Bitcoin Forum

It's getting way too much attention for how shady it is.

You people do know it was created by banksters right?

You do realize, it's one of the most responsibly manipulated assets in the crypto scene right?

You people realize we are trying to get away from banksters influence, right?

Or are you all so drawn in by easy money, you disregard your morals and values?

Disgusting.

I dont care mate,i invested 5btc worth of XRP when it was $0.2 6months ago i know thats ridiculous but it gave me a decent amount of returns,who cares about who created and manipulating this coin as much it will give thousands of dollars?no one cares.

I mean, by that perspective, you can probably give bankers blow-jobs as your day job for a decent profit.

finally someone on my frequence,

i was telling 1000 times here that ripple is manbearpig of cryptocurrencies

I really don't you guys have so much hate on Ripple XRP that has nothing to do with your life.
Ripple is gaining attention, popularity and fame due to it's marketing strategy. Are you all jealous that while Ripple coins was way cheaper than today but you couldn't afford to invest even a hundred of coins?
Even if I didn't owned a single Ripple coin today but I totally support their community that was indeed huge number of members that keeps on updating their investors.
I'm gonna invest Ripple soon because I know it will rise more.

The Bitcoin Whitepaper, being the genesis of crypto-philosophy and specifications, gave way to an ambitious, quick developing, community.

Now, in 2017, it's all about money. Peer-to-peer, and decentralization, is out the door. And that is a step backwards in the progress Bitcoin gave birth too.

Phasing out banks, and reducing their influence on society, has A LOT to do with my life..... Dafuq you think we are all here for? A quick buck?

Naw, some of us are actually optimistic revolutionaries fighting for the greater good.

I already sold my XRP sbecause i know what will happen?does it make sense?you can probably sit and wait for XRP to rise more as you are stupid enough not taking advantage to what the market gives you.LMAO

It obviously has banksters controlling it, but if you can earn a few bucks riding along, why not?

But you should care though, making some money like that is great but also short-sighted. The OP is bang on and knows that this isn't what crypto was made for but now is getting warped into something different. We gotta be careful to not allow many if any more centralized coins like this around it will hurt crypto and ultimately take crypto away from its original goals.

But as a matter of fact, which REAL USE has Ripple IN THIS VERY MOMENT? Is anyone using it actually for something?

Because then you are willingly playing into their game, and enabling them to build a foundation to preserve their influence on society in the future.

Oh look, another stupid thread made by an insecure person that is angry because Ripple is soon becoming the cryptocoin #1

Sorry that you dont understand Ripple OP

Bitcoin was been manipulated by big traders or whales back in few years ago so that's one of the reasons why Bitcoin is too expensive today but not only Bitcoin, in fact some Altcoins like Bitcoin Cash, Ripple and other Top Altcoins were somehow manipulated to create attention or to attract as many investors as they can.
Ripple is one of them I supposed so why not ride along? People would prefer invest into lower priced coins because they were expecting that these coin will rise someday and will eventually give them more profits than just keeping their money in the banks.

This thread is full of evidence of just how saturated the crypto-community has become with profit hungry fiends.

No its evidence that you dont understand Ripple

You are completely WRONG.  You might be trying to get away from banksters influence, along with a small majority of individuals on this site, but the rest of us are trying to ride the wave and make money.  If you find that morally wrong, then I suggest you try living without it and tell me how YOUR MORALS bennefitted you.

Agreed. Too many greedy fuckers out there who would sell their own mothers to the devil for a quick buck. And that's exactly what Ripple/banks want.

Sad part is, the more fools who do invest in XRP, the more secured banking influence on society becomes should a crypto-currency revolution happen.

I dont know why this is giving you headache. we all know that XRP price is being manipulated. not only XRP but also other cryptocurrency especially the altcoin token. many of them are tipped off. that shows technically that some dev probably those that have highest percentage distribution might influence the price of any coin if they want to. It is XRP turn now so if you buy xrp when it price is low then enjoy the pump while the offer last. but remember nother last forever

GeePeeU I don't understand your comments, the crypto-community has grown significantly since 2009, and this is dued to the huge market price rise.
I don't think the dream of a bank free world was the original purpose of Nakamoto. Banks will always be there.
The real dream is to stole the issuing power to central banks, it's quite different.

As far as my knowledge is about that, Ripple does not violate that. There are 100,000,000 XRP out there and no more can be issued.
The time they will try to change that you will see the price will fall instantly.

I been in the scene awhile, and this year has irked me all the wrong ways.

Everyone is focusing on money, and hype. it's almost like 50% of the community now, is just ignorant people chasing easy money. They have no regards as to what Cryptocurrencies were conceived for.

Remember the financial crisis in the late 2000's ?

Remember how we figured out how to get away from that scenario in the future?

Remember how we figured out how to give individuals FULL CONTROL over their finances?

Because it doesn't seem like many people do.

@Or are you all so drawn in by easy money, you disregard your morals and values?@
That's right, bro(
Everyone wants free money, that they are even ready to sell everything that they have, are close, friends, soul for the sake of fiat money

Yes they have a fixed cap, but they hold it mostly in reserves, and release it to the chain on demand. That's not right.

I am stubborn when it comes to my moral compass.

I'd rather die a poor man in a free world, than a rich man in an enslaved one.

Even if you don't support Ripple and XRP's positive influence in the banking community can anyone propose a technologically superior firm and native currency to accomplish the internet of value?  And please don't say XLM they are a joke.  The internet of value is something that benefits the individual far greater than frictionless cross border transactions benefit banks.  When Ripple and XRP become the standard and money flows as freely as information does today not only will you have missed out on enormous profits for yourselves but you'll have done it for misguided reasons.  

Look mate, i ain't aiming to rain on your parade but, i do not think you have the right to call anyone disgusting. I mean, yes, i agree with your point, but the thing is, don't you think saying such is too much? Now, i am not an investor of xrp, nor wil i ever invest but i do not call anyone disgusting or any names just because they think differently than me. If you don't like it and cannot keep it to yourself, at least don't call them xrp supporters as disgusting. Simpky because yiu do not know where they are comming from amd why they do what they do. Like their status in life etc.. anyways, i think you gety point so i hope this cmake you reflect.

If people are getting greedy, the bangster will win.

Everybody lost the thought of Satoshi. 
In 2008 the USA and the EU printed trillions of dollars and euros to stabilize the financial market.

The basic idea was to limit the amount of money.

This can only be done by decentralization.  Decentralization means not the decentralization of network. It means that not only one party or one government or the bangsters central bank can switch of the currency. It needs the majority of the community. 

This is Bitcoin.
This is Ethereum.

But this is certainly not Ripple.

Community ? lol
You do realise there is no such thing as a 'community' for the alt-coin section right ? Apart from money hungry investors and greedy bounty whores everyone else is just a delusion.No one cares who created Ripple.As long as it keeps on getting pumped,people are happy with it.
Not going into much technical stuff but Ripple is a heavily controlled coin since the day it was launched.The only reason it exits is because it's making people rich.

I'm just saying the current atmosphere in cryptocurrencies is disgusting. Didn't mean to label the individuals as so.
The community is not what it used to be. And the majority seem to invest blindly, before reading a single page on specifications, developers, and functions.
Most discussions everywhere, used to be about the individual empowerment, the potential, and the cleansing of corrupt bank influence on society.

Cryptos have always shared core values with me. But I guess i'm left behind with my ideological thinking.

Maybe this could have got the banksters manipulation, but the same doesn't mean it is a shame or we the users should not use it. This didn't got achieved in a month or within short term, it has traveled years to reach such an value depending on the market acceptance and other relative factors.

Greed has proven to manifest, and exploit it's self in most people given the oppertunity.

On that note, were fucked. It was a good ride.

Most here are blinded by greed. Either to dumb or dont want to see the Honey-trap. Let 'em have 5 min of joy for a lifetime of enslavement.
Check signature for more insight to this shonky operation. XRP has nothing to do with blockchain tech, fact.

So many not just naive and clueless but also arrogant newbies and juniors defending shitcoins.

They'd do anything for a slice of pizza's worth of satoshis. Fucking ignorant dumbasses.

You seems hating it too much. I wonder why people started getting hate for a coin what they don't have when it goes high, but when it comes down, they buy it in bulks to fill thr banks.

jep ripples marketing strategy:

1. print money (us dollar)

2. spend it on depentend salary slaves to market ripple

No one cares, but sooner or later the crypto community would suffer for it. I'm not saying Ripple is bad but that we should be concerned about investing in good projects the would last and benefit people.

