Ripple is great project and its coin xrp has already proven its worth. Do you remember that even last time it was called scam and centralized coins still it skyrocketted to more than $3 per xrp this time expectations are even bigger.

Wait until the lawsuit against Ripple is settled. If it is ever settled. The outcome of that could have a huge influence on price, up or down depending on the verdict.
At the moment we have no way of knowing; we can only speculate... but that is what we have been doing all along, in any case.

but the fact, xrp is a centralized cryptocurrency right ?
centralized crypto doen't mean bad, but a lot of people didn't like it, just my opinion buddy
anyway for the OP if XRP still stand as the TOP cryptocurrency in coinmarketcap, i think this coin safe for long term

XRP is a top coin, and its continuously pumping together with all the altcoins out there, and I still believe in its potential. I really appreciate the progress that they continue to do despite of their success. Its similar to how NEM is moving with their new token Symbol, they're doing a 1:1 airdrop in Q4 and businesses are already using their new platform.  All these top coins are really proving why they're up there.

in my opinion XLM is very safe, this project has clearly proven that their team is very strong, fundamentals are very good and a solid community, just hold! 5 years ahead XLM will be amazing

Since the owner won't give up, we can make trust in it.
XRP has been existed for quite long and it already builds trust for the investors. Until crypto still alive and usable to the market, we can be safe by then. But don't get surprised that XRP will never do the rally and we don't expect that because it was controlled by someone.

not XLM (Lumen), it is XRP (Ripple), maybe you are wrong.
Anyway, 5 years to keep waiting, it is not the hardest thing to do if you know how worthy it is. XRP has that potential even though many people didn't see it.

no, XRP is not a coin for the long term. It might look profitable, but there are a lot of risks if you want to hold it for the long term. I've had a few more losses while holding this coin because the situation changed suddenly even without news. this keeps on repeating, you will regret if you hold xrp for too long. it's better to sell if it's already profitable.

Maybe you buy it during the price peak or near it but considering the current price which is over sold if we view it in long time frame like daily and weekly. There is a chance for more profit if you hold it for long time. The only thing you should consider is setting the stop loss or take profit order to manage your profit/loss. XRP whales are increasing which is a good sign that investors are already on boarding. Hype will follow soon.

Even before this news that I'm about to share, I don't think that XRP is a good option to hold for long term.

Ripple Snaps XRP Sales Slump With $33M of the Crypto Sold in Q2 (https://www.coindesk.com/ripple-xrp-sales-rise-q3-2020)

What do you think of it? I think it's not a good sign.

   They are doing this in every quarter of every year! It's not a good sign and I don't think that XRP will be able to recover
to higher prices! I hold some XRP, but as I said a couple of times before, it's my only investment I regret about. In some
moments I was thinking to sell and forget about it, but I still hold it. I don't hope for anything, I will be lucky if I recover
my initial investment!

How do you think this time XRP will be able to surpass 3$ ? Bitcoin has risen to 12k $ but XRP has only risen more than 10% in the past, and it's too bad for a leading altcoin in this market.

Generate Coin By Them Self 2.0

They can create/mining their own coin, so basically al the circulation on the market was controlled by them as the one who holding the biggest coin on their supply. Now, when someone/company have a full power to control all the supply and network. Did it was really safe for everyone? I guest not, the company could be selling and make the pressure for the price. That's what's make is not really to good at all for save the coins.

These are not good signs for this project as facing some serious troubles if they are not able to handle this all then surely this project is going to be another dead and thousands of investors will lost some good amount I feel before investment we have to wait for lawsuit and then give any comment about this project is good.

we know its centralize coin but seem like the price had gone up from 0.20$ to $0.30, it may still be a good investment at least if you are a long term holder. just put it this way, if you bought XRP when its price was 20 cents and keep it up to this day, you already profited 10 cents each which you can already dump for profit and just imagine if you bought 500K of it. thats a huge profit.  but no. i take that back, this coin is a scam  ;D

It is difficult to determine that a token is not good for long term investment and good only for short term. Likewise with the analysis that you build that xrp is not good for long-term investment, even though we know that in crypto everything can happen and no doubt there can be significant changes. if xrp and the team want to try to improve the performance that has been built so far so as not to repeat things that make xrp continue to fall because of the wrong actions of xrp itself.

obviously xrp is a good token and can be proud to be used as an investment, although in the way xrp is difficult to move towards improvement due to mistakes made by xrp itself, if xrp's performance can be changed then it is not impossible that there will be an increase along with the increase of bitcoin.

Xrp and ripple are absolutely safe for longterm and they are the top choice for longterm holding because if you analyse last bull run you will see that xrp produced way higher returns than the top 2 coins like btc and eth so potential for xrp is legitly big.

