at the current state of ripple or what we called xrp
we see it move from .2 to .3 the situation is unclear wethear this coin has what it takes to compete or even go toe to toe with bitcoin
there are some news that xrp is now communicating with some remittance abroad to try to show how fast xrp is , but will this also help the price to rise to even like 5$ im not really sure what will happen in the past few days but im positive with the news I read
what do you think ? feel free to give your opinion

That news just a rumour and nothing to be proved by the ripple team. The recent movement of ripple price caused by a little bullish trend has come for altcoin to fight with the bitcoin domination in the market dude and you must see that.
If ripple is very fast and why bankers are choosing R3 rather than use ripple chain?
Billions ripple will come to the market soon.

Xrp has a very large and strong community, I know some of them are extremely passionate xrp, Plus the XRP team will not sell more XRP by the end of this year. That makes me confident that XRP will have an impressive growth later this year.

Hope that BTC will stay on top, because in my opinion a centralised coin without a limited supply, does not deserve to be even in top 10 ranking from coinmarketcap, but for some strange reasons crypto community is still supporting XRP.

XRP is not entirely a cryptocurrency! It is more like a digital version of Western Union who is trying to gain some prominence in the digital remittance market. XRP team has been pitching their products to a lot of money exchanger, Banks since a long time now.

If I am not mistaken, ripple has already struck partnerships with Unionbank or Philippines and Moneygram at the beginning of 2018. But it didn't help ripple in any way. Don't even think that Ripple has the capacity to compete with bitcoin.

$5? it's struggling to get out of $0.3 so how come that it will hit $5 because of the updates that it has to offer? Let it be alone, Ripple for Ripple and bitcoin is bitcoin.
Don't compare these two coins and stop thinking that any coin can go toe to toe. With a huge circulating supply it has, the all-time high that it has reached before was due to the hype.

judging by the situation of ripple or xrp , im still also having doubts on it, but im holding a small amount just to make sure, yes they have partners in the philippines even coinsph also have xrp wallets
lots of them have good point of view on xrp future specially when it reach $3 almost hit $4 , but what I think hit ripple hard is the lawsuits they been through, and fails to depend it and yes speculations makes the price go up momentarily but goes down after

We don't need to give hope that Bitcoin will still at the top cause it always be and we know its capability since before. How XRP did lately is a way to give hopes that it will trigger the other altcoins to move also more than enough that they show last week or months.

Well, it has to appreciate how XRP doing like this and the team but being as one of the decentralized coins, we can't expect that it will go much higher when there is no market bull run.

We know that altcoin has not been moving well for a long time and there have not been any significant changes.
Even though there is altcoin growing well like XRP etc., but it doesn't look maximal yet. Will there be changes in the coming weeks / months? I feel it all depends on bitcoin.

Who knows because you know now adays  there are some  factors that  always suddenly occur just to manipulate the growth rate which is without knowing because of being so volatile as well. So on this case for me we are not really sure if there's a high possibility that this positive speculation will happen in the future.  Wherein perhaps much better to wait for more results and we need to keep monitoring the chart to assure we are in a right speculation and thoughts despite of this situation.

This is the best opinion I read so far. XRP will never be on top because it just contradicts the law of cryptocurrency which is decentralization. this coin have a very strong community that possibly can trigger the bull run. but usually every alts bull run started when the bitcoin price makes a move. So in conclusion XRP will have a bull run, when the bitcoin trigger it. Does it gonna be on top? I think totally not. For me the possible coin that will replace the bitcoin on top is the ETH or EOS.

XRP is centralized but not backed up by other centralized coins so the prices will keep increase when its usage increase but I don't think people will use XRP for longer terms so you can consider it for short term investing.

$5? Don't hope that much yet even talking with .5 is already hard to consider and come to think the entire supply of XRP itself.
It wont really come to such state. Talking about surpassing bitcoin which is hard to believe.Why not xrp try to beat up first ETH to its 2nd spot?
They had able to do it but its only temporal yet ETH do able to reclaim that spot.For now this centralized coin is just right to remain its current spot or even lower I guess.

i dont see any good reason at all that xrp will beat bitcoin not today not tomorrow. xrp is trying hard in terms of their adoption but seems that they are not progressing at the pace they want.
and getting the popularity level of BTC? i seriously doubt that. how many crypto users are using xrp vs btc for their daily tx?  your guess is good as mine

$5 will be difficult to reach in a short time unless there are many updates for ripple so it could give a chance for the price to increase. Without any significant update, it seems it's difficult for ripple to increase even for breaking $1. If there is a big pump which comes in the market, the price will increase, but I am not sure that the price will stay like a real price because when the pump is over, the price will be back to the normal price. But I doubt if xrp can compete with bitcoin even xrp is hard to compete with the other coin which has the same price.

