Bitcoin Forum

I just found an article and here it is,

https://www.forbes.com/sites/panosmourdoukoutas/2018/03/07/ripple-could-be-the-next-bitcoin/#4dc2e64c5b39

Can anyone confirm it is helpful or is it wise to trade with XRP?

Some time ago I created a thread where I said the most difficult coin to gain money with was XRP
and to my surprise, most people lost money with XRP to, so this coin is very hard to predict, some people likes, some people hate, because it's not decentralized

I'll never buy any XRP again because os this, but if you are a skilled trader, why not?

I can't think of a worse crypto asset to invest in than XRP.  There's a fool born every minute though, so you might make some money.

I personally am not sure about XRP, it's just a centralized coin and the price development is also not good. I would recommend you invest in ethereum because ethereum is much better than XRP, both in terms of platform and the potential possessed by this ethereum altcoin. consider this

The link to the article you shared is jumbled, and would not open. You should edit the post and re-share the proper URL to the article.

Nope, XRP is a terrible choice.

here is why:

XRP is WAY over valued.
It doesn't have much space to go up.
The reason why is because of the amount of circulating coins, how much the company ripple themselves hold, and the coin itself having no use or function.

Also, ripple as a company does not have sustainable business practices.
They manipulate their own coin, trump up business partnerships when there are none, and are a centrally controlled commodity trying to sell decentralization.
Don't take my word for it though, just google some of these things up.
You will find so much on Ripple as to why they aren't a good choice.

If you're planning to put your funds as a long-term investment, yes Ripple (XRP) are one of a good choice for it.
I strongly believe that Ripple price will back to it's All Time High price, even it has potential to beyond that, this is just my prediction.

You are asking a question like this "should I put my money in a bank account that uses personalized blockchain network for easy transaction". look, I'm not a financial advisor, but I can say, it's not wise to invest in XRP. Better invest in Bitcoin. 

I can't access the link you inserted, so for me investing in xrp is pretty good right now, considering that there have been many changes and improvements that are better from year to year. if you believe you want to invest, don't let negative things haunt your mind.

Investing on both bitcoin and xrp is good enough to fill your profits in the future. Do it while the price is cheaper on xrp and by the time it could rise further, you'll be able to get the opportunity that could provide us financial benefits.

Both from a technological and reliability perspective, Ripple ranks very poorly as a crypto currency.

It is in direct conflict of interest with many philosophical principles of crypto currencies, so if you are a crypto-enthusiast / proponent,

you have much better choices to invest in.

Although, I am yet to buy a single XRP since I have known about cryptocurrency, but I agree that it can be profitable if one should invest in it.
I just prefer some other cryptocurrencies  over it.

If ypu ready to wait for long term hold or have a lot of patience why not, we knows before or durant ng the bear market xrp,is one of the most dominant coins in the market that give profits to the holders.
I am also a xrp holder but I don't advise to you to invest xrp if not learn it well do your analysis and decision to avoid mistakes.

although the link is difficult to open and know exactly which article is meant, but for me investing in XRP is less profitable, but in the long run it might be possible to invest in XRP will be profitable. I think it's better to invest in another altcoin, but I'm more inclined to invest in bitcoin and ethereum

Yes, I'm also thinking to invest a different platform except EOS and XRP. Obviously,I will follow your suggestion to invest in that which has real utility.

However,I already lost my assets few times but this is the last moment for me to do something for myself in investing in crypto or do some trade. To ensure the real thing, I need to know first, that's why I'm in here.

I'm not aware to check the link because it looks strange to me.

You are free to choose an investment place to store your money as long as you have a confident the place of investment that you choose will give you profit based on your analyst. As far as I know XRP is centralized coin which is mean the price movement will be set by team itself and there will be a manipulation.

Have you try to invest in othere coin? Such as Bitcoin or litecoin? If you have a freely time you can make analyst or you can find more about centralized coin and decentralized coin and you can make a differentiates of them. So, you will answer your question by yourself even you will have an ability to ensure that the coin is potential or not if you store money on it.

ripple is one way to make a profit but do this for long terms investment, and never put all your money in one basket

Ripple is a good coin among the alts but the market right now has no regard for any alts as the market is seriously bleeding for btc surge and this will last longer due to the chart , so you only need to hold yr btc for now and watch closely the time for xrp entering.

I also choose XRP for long term holding because they are not moving very well in short term and right now they are still down. I know XRP is a good coin despite of being a centralized coin and being criticize by many, but if the banks started to adopt again XRP we can expect its price to pump. Yes, buy many coins its good if you have more than 2 coins on your wallet.

It's not been a good time for Ripple. There are many competitors to it and it has failed to achieve many things it had promised previously. It's just sticking to the price as it's one of the heavily invested crypto. It would not be a very profitable investment for the new investors.

It is everyone's choice though many are criticizing it because of being centralized but it keep fighting and make the market move. There is a future with it for sure and making it profitable but still make more investment on other potential coin, do not stick into one because having many give more opportunity and less risky for your investments.

He needs to fix the links so we can read what is in the article, I don't visit the links. It is up to you to invest in XRP or not. If you think you can make a profit from XRP, then you should buy it now, but if you feel you don't like XRP, then you don't have to buy. But for deciding to invest in XRP, you need to research more so you can get more information. Don't just follow what other people said before you research and analyze in the market because you are responsible for your money.