It's a top coin yet there are things like this that do happen.

This depends to the investors discretion if they find it bad or no effect as they invest to this coin. For transfers, people who are aware how quick it is will say no comment or praise it for being like it.

Otherwise, being an investment, they can also keep quiet or say anything they want.

The coin supply doesn't matter a lot as long as the supporters and buyers or ripple can even sell their house to buy ripple. This coin is still promising in long term but I didn't believe if this coin can go to the moon as soon as possible.

With the support of many banks in the world and the increasing sale of Ripple tokens to institutional investors, it is certainly good news.
Seeing this, it can be concluded that XRP for long-term hold is very safe. If you see that the price of XRP in the market is also increasing,
because XRP trading volume is also increasing, there is no need to be afraid or hesitant to invest in XRP.

If you want to feel safe, you don't need to invest in crypto because when you invest in crypto, you should understand that there will be a risk that you need to accept. But I think XRP is for a short term investment, and if XRP can increase in the long term, I think that will be happening in a short time, and the price can get down after touch the high price.

I disagree. XRP is not a longterm token for holding. Ripple can be ordered to be shutdown by the government. The company behind the platform controls 99% of the validators and anyone cannot be a validator without being included in their trust list.

There are large institutions behind XRP and that, despite the fact that the market values themselves move downwards, the primodial value has a tendency to recover. We know that my statements are speculations but with this information we know that XRP prices tend to increase, correcting their market value with demand.

Long term holding for XRP is quite a risk just like any other cryptocurrency out there. Since this coin is owned by private company, their fate will be dependent on the company behind it. To have a better perspective between bitcoin and ripple, you can take a quick read in the below article and gauge for yourself, which one will be of advantage in your part for long term holding.

https://www.investopedia.com/tech/whats-difference-between-bitcoin-and-ripple/

Ripple is a very promising platform because of those companies collaborating with them, but one wrong move from one of its owners will make this network fall apart. Consider that if one day, one of its stakeholders wanted to cash out his large holdings or someone from their group exited without advising the group, what would be the future of their company? It is for you to decide how you are going to take that kind of scenario, and the possibility is always there.

Agreed if you are talking only about price. However, real decentralized cryptocoins do not hold a similar type of risk that a centralized cryptocoin holds. Ripple can be shutdown by the American government, real decentralized cryptocoins cannot be shutdown.

if the data is real then XRP really has a huge potential for over $ 1, if I may know, where did you get this data?
please share, this is very interesting information for me, because maybe in the future XRP will really be a hot again

Although XRP is a centralized altcoin, it will still be a good choice for long-term investment. XRP is at No. 3 in coinmarketcap, and it's safe enough for you to invest and when bitcoin grows high, it will surely go up after that.

There is no doubt while we talk about the Ripple investment or the price stability of the coin. As you know that XRP has a high demand in the global economy specifically in the banking institutions and the financial sectors thus, it has in the 3rd position in terms of the market cap. It is safe for the long-term as well as the short-term but you can't expect more price appreciation to get a better reward.

Safe! Maybe you forgot that xrp has been dumping since the last bull run. Have you ever wondered what happened to those who bought these coins for a long hold at that time? This coin made a huge gain once during the bull run. This does not mean that it will make a huge gain every time. Now that xrp is in place no one can tell which way xrp will go next. The xrp team has sold a lot of coins in the past few months/year . So if you believe in them and make an investment, you are responsible for it. Because no one will tell you the right way next.

XRP is still great for long-term deposits.  because XRP is now one of the top 10 coins on CoinMarketCap.  so I think that even though the price of XRP is not as high as ETH or bitcoin but XRP is safe for the long term

$XRP

Ripple looks good, has broken the Bullish Pennant to Upward and forming a Morning Star candlestick pattern. Bullish view at this coin while it holds the 2555 sats support.

Most likely XRP will not fall below $ 0.1, if investors come when the XRP price is above $ 0.2 then that is great for the long term, but of course there are still risks. this is a cryptocurrency

XRP is the 3rd rank coin on coinmarcetcap and of course XRP is among the top coins XRP has a high demand in every market and the volume of XRP is very high, It's not wrong to buy XRP now and hold on for the long term

You can add a poll and put a yes or no?

Man, you can get divided answers here as some investors are not really investing on XRP as it's centralized.
IMO, as what has XRP already achieved and being in the no. 3 spot in the market now, I think they will survive, but I would not say that it's safe because in the first place we all know that even bitcoin does not guarantee we will be safe from investing on it.

The question looks like you are asking if XRP is profitable in the long run or not?
It could be a no or yes but just do your research and so you can decide on your own.