98% or more of the people here are in crypto to make more dollars and then leave. that may not be a fun idea but it's the truth. if ripple gets them there before bitcoin then that's the train they're gonna choose to ride. hardly anyone will turn down money for reasons of morals or principals.

For the sake of novices like me around here, could you pls explain why you have this issue with Ripple? I actually think they're good.

Yes it`s true as you say, but I only found out yesterday that XRP it was created by banksters.
And the question that arises in my mind is: what was their real goal?..., Whether they may want to replace/remove the cryptocurrency system?...,  and then replaced with XRP.

I love Ripple.
I think its one of the BEST cryptocurrency!

Ripple has over more then 150 employees. They are in China, India.. More then 100+ banks uses Ripple.
You think the price is manipulated? This is just the beginning.. Ripple is already on the big news and in many countries.

If more banks uses Ripple, There will become A LOT more money in XRP.
I think it's still cheap if you look at the bank market.

You probably missed the train  ;D

Ripple is shame to not only crypto-community but also everybody. I think even its creators hadnt predict this price. I hope it will fall again I dont want to see it is second big coins.

It was created by a big bank Ripple to run banking, it does.

To fund it they issued coins.

It now rules banking and is worth $100 coin easy

Nothing shady about it's just not the crap that most crypto is

It will soon fly by BTC

Probably next week

Not really sure if I agree with you on that one. Ripple will perform well in 2018, but I doubt it can surpass Bitcoin in just a month.

Do you think Bitcoin has a good price and no shady?
$40,- per transaction  :o

these are scammers that waste a lot of ressources, they want to ban all other cryptocurrencies, so they gaylords dominate everything

Without Bitcoin xrp would not survive a day.
Fact is Cash is ten times better than centralized database xrp token.
Check sig to get a start at this know scam.
Price is totaly meaningless, it's just a number the company decides to put up.

ripples creators print US-dollars and buy their own garbage,

Sure am glad I bought all that Ripple at .20.  Man, I'm sitting pretty!!

I could care less if its decentralized or not.  I'm not trying to change the world like a god damn tree hugger.  I'm here to make money.

For those who bought a while ago this is a good moment to sell. I did it myself. I am waiting for the dip in order to be able to buy more coins, I am hoping to actually double my amount of XRP. :) I am happy with it though.

This is what I'm talking about. I thing xrp is gaining its momentum now and many traders are riding the waves.. this is really a shame to crypto world but I think most of the money in crypto now is because of the greedy ones

Let's hope this trend doesn't last as long as say.... the "Scaling debate".

That could have some harsh repercussions.

I put my money where the money is! this is the idea that most follow, XRP is showing how much the investment ideal is archaic, I agree in some respects that XRP, is hurting the world of crypto, such as the morality aspect.

Most of the idiots out there don't realize that Satoshi made bitcoin in order to combat the fucked up shit that the banks dealt out, like the 2008 mortgage crisis. And now with this we are slowly giving the power back to the banks. These noob idiots can't think more than five minutes in front of their faces.

Wow, you're a moron.

Anyway I agree, I'm not getting into Ripple because I refuse to have my money controlled by anyone but me.

what will happen is ripple and how it is used, though contraversial will bring the blockchain and its capabilities more public awareness and thus bringing more people into the crypoto world and the alt coins where a real difference can be made. It we have one part of the blockchain shaking hands with the bank it might just stop the govt from trying to shut the cryptoworld down, that way without them even knowing it the new blockchain world will surpass all expectations and really bring a better life to the people. If it takes ripple to do the introducing so be it and on the way make a little coin.
One thing that puzzles me is how Ripple is called centalized where I see so much centralisation in all the cryptoworld.

That is not a healthy way to introduce a large surge of adopters. It doest enable decentralisation , doesn't teach WHY cryptocurrencies exist, and will surely deter a lot once a bad side effect happens due to the dependence on ripple  

And yes, a lot of shit coins are very centralised in nodes, coin volumes, hashpower, and developments.

This is why having hashpower is important, you can reinforce the chains that support decentralised everything. Bitcoin used to be this way. And Vertcoin is still a good representation of quality decentralised coins. They do exist but it takes a little time to find them.


Ripple is 100% premined, Not based on blockchain cryptography (so not a real cryptocurrencies), not decentralised in development, coin volumes, exchanges, or anything really. They dictate the value of the coin, and keep most of their volume in storage, releasing more at will.

Its not centralized if there are 1000++ nodes that makes up the rules on Ripple, no company or person are allowed to own a majority of them. Ripple will neither have a majority control. They have to obey the rules all the nodes vote on.

Go educate yourself on Ripple. Its one of the most DEcentralized coins out there

Show me a node list. All the ips and locations. Prove they aren't nodes hosted on servers in a virtual environment with VPN tunnels , hosted by ripple

Also, if you don't think there's a backdoor in bank funded software of this nature, your a fool. No body but ripple works on the code. So they can hide anything.

Whether you like Ripple XRP or hate them, as long as the banks are around, you might as well embrace its use because it's going to allow you to send money faster for cheaper.  What's wrong with that?  

Ahahahhahahahahahahahahahahhahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahah

Gahahahgagahahahahhahahahahahhahahahahahahahahahahava

Like Im gonna convince your delusional head with a list, You are just going to make up more excuses, just like you did right now.
«Vpn tunnels». Yes Im gonna whois all the locations, put them on a map for you random stranger.

Are you serious?

ripple isnt cheaper actually

0.30 USD transaction costs now

when you withdraw from Binance

waves is just 0.013 USD

regards

There are people who trade cryptos just for profit, thats a speculative market for you.
Ripple is great tech and should not be judged by who created it.
This is fre market and you can choose whatever altcoin u support.
I do not own ripple and i dont have any desire to own any, yet tech is good and may improve experience in banking by alot. Cryptos cant replace centralized banks over night, we need to find common ground atm.

Another BS post

One transaction use 1/1000 of a XRP
$2/1000 = $0.002

NICE FUD MAN! It was not created by gangster, it was created by person who contributed a lot to the crypto world (1st implementation of POS in NXT project). Just do your research!

ah so ripple is good tech? hmm

ok well then lets clone ripple? does that work?

no, and thats whats the goal of the people of ripple is,

1. they abuse their position print a bunch of US dollar, and create a new massive expensive and unreachable encription with those vast ressources

2. they sell their currency ripple

3. make everyone afraid of anything else.

4. enslave the masses and the media.

ripple has to be judged by the people that made funded and own it.

these are billionaires that seek to find idiots working for their crappy ripple token

regards

So your just going to blindly trust the information you read without investigation? Do you know anyone hosting a Ripple node? I sure don't.

i wrote its 0.30 USD when you withdraw from binance

Bought a burrito with Bitcoin-Cash today, TX fee was like $0.0025 USD and reflected instantly.

https://bitinfocharts.com/de/comparison/bitcoin%20cash-transactionfees.html

this chart says its 0.24 USD

regards

I was actually referring to the cost of cross border bank to bank transfers.  As stated by Ripple, the transaction cost is roughly 60% less when using XRP, thus, reduced cost for the banks equals reduced cost for customers.

I hope in 2018 some of the "Ripple banks" will start using Ripple but with their proprietary, extremely stable token and not XRP. If you haven't thought of it yet, a currency that increases several hundred percent during a week is not ideal for money transfers...
I will be jabba-the-hut-laughing for a whole week.

Looks like a lot of hype going on about XRP lately. This guy is just trying to act as anti hype, probably wants to buy some before Pluto  ;D

I'm sorry, my fee was $0.006 USD.


Here is the TXID. Look for yourself.
23e5fcef5fe19963d603dea047308b7dd6682d337e55c5660e7f85d51c7cf4eb

wow bro, I think you are one of the lucky ones of XRP, I had time to try the investment option in XRP but I never did because I think XRP will not be like this. ;D

^^

^^

The problem with using currency other than XRP with Ripple is that the fee is higher for any non-XRP currency transfer.  Also, Ripple does have XRP locked in escrow with plans to help with price stability, however, keep in mind that right now increased awareness is taking place and more banks will be adopting it, so yes, the price will be moving quite a bit now.  In the long run, the price will stabilize.

Wow such anarchist here!