I do not recommend you to invest with xrp, because xrp is not a decentralized alctoin but xrp is just a centralized coin and it is difficult to grow high prices. Most of the users here also seem to disagree with it, and well consider again before you make a decision with it.

Although ripple is not a decentralized coin, however, it is very well suited as a means of payment and in some countries takes prizes among cryptocurrencies. In addition, ripple is also not bad as an investment tool. Using it in the banking sector will not allow it to depreciate, and in price it also grows after bitcoin.

Yes fixed now. Many of them suggest me not to invest in XRP, because it had failed to keep it's promise previously by doing some development of it's as roadmap.

Some people suggest me to invest either in BTC or LTC. Now I need to analysis by my own which will be good for me though I didn't do it previously for XRP. I just follow the article of Forbes.

no, shitcoins that are heavily centralized and have 100% premined have never been a good investment and will never be. they simply have no place in this decentralized world. they are doomed to die. the only reason why they have not yet disappeared is exactly because they are centralized and they are spending a lot of money to keep it alive.

these coins are however good for short term trading when they are being pumped by their owners to make profit.

if I think XRP is actually a good coin to invest this year, because the development of the new XRP tiem has also experienced good price growth, so I believe the price of XRP in some time will also provide a better price in the current year.

XRP is quite stable, Many big banks in the world use the solution of XRP so It is suitable for long-term holdings, I believe that XRP will have increased dramatically in the future.

There are several predictions that claim that certain coin may be the next Bitcoin.
And I will not take too hard about it.
However, Ripple (XRP) is a kind of promising altcoin. It is on the third rank in CoinMarketCap, having high volume and token circulation.
Moreover, you can find this altcoin in mostly every exchange in the crypto world. This also has a good chance to increase (although the price is still not stable and it is still dropped so far). But this is good enough for daily trading.

Why are there so much people that want to support centralised coins? I cannot complain because I had XRP in my portfolio as well, but what is the reason of investing in coins without limited supply and with all regulations that a normal currency as dollar.

Ripple during the past time has not had any major development, so the price increase cannot happen at this coin. I think now it is better to choose a better coin to invest because the holding of XRP will only waste you time and I have sold all XRP because I depressed while holding this coin. Now many good coins like ATOM should be the new choice in this bear market

As for me, ripple is one of the best coins for investment in the long term. XRP has been through vary hard times in the past. It got wide spread support from traders and community members only in 2017 with its price surging. Now it is performing well. So investment in the coin is a good decision.

Here, you can make the decision yourself. Most people here support Ripple, but why cannot they be mistaken? It is a centralized coin, even not a real cryptocurrency. It depends on the banks all the time, and there are too many XRP coins circulation. Ripple can fall greatly due to these reasons. I would better invest in Bitcoin, the market locomotive.

What you want to invest in is your choice. Do some research on your own and find out if this investment is worth it. Asking here can get you very confused and to make the wrong choice. So make a deep research and believe in your instincts.

There is nothing to fear in xrp 8), I invested thousands of dollars in Xrp, you have to be patient to get the coffers of profit because the movement of Xrp is a little slow, almost 1 year ago I got a lot of profits trading Xrp.  All decisions are in your hands.

I don't agree, the reasons for investing in the XRP is less for me than investing in the small marketcap altcoins. The risk/reward ratio is completely different and the required amounts will be lower for the same amount of profit. By the way, centralized coins are not safe to invest in, the risks are complex compared to the decentralized blockchain altcoins.

if you think xrp is a good alt to invest, just drop your money on xrp
but, for me its better to invest on other TOP 10 alts rather than xrp, for example BNB, Litecoin, Ethereum or EOS my friend

My top trader predicted value of XRP in next few years: 5USD per 1 coin! Because they are creating many big partnerships with big companies.

There are a lot of reason to fear in XRP actually, and one of that and the biggest reason to not invest in it is pure centralization. Why would you jump into cryptocurrency if you are choosing something similar to the bank itself? let's not talk about their nonexistent development.
everything about XRP is bad, even their supporter too. Not only trading XRP you will get profit if you are smart enough. You can get a profit in any other cryptos too.

Ripple is not a true cryptocurrency . Not good for long-term investment... If most governments decide to ban or clamp down on cryptocurrency, ripple may not survive it.  Censorship resistance, Decentralization, immutability determine the True value of Cryptocurrency, Ripple seems to lack them.

No! Don't do it. U will loose / stress yourself and eventually capitulate.

Xrp is the worst possible alt you can invest. Just buy BTC and sit on it.

XRP has been existed in crypto industry for a years and we all knew that it is one of the centralized coin here too.
If you know that the price will pump 100% you can try to buy em but remember it will be risky, but in my opinion only
there are other coins there which are better, potential and promising rather than xrp, try to look around you in crypto trading.

As XRP belong to the top ranked Altcoins in the market then i could say it is good to invest in this coin too but if you will just invest to it because you believe that it will supersede the Bitcoin then it is impossible to happen as every Altcoin is proven depending on Bitcoin movement therefore do not expect a huge earning like you invested directly in Bitcoin as most of the predictions are proven to fail.

I invested a lot of money in XRP and I never managed to get them back! So I don't recommend Ripple XRP!

Ripple currently does not bring any profit to investors and this makes the coin panic sell during the past time. I think XRP will be very hard to get back to the price of $1 and that certainly won't happen this year so it's best to invest in a new good coin better. I personally used to love this coin but the price could not increase in the past 1 year made me feel disappointed about this investment.