I appreciate you put a data for comparison, but XRP is only moving well this year, in the last 2 years, it's not.

XRP had a huge support in a market and which made a sustain of that coin eventhough it not reached a maximum raise. We can find a huge rise in bitcoin, Ethereum. It was a difficult task in XRP, but had a potential. Due to it potential, traders prepare this one. Surely your invested money in Ripple will not make you lose some dollars.

As we all know Ripple is a top 3 cryptocurrency, which is very safe for long-term investments. If we will analyze
It seems that Ripple has very strong fundamentals. So it is very clear that Ripple is safe for long-term investment.
To be more sure, we can see the trading chart of Ripple where the movement is slowly increasing, so in long-term it
can be very profitable.

It will all depend on the demand and we know that theres no such thing about assurance into these kind of coins neither a non-stable or stable one.It will all possibly vanished or die

in upcoming months years or decades.The word safe wouldnt really fit out into this cryptocurrency investment area even XRP is highly supported, you wouldnt know on when

investors or supporters would leave this project/coin and find for another one.So its better to invest that you can really afford to lose when you do talk about long term.

maybe yes, but i don't like this coin because its centralized my friend
i think its better to invest in any decentralized cryptocurrency rather than centralized crypto

If you have good amount of money and you can hold for long term this coin is good.

Speculations coming from more traders make this coin to move in any directions, with how the current market
is heading there's a big chance for this coin to explode again and make a huge value, if bull repeat itself and bring
back the last time high, that's really a good price to catch

xrp for the long term is not a problem, but I think xrp has not had significant progress for the price issue. So even though holding XP long-term it doesn't lose but it's not profit either. like walking in place because the price doesn't surprise

it's natural that XRP doesn't go up high, because XRP already has a very high ROI too,
you also have to think about that, if you want to store XRP for a long time

Absolutely, Xrp is not that potentially good for the investment because it hasn't surprised us by growing significantly and that's the reason it wouldn't help subsequently to make a profit.

No one really knows if Ripple is going to be safe for the long term, while it is one of the coins that have the highest capitalizations we also know that it is a centralized coin created by banks and other financial institutions and if for some reason they decided to stop their support to this project it will fall immediately, so despite its size and its popularity it is better to think of Ripple as any other altcoin and be ready to get rid of your coins if there are significant signs that it could crash on the short term.

It depends on how many years you want to hold it! XRP, of course, a good coin, though a significant part of the crypto community doesn’t like it! But XRP is still holding the third position for a long time. I am worried about the holders because the XRP coin's movement is not good enough even in this alt bull season! So, I sold out my XRP bag and divided it into other potential altcoins! I think USDT will take the third place, and Link will come to the 4th! Ripple is losing its volume almost every day, so, the third position will be replaced very soon, yet you still can hold XRP for years because they won't scam you, but profit will be less!

XRP crossed 3$ in January 2018. That was the crypto bull run. Not only XRP reached ATH, but even some shitcoins also pumped very high. XRP is centralized but that's doesn't mean it's bad. Everyone has their own opinion but I think holding XRP for a long time & hoping for best return is a bad idea. You can make profit but not like other cryptos like ETH, BTC. But XRP definitely is worthy of holding :)

XRP is safe in the long term, XRP is currently still in the top five on the coinmarketcap and it's really good. XRP has been working on something amazing lately and I'm quite interested.

Ripple is one of the best projects I know and it is definitely for the long term . I dont support the crazy price speculations of ripple mooning to a 100$ and its all simple that . Ripple will definitely get to that point but only in the long run not anytime soon .

You don't need to be afraid or hesitate to invest in XRP, because XRP is a trusted coin. Even XRP is supported by many banks
from around the world. This proves XRP is very safe for long term investment, and also investing in XRP is a should be done.
Because I believe in the potential of XRP which can provide big profit to its holders.

For all the members who posted here that believes it's going to go higher, what do you think of Jed McCaleb? He sold some of his coins continuously from 2014 up to now. It's quite weird to believe in a currency in which the owners or founders of it doesn't hold it altogether. With the Ripple company selling $32.55 million worth of XRP in Q2 of 2020 [1] (https://coingeek.com/ripple-co-founder-dumps-millions-of-xrp-daily-research/), it's a sign that they probably need the money. It's hard to support a coin that even owners don't hold.

You can invest XRP or not based on your research because we can only suggest to you, and the last decision will be yours. I still have some XRP, and I am waiting for the price to increase again, although I don't know how long XRP can increase. But if I have more money, I will buy more, but I will do that after analyzing it. We all don't know what will happen with XRP in the future, so we need to know the risk of investing XRP.

