hand bitcoin is creating or building a good support at $13000.

I think Ripple will never grow up.
And Lumen is much better!

For now, stellar have a good pump, but it reached a really high price and it wouldn't be logic if you buy now. In my opinion, this two coins are not promising for the future. I think bitcoin is better than not ony ripple, but also stellar.

Both of them will grow. The main difference is that XLM is not pumped as hard as XRP yet. But I think in short-term XRP will be better because it's already reached a much more higher price than present.

XLM for me. Just for the fact that it has the best name of any coin ever  :)

If you only have a bit money, I suggest to invest in stellar (xlm).
Why? because the price is still cheap than with ripple.

Both are great.

I trust XLM much , XRP is a bit to risky for my taste

What are your predictions to these two coins, guys ? What price do you expect in 2018? I'am also a XLM and XRP holder :P

I go buy XLM at $0.66 I look again and its 0.71....... patience haha

I'm also just soo confused right now.Same situation same question

XRP (high volume)

If tron can get over the fraud accusations it will surely get back to top ten. If i had to chose one of them i would choose tron. It lost it’s balance after those accusations of stolen whitepaper buy it will recover...

Both of these projects are very interesting and it seems to me that they can bring a big profit. But I trust the ripple more, because this project has already been implemented and the coin is being introduced into the banking system.

I am going with XLM over XRP

Going with xlm as well. But more from a profit making perspective, I think in the end there is more profit to be made with stellar.

i have sold all of my XRP and jumped on XLM.
i would recommend XLM because its better then XRP and has much more room to grow.

I would put in XLM.  I believe it has more room to run than XRP.  But as others have said, maybe just put it in BTC and catch the next bull run.

XRP and XLM are just brothers, if you want to invest make 60% xrp and 40%xlm both are great for longterm investment.

XRP is a good opportunity to buy at price range of $2-2.5. It can surely give you 25-30% with in a week or so. You can easily book the profit at $2.75 and exit from the trade.
Stellar can also prove to a very good investment in long term...so invest in it by taking a mid-term or long-term view.

Ripple and stellarlumens are identical they are both designed to be a bridge between the fiat and crypto world.I will go with XLM because IBM is using Stellar  to conduct cross-border payments among multiple nations which means potential business for XLM.

Both coins bring me a good profit. I do not keep these coins in long. Thanks to the fact that the price of these coins is very volatile, I earn money from day trading.

XLM all the way ! What does XRP offer ? I will tell , XRP is offereing everything that is against cryptoworld and what people that joining crypto looking for . XRP is centralized and not anonymous , I am aware of the great partnerships XRP making but still they might be good even great but not related to cryptoworld .

I don't see any chance in either of the coin that you have mentioned here. The XRP was really artificial pump last week and there is no way we can surely say that it will rise again in the future. The centralised coin is making everything look like stubborn and there is huge possibility that it won't be spiked real soon. XRP done spiking and it done giving its biggest shot and now it will go in the stagnant mode.

The XLM, the stellar coin is not a question at all for me and I have always seen this coin in the unstable mode.

If you have last bit of your money then you should really choose the coin carefully. I would suggest you to keep your investment into ETH for now because that is only your biggest shot and it will help grow your money systematically.

That depends on how much you have and like the old adage goes never put all your eggs in one basket.Just split it between the three if that is possible.That is much better than just putting all that into one.Have a great time investing and hodling.

the thing is not about potential but about he won't invest a lot of money so it's senselessly to go in altcoins. that's why it's better to hold it in BTC and when the rates will be good put that amount to the alts.

I this time I think you should buy XRP because price current XRP very cheap. In the future price of XRP will increase very quickly because Invester put money very much in this coin. Beside you can see XRP  have many potential development. If you buy XRP you can become wealthy in the future.
Goodluck!

It really depands on how much you are palning to hold and how much you have, if you have like 100$ or more and you want to get fast profit, put it on XRP since it is starting to become more and more popular and has a decent price for a new coin so it defently has potential to rise quickly, if you have a lower than 100$ than just keep it in btc it is not going to get you much if you are looking for fast profit, both bitcoin and XRP are going to rise but they both have diifrenet price range, one is 13k and the other is 2$, so you need to buy a lot of XRP to be able to benefit from it right now.