The market is down and this is the right time for XRP to show some power but it looks like its dumping hard too so I think it will be impossible for XRP to arrive at top of the altcoins since ETH is still better. In short term run XRP will just like the other altcoins who keeps on beating and trying to survive, long term price should be high.

At this current situation I can't expect altcoins good time as of now even xrp, we the altcoins are now bleeding their price at the coin market cap even also the king of crypto(bitcoin) experience the price drop value at this time so much better to wait a good timing before i give speculation.

yes bitcoin is down and all altcoin is down too. for the present situation it will be difficult to see the growth of XRP or other assets. we must wait for the movement and growth of bitcoin to be able to see altcoin start moving in the market.

XRP will never replace bitcoin on the first position ever,but it can reach second place and replace eth forever

Bitcoin will always be number one. Ripple is just the coin (not crypto) that is good for bank operations now. They say it can even replace SWIFT and Western Union. Thus, its price is not supposed to climb up, but the market capitalization can grow. I would use XRP,  but not for investments (I do not think that here we can win much soon), but for personal exchanges and transactions.

Definitely not! It is just because altcoins are just relying upon Bitcoin performance. It is just to see that Bitcoin never good as well and its turning slow-moving. However, Bitcoin can manage to hold at $10k range since the 2nd quarter which is good enough to hold the entire market for not drowning hard.
I have noticed that XRP has a good rallying price in a few days past but do we expect that it is competing for Bitcoin? Or it is just another hype bringing XRP alive? Nothing has to expect great for XRP and much more to see it moving in the top.

Good luck comparing a centralized shit coin with bitcoin, no one in their right mind will think that any replica or centralized coins will over take bitcoin when it comes to reputation and price in a very long time, i am not talking about market capital, you can have a billion coins and can achieve a huge market cap but the real value lies in bitcoin and there is no coin in the market that will surpass that in your life time  :P.

I guess ripple is tired of manipulation now, and they are ready for some natural pump, because I believe that all this while, it is because they have chosen to regulate the market themselves, which is the reason we don’t see much growth in them because there is no real volume, maybe now that the want to start partnering with some top companies like you mentioned here, something could change.

But even at that it may still be quite hard for them to have growth because many people already have the mentality that the coin is being controlled by banks, and people are also running from its decentralized nature, it may be fast in transaction because there is still no much traffic, but what about people's data which bitcoin is meant to protect still being exposed to the government, so there would not be much difference between a non-crypto user and a crypto user.

Please consider XRP is centralized coin and the devs has a thousand of XRP in their wallet which is mean it could be when the price up but sooner there will be decrese again because they will sell at the high price.

But if you curious to this coin you can spend a little money to buy it and see what will happen. But not with me, I prefer to buy bitcoin or ETH as my investment place, seems like it will make comfortable since there are many users who believe and have a high trust to those coins.

did you mean xrp will replace bitcoin as the top cryptocurrency in the market ?
if yes, i'm really believe if thats will not happend my friend
because bitcoin is much more better than xrp, even in the future the rank of xrp will down because a lot of better alt if we comparing with xrp

There is an important distinction to be made between Ripple the company and XRP the token. Not every Ripple solution requires XRP. This is often used as an argument that XRP is worthless. However for certain solutions XRP is absolutely the best token that can be used, as it is the native token. Remember the distinction, but also remember that XRP is still a valuable token with a very strong future potential.

It is unlikely that XRP will ever be a real threat to BTC. It is heavily centralized, no matter what Ripple says. They keep claiming that they are just the largest holder of XRP, and not the controlling party, but even if that is true — Ripple is still a whale and it manipulates the coin in any way it sees fit. It has only been a few days since they released a huge amount after XRP price surged, that's as far away from fair play on Ripple's side as they can get.

Always when I'm alive I agree. Can't say what happens in 50 years;) or 100 years!

Ripple is the antichrist of crypto. It pretends to be crypto but is highly centralized. I thought altcoins in general were centralized but Ripple is a whole new identity of corporations playing with crypto. You can't believe the influence they have now with banks.

Ripple had some great developments and marketing this year, and the price went to high enough! Though many people don't like Ripple for its centralized nature but it is true that XRP is a good coin and its rank is third! But there is no comparison between BTC and XRP, XRP is not capable at all. The first place is fixed for Bitcoin! 