Honestly, XRP shouldnt be consist as a safe investment at all due it total manipulation in nature and I will guys to understand that the increase in sales of a particular cryptocurrency in the market or partnerships doesn't mean the coin is good as an investment especially when it  a centralized coins.
I have seen alot of people invested in Edinar etc and later lost their investment.

Whenever there arises a discussion related to ripple, someone will state its growth as manipulated. I don't say it is wrong, but just through manipulation it can't stay strong in the top list of the entire cryptocurrency market. From my view XRP is manipulated at times, but there is real growth. Th is can be understood by its continued progress in development and partnering with different centralized firms to use the Ripplenet on all transaction needs. Without doubt XRP will be safe for long term.

I am patiently waiting it's going little more down before taking off up once more. As I might pickup some XRP which is relatively down. We don't know in what direction we're going, but I’m buying not selling. Anyway, may I know what's the right price for you to set sell order for your XRP?

If you look at it in terms of enthusiasts, the development, market and volume of XRP looks very good especially now XRP is ranked 4 coinmarcetcap
proves that XRP is very well established the price is not too high very suitable for long term investment and I am sure that I will give a big profit

if in terms of enthusiasts they just keep on talking bad to this coin  . for the development i havent heard a latest update to the team but for the market and volume i can say that both are stable  . ranking is not also too shabby  for a coin that is being look down alot by so called experts   . price isnt that high but price isnt also that low either because there are also simillar ranked coins that has a verry small value aswell but any of those are a best buy whether we are a trader or an invester

What is it? can you tell me the clue about that? i didn't even find any interesting in XRP as the product that has already made by XRP are only for bankers and the crypto users never seen any product that involves the XRP coin as a medium to use the platform or in a short explanation make the ripple coin to be utility coin.

Even when ripple is still sitting at the top 5 coins in CMC and it doesn't mean this coin can be a safe coin for long term. There's not volatility in the ripple market and traders are not interested with this coin anymore as ripple never gets a pump.

I think the op was very clear on his question, xrp is a long term investment, working with banks and financial institutions to bring something different is not what you can achieve in few months, this will definitely demands a lot of time, only those who want to invest long term will consider this, and note that occasional price pump has no relation to potential.

It must be admitted that XRP is a very good coin and its movement at first is very convincing but add more days there are no surprises that can be given by XRP and this is clearly very unfortunate because many hope that XRP can make a surprise, but it doesn't happen, is it at the end of the year is he starting to show his true self? we are waiting because there is also a potential altcoin waiting, namely Chainlink.

Good if you still have the patient is waiting for XRP price to go up. Yup, I will buy more XRP if I think that the price is down deeper. I will sell XRP if the price can touch more than $1 and rebuy because I am sure that after the price touches that price, it will go down deep before it goes high again. But once again, I don't know when it will happen, while the price now still below $0.5, so we need to wait for more.

Thats because it was the most manipulated coin in crypto market
Real growth in terms of partnership and deal which is only profitable for the team involved? Please study XRP very well you'll see that it was not created for the betterment of crypto community, enthusiast or investors but for the betterment the institutions.

Theres nothing safe about XRP but selfishness.

 It  would be horrible for long term, XRP is a coin that managed to convince people that it is actually a good one, when you can convince enough people that you are a good one, the price goes up and you suddenly become a huge ranked coin, obviously most of the coins that is listed on the market cap is locked away and owned by the creators, so the ranking is a total BS because it is not true, market has less than the claimed amount which makes it go up but then XRP creators say "there is trillions more!!" or whatever and make it look like it is high. Obviously creators have insane control over it as well, they could sell hundred million XRP in an hour if they want to in all XRP markets and crash it and take all your money too, nothing you can do to stop them. So all in all, it is a horrible one that you should stay away from.

honestly apart from bitcoin it seems very risky if you hold alt coins for long-term investments, let alone trying to make XRP a long-term asset of course that's not the right step, we can see how now Xrp's popularity continues to decline over time, and this indicates that xrp is not a good investment asset in my opinion personally, and that is my reason for not trying at all to invest in alt coin xrp because it will only be waste time and money that I have right now, my advice is better to make bitcoin a long-term asset and alt coin as an asset short term because it will be very profitable for us traders.

The market is indeed full of risk so investing without a plan and strategies can resulted to a big loss to you.
XRP made a great pump in the past years and many believes that this coin will remain to be on top and can reach another peak when the bull market begin so I think XRP is still worth holding for. Just know when you have to XRP and when you have to sell XRP, don’t love too much any coins/tokens and if there’s an opportunity to take profit, take it.