Blockchain was meant to be free and meant it can be used by anybody,  including banks and whoever.

If you hate the banks why do you still have a  bank account you hyprocrites?

I want to see you cut your cards, not pay your mortgages if you hate the bank so much.  

You are not entitled to dictate who should use blockchain.

Xrp was not created by bankers. It was created by silicone valley startups to help money transfer for banksters. 

If you dont' like XRP they only crypto thats a legit silicone valley business,  go for ICO with a team of high school dropouts to invest in

I doubt the banks will surrender and let Ripple run the whole show. But we´ll see, but organizations rarely hand away power.
The reason XRP is increasing is the bankers pumping it since they got a shitload for free/cheap.

Look at Neo, a real project with major community backing and devs, 4,8 billion vs XRP 85 billion.
Plus XRP is cancer to transfer and their wallets suck.

We're on the same wavelength.
farewell to the fundamentals of cryptocurrencies and bow to the central banks, and big corporations that are waiting to get into the Ripple bandwagon. /s

But I'll say this, only the long time holders will benefit from the the pump. Anyone buying XRP now is going to regret it later, i mean, do they actually think this is sustainable? 50% increase in 24h?, part of this sudden pump comes from noob investors pumping a cheap crypto, just like they've been doing over the past few weeks. the other part comes from FOMO and people chasing the pump/hype thanks to euphoria, they have no idea what Ripple is and no actual belief in its "project" .
Once Ripple dumps their fair share of 55B xrp (they're gonna do it in order to double the supply very slowly) and the rumour about Coinbase and xrp comes to nothing, people will panic dump this shitcoin and there won't be any demand for the absurd xrp supply there's going to be in the market and the 'ripple trend' will end just like the other altcoin pumps we've seen over the last few weeks, long-forgotten.

Once this is over, I wonder which altcoin will be selected as the next target for a pump? obviously it has to be an altcoin that will supposedly overtake Bitcoin to lead the crypto market, I mean, last summer it was ETH, few weeks ago it was Litecoin...

Yes. That is true. And i get where you are comming from. I have seen those days also. Well at least just a few months back when i was just an observer of this forum and didn't care to be a part of it. But yeah. It really is different nowadays. People who don't know sht about the crypto world just dive in without even observing how things work around here. I mean, these people go and invest because of how bitcoins and some altcoins have been soaring high. And the aftermath? They lose quite a huge capital because of the volatility of cryptos which they didn't even care to study about. Then they go hatin on cryptos and bad talking it saying its a scam, bubble and all that.

But you see, that is their life and money. And it will only stress us out if we try to change things in the world that we have no power over in the first place. Realized this back then. An this is real. So I suggest that like me, you only take chrge on things that you can control. That way when others see you doing what you do, being true and good with it, then you might influence others also.

Believe me man. I have experienced and done what you just did in other forums and same things happend. Sometimes in life, it is better not to care even when you know what you are doing is right and for the good of everyone.

Hope this syncs in.

I did sold most of my XRP before at cheaper price I don't give that much hate on XRP. But that's the fact that they are backed up by banksters and many are enjoying the ride as for sure these banks are buying it. But the same with other coins there will be time that investors will realize that they are only riding the pump and once these banks are enough and starting to gain profit, they'll jump off.

i am also on same wavelength like you, ripple is the banksters scam, and the banksters are a fraud,

the problem is that the US dollars that they think will be worth something will not be worth something,

they simply dont get what this is all about

its not about getting US dollars,

its not about making the financial system more efficient,

its about power, and freedom, especially financial freedom, that currently the banksters are securing for a certain elite, and corporation and work will not free you from them

they will always try to outlicense and to outrule everyone that removes their power and their financial freedom,

regards

agree. I am surprised in the amount of Bitcoin you have hoho.
I invest only with 0.006 bitcoin in XRP and now earning lots of return. thanks to XRP and its development.
if you do research xrp development and platforms is also good dont you think. if it is banksters or fraud maybe I think now we will not be taking advantage of it. but no I receive lots of income positive income with it. just love

We will don't have financial freedom when these banksters are going to start focusing in crypto and they'll use Ripple on it and if the investors will stay to ripple. Basically people who are just going with ripple now are those people that just want to earn and have an instant bucks but after this for sure there will be whales behind it or elite whoever they are that had enough to make billions of bucks that will start to dump it and others will follow as well. Just like the normal scene that's happening to all coins.

That was also my thought. I think most of people are eager to earn and dont consider the facts about ripple.
I wonder how this ripple will affect the crypto community soon.

Come on dude, we in the crypto community is working and doing things to earn money, how can we be disgusting by grabbing the opportunity to earn more? its trading and investing in a crypto not in a bank, after all, we are all gaining and that's important in the crypto world, everyone will sure sell once the trend goes fall.

I think giving your own opinion is right. Since crypto is a way of removing banks from entering transactions your rant is somehow right. But since ripple continues to give profit to others that holds some supply they dont care about how banks are entering the business.

Ripple is one of the most useful and promising altcoyins. It is designed to replace the obsolete technologically and morally SWIFT method in the banking system in a matter of seconds to deliver any payments anywhere in the world, based on blockchein technology. I do not think that this coin is bad just because it was created to work in the banking sector. The main task of crypto currency is to help people, to make their life comfortable, faster and more perfect. This is also the task of all altcoyins.
      Absolutely decentralized and anonymous crypto currency does not exist.
        If, for example, we make absolutely decentralized and anonymous bitcoins with a value of 300,000-500,000 dollars with high volatility, the states will have to defend themselves against its negative impact on the economy of their countries and simply ban it under the threat of criminal responsibility. Therefore, the task of the crypto currency is not to fight the existing system of the social system for centuries, but to integrate smoothly into it for the common good. Crypto currency can not force states to change for themselves. It is a myth. States, if desired, will easily destroy it.

I remember when i bought xrp token 5 6 months ago or more. it was pumped till 8k sat in poloniex. then suddenly poloniex website was frozen. And when i could open its panel back the price was less than 4k sats  ;D. Sicne that time i didnt invest on xrp again. but if i kept those xrps i would be a very rixh man right now  ;D

Because people don't care about the advocacy or purpose of the coin, they all want profit. They don't realize that ripple is just like fiat, can be created out of thin air.

people cares because it will soon be dis-value by investors, the coin seems to have just been in a point were the growth is in not increasing, I have invested on it for some months now waiting for a good return from it, but the coin is not appreciating the way others are doing.

the calculation in the sense of the amount of US dollars is the problem not about total trust and legitimacy

regards

yes these idiots that calculate their earnings in US dollars are stupid,

they will get a bad awakening

i admit i am doing currently the same but i am working on cryptoprojects,

regards

Ripple is manipulative currency. I wonder how it get to be categorized as cryptocurrency. Soon it will dawn on the investors that are buying into this. They are about to increase the supply and that will definitely devalue ripple.

traders and investor are not cared what this ripple are.. what they care is always a profit. the moral issue are not bind in trades. the smart will overcome how the human greed are. that why even the stupid token coin even has no value at all being pump up. im not surprised at all.

i also wonder,

why is ripple listed in coinmarket cap

1. are coinmarketcap people Insane?

2. are they corrupt? did the banksters printed a bunch of money and payed for the listening there?


i hope those idiots realise how mistaken they are and delist ripple asap

regards

Tell me which currency is not manipulated ? Just because you don't have any xrp at the moment doesn't mean the coin sucks.Had you been a long time holder of XRP ,you wouldn't be saying that.Ripple was always a coin which can be increased in the supplies so why are you freaking out now ?

That is the motive behind every other crypto-currency.

Clever members of this forum do realize it. But the herd ain't. They do care only about the income (but due to low knowledge level they ain't possible reaching that "income"). It's natural.

Sorry brother but not everyone is an anarchist! Most people are in crypto for just money and money alone. Why do you think so many scammy ICOs have popped up? Why does Bitcoin price exponentially?
 
Ripple is actually a very good crypto currency to bring non crypto people to the crypto world. It is not decentralized, but that does not mean it is bad. Banks all over the world are adopting it. And people still trust banks!

No matter what coin goes up, someone is making thousands of dollars. Detach yourself from it since you have a stake and ask yourself what coin should go all the way? Some will open up a bright future and the others will just make the average person a bigger debt slave to the poor economy and crooked power structure.