I think to trade on XRP this requires a very high patience because this ripple has a lot of price manipulation that often happens and makes many people get stuck in expensive prices, which is why ripple has difficulty to go up because they have long known traders of such games.

Everyone knows how XRP been controlled by a certain group of people. With that, we can't expect that it could compete with BTC and take over the crown. XRP has a great market trend lately but ain't no wonder for any time that it will drop back again. The entire market is struggling hard again and I don't think that XRP could still move high as what it did last week. It for sure, it will still be affected for this market drops.

XRP now is still at $0.24, and I don't think they can break $3 in the short time even if they are backed by strong people who have a large of funds. But XRP has a chance to increase at $1 if the bull run is coming, but we don't know when it is happening. But I think it is hard to use XRP to make a profit in a short time as the price doesn't move to the higher price in daily. So maybe you will use XRP as your long term investment.

I think it's better to search the other coins if you want to make a profit in the short term. Although XRP now is at the third position at the CMC, it still needs time to increase and move to the higher price. But we will see it later if the market starts to increase and XRP with the other altcoin will be making a new high price.

XRP is really a coin that cannot grow well at this time because XRP supply is too large and a lot of risk if you choose to invest in the long term. I think that having hundreds of millions of XRP unlocked each month can make me feel scared because they can sell at any time if they want. I used to invest in this coin in 2017 and made a lot of money but this year is the year for new coins and you should consider instead of having to invest in XRP

For now it is impossible for Ripple to supersede Bitcoin as still it able to hold up some resistance so that it could hold  the $8,200 value. If Ripple will just show sign of dominance in the market then maybe some investors will hold into this coin but it seems like Ripple is still depending on Bitcoin performance so it would be better if it will try to replace Ethereum first before aiming to be the top crypto.

While the rest of the market is showing signs of recovery, things are still looking shaky. Bitcoin (BTC), Ethereum (ETH), and EOS (EOS) are each up by less than 1%. Taken together, these signs indicate a lack of confidence in the market, which could be a sign of further losses to come.

That's not what I look into the market. I still have confidence that the market will regains back the trust from the investors but not likely to all of them have it. EOS isn't in the big line yet, but XRP did its best to be in the top 3 which it means that there is something we rely upon on it. May people worried for their lose with XRP as of being centralized but in a certain thing also it somehow profitable. What it makes difficult is to have in wrong timing in buying and selling.

People were so scared when the market started a downtrend and this is the reason why so many investors feel depressed at the moment. They don't choose to invest to lose money but what is happening can make them lose confidence in this market more. I don't know how to regain their trust but if there is a way I will do everything to make people trust this market.

We are in a bear market so there will be a lot of other big fluctuations going to happen in the near future so it is best to prepare a new amount of knowledge so you can be ready for any situation.

My personal experience with XRP is good I would like this coin to be staying on the top for long. Our local exchange which we use to change our Altcoins to fiat can be able to receive XRP and I never have such experience whenever I send some XRP to our local exchanges it has a speed of lightning compared to Bitcoin and ETH.

That's why I support this coin now. when I'm selling my altcoins on some big exchanges after I sold it to ETH or BTC I quickly change it to XRP it's so convenient to send it to my wallet on Coins.ph.

Absolutely I agree. XRP The future of the XRP seems a bit dubious.

XRP has massive potential. There is no other coin that comes close to its use case for international banking. This is a multi-trillion dollar target industry. XRP has phenomenal potential. Remember that Ripple the company has been going for a very long time in crypto terms, it's not some new start-up with a point to prove. Ripple have already proven many times just how good XRP is. I still believe very strongly that in the longer term we will see the price at least an order of magnitude above where it is now, possibly two orders of magnitude.

Obviously, It is Banking sector coin so many support is available in this coin. But Bitcoin is directly avoid the Banking industry so I am also avoid to invest this platform. Ethereum is maintain a good relationship of Bitcoin and it will maintain the second position so it better investment in current scenario. I hope Bitcoin and Ethereum is maintain the top region and Ripple investors also slowly move this platform.

no offense but you have to be really stupid to think a shitcoin as bad as XRP could even get close to bitcoin let alone go above it. garbage projects such as ripple have nothing to offer but some pump and dumps on rare occasions where the company dumps millions on the heads of the stupid sheep who buy their shitcoin otherwise the project doesn't even have anything new or half interesting to offer. it is just a 100% premined centralized coin with billions of supply unaccounted for.