I prefer Stellar(XLM) over Ripple(XRP) because in my opinion, XLM is growing stage right now because of its amazing feature and at the time confirmation with reasonable txn fees. People are showing high acceptability towards XLM whereas XRP is always been known as anti-crypto coin because of its centralized feature. I think  XLM will soon touch $1, so invest now.

Stellar Lumens showed a very good result in the last few days. I love this coin because of cheap and fast transactions. It is especially convenient to send funds from one exchange to another. The coin has a great potential for growth.

xrp is better then xlm , so i recommend you to go for xrp , even though its stable but xrp going faster now so thats why xrp is better xlm,

it doesn't matter what you choose. its your decision after all  :)

I would not invest in XRP now as it already priced high, I would rather have XLM.

I like more XLM

Meanwhile, ICO is being run on the XLM platform

I think that priorities change. Now both these coins have strongly sunk. Everywhere there is information that these coins are overvalued. Bitcoin went to grow up. What will happen to the coins - we'll see.

I would never invest in XRP. Better option is to buy BTC. Get some XLM to diversify, partnership with IBM sounds promising.

I quote both of them. between them I think it's good to hold. each has a different type and is nice to maintain than you pick Tron. I think both of them will last long although the increase is not as significant as the amount of coin is very much. maybe you will see the existence and resilience of both. the stability of the value and the support between the two is very good. compared to this very tron ​​only promises with the support of alibaba but has not produced results at all at this time. even tend to be abandoned user.

XRP is going along XLM. If one of it is rising then the other one is following it.

Stellar is better than Ripple, its more advance than Ripple. So i guess split money, buy bitcoin and some XLM to be safe side. Dont invest all your money in one coin only.

In the beginning, I also thought so. because Bitcoin does have great growth potential and guaranteed. but once I tried to buy and run trading on Ripple. I get a satisfactory result, which means no less equal to Bitcoin.

Well they are pretty similar to be honest.
Jed Mccaleb is the guy who is behind Stellar after he left Ripple due to a dispute with the other Ripple key figures.

The latest news gives grounds to assume the growth of Ripple in the near future. So, Ripple promised to invest in ICO projects,
which will function using XRP tokens. This can help the rate of the token grow several times. As you know, XLM repeats the XRP movement.
Accordingly, we should expect the growth of XLM.

Well go for the best and I think it's better to place it on the btc wallet or to the bitcoin as you can see bitcoin is increasing as of now, hold it for I while then invest it to this both coins or alt coins.

my first choice is bitcoin and second is XLM .i not like XRP because XRP is a centralized coin and banks control XRP price but XLM is fully decentralized coin and no one control it's price.and we know XLM comes with same technology like XRP so why we invest in XRP.i strongly believe decentralized coins are always better.so my first choice is bitcoin and second is XLM.but last decision is yours.happy trading.

In what way is xrp a centralized coin?

go for XLM and if you want another coin I refer you to go with TRX. they are both good tokens and I am holder of it . ripple also is a good coin but be careful because of korea issues and fud regarding on bitcoin issues and in their exchange hehehe.
but you picked a good coins hold it for a year and go back maybe you will triple or more your initial investment

Stellar is more an open protocol and more decentralized than Ripple. Moreover the Stellar network can be used as ICO platform even if the main purpose is still as payment solution

XLM is a better option than XRP and it is more stable one than XRP also in the market nowadays.

XLM is better,  cheaper costs of transaction fast and have promising future developments, but still need time to have a significant value, that's my opinion

Right now, Ripple goes for around $1.30 a piece. Stellar Lumens, on the other hand, go for less than $0.55 a piece. But price isn’t the only metric we should be focusing on here. Market capitalization (and, indeed, the disparity in this metric for both coins) is even more telling – Ripple is currently sitting on a market cap of more than $48.6 billion. Lumens, on the other hand, command a market cap of less than $10 billion. So XRP is trading at a little over twice the price of XLM but just shy of five times the market capitalization.

I prefer XLM because this coins is mineable but XRP just premined, many people say if XRP more to centralization and not to be category of cryptocurrency. XLM also has partner with company like IBM, so that mean will many third party that will buy the coins.

it depends on how much your money but I think you can divide your money into two parts so you can buy xrp and xlm together. but if you only want to buy one coin, then both coin is worth to buy and you need to choose by yourself. and don't forget that you have another option coin like trx and ada and this two coin still cheap price too. maybe I can suggest to you to buy xlm which cheaper than xrp.
