Bitcoin Forum

Ripple’s XRP is having a disastrous start to 2019. In a year when bitcoin is storming back towards bull territory, XRP has crashed 16 percent. The third-largest cryptocurrency is now the worst-performing digital asset in the top ten.

Ripple’s woes worsened in yesterday’s trading session as XRP’s value dropped 7 percent, plunging below the key $0.30 mark. XRP is consistently underperforming bitcoin and the broader cryptocurrency market.

No no
I wouldn’t agree with worse performing crypto in 2019
It’s a mere dip and it’s not yet -50%; so what do u imply ??

Like it or not; trading is a sequence
You either swim with it or get carried away

Is it really a crypto?? Ohh, I didn't know that!! What I know about Ripple is that they are a company with a well formulated business plan unlike any other crypto!

In some years, these company run currencies will fall out of the race. Read some great inputs here,

They are not in good in terms of raising their USD value as the bitcoin to USD is not getting like 2017.
As of being a worst crypto, it is given even before as they are supported with supply in the market though we can't see the transparency, i know that volumes are being fake.
Fall out of the race will be easy as the years goes by, 3rd spot will not be htere place and will surely go down way out of the top 10.

XRP is just a shady coin and its price is highly speculated.

It can be the best or worst but if you love crypto, i suggest you not to hold it. It is everything against crypto.

This coin will be very difficult to hold the 3rd position because in the last few days there is a lot of bad information about this coin and indeed XRP is no longer valuable in the investment field. In my opinion, the supply of XRP is too high, which is the biggest obstacle for this coin to not recover well in recent times and their team probably sold all the coins when XRP reached $2 and they are float away this project

XRP is known to be centralized and the communities don't want it technically to be called cryptocurrencies, but we shouldn't underestimate too much the power of XRP for temporary. It is heaven for the centralized entities especially banker as a gateway to the blockchain worlds. Nevertheless, the nature of it is surely not sustainable and has no different to 'conventional currency'.

That's the problem with ripple, there's certain part if it where investors really doubt whether it can perform inside crypto industry, knowing to be centralized can always be the disadvantage aside from the pumped and dumped scheme where can be possible to happen, this performance which swaying right now is another indication of losing of trust from the community.

Worst performing in the top ten. Yes I agree. But not worst performing cryptocurrency overall. There are worse coins than XRP. I think the massive total supply of XRP is responsible for its slow start to 2019. I might be wrong though

I'm still holding some ripple in the event that the price might come up later this year. I cannot really understand why it has remained almost motionless ever since the resurgence of btc and some other alts so far

Still at the third position. It is removable and could be in less position but it did not happened.  ripple is not yet dead, probably there are something good is going to happen once ripple recovered.The popularity of Ripple as a cryptocurrency is determined by the number of partner banks that use the Ripple (https://coinswitch.co/coins/ripple) payment system. this cryptocurrency is completely different from the usual bitcoin, Ethereum.the high speed of transactions is higher than in the Bitcoin network. With a decrease in the number of coins and the increasing popularity of the entire system, the cost of the ripple will naturally grow.

XRP will surprise everyone else when it starts to rise. I remember all the negative attitude to XRP in 2017 but when he began to grow all the . crazy in delight, it will be again

We know that the ripple coin is adjustable. Therefore, the current price reduction of this coin may be deliberate. Now it is very convenient before a general increase in the cryptocurrency market to artificially lower the ripple price in order to force some of its holders to reset it. Therefore, I believe that nothing bad will happen to this coin. The banking system is the key to the successful development of this coin.

OP didn't provide the source, so here it is: https://www.ccn.com/ripple-disastrous-year-xrp-worst-performing-crypto-2019

The hype around XRP has died down, bagholders thought this crypto (and xRapid) would become the norm in the banking system for cross-border payments and other transactions, some even expected that it would replace SWIFT in the future...Reality is that only a few banks are using their tech, the majority of the big banks don't care using another service when they can create one on their own. All those alleged partnerships and whatnot were nothing but hype created out of thin air to attract newcomers and investors.

Ripple is a centralized crypto run by banks.

It's everything cryptocurrencies are NOT supposed to be.

Might as well just buy a VCC or rechargeable credit card. If you're going to use centralized bank-issued currency then just buy traveler checks.

If you have lost faith and do not want to support ripple anymore i would suggest you to just swap it for btc as soon as possible but i am sure that xrp is going to have a good run soon too perhaps all the big coins are just warming up and it is just a matter of time. Xrp, Eth, Ltc all will make good moves in coming months.