Not bad my friend.All along ripple is good investment in the article says"its faster transaction speed and lower fees make it easier for financial system to enhance the virtual currency which is partly why ripples value has increased dramatically just this year."

I don't think XRP is as potential as it used to be. Indeed ripple has advantages in terms of transaction speed but now there are still many coins that are better than ripple. I would advise you to invest in eth or bnb rather than investing in ripple. I think the popularity and existence of the ripple is starting to erode due to the high level of competition between crypto currencies that is increasingly trying to get a place in the hearts of crypto currency fans.

This is not the first time I am reading such articles, which promote XRP. Ripple enjoys support from a wide array of individuals and organizations (including major banks). But I have never considered it as a true cryptocurrency, due to its centralized nature. Its political muscle has enabled it to become the third largest cryptocurrency currently in circulation. But that hasn't helped its adoption and acceptability. Coins such as LTC and BCH remains more popular than XRP, despite having a smaller market capitalization.

all have future goals and the XRP coin community and team they are trying to give their best and plan many things for.
to be interested or not, we as traders must be keen to analyze things for the future.
in my view XRP coins are very difficult to predict. I and many others lost money when buying XRP. I won't buy it again, I think it's better to see a coin that is better than this coin.

Fundamentally Ripple is a very good Project. Technically it is not a good coin. The price of XRP has reached $1 mark only once in 2017 and to date, it is hovering around the same price range of $0.21 to $0.45. I would not recommend anybody to invest in it as there are other coins within the price range that have a more promising price future. For instance, Kucoin's native token is more promising than Ripple. Atomic wallet coin has a very bright and promising future.

I always believe in investing in a cryptocurrency that can earn you profit within a year, not for twenty years.

By all indication, XRP is a good pick, but should be for long term investment but before buying, do more research about it, it's better you are buying because you are convinced it's worth it than following people's advice. Do your own research.

XRP has remained stable over the past few months, and its price cannot go down any further. XRP is in the accumulation phase and I recommend you invest some in XRP. Maybe in the next few months XRP will have a powerful pump

it is not impossible, XRP may go down in price again. even all altcoin also has the possibility to go down too. it all depends on how the market moves. if it is on an uptrend it will be difficult, and if in a downtrend there will definitely be a decline.

why not, if you believe to investing in XRP then you better invest in XRP now before the price rises and make you regret, then in my opinion XRP is one of the best altcoin to be an investment at this time, because XRP ever beat Ethereum, therefore I am sure someday the price of XRP will definitely increase very high and of course the possibility of XRP can defeat Ethereum again is very large.

you can definitely got huge profit on the investment on xrp but right now we need to wait for long time that is the only problem available in this investment otherwise if you don't care about the long term investment then it will be definitely suitable for you.

Though I have no plan for ATOM. According to your analysis, I will take a look on it. I am also searching some new platform to trade except BCH,LTC,DASH etc. Thanks for your recommendation 👍

it totally up to you which you will choose to invest or which you will like most preferable to trade. But in my opinion,I can say to avoid XRP because it had failed to reach it's roadmap before and there has almost same price range in the last few months. So you can move if you don't put your money into it.

Xrp is not in the best shape now , and so far I do not see growth in this coin , I think you should look only when the coin will have a market reversal , I think after the breakout of $ 14,000 in bitcoin.

Yes, XRP is one of the top coins that has barely increased since the beginning of this year, while other top coins like LTC or ETH have increased 3 to 4 times. So you can risk part of your fund on it.

You should do more research aside from this basis, it's your money that you need to take care so make sure that it will give you some enlightenment while trying to figured out whether to invest in or not, XRP can go high as what happened last 2017 pumped but also can fall more if there's no interested investors to hold and support the project.

Do it if you are going to invest any money but do it with your own personal research, not with people's comments. Because money is your money and you will be responsible for the loss.

I have nothing specific against XRP, but I do not like this whole project. However, I must admit that you can earn by investing in it.

I don't have an analysis of XRP coins if you have personal analysis and believe that it will provide future benefits, why not?
I have read many comments above and among the pros and cons for each reason, so prioritize your own analysis and determine your decision

I don't believe in any article that said something could be the next bitcoin.
Cause every coin that made till now just could not do it,
In XRP's case, I think it's good to invest, but don't hope it will replace bitcoin.

RXRP is one of my favourite coin to hold, they faster network and huge adoption. but i dont believe that ripple can be next bitcoin, but i believe that ripple can be bigcoin and-or stable coin. No doubt ripple will become number 2 in market capital. In other side ripple have a chance to become real stable coin in next 5 years

yes i think it will a good investment for you , because most of whales have mensioned that this coin will be reached to a higher price in the future .. and it has the fastest network , so in the future xrp will use instead of eth for do the  transaction..

With recent responses of altcoins againts bitcoin movements, I think that investors, whom have interests and plans to invest in altcoins, they should consider long term investments in altcoins. It is difficult to get profits from altcoins in short term, but in the long term aspect, I do belief that investors will not get losses if they determinantly invest in altcoins, and hold them till the end days of this year, or early months of 2020. If altcoins won't recover at the end months of 2019, they will do recover in early months of next year, when crypto market will come into bull run with bitcoin halving.