Don't get too attached to it. XRP is a promising coin with several institutional investors, their features such as low tx fees and quite fast, they have real potential to be one of the payment gateways. But remember, they are centralized and one wrong move from one of its big shareholders, will affect its market value. I like XRP for transfer purposes and as a means of payment method but what I am worried is the people handling this project.

That can't be denied, investment risk is present at all times, not matter what kind of field is that. Bigger lost can be experienced once you holdings didn't meet a certain goals for the future gross of your profit, xrp need to grow as long as there's a huge community that supports. Doing buy and sell can be easy, once you found out a benchmark on specific fluctuations that leads to rapid increase; relative index is very important.

That is the case with all the other coins and projects, the owners make a ton of money even if the project is successful or not. Bitcoin created a monster and then do you think that all the coins that were created were are for the betterment of the community. I am not a big fan of centralized coins either but who knows what their position would be 10 years from now.

Except the scam projects, not all projects makes a ton of money for the project owners. The centralized altcoins such as XRP will not gain the value as the decentralized altcoins due to the obvious reasons. The future vision is important, ignoring the requirements of the future projects will cost a money&time. Obviously, after 10 years it is questionable XRP will be there or not.

The problem is people want to trust people and for some reason, when guys go out and wear a tie and a suit and smile people feel safe in them. And okay, I get it, sometimes you want to trust a selfish person to make the most money, but people don't realize these guys at Ripple ALREADY made their money and this is going nowhere except for small pumps to squeeze every last possible cent from investors.

almost all posts in this thread give a negative assessment of RIPPLE, the fact that Centralized systems like Ripple are bad, they can throw away at any time and turn the owner into a billionaire and all of you fall victim to this scam

You make a good point but in 10 years time I don't see the community support centralized coins and the only change I believe will occur is the centralized of more exchange and crypto payment site cause crypto will be moving to the edge of mainstream and more AML will be implemented by the government.

Absolutely and I hope the naive crypto investors will for once wake up from their sleep to face the reality.

That's the point, centralized coins have the goal to make rich a certain number of people, while decentralizes coins give the same chances for all.

The thing that i don't like about XRP is the amount of them. We don't really know how many ripples are there, but we know the owners are holding some enormous amounts with the idea of sending them to markets at some point.  And that's a nasty market manipulation from my point of view.

XRP has banks involved in it (so many big names that even they will not reveal) and it is not wrong to say that banks have also integrated XRP and it is due to the cause that XRP remains stable. Safe for long term? If you are looking for an interest rate that you get from banks, XRP can be considered but too much profits are not possible because they need to keep XRP stabilized to be in it themselves.

It is true why nowadays people prefer decentralized coins to centralized coins like XRP, because decentralized coins provide equal
opportunities to everyone. And most importantly, decentralization of coins provides freedom for holders to manage their own finances.
So it is only natural that there are many negative posts related to XRP, but still, but still despite the many shortcomings of XRP as
a centralized coin, I think XRP as a top altcoins is indeed quite safe as a long-term investment.

XRP team are selling their holding as far as I remember and there’s also a news about this before so I doubt for the team of XRP because of this. If you’re going to base on XRP platform, you will believe that it will be good to hold for this coin because of working well with the banks. The future price of XRP is still good, just invest on what you can afford to lose and set your selling price so you wont get stuck on this.

Also heard about this and I’m wondering why they are slowly selling their holdings, well they are already a reputable person considering that they make deals with a lot of banks, but this can’t guarantee a good price in the future. This is still a centralized coin, anything can happen and the team still have the control over this so don’t hold too much if you don’t want to get stress in the future.

does not guarantee that they cooperate with the BANK, the price of ripple will go up, it is only a cooperation while the price of ripple is determined by demand

There is no guarantee in the crypto industry, if the XRP team decides to sell off the team funds the price will find another dip point. The last price fall was not meaningless, the team is able to organize the situation which is not in favor of investors. The partnership news and other rumors only serve as a meal for crpyot influencers and I am afraid this news has no effect in overall market performance.

XRP will be the best long term investment, I think that in bull run will be one of the best coin that can give to use a good gain. I like XRP and everytime that is low I try to buy. It dependts to btc price

Compared to 2017-2018 XRP prices in 2020 are very cheap, in my opinion this is good to buy and hold for a long time,
but remember!, investing in cryptocurrencies could be the opposite, you might lose,
you have to be absolutely right analyze before buying it.

It has already mentioned by so many influencers in the cryptocurrency if the bank was only interesting to use the ripple tech and no more, the banks have clearly stated that if they never feel interested with the ripple coin.

I never expect the pump to happen for XRP.
The bank was also trying to take the advantage from the existence of the ripple protocol. I think that so many ripple hoders aware about this too.
Ripple is only working for the bank and it's not dedicated for the community that has been making the platform become the major platforms.