I feel the same! Supporting xrp is giving the corporation your right to control you. I guess we people are born to be slaves. We even won't bother to sell our soul for few quick bucks. The corporation manipulation washed our brain so much that we do not even realise where are we going with it.

I heard rumour or news (not sure) that amazon is going to accept xrp as payment method. If it is true then it's a part of banks plan. They know amazon is the biggest in virtual world so they went after amazon. They will also go with Paypal coz they know paypal is another biggie, mark my word.


It's a shame that our little brain do not realise it.


Thanks for shouting out brother.

Why do you say like this? do you have any evidence? xrp seems one of the promising coins that have done a lot of actual work, and the price of xrp is rising rapidly.

Like this, as long as it brings back the profit, no one really cares about small detail.

I just heard so much of this,a friend of mine asked me to buy ripple at 0.01, and I didn't listen to him. When the price reach 0.1, he asked me to buy ripple again, and I didn't listen to him either. Now its 2 dollar.

People that hate xrp have the same mentality/ideaology as that Roger Ver. Biggest douche

Can you imagine our system without banks?) Our society can't be separated from bank system. The purpose of criptocurrency is not banks killing) criptocurrency should be used for improving our bank system but not killing

So what?
The essence is the fixed cap (and I have mistaken the max supply it's 100,000,000,000 XRP, but the idea doesn't change).

I quite agree with post of Irvinn #115, destroying banking system it's unrealistic, it simply won't happen.

I say it again, the real dream is to stole money issuing power from central banks.
That will be a huge improvement for the financial system.

Well the TS should be hating the XRP because he didnt bught it when it was too cheap,now hes making himslef comfortable by hating the coin.

Buttcorn fear is in the air... someone worried that XRP will surpass btc? Lmao
You people sound like little offended guuurls

no, we are not afraid about that,

ripples value has no meaning, its the banksters coin, they can print money and buy their own garbage just to celebrate themselves and the banking cartel

in the end they will lose

Sad to tell you but all the nice ideal you have mentioned is nothing more than how they use to push up the hype.
It just how they define what good or bad to justify the price.
In the end, it was the profit, gain, money all long.

he doesnt get the point of cryptoeconomics not at all

Some people are just in it for the money and don't care if they are feeding bankers again, don't they remember all the sit in protests by wall street? The 1% protest! The ripple buyers are just like scammers putting coins into the wrong pockets

No matter what is Ripple and who made it.It is a good altcoin with banks participating
Bcash for example is a real crap created by rich psychos (hi roger ver) who try to pretend they are gods.

Ripple is too good and karmic clean compare to BitcoenCash

What a funny idealistic campaign about ripple and how bad it is LMAO

People wants money on whatever currency it may be, so they wouldn't care who made it or who manipulate it, as long as they can make profit on what is going on, by it's price gradually increasing and surpassing Ethereum, they will put so much attention on it. And that's how the world works if you still didn't realize. Whatever you say they wouldn't listen to you unless you give them profit much bigger on what they can get. Shameful right? And we can't do anything about it, and that's the pungent truth!

I am willing to bet Ripple is extorting companies to acknowledge them.
They have no legit reason to be in the cryptocurrency scene, So I am led to believe Ripple is a mass bank funded resistance to Cryptos. And Seeing what has become of BTC Legacy, Ripple might be Act 2 for them.

Buying ripple is like giving free money to the bankers but everyone is doing what he wants with his money but I wouldn't buy ripple even if it will be the last crypto remaining. But I'm always asking , who is buying ripple ?

Ripple DOES NOT RUN ON ANY BLOCKCHAIN CRYPTOGRAPHY

IS NOT A CRYPTOCURRENCY

IS 100% PREMINED, VALUED, AND DISTRIBUTED BY Ripple

CODE IS NOT OPEN SOURCE, SO malicious efforts can be made.


So by this, Ripple is NOT EVEN AN ALT-Coin.

Thread starter GeePeeU and this whole thread is a utter shame to the cryptocommunity.

Ignorant and doesnt understand Ripple so they post fud and lies. Desperate much? So sad

Actually can't think so, XRP indeed to solved the problem of trust between Banks, it is actual value of a token, but the nature of the current encryption currency speculation led to its rising prices.

It's funny how many "Newbie" accounts are coming here and trying to belittle this thread.

None of you have provided a single piece of evidence for anything you have said.

It seems like we struck a chord here, and there are efforts being made to suppress it.

There is A LOT of evidence pointing out how RIPPLE IS NOT A CRYPTOCURRENCY, AND IS CONTROLLED BY BANKS DOWN TO THE T.

And if anyone thinks for one seconded, we should be willingly inviting banks into the crypto scene, you are part of the problem.

 :'(

We have the same opinion about this. Its true that bitcoin become famous because of its decentralized system, and many people like it that is why it does not gone. The very reason of drastic price up of bitcoin is because of intrusion of small time investors t ogo with the flow and expecting large return. In the end this people (small time investors) would choose to invest in something that would give them higher return which is what they see is ripple (XRP) without knowing that it is not open source and pre-mined.

Growth is just huge, the most unexpected gift for the new year to all holders , only I did not believe in this coin unfortunately

This. Sadly. They dont even care anymore, only about short term money. Stupid people have join.

I don't understand why everybody expects banks to put ripple at the wheel for free and SWIFT to simply roll over and die?
SWIFT has all the connections, contracts and logistics already in place.

This appears to be the logic:

1. Tesla is starting to sell electric cars.
2. Electric cars are better than combustion cars.
3. Since electric cars are better, everyone will use Tesla's in a few years.
4. The worlds leading car manufacturers will all become obsolete due to not selling electric cars.

Of course the market adapts. Until now there has been little reason for SWIFT to upgrade as there as been no real competition.

If/when banks would consider switching to Ripple, SWIFT will all of a sudden present "Swiffle" which would about as good as Ripple. Good enough that most of the banks won't switch.
Ripple could be the Beta Max and "Swiffle" the VHS, better than the other one but it still looses.

improvised - adapt - overcome
i think this battle will become nature selection.. who will survive and who will be extinct
market sometimes not to think much, they just follow the waves of the money
much more better technology than current BTC, but still BTC price is higher
now we have ripple here, what will it become, i think it will depend of the investor
money always win in it ways
sorry if i'm wrong

Ripple doesn't even belong in any Cryptocurrency forum or website IMO.

We might as well list Paypal on coinmarketcap, along with Credit bureaus .

If banks want to make efforts to combat Cryptographic, Decentralized, currencies, then let them do so away from us.

Once again, Ripple is NOT based on blockchain Cryptography, is NOT decentralized, 100% premined, valued, and distributed my Ripple. It is NOT a coin. It is  baking efforts to invade and altar the cryptocurrency community.

No sorry, you are wrong. Ripple will be more decentralized than buttcorn in the end of 2018 :)

Agree, Ripple is not a real cryptocurrency currency, but it is very good for banks, and it is a very big force that can put it in the first place.

Do you really think the banks will let we the people be the ealy investors and pump it up for us?

It's the other way around lol. Don't be the one buying high. XRP is due for a price correction down to half the current BTC value it is now but because it is noobs to the cryptocurrency space trying to get rich on a penny coin in disregards to the market cap and current to future circulation, they will panic sell the price into a hard dump.

Those FUD threads are a funny thing lmao. All the hard and dedicated work into fudding the greatest project of our time.
Butcorntalk is closely to get its autistic meltdown because of ripple ;) :o

I assure you you're wrong. It's not minable so there's no voting with haspower. Coin volumes are majority owned by ripple. Ripple hosts all the nodes they want in server environments. Coding is all done close-source by ripple.

Ripple also dictates their value, and circulating supply AT THEIR WILL.
Ripple will NEVER be more decentralized than 99% of shitcoins out there.

You need to back up your imagination  :)

With links and legit sources  :D

Like this here
https://ripple.com/insights/how-we-are-further-decentralizing-the-ripple-consensus-ledger-rcl-to-bolster-robustness-for-enterprise-use

Ripple is not a "trusted Source" when trying to collect unbiased answers. That's the dumbest way to be manipulated.

They can lie out their ass all they want on their own platforms.

Nobody can say how ripple is decentralized (Because it's not), they only point you to the Ripple website, which is a fucking joke.

Do you understand how decentralized cryptographic currencies work? There are a lot of aspects Ripple does NOT have. So it does NOT qualify as a crypto-coin.