I don't think the article will help raise the price of XRP or ETH. But it will help these altcoin hold holders more confident. Because when compared to Bitcoin, they have a lot of potential for price increases in future

Putting money in xrp is just like you saving your money on tether without expecting any profit in return. Many people are judging it by its previous rise which was the same way many other coin rose as a result of bull run of all altcoins, so bitcoin can only increase through bull run, and you know that, most bull run value does not always last in the market and I even don’t a little if the bull run of this year will affect xrp.

If you see many people taking of ripple and advising people to invest in it is just because they already made a mistake of investing in it, and what would you expect from them rather than for them to just continue to promote the coin so it can witness growth for their investment to be able to yield result and not because it as much use case.

Xrp is the fourth largest cryptocurrency according to the coin market cap, and that implies that the project is solid, but due to the nature of the quantity in circulation, its not going to be a lucrative source of investment, in the short run. I'll advise you only invest in xrp, if you're willing to hold it for long term as the value its trading presently is not likely to have a substantial change anytime soon.

To trade - yes, to hold - hardly. Trading may be good because this coin has sufficient liquidity. I do not think that investing in this is a good idea, as it is an asset that depends on a small number of people. They can play vs the majority, including against you.

Every investment is a a function of risk taken, base on the information getting from some where, hence to invest on XRP for Holding in a long time, is a very good idea, which can be more profitable in the future.

though I am not a big fan of centralized currency this is the right time to buy XPT because of its low price and make some profit.

I have it but not for long. Because the market movement of XRP itself is not so I can predict. I see movement from bitcoin is better. so I'm switching to bitcoin now.

That is your choice to make. You should study the xrp to see if it is worth investing into. Do your research on the team and the major specifics of the project to avoid being misled.

i dont know about investing in this , i did then,  only my bad was, i bought it at highest price, after my buy it felt down like a brick... :'(
now i am hoping on reviving ...

probably i lost on this also ...
 

You should make decision by yourself. I think that the best crypto investment - btc. If btc goes up - all other crypto too. XRP didnt have any significant grow in recent months

investing in xrp might be an option, but if you look at it now xrp might not have a significant price development yet and maybe xrp is now waiting for the market pump in the future. so I don't think it's a problem if you want to put money in xrp because xrp has good potential and reputation in crypto

in my opinion XRP is good enough to be used as an investment, but I don't like XRP because this coin uses
a centralized system, to be honest I do not invest or trade on this coin
you better invest or trade in other coins, I advise you to invest in bitcoin for investments that you will do

You must learn a lot from there dude, i remember almost all of my friends have been loosing a lot in this one consider when it was going up  and they were thinking if that will increase even more but they didn't do any research for that dude.
XRP is not a good investment anymore and there was a lot of better platform that offers much more utility usage.

i had just bad luck with this coin.... all because the research ;) i did research this , and first i was sceptic, and when it began to rose, i panicly bought a lot of , didnt sell it wit profit ( cause i was sooooo greedy) , so endit up wit bad invest ;) heck  i made so many bad invest , i can bounce my head to tho wall, the most coins who real f*cked me were f*cking Maternode coins ......

I have never bought or traded ripple before but my opinion is that anybody that wants to buy ripple should research it very well to be sure it will be worthwhile because I learnt the team dumped a large amount of coins within a small space of time.

Xrp is a long term hodl for me, pretty cheap at the moment when comparing to its all time high. They seem to be rolling out events that could raise the price in time to come, and also it is gaining adoption especially for cross border transaction between financial institutions.

I also believe that Ripple will still cost more than $ 2. The project team is very strong and influential. I also plan to invest in Ripple in the future.

Over my life, I have come across so many different articles with news that turned out to be a fake. I do not advise you to believe the news about cryptocurrencies.
In addition, I'm already tired of hearing about the coins that are about to defeat Bitcoin and take its place. How many of these appear every day? Ripple is of course a popular coin, but he will not succeed.

XRP doesn't need to fight against BTC, both coins have a different purpose. XRP has a lot of good news last couple of months, but it doesn't' reflected on price. Maybe the current market situation is a root cause of this, but let's wait a bit more.

xrp lately a little gives some news , for some reason I ceased to love this coin , but when there will be news then I think it will be possible to buy them , but at the moment it is better not to invest.

I'm not a believer of XRP as long term project, as I think it will not be around for too long. I find safer to invest in it for short term purposes alone, and $3 is long shot for XRP, to be very honest.

XRP is one of the best coin available Ain the market. It is holding position 3 in the market with a huge market. But many people in the blockchain ecosystem don't like XRP for its centralised side. Its a product backed by the banks so it is kind of centralised. But if you just see it as a project it's great. Its always keep its project alive and developed the project with great responsibilities. The one of the product called xraoid is highly appreciated form the ecosystem. I think XRP is good for long term investment if yiu pick it up in a great price.

If you are looking for long-term investment, XRP is a good option if not great. According to me, it is not the smartest choice. But, if you want t earn a definite profit; you might want to consider some other altcoin such as Ethereum. 

Exactly, we can hope for the future for their further development. If they fail again then XRP price will dump more. People are very conscious now a days and very careful. So it is already cleared about XRP trading

It is now clear that many of us already got nothing from XRP but it's position is still good in crypto currency ranking. By the way, you already specified some criteria why it will not be a good one for future hopefully. It will be helpful for the beginners also.