It could happen again in the bull run. But it still mysterious to know what will happen with XRP. But with the position now, I think XRP will have a big chance to increase to the high price. The XRP price now is $0.24, so the next target price could be $0.5 or even $1 if the pump is coming to that coin. But bitcoin price itself still not giving big moves at the market, and it seems, bitcoin price is waiting for the right moment to jump and break $11k. And with the down of the bitcoin price again, I think we need to wait until the next month, so maybe there will be a change for bitcoin and altcoin.

XRP is always termed as manipulated, no one thinks how the manipulation is taking place. It isn't independently manipulated by the authorities who hold the maximum volume of XRP's. If so, we can conclude it as manipulated asset and there is no possible chances of market growth reaching high in the market. I haven't seen XRP bump like other cryptocurrencies that grow high as 100% within few days time.

Whenever the market of bitcoin grew there is better growth with XRP. In this way XRP too has some sort of market dependence over bitcoin. Based on the fact, it is obvious to see the growth happening on XRP to be real. More than any other cryptocurrency XRP has got partnered with lot many Centralized firms, and that too contributes in the growth. I believe XRP to be safe for long term.

Ripple is a coin that kind of lacks a purpose, what I mean by this is that the coin does not really move that much to produce profits for those that like to trade the markets, it does move of course but compared to the thousands of coins you can trade it does not move as much which makes it not that attractive in that sense, and while I think for those trying to hold their coins for years ripple may be an option to look closely, at the same time why would you waste your time with such coin when you have bitcoin? Which is the best coin in the market to hold for the long term.

As a centralize coin, is it really safe for people when xrp team could do anything at anytime if they want? As a top ranked coin, i agreed that its safe for long but will it really profitable? As we can see, team trying to develop it, doing partnership with largest companies but xrp consistently losing its values even 90% lower than ath. So trading with it maybe okey but i can't even think about hodl it for long term

XRP might have been doing a good rise in the market in the past days but having it as a centralized coin even if its a top coin could mean not ideal for long term holding. Although what we have here are more on speculations but i prefer to invest in decentralized coins that are on the top of coinmarket cap than focus in XRP which i might regret in the future.

Wave is an incredible undertaking and its coin xrp has just demonstrated its value. I truly value the advancement that they keep on doing notwithstanding their prosperity. we know it a concentrated coin, however, seems like the cost had gone up from 0.20$ to $0.30, it might even now be a wise venture in any event on the off chance that you are a drawn-out holder. simply put it along these lines, in the event that you purchased XRP when its cost was 20 pennies and keep it upright up 'til today, you as of now benefitted 10 pennies every which you would already be able to dump for benefit, and simply suppose you purchased 500K of it.

There were some rumors, that I've read recently, saying that more businesses and companies  or banks? I'm not so sure, but they said that more of these will support ripple(XRP) in the next years making it more valuable in the next future. If that is can happen, I guess it's safe to invest on this coin, but it is really a long term holding. However, if it does not happen, I'm not sure if xrp is still good. The thing that I don't like with ripple is that they can generate any amount of it anytime that they want.

A few years ago, it was profitable as everyone went through the all-time high prices.

It is noticeable that even with the partnerships, the price isn't increasing a lot. Long term is also up to the investors' discretion if they think that it's fine to hold it for the long term.

It's them that's counting on it.

I think XRP is a pathetic coin, because it is profitable only in 2018, when the price reaches an all time high. But after that the price continued
to decline and there was no increase yet, even a lot of support for XRP from many banks, does not make the XRP pump price. So investing in
XRP for the long term is not a safe thing to do.

pathetic just because it failed to provide continous profit ? but look at other coin , the same thing happened . they only pump on 2017 but no pump followed after that . you also call them pathetic ? what if some coins offer thier service or usefullness but not profit . for the people that only looks for the profit , they should go on the pump and dump and newer hype coins instead because they can just easily replace that coins once its not profitable anymore but for the solid supporters of crypto , they can stay on certain coins to show thier support .

As i know XRP is  a coin that is control by a bank .So it is so tough to say the movement of XRP cause it is control by someone .I think so it will be better to pass someday before investment .Hopefully some positive news will come by XRP team.

About the banks.

I don't think it's actually being used by the banks or they certainly are for it. They are for the technology that xrp offers but not to the actual coin as they still prefer to go fiat.

It's one misconception that others think of. Because if it's for the banks, we can see them adopting it or those partnerships are actually using it.

I believe this is just the alibi that XRP developer wanting to do in order to attract investors but in reality, it's not.`Banks never put their reputation into at risk knowing that XRP can do less for them, people are confident with fiat and if they are choosing crypto they might be preferred to Bitcoin than altcoins.