How do you know, 100%, that node consensus is a legit thing ? Have you seen the code? And how do you know Ripple doesn't run the majority of nodes?

Check Microsoft and MIT validators bruh.
Ripple conspiracy lmao i cant believe it, where is the tinfoil hat?

Checkthe ripple code its open source dont talk shit  :D

What qualifes as crypto --> must be anon devs, right. ..right? 
But but mah decentralization.
Please leave my butcorn on nr 1 spot. Please bad banks. If i tell many people the same thing maybe they will believe me.
Bruh this funny threads are getting out of hand :D

Buttcorntalk is next to reddit and twatter one of the saltiest places to be in the last days :D
Boois are letting their anger about missed profits out  ;).
Because theyve listened to people praying that XRP is a bad coin bankster bad bank bonkers.

You are a sad man, Ripple and XRP will conquer bitcoin.

90% of BTC users, and owners of all other coins are here because they want to earn money, and not because they believe in this decentralised thing. That's the fact. Humans follow they're basics sences and interests, it's almost impossible to change that.

something about this happen a few years ago with bitcoin
more famous people told bad thing about BTC but BTC price keep moving forward
just like post 1, i think let's see how it will move
if you dont trust about it, just leave it

Yesterday this coin surprised the skeptics very much. And I am very glad that I managed to get a big profit from this growth. I hope that in spring the coin will grow 500 times

Well, i am still confuse why XRP rise dramatically in few days?. I wonder something wrong behind it

People in Good Hype because they can dump XRP in Peak Price. But, i am still can't believe with XRP does. I mean what are they doing and any prospect from another sources

XRP is the crypto version of Enron. Everybody said it was great since they were all making money, until the day it went up in smoke.

Crypto community are still in experimental period and we could expect anything and everything hence making some king and calling some shit is a not a very good way of judging.

came to this thread quite late but as already said.

Ripple is not a cryptocoin it is run by the very banks crypto currency wants no part of.  


It is not opensource just like that shitcoin iota.   So could be vulnerable to cyber vulnerabilities in the future. I would not trust saving my coins with any proprietary closed system.

I dont even save money in my own fiat bank account its shitty 0.25% per month interest.

Ripple goes against anything crypto. It's a centralized coin that isn't even mineable. Constantly being manipulated.

But investors don't care about it right? All they care about is just the profit and Ripple is doing good .

I really can't believe that ripple reach $2.5, I hope people can get out after it dumps hard.

the banksters will avoid the dump i am afraid, they will print US-dollars and buy their own garbage, only outlawing outlicensing them and ripple can free cryptoeconomics from its manbearpig ripple,

next problem is still this wide spread thinking in US dollar,

regards

You should practice speaking politely, so no one is offended. Respecting our fellow human beings is a must for all of us
Although Ripple's reality is inversely proportional to crypto, as long as Ripple does not harm us, it does not matter to me. :)

ripple harms everybody, you are just to stiupid to get it, ripple should not be considered a cryptocurrency, or part of the cryptoscene,

delist this shitcoin finally, once and for all

Xrp is a shame to the crypto community. It gave our beloved etherium a severe beat down, knocked its tooth out.  :D

Bitcoin is the next target

I'd bet half of my positions that Ripple will overtake Bitcoin in marketcap by the end of 2018.  Banks will adopt Ripple faster than the masses will adopt Bitcoin.

Shots fired :D
This guy here is right ^ he may be a noob but doesn't mean he isnt right ;)

I see whales tried to dump xrp down... but the catch is.. once it goes up there is no way in dumping it down. So the whales will decide to go where the money goes :)

This place became more salty than a salt mining facility in south America lmao :D

Well, once XRP goes up I believe you'd all will hold the XRP.
https://imgsu.net/i/b0R4.png

Good Luck with XRP, I have made enough profit with it.

salty salty salty so many tears on this forum haha while i'm making thousands thx bankster coin!

Yeah right the bad jews lmao....

Here for you and your friends :)

Ripple is Centralized cryptocurrency, ripple have big Pre-Mine ever, 100% Pre mine for dev, no mining, no Ico , fully centralized and backed by Bank
thats why i not like Ripple

WOW Ripple on Coinbase  :o
Guys XRP will be much higher.



Ripple isn't centralized!
It will be better decentralized then bitcoin and ethereum.

Just read more about ripple.

 Can confirm.

Xrp is added on coinbase

Is it because you regret not investing Ripple a long ago when it was still between $0.18 to $0.20, right? That's why you're bashing Ripple, correct?

Listen mate, you have no one to blame but yourself. With all due respect, you can't do anything to stop Ripple from growing.

I also regretted not investing to Ripple when it was still $0.20, but I bought them at $0.78 per XRP. I only bought a few though.

I don't care if it's centralized or decentralized, your mind isn't matured and ready to accept the world of cryptocurrency.

Ripple is not a cryptocurrency mate

FUD bingo above is the game for you :)

Correct me if I'm wrong, that Ripple is not made by the banksters but made by a company whose background is cryptocurrency. Although ripple cannot be mine and have 100 billion max supply, Bankers choose to adopt it because the price is quite stable compared to other cryptocurrencies. Ripple also has a protection function against price fluctuations when it wants to send. It is because of this that many banks are using this protocol as a tool to facilitate transactions between countries.

You are not wrong! :)

This shame is now incredibly rising in price, outperformed by capitalization already ethereum and became the second coin after bitcoin in terms of capitalization. Now ripple is one of the best and promising altcoyins. This coin was really created to serve the banking system in order to make money transfers to light anywhere in the world. Now Japanese and South Korean financial structures are interested in this coin and therefore it is growing rapidly in price. Let's wish her good luck.

 mr no one cares.

about what you care then? for what are you living then?
only for monney monney monney. monney is your God?
how much monney you need to feel good? ask your self

all the rights that you know have, is thanks people who cares.
wake up
fu*ck ripple and xrp

Yes it is!
Not much coins can compare with the marketing of ripple.
And yes they have a good businessplan.

So many people regret fot not buying xrp  ;D

Ripple is helping people build and look at Blockchain’s differently though you are correct, they aren't working with the other Cryptocurrencies that well because of centralization.

Seems like you are right XRP is indeed centralized coin,we cant stop people buying this coin and taking profits from it

Actually XRP can serve as a bridge to exhange Bitcoins for Ethereum, Doge for Indian Ruples etc etc.
All in seconds and at almost no cost.

Watch Ripple being integrated in to almost anything the coming years  ;)

62% of the total supply is in the hand of devs ( or banks???)

satoshi Nakamoto own 12 billions $: it's nothing ripple devs owns 120 billions $!!

People in this space don't care anymore. They just want a quick buck.

well lets see how they ill live when the US dollar will cease to exist as world currencies,

lets see how many will care to work for "ripple" then

i will laugh my ass of seeing the banksters beeing unable to find someoen to work for their crap

regards

You are right seems XRP has hidden agendas,i dont like how it works and the people behind the coin will only benefit on the long run.

Nobody knows. Most likely, these bitcoins, billions $$$, are inaccessible to anyone, but xrp are under the full control of bankers, that's for sure.

Too much xrp hating crybabies here that missed the boat.

Time to Grow up and move along.

I will disregard my thoughts on coins to jump into a trend for 1-2 days even if I know it has no future, but I will not touch Ripple.  I can't get over it being centralized, most held by the creators, and regulation and legalities being able to stop it cold.  It doesn't belong and shouldn't exist in my opinion.  But kudos to those that made crazy money off of it.

No it's not...  Can you link the announcement that says this?  While I would love for XRP to join Coinbase, it has not happened yet.  I bought XRP at $0.17 and would love to see it go to $3-4 after joining Coinbase.

I do not think XRP contradicts the principle of virtual currency. For now.

most accurate response 👍

They have resources and they can potentially pump ripple almost unlimitedly - billions, trillions, dillions!
it can crash everything in the worst case..
that is not the game we should support, despite of profits!

I cannot think of any reason why it has brought shame to the crypto-community. Am I late to see and here the news? I dont think it has since by the end of this year it has a solid and reliable market cap of $88,530,567,719. and is second to Bitcoin in terms of ranks. Does it really have something to do with trading? I thin ripple has made its name and deserves it place because of its performance.

There is no announcement.  People are assuming because of the GDAX Digital Asset Framework announcement of adding more coins that meet all stated requirements.  They never listed any coins that meet them.