XRP won't survive for long, Just make profits in shot-term and get in BTC or popular/good altcoins for long-term. Decentralization is the key, Anything that is Centralized will not thrive.

short term or long term, it all still depends on how the market updates and responses are increasing. whereas XRP does look to have a pretty good trade but in demand that is not so good. the developer must strive to increase XRP requests.

xrp seems like a stable coin i find it quite difficult to get profits when investing in xrp,and I personally think xrp is more suitable for short-term trading buying at lower prices and selling as soon as possible when rising, because xrp is not like other altcoin that can go up fast and go down dramatically.

XRP like every other altcoins, is also falling not only in dollar price, but also the satoshi value is decreasing. Well, looking at that, you might feel like taking the risk and to see what may likely happen. You never can tell if the bottom has been reached and that it is ready to take off.

The article you shared states that XRP can be next Bitcoin which is impossible as BTC id decentralised and XRP is centralised this only point is enough to hold BTC over XRP. If you are trader then for short period of time for booking profit you can buy ripple with bitcoin (https://coinswitch.co/coins/bitcoin/bitcoin-to-ripple). But, centralised are not my choice for long term.

Most recently, the bank, the owner of the main volume of Ripple, threw a large volume of these coins onto the market, which immediately affected their price for the worse. I don’t understand how it is possible to manage the investors of your coin and reduce the value of your coin so quickly. After such an event, I decided to never invest in Ripple again and I will advise everyone to follow my example.

I'm not sure XRP will be the next bitcoin. With the amount of supply reaching billions and also the team holding XRP in large numbers, it is difficult to compete with bitcoin in price or market cap value. Maybe XRP is a good investment because it has a lot of partnerships with various banks, but I'm sure XRP is difficult to compete with bitcoin

Investing in Ripples is actually a bad choice. we ourselves know that at the moment the price of the ripple is also experiencing a pretty good price increase. and the most important thing is that you yourself in the ripple must understand very well about what the benefits will be when investing ripple

I advise you not to invest in XRP, many people hate XRP and that includes me, coins that have made me spend a lot of money. I am really not sure this coin will develop from the beginning of the appearance of this coin does not have a good development and the price is decreasing, so many people are disappointed because investing in XRP coins, you have to choose a coin.

I guess that it will depend on every people. If they think that investing in XRP is a good idea, then they will buy XRP right now while the price still at a low price. But if they don't like to invest in XRP, then they will not buy XRP, and they will buy the other altcoin. As long as you can analyze why should buy XRP or not, you can buy it anytime or choose the other coins. I only suggest not to follow other people suggestion if you don't analyze by yourself because you don't know if, in the future, the price can increase.

I personally consider investing in xrp too risky, from my personal experience, I have invested my money several times in this coin, but it's always a loss, even though xrp is often hit by positive news but it doesn't seem to affect the xrp price increase, even xrp often has decreased price after that :'-(

My advice is better to choose a bitcoin or ethereum investment to be an investment asset.

Same like me, i have bad experience related trading with XRP. If in totaly, i lose $2000. Even that lose i get after I do a cut loss when xrp has decreased.

---

maybe is better for you to invest in other coin right now like ETH, BTC, LTC or else cause like all members here says XRP is very difficult to predict

Xrp is a pretty successful currency in the electronic money market, you can see that XRP is just behind Bitcoin and ETH. Currently the price of xrp is very cheap. So in my opinion, investing in XRP at this time is very feasible, it can bring you a big profit

I do not know. I do not think that this coin can bring big profit to the investor in the future. Traders do not hold large stocks of these coins at home. More decentralized projects should attract attention. To make a profit a lot more.

What success, Bro? XRP did not show a significant price increase, it even tended to go down. We all know that XRP has a lot of cooperation with banks in various countries, but in reality this is totally unable to increase the price of XRP.  So in my opinion, XRP is not a successful Crypto coin. The price is still far when compared with Ethereum, let alone Bitcoin.

coin xrp one coin that is difficult to predict its path,in the past year many people have fallen on xrp hoping that xrp will have a pump at the end of the year,in fact it was a dump,chances are now many do not like xrp and few like xrp I myself also don't like buying xrp coins that are difficult to guess at rates

Its quite unpredictable to know that coin XRP is profitable or not but everything is risk taking in cryptocurrency and there's a saying that the risky investment generates more profits.

You need to be careful with XRP, unfortunately, it has continue to disappoint even with its potentials. Its growth is highly unstable and unpredictable causing traders and investors to lose a whole lot. XRP as a cryptocurrency still has a long way to go and I however think, it will come good in the long run. Only invest what you can afford to lose if things don't go according to plan.

I don't think that  suggestions made by people here on this forum are not really accurate in terms of investment advise and what to invest in. Any crypto coin is worth investing in, all that you need is to spend some time reading and researching more about crypto investment and the principle behind it. Gaining knowledge will help you know the possible profit margin of your investment. XRP currently is good to invest in considering the state of the crypto market now...  

I think ripple as a coin will do well if used as a stable coin with a fixed price because the price has been steady in one position for some time now. so if you are looking to make money off it, just know it might not be a great idea

My personal opinion is to use the XRP as an investment tool for adding a portfolio in case of unexpected flash news come and change the price. Combo coins are a great idea for diversifying the altcoin portfolio but having top coins should be at least 30% of the total crypto portfolio.

For short term trading, it has a great price velocity. Intraday traders can trade the XRP market swings on the small time frames. Otherwise, investors will not choose the XRP instead of other potential altcoins.