2019 is not end yet and we all know that every coin has really an unstable volume or maybe price because it is always depend upon the number of investors that invest into it and i think we have many mpre months to go and posibly the xrp will become more amazing because crypto market today is slowly rising maybe next couple of days some tokens will also rise.

Among the main projects, XRP is always the last to respond to pumps and dumps in the market. I remember that in 2017, little moved in relation to the other currencies, and then started a strong pump that culminated with him passing projects like bcash and Ethereum. If it is to speculate, I would try to come in after the BTC finds a great resistance.

that is nonsense. the performance of altshitcoins can not be measured in the long run. they all perform badly in the long run because they are shitcoins.
their performance is only measured according to their pumps. and XRP is one of those coins that has at least one major pump every year or so which lasts at least 2 or 3 weeks. and during that pump they pump the shit out of their coin before leaving it back to die slowly.

This is now happening to all altcoins. While bitcoin will grow the rest of the currency will fall. It is not profitable now to keep funds in other coins while there is a chance to earn a little by transferring finances to the main coin.

Riple is a very profitable and cool coin.  I do not understand why so much dirt in his direction.  Who does not like do not invest guys.  What is the actual problem?  As for me, he is very promising and shows a very good result.

Binance coin is in the way to replacing ripple in the third position as time goes on in this year 2019, ripple market have been plugging into a down trend and if time is not taken this fall in price will continue to decline, but ripple holders should keep hoping for a better market days to come as the overall market keep recovery.

People still think that Ripple is good coin?
Look at any xrp thread including this one, there is overwhelming evidence against ripple.
do some very basic research and you will find out why everyone hates it.

Put all of that together and you will realize that you should stay far away from XRP.
It is a terrible investment choice and a terrible company to support.

Heres the thing though, just watch.  In a week or two the price of XRP will suddenly shoot up!
Wow! It might even take back #2!
Then it will crash again.

This is all pure evidence of their manipulate and shady practices.
Don't believe me? Just take a look at their blockchain, all the evidence is there and the blockchain does not lie.

MarketCapwise It is even a bigger scam than Bitconnect and Bcash.

Shareholders of this company is hiring shills so clueless noobs buy this crap from higher prices and these shareholders can take a dump on them. This is what's happening on twitter lately.

This shit is about to blow at any time. It is a ticking bomb. They are panicking.

I think XRP has great potential despite its weak development but it is still a rival for ETH, from the XRP cryptographic scheme will continue to increase because the market has improved. the future is still long and I'm sure all Altcoin get better quality in digital money exchange.

The two charts (of Bitcoin, and Ripple) give me vague imagination that Ripple can get dumped deeper as Bitcoin was. When everyone thought this is a bottom, whales forced it down to one deeper level, and the same movements might occur with Ripple. They have similar pattern, from past movements, so maybe Ripple will follow exactly what Bitcoin experienced before slowly recovering from its real bottom, that might be lower than temporary price.

The market value of a particular crypto coin is not really used to determine the performance of the coin on the crypto market. The market cap and volume within 24hrs is the best way to analyze how well the coin is doing on the market. The market volume of Ripple within 24hrs does not tell that Ripple is under performing on the market. The fluctuations in its market value is basically due to the current nature of the crypto market and the crypto ecosystem...

This is nothing new to me, I already know Ripple is not good to invest anymore. when yesterday's increase was only the XRP that didn't move, not just this time. so I thought XRP was over.

I fully agree with this. Ripple shows himself very badly this year. I hope that this trend will change soon and Ripple will start growing again. I think that now is a good time for this.

Is this a hint that people should start getting out of XRP or its still a chance for them to accumulate this coin? I'm no XRP holder because I don't want to invest with it since before but good old days when people took profit when it ath @ $3.
This is the news about it.
Inside Ripple’s Disastrous Year: XRP is the Worst-Performing Major Crypto of 2019 (https://www.ccn.com/ripple-disastrous-year-xrp-worst-performing-crypto-2019)

Coin of course has its weaknesses but there are advantages.. But in principle, the project is interesting for those who want to make a profitable investment, and for those who seek opportunities to earn money. I think Ripple will still take 3rd place on the Coinmarketcap.

Ripple has been relatively stable without feeling the heat in market down trend like ETH, BCH and BSV have been very volatile bringing huge losses to unskilled traders, XRP has acted like a stable coin while maintaining some level of resistance. No pump, no much dump.

XRP is a money transfer based and banking related crypto. Many people in this forum (including me) don't like XRP. It is very much centralised project and it is backed by banks. So in somewhere the price of the coin is controlled by some centralised force. But in other hand. If you see it as just a project it is one of the best working and developing project in this ecosystem. But the problem of centralisation is pulling down the whole project. At a point they really performed well but now it's not working properly. Let's hope and wait for long term conditions may it show some good profit.