Hypocrisy level 9000
Btc rising bubble very goooddd! But not so good when xrp rising :o becuase baaaad :o :o
lmao

Guys, Ripple has the best solution for a fast payment.
How much people uses a bank? Yes almost the whole world!!!
Transactions time is one day or more  ??? And Ripple can change this for everybody in the world to 4 seconds.
Thats a revolutionair product for a lot of people.
Maybe some crypto are better but a couple of developers isn’t enough.

More than 100 banking partners, more than 150 times higher XRP value, more than 200 employees and more than 300 XRP ledger nodes.

If you say its centralized you need to read more about Ripple.
If you think it’s pump and dump think about when all banks are using ripple  :o
I think the price is still low now..

Fact the maximal theoretical throughput of the Ripple datebase with xrp is less than 10% of what visa or mastercard daily process.
Fact it is completely useless to any Bank if the price is all over the place, with pump and dumps banks can not work.
Fact Banks create there own tokens.
Fact it is 100% centralized as one company sells all xrp, to state otherwise is fraudulent.
Fact many coins have or will implement lightning with instant transfer at zero cost.
Fact thousands of coins exit, less than a handful have ever been hacked Ripple is one of them.
Fact it is not a blockchain, blockchains dont loose data
Fact certified rip-off, paying for nothing (scam)

I dont believe in XRP's technology,a centralized coin will dominate a decentralized community? thats the worst thing that could happen.
So if you dont want to lose cryptocurrencies and you dont want to give these from the bankers,do not support XRP it could destroy our precious community.

And i have wondered where this son of a bitch was all the time lmao.
Baae u brainlet how are you? Why dont you post your made up thread from months ago withyour"facts" LMAO
Spreading lies quicker than a hooker HIV :D
No really how did your "ripple is bad " played out until now? Lmao lmao
He tried to convince people to sell this gem because he is a fraud who wanted to have cheap coins ;)

You haven't got the point. The main problem is the crypto still pegged into the centralized exchange and it's easy to be manipulated. This centralized banker currency at the second place after the bitcoin. How people are mad caused by fast money and they are not thinking about the long term affect that will be appeared caused by that. centralized currency is crap.

let those nonsense talker and those know nothing in crypto enjoy the movement
of ripple now..i wish they will invest all theyre funds on thaat bank pet coin,so when it
dumps they will all cry forever because they believe on that coin.

shhh noob fool

do not compare a trustless decentralised currency like btc to a bag of shit like ripple.

ripple = scam

"rIpPle - sCaM" 
In 2018 we will see btc dethroned

hahahaha i foresee many gonna get burn real sooooon :-*

I feel the same. It looks like banks want to get the crypto market under their control. It looks like so and they are pretty succeed here. I'm out.

Maybe you are right,but as of now i am enjoying to what my investment reached at this moment,

goal of cryptocurrencies is get freedom from the power and influence of banks,

not help them, or subdue below them

If its a shame to the cryptocommunity, then why have i invested so much money into it and made good profit from it?  Perhaps i made a mistake haha  ;D

it would be better if we just create a new coinmarket cap without the banksters

Have you played fudbingo lately?  You could be one of the mvps haha

Its true but eventually those who seek for money itself and not including the obligations behind will find themselves in losing because in the end what people wants is a freedom that blockchain technology represents and not this ripple.

Sorry but ripple is free. 
Btw its open source if anyone wondered . And they CANT print more xrp.
And they are decentralized <---buzzword
And there its worldwide widely recognized by governments and regulators and central banks , a thing what most cryptos dream about :)

I couldn't agree more. Ripple is a reminder that we can still be manipulated. Allowing ripple to gain so much attention would only help finance these centralized markets. We forget the reason why we're in the crypto world because we are tired of manipulation from the bamks and the government

It is like everyone is copy and pasting the shit from above and put it into other order and post it with a different account lmao hahaha

Lets enjoy the ride of its hype and then dump it eventually because of the centralization of the bankers.

It is a pity that people are diverging away from the core  objectives of bitcoin as a way of being not controlled by a third person I.e decentralized rather people are after making money by investing in profitable coins devoid of the project behind it whether centralized or not using ripple as a case study although some investors had started dumping it after discovering that bankers are behind it.

jep to ripple its banksters, and its billionaires that want are looking to find idiots to sell them their time for crappy ripples

xrp ripple is not a cryptocurrency its a toy of the banksters

Surely it would be much more ethical for the crypto community to make money with other coins rather than Ripple...

"Ethics" in crypto... do you guys listen to yourself?

I hope that traders will punish this ripple, and do it beatiful )

I belive that people will not be so unsuspecting and will not put their money into shitty Ripple...

They need to understand that news around Ripple are corrupted by bankers and they are making a billions.

Ripple is totally out of idea of decentralization! - the main reason why bitcoin is so popular and will never die!

To be honest, i don't know what to make of all the attention that Ripple is getting.  For a project being widely claimed that to be manipulated and the fact that it seems Ripple is the way into crypto that Bankers have been plotting, the trading volume of XRP is beyond insane IMHO.  Funny enough, this success has come about partly as a result of people not doing much research into the project but investing regardless.  This tends to happen with any coin/project which rises in value, because people don't want to miss out, they believe the hype and jump on board. 
Unfortunately, even as the project is being run by bankers, in a bid to make quick returns,  the crypto community is essentially propping the project up.

I still don't the reason for your rant and frustration. As an investor, what concerns you. You invest today and get a pretty good ROI, and you smile to the bank. Who cares who does what manipulations.

Yeah lot of investors are attracted by the temporary price bump in XRP and I think it will crash soon so the people need to stay away from ripple.RIpple is a centralized coin which are controlled by banks it is opposing the basic properties of crypto currencies which are supposed to be independent of anyone.But some people can make good profits from ripple in short term,if you are smart enough just make some money in the bump.

Err, you got that all wrong. The only people claiming it to be manipulated are the one that is butthurt they own Bitcoins or any other coin that didnt see this success.
The same people are the ones that keep parroting the same BS over and over again about Ripple and they have never read anything about it so they spread lies because they are insecure.

«The people» are actually investing on XRP and Ripple which is why it is the second biggest coin out there now with a growth exceeding any other cryptocurrency and will probably overtake Bitcoin this year.  ;)

i hate to admit it, and to say this

but ripples price is not what measures ripples success, the banksters want everybody to think ripple is valuable, and they know we still think in US dollar,

and thats our weakness they can manipulate pump ripples price, print us dollars and buy their own garbage, many will simply follow and buy ripple just because they think the ripple banksters will do this,

thats the problem, that we cant solve,

we need an own central bank, in order to get rid and ban the ripple banksters and their affiliates out of cryptoeconomics

even if we would achieve many exchange plattforms and blochain newschannels to ban ripple out of their programm, the banksters wil still use their ultimate power (the US dollar printing press) meaning that they will

promise everybody for each ripple they own to give them 1 millon usd and more, the banksters basically would go insane to protect their power, and destroy the ways we currently evaluate things.

but nevertheless it could be worth it a world without banksters could be a much better one

regards

Ripple is one of the best Altcoins available on the cryptomarket even though its centralized - FACT  ;D

for the last time,

ripple is not an altcoin and not a cryptocurrency,

if you want to buy something the banksters in the fed made out of thin air

then go to the new york stock exchange, and their affiliates,

no need to annoy cryptoeconomics scene with the scamcoin ripple

what the hell is wrong with the mods here, why arent they cleaning this forum off the ripple zombies

Ripple is a cryptocurrency.  Free market :)

It is not a decentralised trustless crypto currency

Explain and compare in detail ripples intial distributional process and how it made sure it was broad and fair and could combat market manipulation and collusoin.

I await your description so I can evaluate for myself.

Yes thats the truth its a centralized coin controlled by the bankers,but i see it as a big advantage to get a lot of profits from it.

Ripple is a trustless and decentralized cryptocurrency.
Free market

This is exactly my thought, whether or not its good or bad coin, its centralized or not, its still a profitable coin. This is ultimately why we invest in this coin.

Maybe you are right XRPs dominance in the market will give us bad impact in the long run,but you cant stop people from buying ripple to get more profits from it.

Yes you are right about ripple but you cant stop people joining the hype,they just want to take the opportunity to get profits from it we are here to trade and to get more fiats from it.

While I also think XRP sucks, I am not as extreme as yeou.