Most people who are investing in XRP are losing money. I think it won't cost too much because so many people are hoarding it.

investing your funds in xrp I'm not sure, my advice is better to choose only the bitcoin or ethereum because there are already many people investing in both coins, indeed at this time the xrp movement has begun to recover, I don't think it will last too long

Ripple is one of the top coins, so investing in it makes sense. However, all investors should remember that Ripple has a large number of coins in stock at the bank that issued it, which is fraught with abuse and the release of a new number of coins on the market that will reduce the price.

Ripple is not a decentralized coin, Ripple is just a centralized coin and the price is always moving at a fixed price or there is no good change in price. if you use the Ripple coins for investment, I would not recommend them, it's better if you use altcoin LTC or some other decentralized coins like ethereum etc.

maybe an article made about the prediction of XRP will be a bitcoin next is positive news that continues to be spread to make XRP prices get better. XRP also has many world bank partners as partners. to make a lot of money from XRP you need to be patient, if you want to invest in XRP at least it's longterm and have to analyze where XRP goes next.

yeah i do also notice that  . the article that op posted is one of the hundreds of articles that claims to be xrp is a coin that have the potential to become the next bitcoin but i dont believe them but i believe on what most people are saying because those people are the ones that have use xrp and not those writers that might only being paid to write an article .  i hear so many negative feedbacks about xrp but still xrp is standing strong and xrp is still one those top cryptos these days  .

I believed that XRP is a good coin to hold for the long run but I have watched some Youtube videos regarding XRP and after watching them, I realized that it is not a good coin to hold. Their main target is the banks which is the main enemy of crypto (looks like a movie :D).

Ripple is good for mid term only for me but if you will buy some altcoins, I think you should not invest it on Ripple. XRP has been launched a long time ago but until now, their main purpose isn't fulfilled yet. To be used by banks although they believe that banks will use XRP on the future.

I think that XRP was a good coin, perhaps there are also many investors who gain profit from investing in XRP ripple coin as it starts in a very low value coin, until rises up and in the long run XRP goes with good trading volume. I think that XRP ripple coin would show good performance in the future since it is on the top coins in the coinmarketcap.

I haven´t heard any big news about Ripple recently. In 2017 you have heard about Ripple almost every week, but now? I only know that they have some big partnerships, but noone is really using XRP token.

Cryptocurrencies were created in order to give freedom to people and they could overcome their dependence on banks. Ripple - again returns you to the bank and you become very dependent on it, because the bank very seriously affects the value of this coin. Like banks - invest in Ripple.

XRP is one of the top rated coin in the market. It is currently at the position 3 with a huge market cap. And there is a full board of chance that it can grow very big in future. But the main problem regarding XRP is it is fully backed by banks. So it is not a fully decentralized project. But of you see it just as a project the XRP is one of the best one. Cause they deliver what they said and in time. They have some big partners and a scope to sprade. So if you are OK with the facts you can go with it. Its really a very good investment in my opinion.

At the moment, I can say that ripple is not visible bullish market, the coin continues to fall, I think you should just watch the coin and watch if we break the downward movement it will be possible to go , and this situation as it is now can negatively say on your balance.

I am not sure because there are many pros and cons in ripple, such as the Ripple Community is angry because ripple coins are always be add making the market dump, on the other hand the Team aims to prevent market manipulation. many collaborating with well-known companies such as Moneygram, Chartered, American Express, Santander etc. but the price has not yet risen.

When i hear or read article with tittle "Can blabla replace btc?" I think this tittle really funny. I dont know what they think about it. I dont underestimate but i think all is need long journey,btc is like superior and pioneer.

Everything back to you, are you ready to invest in XRP ?. What I like about XRP is that the XRP system has been created with extraordinary thinking to minimize the percentage of online fraud and fraud in the online world.

If the supply of XRP keeps increasing, then it might not be safe to invest in it, because you never can tell when it is likely going to dump or even fold up.
Although for XRP to have been able to be at the position it is not, a coin that has been coming from a long way, it shows that it has the tendency to last longer.

Tried to figure it out which much higher profitability XRP or Bitcoin or with BNB and ETH. We are not just talking about what we can get for a short term but instead to look for a long term period.  If that you see that XRP is much profitable with you,  then you must go for it.  We all have different appreciation toward XRP and for me... I won't keep XRP..

XRP has good potential, but for me it doesn't always last long because in my opinion it isn't suitable but I prefer ETH and BTC, as long-term investments.

XRP is still a best coin in the coinmarketcap and its ranking in number 3 so yes if someone want to invest then they can.

yes you should invest now in XRP coin because this coin is very high potential so i'm sure its price will increase in the next few years so i'm sure that when the price of XRP coin goes up the profits of all the investors here.

XRP has a large community and is in the top 3 coin marketcap so that liquidity is huge. I have had several XRPs for some time but I have already sold them. At the moment I prefer other altcoins due to several factors but I think the current XRP price is quite cheap against bitcoin

It is the shittiest of shitcoins.

Ripple Corp. owns more than half of the coin supply and with that they manipulate the market price to whatever they want.

It seems like many people lose money when investing in XRP. Seeing the current downward trend in prices, there could be many people who lost their money. People think that Ripple and XRP are the same when it's a different matter. Some banks use Ripple but don't use XRP

I think investing in XRP may be safe, but it will not yield good returns, XRP is the worst performing coin since the beginning of this year, and the XRP team is holding a huge amount of XRP every month. Unlocked 1 billion XRP for sale. I will not invest much in XRP

I still hold and buy about $50 every month, I think XRP is the best coin after bitcoin and ethereum, it is certainly worthy of us to make the main choice of investment, I'm sure that XRP's performance will continue to improve so buying now is certainly profitable.