There are thousands of altcoins that are performing worse than ripple, xrp is performing better than many altcoins out here,and I don't see any reason why you said such about xrp, ripple is among the best altcoins too and if you are talking about not appreciating enough from the bitcoin growth since last month or you are comparing to tokens like bnb them you have no idea how bull run works. I can coins like xrp sleeping dragons cos there times will surely come

Looking at the many good news about ripple at the beginning of the year, it was very clear that ripple was going to make some good moves this year but surprisingly that isn't the case as at the first quarter of the year.

The poster should really take good look at other coins, thousands of them before concluding XRP is the worst. I think and will take his words as just assumptions. XRP is a good project and mere dip doesn't mean it's the worst.

The problem with ripple is that they are trying to use the money they have to buy the heart of people which is just not so especially in the Crypto world, you have to earn that trust by delivering a good project, I have never been a fan of ripple right from time and not never be one even in the future because I don't really see it as a Crypto but a centralized coin owned by the banks we are fighting against.

I'm curious too cause if we compared with other top 20 coin, ripple performance is very poor!
I don't know how they stuck with the price and can't perform better, maybe they lost the trust from community?
Or they don't have any new plan to release yet?

Yes, i have also XRP since at the end of 2018 but waiting for price growth but not growing well but hope it will be grow in 2019 and will perform after major changes .

Perhaps its because many new promising project and many XRP holder trying to convert their investment in new project. Or maybe XRP investor afraid on JP Morgan plan to launch their own coin for banking system and its competitors for XRP

I think this is just a game from the XRP side who wants to manipulate prices so that many people are interested and will raise the price of XRP in exchange but I'm sure after that it will definitely fall again.

I agree, xrp is one of the centralised crypto that appear in decentralised world, its backed up by thr banking, so it kind of destroy crypto features, and I think the potential of this coin is not too good, many people don't like this coin because its centralised, but like it or not this coin got a big transaction volume, it has been on top 3 for a long time and the sliding down price can't make the position shifted

XRP is not a cryptocurrency at all. Get out of it before it's too late! I would not be surprised if in a few years it will not be at all in the top of the coimarketcap.

It's a cryptocurrency for no doubt an that's why it's accepted on coinmarketcap and many exchanges. But, some people say it's a centralized coin which played by some big people who are obviously bankers. That's why I agree that this coin is not a good coin to invest, hold or even support.

He said it is Worst-Performing Major Crypto so do not count any crypto that is not in top of the coinmarketcap. In some case I agree with OP that XRP are perfroming worst among other major crypto, the price keep dipping. However, we can exclude the fact that it is still can compete with other major cryptos in term of market cap, even in some occasion XRP is take over Ethereum 2nd position.

Is XRP a crypto?? :D To be honest, this is just a stupid coin that is owned by banks and different institutions and they are pumping and dumping it anytime they want. I don't want to invest into this coin because this coin is highly manipulated by different rich persons. I suggest to don't invest into this stupid coin because this will be not in the top 10 in coinmarketcap in a few years.

XRP entered 2019 with the third rank, which was taken over by Ethereum. You need to know, XRP has been ranked second for the past few months. The increase in Ethereum was driven by updates to Constantinople, dropping XRP from second place. Ripple's potential as a cryptocurrency is no doubt. Many cryptocurrency only sell their visions in the future. However, Ripple gives an example directly at this time and in the real world.

Manipulation really takes place over XRP as it is controlled coin. Hypes may occurs last year which making XRP surpasses ETH for few more months but turn it back again. It for sure, a lot of people where investing this coin during that hypes and I don't know if they are having regrets right now seeing a huge declines right now.

Yes, I see that competition is indeed extraordinary competition. Previously I thought the XRP would remain in that position and could no longer be ethereum to take second place. After increasing ethereum by an update to Constantinople, Only Ethereum took second place. But I don't speak XRP is bad, Precisely this XRP is one of the coins that I think is good and is indeed obligatory to be an example.

It is just hype that is making xrp really topping others in the coinmarketcap not because people really value the coin that much because of its centralized nature, is there anything centralized that is ever going to perform well?

Sine bankers are still the ones controlling it, I am sure it will get the backing of bankers more than other people with different profession out there and there is a limit to which bankers can push it to too, if they don’t have the support of more communities out there, then they might not really last more than we think. So xrp is really going to be a bad investment.

I think Ripple is not a cryptocurrency, given the connection with banks and centralization. I hope that XRP will disappear soon.

In my opinion, XRP is not the worst performing crypto this year. I even speculate that this XRP works very well and the price is very stable in exchange.