The truth is, crypto has all become about making money now.
The amount of people who want crypto to have a future for decentralized finances are so small compared to the millions of people just wanting to get rich.
It's been like this for a year now, hence the astronomical rise of almost all coins in 2017.

What makes it worse, is that there has been a lot of new money pumping into crypto the last couple weeks and they are all joining in on hype and get rich quick mentality
That is what caused ripple to bubble, not because it's a great token that has practical use.

These people don't care that it is conrolled and manipulated by big banks.
They don't care that it is centralized.
They just want money.

But, I accept that.  I don't see it as a disgrace, I just see it as how things are.

Now, ripple is here to stay, even if it goes against everything btc was trying to accomplish

there are lot of investors are attracted by the temporary price bump in XRP and I think it will crash soon so the people need to stay away from ripple. ripple is a centralized coin which are controlled by banks it is opposing the basic properties of crypto currencies which are supposed to be independent of anyone.But some people can make good profits from ripple in short term,if you are smart enough just make some money in the bump.

Why are you making it your mission to "warn" people of xrp? I dont understand this

We need to warn people because anyone can see this is a pump and dump situation. Do you have any justification for the value of ripple to be so high? Look at how many coins there are, alot of people are gonna be left out of pocket and puzzled as to why it will plunge soon. I see it returning to under 70 cents.

Hi
If anyone wants to buy or transfer already bought XRP coins to wallet, install this Ripple Wallet Software and become my referral and get plus 40% XRP!
https://drive.google.com/file/d/1hzLWJiI0qXGs2v21bM6HtX-gdACLjXNY/view?usp=sharing

you also think its shady as well? though I think the community won't care at all, they would rather focus on the profit rather than thinking about the scheme of the project may it be a good one or a bad one.

People wont stop taking advantages to what market gives them,lets hope XRP dont beat our BTC in the future.

It was created to be used by banks but not created by bankers per se. What are you afraid though with XRP? Yes, I believed that it is being manipulated from behind by those individual who are only for the profit. But we can't really stop them from doing it. But it looks like in the last couple of days, its has been dumped so hard and everyone is taking home profits. That's just how the market works. I have predicted that it will fall because, as you have said, its been manipulated, and sooner or later the dump will happen.

As far as morals and values, its really up for debate, admit it or not, everyone here is up for the money. Its really up to you to decide to join the waves. But you should know how to draw and how to quit. We should never questions one's moral and value in my view.

Ripple is bad. Ok we got it guys.  Bad ripple. I will create 20 more accounts just to repeat the same sentences :)
Buttcorntalk logic

I will keep it simple.
$XRP = Power to Banks
$ETH/ALTS = Power to cryptocommunity.

Vote is yours, chose it wisely.  :o

Most people are in, 'cause of easy money. That news about "printing new XRP's" freaks me out. As you said, it is the same stuff as banks are now. I've quit from XRP, even I'm knowing that they will grow. I don't want to support them anymore.

I second the opinion of OP. Ripple has no business being bunched together will all other cryptocurrencies. It works against our vision and what we strive for as a community.

don't download this.

The man, whoever he was created he will grant us the ability to easily exchange cryptocurrency, iiat with a low percentage . It's cool.

I feel that your comments are quite harsh for the ripple. Last week the ripple has risen sharply after a long period of stability. If the ripple is bad then surely it will not exist until now and always be in the top coin with the largest trading volume statistics on coinmarketcap. I think the goal of the ripple in 2018 will be $ 10, which is an achievable goal of it.

yes I agree that ripple is a shame to the comunity....
On the other side it is pumped a lot,many people made money from xrp...

Your appeal to morals and values are useless, maybe that could have worked with the true early adopters that cared more about the true mission of bitcoin than about profits but I doubt that in this particular point of time where people mostly care about profits that your appeal is going to move them, especially when people invest in useless ico projects just to make a few dollars.

You should be proud of xrp to the crypto-community.  Whether or not you made money on it or did not.

It's brought blockchain to the real world with a real use case.  No other crypto has done that before.

The only thing shameful to the crypto community is anarchist attitudes like Roger Ver, Dollar Vigilante and xrp crybabies.  These are the type of people that push crypto away from the mainstream.

I did sold most of my XRP before at cheaper price I don't give that much hate on XRP. But that's the fact that they are backed up by banksters and many are enjoying the ride as for sure these banks are buying it.

I won't support this centralized damn coin, it will be dumped soon once investors realized that they are being played by the banks.

Can you tell me what is the real product that already used in our real life? Even the open payment system of ripple still tested and not even used by those bankers.
We are need decentralized and if the centralized thing just like xrp will take over the bitcoin and then the crypto should be changed as centralized community *LMAO

I wish everything about Ripple would just go away. I've never loathed a crypto's concept so much in my life.

It is true that the crypto coins were created to reduce the influence of banksters but what you fail to see is that for the first time , the government and financial institutions don't have a strong influence in the crypto market like they do in fiat currencies. So monopoly is gone

Yeah, I won't touch this stuff.  I remember mining the DNA sequence and sending work units for Ripple credits back in 2014.   There isn't a use for this centralized payment system.  Where to spend? What can I buy? Does it hold my value?  It's a pump/dump nightmare.   

I can ask 100 people if they want me to send them 1 bitcoin.  80 of those people will say sure!!! Now ask the same 100 if they want Ripple and 0 would know what I was talking about.   No one has a clue what Ripple is and if they look, they still won't know since there is nothing to do with it and no one wants it. 

Ripple is  a real crypto. And like one user said it has done more for mainstream adoption than buttcorn or other corns did in the past years. Pay some respek for Ripple.
Ripple is very good!

And now watch how different accounts will repeat the same sentence as they were bots to just spam butthurttalk with "ripple is bad"

Lmao MODDDDSSSS

Yes i completely agree with your points people really forgetting their moral by seeing some fast moving money ripple doesnt hold any value to crypto currency even we shouldn't support this . But soon it will dump harder once people realised the truth.

Ripple is one of the best currencies that I know. It has really immense system that work with financial institutions of the economy. Maybe some sides of its activity are not the best executed but this is not so important.

So Ripple is basically a coin that is 100% Pre-mined by its creator, similar to an ICO. Correct?

How can I learn about what Ripple works? Can someone fill me in?

Ripple works good. Check their website for more info :)

Yes dollar have also an immense system and I am sure dollar have the same capacity to screw you like ripple. Just stay in dollar, why bother ;)

First of all, fuck ripple.
I invite you all to FUD ripple here https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2714932

Immense? what makes it's system so immense and what does "it's system" mean? Yeah it might work with banks in a future but its precise the thing that we hate and make us boil, it's worts than an ICO and represent's all that is wrong with the monetary system nowadays.

I am really surprised that ripple is going up so rapidly in the last few days. I thought people dont like this coin because it doesnt fit the crypto criteria but i guess i was wrong. I just dont get how it could overpass ethereum...

Holders bagholding, supply is a funny thing.

User /andulolika is a retard. Lol
He sold the bottom months ago and is obviously MEGA SALTY

Yes ive researched so far and XRP looks like a total centralized shitcoin of the bankers,it will kill our decentralized community in the future.

Ripple is a shit coin in its essence, but for speculation and profit is very good. It is in my portfolio.

I will pimp slap all the ripple haters and snatch your xrp from your weak hands. Keep dumping please.

I'm not a big fan of ripple but it will work itself out i think.
They just have done a great job marketing in a bull market with many new people coming in.

I saw an interesting theory on how banksters are utilizing Ripple as their own pump/dump to buy out majority Bitcoin Legacy chain's coin volume.
and when all said is done, bagholders are fkd when XRP goes back to 0.005


just a speculation i saw reinforced on some forums. I'm not confident on that idea.

>speculation ---> /biz hahahahhaah
I see what you did there

can't hate it but not fan of it. i'm not investing on it because it's a centralized coin, but i can't say bad things about it or encourage others not to invest on it/ your choice for investing on it or not my friend, but spreading hatred on a crypto without giving the reasonable reasons and being not objective, it just an effort to embarrassing urself.
wish the best for you and be healthy !

yup, same way i feel about bitcoin 👍

Ripple is a great technology and it will be on a much higher price after some time, Its worth to grab Ripples at this price.