I don't think that XRP could be the next bitcoin, many people says it is not good for long term investment, because they can manipulate and too much coin supply it will not increase for long term.

why do you think xrp is the best after btc and eth ??  what makes xrp so valuable ??
eth has his platform , btc (also scamcoins) has nothing but its the first of his kind ;)

and xrp ??? what has this

For me XRP doesn't have any value in investing because the coin only has dropped and there hasn't been any price improvement this year so I'm sure it will be hard to profit from this coin. In fact, most banks are only interested in Ripple technology because it is really good for large transactions and is being applied a lot at big banks in Japan. Also XRP is just a normal coin and not much benefit if you choose to invest

I heard opinion that ripple foundation are dumping btc almost every month. Not so good investments if this is true

My opinion is that XRP has many scandals in the team selling. The number of XRP is too many, although it has many times surpassed ethereum. However, if you think that someone who carries a lot of heavy items can go fast, you should buy it. Impossible.

I have personally some bad experiences in investing in altcoin xrp and my advice is better if you avoid altcoin xrp in investing in the market, it is better if you choose altcoin which indeed has more clear prospects in the future, such as eth, eos or usdt which is indeed in the last few months the price has strengthened in the market

This is a forbes contributor article. i.e. the writer pays forbes to get audience for his voice and the matter expressed in such article are entirely personal of the contributor. Such contributors takes money from businesses to talk about them. Thus, it's a paid promotion.
Now the question comes why is Ripple paying for it's promotion at this moment? There are many red flags going on about Ripple team, https://cointelegraph.com/news/ripple-transfers-500-million-xrp-from-its-escrow-wallet
And this could be the last attempts to move the price so that they'd be able to dump in a good price.

In my opinion its best to buy xrp right now while the price is still down. They have partnered with banks and recently they have partnered with moneygram. I believe Ripple will make a good comeback in the market in this coming months with does good new and partnership its a BIG YES  ;)

LOL. There is an announcement that another billion of supply will be added to the market and the ripple team has promised that they will not make a huge dump from it and I don't personally believe that. As usual, the team need funds and the best way to get that is to sell their tokens right away so I feel saddened that the xrp fanboys will always defend it no matter what happen.

I Think Ehtrium Is good But i Also Think XRP Is not Bad. XRP Is Stable Coin. It Alraedy Popular Coin And It Creat a Good Market. Huge Investor Like XRP. XRP Is Leading Coin In CoinMarketcap. The Future Of XRP Is Well. So I Think XRP Is Best For Investment, There has No Dought.

bro don't buy XRP its not a cryptocurrency

Yes, if you really want to invest for a long time, I recommend to invest in top 10 cryptocurrencies including XRP. Because that project has already built and well made and it's also a successful project so that no need to worry if we invest in this project. There are many people who are investing in it not only you so you can do without hesitation.

Although until now XRP is still in order number three at https://coinmarketcap.com/. I dare not invest in this coin. Seeing the market conditions is now very different from the year 2018, although nowadays almost all coins are trying to ride back. When holding a coin that occurs the price of the coin drops, and when the Bitcoin price is pumping high, Altcoin does not rise. I would rather invest in Bitcoin than in XRP. Bitcoin dominates the crypto market.

no, i don't think XRP is one of those good alts that can bring you big profits. I suggest you invest in ETH or EOS.
From now on, investing in technology companies is a right decision. because investors tend to want to invest more in technology companies. and there will be a lot of technology investors in the future, when it is a trend, you will see your investment account greatly increase.

Why people hated the ripple "XRP" some says it was not decentralized but the truth is if you compare XRP price to the other cryptocurrency in the market that almost the same supply it was clear as sunshine that XRP still more stable compare to ADA, Stellar and othe huge supply coins thats why IMHO i dont care if XRP is not decentralized all i care is to trade with a promising volume and competitive price no doubt XRP is one of them.

As practice shows, there is nothing better than investing in Bitcoin. All coins, even Ripple directly depend on Bitcoin.

I would consider myself a fool if i invested in XRP but yes i can invest a little while and get some profit. Since then i have never been reliable for XRP investments so here i do not want to excite myself.

I don't think it makes sense to invest in a project I don't believe in, even if it's just to make a profit with trading. I never trusted XRP. And I've never bought an XRP. Although I have foreseen that the price will rise sometimes!

Nobody should throw a fortune in XRP, that's a fact. I earned a lot of money when XRP spiked in 2017, I sold everything I have at $3, I still remember. Now thing's looks so different, XRP and all big promises didn't succeed to hold the price, it's dropped hard. I have some XRP, I bought it just in case, but I don't have high hopes, to be honest. XRP community looks like army in combat, team still make huge promises, some partnerships, but nothing seems to affect the price.
Who ever plan to invest in XRP should do it now when price is at bottom, but only what you can afford to lose, with XRP you need to play smart.

I will keep away with that XRP thing and will invest more to Ethereum oor Bitcoincash.
I can see a brighter future with other tokens that this one.
Ripple will go high if and only if BTC will have their new ATH. xrp always depends on the rise of BTC.