XRP is a decentralized coin, banks can't make a profit with them. However, the support from the developers built strong, and can't imagine how they manage to maintain their ranks in the market. It can be safe in the future but not a thing we likely to think about the profit.

No Doubt that i will be holding my XRP for long because i know that even this called to be a centralized coin and also a Banking cryptocurrency yet i believe in its future.
there are other coins in my Hand now and part of it is Ripple.
i also following their progress for year now and all i can see is development and success.
Ripple will be one of my dearest Holding so better consider this also.

The team is continuously doing their best for Ripple reaching the top,and you won't deny the fact that staying in rank 3 for long and now in rank 4 is also an achievement .

We really don't know what they do until it's been said and shown by them. I don't really think that it's still or there's a need for them to prove it.

If we can't see it, then that's it.

Nope

XRP is centralized and it is the reason why many disliked it.

personally for me?i don't think that Ripple is best for long term holding because the price keeps on going up and falling low so i believe that this ain't better for Holding instead this is good for daytrading or short term trading.
Buy ripple for other using but not for long handling.

but for me the main causes why ripple isn't good for long term hodl is because this is a kind of centralized cryptocurrency mate
maybe its better to choose a decentralized cryptocurrency for long term hodl and bitcoin is the right answer
regards

Xrp is one of the cheapest potential altcoin in the cyptocurrency so there is a lot of people are buying this coin .
I would say that your money is safe if you invest to the ripple because even this coin are low value but the potential is very high and not easy to decrease because they have more investors and every months I they have new project use this coin.

But the coin volume is too high also in which may take longer time to Hit high value,this is the difference between those coins that has potential and also have a small volume like Bitcoin with 21 million total supply.

I suggest that you may invest in Ripple but not for Long term,at least semi long term or weekly trading because the longer it takes is the opportunity of this coin being dump.
remember that this is a centralized coin .

I have bought ripple last year and still holding it,actually even how many bad words i have heard about this coin?still i believe that one day this will bring me good returns so why not try my luck?
and besides i only invested my money that can be spent so nothing that i care off,and also i can even let the coins in my wallet for long time without checking it,that is how i want this coin to be treated.

The long-running court case against XRP has been mostly thrown out now... which is good news for both Ripple and XRP. There are a couple of minor bits left, but the main body of the complaint is now irrelevant. Whilst - characteristically - this isn't having much upwards impact on the current price, it does bode well for the longer-term future of the project.

Ripple aka XRP is good coin. For long term very recommended but you must check bitcoin price too its will be impact to XRP

If you look at the social media regarding the long time valuation you would see many accounts shilling for ripple and all the social media analyst are bullish on the price when the market rallies, it is not a bad idea to invest a couple of hundred dollars in it and see how big the market would go when the market turns bullish.

Didn't really follow on XRP since the wave of DEFI started

Not sure if people notice, over the whole DEFI wildfire
XRP is not a thing in it, not even a single protocol added XRP or pegged XRP into Erc20

However despite how "centralized" XRP is, i doubt they will go scam/exit
They seems to be a filthy rich company compare to most of the other project
It MIGHT be safe but price wise its hard to say if it will go up over time or not

We have to admit that riplle is a project that is planned to be the successor of ethereum and in its development it is also quite attractive to many investors, but in the past the opportunity that riplle had was not used properly by the team so that the opportunity was lost and it was difficult to get back again . even though it's still in the top ranking of altcoins, maybe that's all it can be done takes some magic and hard work again.

Yes. I do hold XRP, and I am bullish long-term on the coin (that's a does in my quote, not a doesn't).
XRP has a very clear and strong use-case, and is way ahead of most projects in terms of integration with the mainstream. When there is good news for this coin, it isn't usually reflected in an immediate price rise, which is different to other coins... but as a long-term bet, XRP is I think a solid choice.

Bitcoin is about to bull from the volatility it has shown. The green can come anytime. Coin market is turning green and recovering is happening for altcoins. Ripple always has been a strong project that never refuse the bull when bitcoin begins the movement. The price for ripple is still good to buy for hodl.

If we talk about the long-term prospects of Ripple, then one must take into account the fact that this is an official organization, which is already recognized at the moment by large large banks and which fruitfully cooperates with Ripple. Even this fact speaks of good prospects for the organization in the future, moreover, this coin will not cause mistrust on the part of states and will always be supported by the banking system.

For the long-term investment, XRP is always safe as this coin is mostly adopted by the banking and the financial institutions in the world over. If the all-digital currency ever collapsed still it will remain intact because of the Govt. nod in every economy. So, invest in the Ripple as much as you want.