Not as bad as that, in 2019 this movement was very large and difficult to analyze, so we saw Bitcoin fly yesterday, FUD and FOMO have attacked altcoin including XRP.

Well, at the end apparently is not the worst-performing alt coin of 2019

https://unblocked.press/crypto-general/worst-performing-altcoins-during-2019-the-list/

I think Ripple is the only coin that is in existence just based on hypes. If the coin is not hyped, it will disappear at all. Not only XRP, all coins, except bitcoin, will disappear if not hyped. XRP is reaching its position at this time as it has been decreasing in price. I think XRP will drop to $0.1 until the end of the year 2020.

XRP is also there in the list, which many people have lost their valuable time in XRP which most of the whales are grabbing their coins which they are dumping in the market. Really 2019, is the most disastrous for the altcoin which has higher potential has decreased their price lot in the market.

Not only on hypes but more on market manipulation. It is being said that there is someone or a group of big people behind its price movements. If the coin is not hype, then we won't be having a market at all. Always remember that hype is always there together with the market.
Your prediction on its price is too much, I don't think that it will drop that low, rP still continue to be a good coin so it won't happen.

If coin like ripple loses few percentages in value isn't that a good time to buy? To me XRP is one of the best coins in crypto space and losing few value is not something huge to start giving ripple bad name, it's a capable digital currencies

For investors, it is the worst performing cryptocurrency of 2019 but for the traders, it is a blessing for them since the price of ripple is close to its strongest support level and that means that is the buy zone for ripple and after that, they will just hold it long term and expect a huge return on their position.

This is a coin that does not bring any profit to investors in 2019 and very people have sold all Ripple to invest in a better new coin. In fact, the big supply is the main reason why the coin is no longer trusted by investors because the development team can sell at any time if they feel profitable. I don't like that and until now I have been trying to stay away from this coin for the past 2 years.

If I were you i will buy few XRP while it loses value, it's centralized and it can be a better choice for banks in the future, it's the kind of currency the government cares about unlike decentralized coins

The initial ripple in 2019 cost ± $ 0.35 and now in early 2020 it costs ± $ 0.15. within one year not an increase was achieved. it seems I agree that ripple does have poor performance. but even so I'm still surprised that Ripple is still in TOP 5, so it can't be said that ripple has the worst performance.

Even if I am not a fan to XRP (meanwhile, I invested in it some times ago), I consider this as a hate on XRP. The fact is that a lot of coins, even those in top 10, performed woefully in 2019. When addressing an issue like this, try to put a lot of things into consideration. Apart from what I used to believe in, some, despite how the general market has been, have been able to make some profits on XRP. This might be a different year entirely, not just for XRP, but also for the entire crypto space.

It's really not quite bad performance, it's simply not fulfilling everyone's expectations, too many holdings and believes XRP will gain more achievements in 2019 but no, it did bring about a futile wait, plus a sizable loss when the value of xrp dropped relatively sharply, great hope but just disappointment and expressing a dissatisfaction is a normal reaction. To me, I'm not as surprised as you are when XRP can still rank high on CMC, it has a large enough capitalization and the community is strong enough to gain that foothold, and not only is XRP worse in 2019, almost altcoins are like that

The relationship between Ripple and XRP has been thought to be extremely close. Unfortunately, the positive development surrounding Ripple has not contributed to XRP at all. Moreover, billions of XRP are released to the market monthly.

This is ridiculous, how can you call the third best coin in the world the worst performing crypto of 2019 where many top 100 coins are falling in value, XRP only loses part of it's hair and it's nothing to write home about, instead of complaining you should be filling up your bags

Somehow, I kinda disagree, that a coin did not perform the way many expected it to perform does not make it worst or anything related to that. Let's just say 2019 was not the year for Ripple. This year will tell you more.
I do say that the worst performing altcoin of 2019 is Ethereum. Over the years is has been disappointing, it didn't fail on 2019.

I am suppppper happy about it, XRP sucks and everything about Ripple sucks, I hope every single XRP goes below 1 satoshi and even becomes less than 1 litoshi one day, I want XRP to die, I want it dead and never used ever again.

I was around when it all first started, bitcoin was a marvelous currency and Ripple owners saw Bitcoin and talked about how blockchain could be used for transactions to make them faster and cheaper, surely enough they created their own and started taking the blockchain part more seriously, they were never doing it for the XRP part, they just built a whole business based on blockchain and how it could improve banks. After a while people started to think XRP worth something and XRP community started to grow to a level where they defended XRP without even Ripple backing them, Ripple is not really marketing XRP as you can obviously see, never, only the XRP holders do that.