Trade of XRP is interesting idea and I am not see neathing bad in this idea. A lot of exchanges offer different trading pairs to XRP. This is pump coin and has a huge potential for growing. Another reason is partnership with different banks.

ALL IN XRP

Ripple partners with banks, but the token has nothing to do with it. But ripple trading is interesting because this coin is very volatile

The position of XRP on coinmarketcap. which is the third-ranked coin, means that it is good for investment. Normally, if a coin falls between the top five or ten coins, it can be recommended, because it means that it is one of those that have long term prospects. Any improvement in the space will also affect lit positively.

nope, there's alot of coins is better than XRP. if you see it this coin price is going down by the time and hard to pump.i suggest you better go invest on bitcoin, ether, cardano

Ripple XRP, has been one of the most disappointing altcoin since the turn of the year continuously towing a bearish line with no indications of changing any time soon. This has presented a massively volatile situation for traders and investors, ripple doesn't show any sign of recovery for now and it is almost certain that, this isn't the best time to invest in XRP. Unless conditions change, I advice anyone to hold off for now.

I hope you know most of this publications are sponsored right? XRP has done well in the past but the sad truth is that the market has lost interest in most of this coins.. I cant foresee it replacing bitcoin anytime soon

I don't think holding will help you make a good profit from this coin because XRP doesn't really bring much value in investment and the large supply is the only reason I feel a bit worried. The advice now is to choose a good growth time to sell all XRP because this coin will never be able to return to the $1 price. My prediction is wrong, but if you have the basic knowledge then you will have to know what to do with this investment

Lol ... no. Xrp is not even a cryptocurrency. It is fully centralized,  being manipulated by the ones who hold most of the tokens.

Crypto was born specifically to be an alternative for centralized systems and this is exactly what Xrp is not.

hahahahahhhahahahahahahahahahhaha look at this poster, you do realise that bitcoiners paid people to tell exactly this lie? You are just repeating  a 5 year old lie BUT you dont get paid or anything for it


HAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHHAHAHAAHAAHAA

After XRP reached the price of $ 3 and is now under $ 0.4, I think XRP is one investment that is detrimental to many investors. In an article I read some time ago, the owner of XRP holds more than 30% of the total supply and I think this can be a boomerang for investors

I once read somewhere that eirifiurm and butterscoin are 70% produced in china, could be a boomerang for investors buying that unscalable crap

If you want to be profitable in the future. I recommend against investing in XRP. Because XRP has an endless supply and its price will not go up, choose other altcoins and hold

just a reminder that investing has ups and down, you gain and lost something in the process
if you want to invest in anything money and time, you should be ready for what ever is going to happen
because its not gonna be easy for everyone, you need time effort and a lot of patience
because you're gonna need a lot of that , if you invest late 2018 im sure you have experience
to lost a lot, what I can suggest to you is invest what you can afford to loose

XRP, this is a very controversial coin, sometimes it seems to me that it does not depend on bitcoin at all and these partnerships with banks do not bode well, it feels like they specifically keep the price of the coin at a certain level for their own benefit, although there were already a lot of points when he could grow up. It feels like all the coins will go up in price at the time of a serious increase in bitcoin and xrp will remain in place.

With the condition of XRP prices continuing to fall against bitcoin, in my opinion it is better to wait for the right moment if you want to invest in XRP. Many other altcoins are better and have better potential than XRP even though XRP liquidity is greater.

From what we have seen over this few months
Crypto lending has become a thing

So there's kinda an initiative to invest and hold into certain coins and lock in to earn interest
For coins like XRP which have tons of controversy, XRP price has been dropping from $0.50 since End of June till now where its price is at $0.25 which is almost 50% off

XRP is one of the coin that traditional remittance would look at if they wanted to venture into the industry
Hence, if you believe XRP could be something and stand out in the market
No harm holding and include it in your portfolio

I also think the same thing with you, but from my point of view why xrp can occupy the 10th position in cmc, while for the price of xrp can not get a significant price. so I think maybe the thing like you talked about actually happened. I think it should be used as one of the discussions for the price of XRP

Nobody who invested in XRP should look for high profit because of it nature. But am happy to announce that, I made some good profits with XRP investment on a long-term. For now am not too sure if there is such opportunity in XRP investment again like before.

yes you should still invest in XRP coin even though its price is low now because the value of XRP coin is very high so i'm sure that over time the price of XRP coin will increase.

Not recommended as of now.. the value is too high for its supply. XML is a better choice though, supported by IBM itself.

I would stay away from investments now. On September 19, Ripple needs to answer in court on charges of trading in illegal securities. Another lawsuit has been filed against the company from investors in XRP, who demand to equate cryptocurrency to shares.

If Ripple is unable to fight back the charges, then those who have sued will take their money and maybe even with a good percentage. Everyone else will be in an extremely deplorable situation because exchanges can begin mass delisting of XRP so as not to mess with regulators.

for me it's still better to lead bitcoin than any other coin dyn like XRP coin because Bitcoin is still the leader today.

XRP stole bit coins dream.... the rest is history

Moneygram going live with XRP that unbelievable!!!!!

Next up WesternUnion 3..2..1..

After several years of studying cryptocurrencies, I realized that this is too short a time to talk about the value of a particular cryptocurrency in the long term. I think that all such articles serve only to manipulate the opinions of buyers and sellers. In fact, only time will tell what is really waiting for a particular cryptocurrency, as well as the entire market.