Maybe because eth is more appropriate for these projects since they need smart contracts for different functions. I'm not a hard fan of XRP but it is in my bag for couple of months now, surprisingly the price never gets down to $0.2, I think that's already the bottom of XRP

They had the opportunity back then, if they are scam they should have done it before.

It's really hard to say, but the chart says it's quite a good investment next to top coins in the market.

I don't think XRP will replace the current marketcap of stable altcoins, the use case of XRP is totally different. The new partnerships and the low transaction fees are the big factors for the Ripple team to find their way into the global banking system. From the financial perspective, the XRP blockchain can handle more than 10k transactions per second, IIRC. If the VISA company is the biggest competitor to the XRP project, this carrier a lot of meanings inside for the financial world. The competition comes stronger than ever and the revolutionary finance model will win the traditional finance. It is just a matter of time.

XRP is a great token, the chart is very stable and the coin is perfect for investing or trading short or long term.
since the last 90 days the XRP chart has increased and until now the price is stable.

Given the fact that it was been recognized and supported by banking industry, the chance that it will be more useful in the long run gives XRP a good way for long term investment, usages is very important in terms of finding long term investment, you'll be able to get decent outcome when you pick developing projects that makes it recognized not only around crypto space but also inside institutional investment places.


Good thing with XRP is the value is not  falling that much whenever there's  a sudden corrections or downfall around crypto exchange, XRP continue to move slowly but bringing good short term outcome.

XRP is one safer currency to invest because this has been backed up by Banks and also a centralized currency in which there is a bigger chance to be adopted by governments though there is also a chance that this can be dumped or manipulate but what can we expect?we are in riskiest investment platform in the world.
But why does it cannot take the rank3 position again from USDT?

the capitalization fell so hard and i am waiting for at least 40% of growth again.

Cryptocurrency itself is risky investment, with that being said there is no really safe investment in crypto. But XRP is consider one of the best cryptocurrency you can buy right now and i think for a long term the top 5 in the marketcap is the most safe, and XRP are so cheap compare to ETH and BTC consider its position as the third largest cryptocurrency.

Now it is great to renew the trade as I see that XRP has started to correct its price and will return to its previous price

Some time ago I had certain doubts about Ripple, but as I see, it has been steadily gaining popularity. Some banks have already begun using blockchain in their activity, and they use Ripple. Besides, this coin can be easily exchanged at almost any exchange, and the good rate can be found there.

Big banks are testing only Ripple platform but they are not interested to use the XRP coin anymore. That is confusing for so many people who mix this up with that stuff and trying to create hype and want to empty their bags on newcomers.

Since you are a big fan of their long term use case you need to understand that it is a heavily premined coin and it is not a decentralized structure which means you cannot trust the blockchain and so is the reason crypto enthusiast are not a huge fan of this coin. Making a profit is possible but you should be aware of these short comings and the risk in the long run.

We have been discussing the same topic every week. And again and again same questions  ;D

Yes XRP is very safe. Especially with 45.236.261.748 XRP circulation supply  ;D

I would never trust XRP, even it did well uptrends in the past, it doesnt mean anything for me.

In the crypto world, the price is very difficult to ascertain, in the long run XRP looks good but what if the price of bitcoin decreases, XRP will certainly go down too Unless there is a strategy to make XRP increase market demand. Don't forget to do your own research.

When investing to a certain project is never invest on what you cannot afford to lose. And that's right do your own research since the crypto price is volatile and we don't know when will it increase. Although xrp is good when doing transactions because of the low fees which users also invest in this project. So we cannot say if this is also good for long term hold.

well there are many shill account here that boosting Ripple each time mate and you can find that in their own speculation section .

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2866208.0

I think it is enough that XRP reached 1$ and for the investors to profit,not like the other thread that seeking for $5 value in which impossible for now to happen ,maybe in the future but not in the next 5 years.

I will not recommend to buy and hold but i will only speak for myself as i am Holding my XRP since Last year.
maybe i can stand for good since i have already earning now because the price last year when i purchased the coins is very cheap compared to what i have now.
though i am not expecting this to reach even 1 $ not like those htreads in this speculation section that the one looking for $5 value.
i will be contented if Ripple took at least Half a penny or 0.5$.
this is more than enough for me to sell my holdings and convert all to bitcoin for my long term holding target of at least lowest 3 years and maximum of 10 years if i am still alive lol.

I would be very cautious with everything that is connected with Ripple. Its price is always unpredictable. XRP popularity can be growing, but the token can be traded for a very low price. Meanwhile, it has all chances to reach even 2 dollars or more as it managed to do once.