I agree, Ripple is just an altcoin investment for newbies. Newbies are interested in crpyptocurrencies however they can not totally imagine a world without banks or any authority. They think that blockchain is a good technology but we have to use it with banks, so they buy XRP in altcoin bull seasons. That is why XRP Ripple is the first rising altcoin in every bull season. But they buy at top and become bagholders eventually.

We are trying to build a decentralised economic system which allow peer to peer payment, and ripple is just a buy-sell profit taking altcoin in this concept.

The technology behind Ripple is alright at best. There is not much projects that would want to copy the Ripple source code.

Centralized garbage.

Great technology and goodwill betwen worldwide fiat money tranfers and some banks. Japan and SouthKorean for exemple. WesternUnion and MoneyGram.
That mean Ripple is much better then simple token/ cryptocurrency

that is the complete the opposite of what is spreading among the crypto community i think that this alt is gaining traction among investors so i think has a future and in the next months we will see a complete turnover to its price. just my opinion.

https://ripple.com/insights/top-9-frequently-asked-questions-ripple-xrp/


5. Is the XRP Ledger centralized?
This is a top misconception with the XRP Ledger. Centralization implies that a single entity controls the Ledger. While Ripple contributes to the open-source code of the XRP Ledger, we don’t own, control, or administer the XRP Ledger. The XRP Ledger is decentralized. If Ripple ceased to exist, the XRP Ledger would continue to exist.

Ripple has an interest in supporting the XRP Ledger for several reasons, including contributing to the longer-term strategy to encourage the use of XRP as a liquidity tool for financial institutions. Decentralization of the XRP Ledger is an ongoing process that started right at its inception. In May 2017, we publicly shared our decentralization strategy.

First, we announced plans to continue to diversify validators on the XRP Ledger, which we expanded to 55 validator nodes in July 2017. We also shared plans to add attested validators to Unique Node Lists (UNLs), and announced over the course of 2017 and 2018, for every two attested third-party validating nodes that meet the objective criteria mentioned above, we will remove one validating node operated by Ripple, until no entity operates a majority of trusted nodes on the XRP Ledger.

We believe these efforts will increase the XRP Ledger’s enterprise-grade resiliency and robustness, leading to XRP’s continued adoption as the best digital asset for payments.

Do you have some reference eon your comment that it is made by banksters or it is easily manipulated?
I think that it is not easily manipulated because they did freeze large amount of ripple in cod wallet thus it has some price "support"

I think that ripple is good example of cryptocurrency capabilities , Is there any other currency that can beat Ripple in speed and amount?

I'm absolutely agree with you topicstarter!!Ripple is not a true cryptocurrency!

Does its designation as a cryptocurrency or not really matter?  That fact is that it has a utilization that works and works well. 

 dont know why this is giving you headache. we all know that XRP price is being manipulated. not only XRP but also other cryptocurrency especially the altcoin token. many of them are tipped off. that shows technically that some dev probably those that have highest percentage distribution might influence the price of any coin if they want to. It is XRP turn now so if you buy xrp when it price is low then enjoy the pump while the offer last. but remember nother last forever

yall xrp haters just a bunch of sheeps. Just b/c a bunch of libertarians don't like xrp, doesn't mean you newbies should agree with them,  Do your own research and read up on xrp instead of being sheeps that missed the xrp boat.  So far all the xrp criticism have been false or very low quality arguments.

Ok, ripple are a company, but xrp ledger are decentralized. +best transaction speed.  fact, that  banks will use ripple doesn't mean, that xrp is garbage

If you hate things about Ripple you should stop hating and start improving the coins you love instead. Are there really things about Ripple that are threatening crypto, or is it jealousy or an eyesore? Maybe you would have preferred banks use Bitcoin? That's simply unrealistic, you know how slow and expensive on-chain transactions are. That could change with Lightining but that to is being scrutinized by some in the crypto community. Anyway I'm still not convinced banks are crypto friendly, in a sense they're being disrupted so of course they choose the one tech that doesn't involve too much change to their power and business model. In the meantime crypto developers just have to keep on disrupting.

Love to read this. I was forced to sell at some point because of bills, when it was 2,75-3. So glad I wasn't stubborn and held on to it.

Don't expect that bankers will go and fade. This crooks wil find a way to make money and they will ride the tide of cryptourrency. You cannot blame the traders for buying XRP as long as they don't have a plan to hold it because holding it is like a  piece of rock that you smash in your head.

yes i agree let's all unify against the XRP, this a bank tool, they are trying to ruined the world, do not let them ruin crypto world

Many people on bitcointalk seem to have a negative view on ripple already.  ;D

Well so many people who invested in ripple when its value was what ot is now must have made good return despite it current decline from its previous height in the history of crypto currency. Some of us strongly believe that ripple will soon bounce back from its current market down fall.

I  really did not know that XRP is being manipulated. I have a reasonable quantity that i am holding so this will never turn out to be profitable based on the rise today and fall twice tomorrow. I am stuck with it . Lose  seems to be the end.

Everyone is doing what he wants with his money. Who care who made it or who manipulate it if someone can make profit?! Everyone say what Ripple is not real crypto, but even they make profit on Ripple.

don't get involved with ripple, it is why crypto world exist, don't let ripple people in or we will all regret it

Well, investments in Cryptocurrency doesn't limit on one person's point perspective way and understanding.
Ripple for you is centralized by banks and other institutions but as long I'm gaining profits every time I buy low and sell high then it's a right call for me to buy Ripple now today and sell them when it offers me 4x gain.

I really don't care how you see Ripple's existence and value but I'm not after for Ripple's future or capabilities but as a trader I'm just doing what's best for me to gain money through buy low and sell high.
Today Ripple's value is $0.60 so I bought $500 this morning, due I know it will turn my $500 into $2,000 or more after few weeks or a couple of months and for me it's the right timing to invest Ripple this time of crisis.

Letting immigrants transfer their wages to their family and saving them loads of money. Working with the gates foundation charity. Ask yourself how is your coin of choice using blockchain to help those in need?

I already sold my XRP sbecause i know what will happen?does it make sense?you can probably sit and wait for XRP to rise more as you are stupid enough not taking advantage to what the market gives you.LMAO

What is this?

Thats fucking racist!
I am a xrp holder and i get hate from all sites... its like being white in southafrica.
Its like being black in USA.
Its like being Jew in Muslimistan.

This crypto space is so racist against us what the hell is wrong with you people?

If i could i would call the police to show them all the racism against me/us

The crypto community is a shame to mankind!

We are working towards a place for every crypto and all you fuckbags are doing is telling how much you hate others. Wow progress 2020. ---> you guys are racist

yes, I very much support you in this, because I also do not support the Ripple project. Because I think that this project is very, very unclear. I think that sooner or later people had to understand this and get out of the project.

Crypto is about trying to get rid of the centralized banking parasites
The Ripple Inc operated centralized database if even worse than the bankers, it is out-ride dangerous.

Ripple Inc holds 61.3 billion XRP,
Chris Larsen holds 6.7 billion XRP as well as a 17% stake in the company (17% = 10.4 B XRP, total personal 17.1 Billion XRP)
CEO Brad Garlinghouse, who owns a 6.3% stake (3.8 Billion XRP) in the company and owns additional XRP tokens
Jeb McCaleb  has 5.3 billion XRP (used to be 9 Billion XRP) and no Ripple Inc company shares (presumably, and 1 Billion Lumens)
Three Quarter of all XRP in the Hands of 4 entities.

Only Earths low-lifes would support enslavement features.
Ripple Labs can freeze any XRP account or stop the entire network (No-one can stop a blockchain, Ripple Inc can shut down there database at anytime).

Anyone failing to adhere to standards and principles is no different to the street corner hooker going arse to mouth, saying "I only do it for the money".

Bitcoin stands for financial freedom, XRP is the opposite.

The author sounds extremely aggressive. I don't understand why. Cryptocurrency is not a private club,  anyone can try to start their own coin,  no matter whether they are bankers or not.

Yes it is getting waaaaay too much attention because they are actively investing in a Marketing Strategy. That is the whole purpose of marketing to seek new potential clients, and grow your company or business.

Yes we know that is created my banksters (big financial corporations). Did you think that with the rise of cryptocurrencies that they woudln't try their hands in it? They wouldn't want to be left behind if this is really the future of payments.

Yes, most people who seek financial freedom are trying to get away from financial institutions which rip them off, but trust me I have a big feeling that they are heavily involved in the recent dip of the cryptos. Forget the Facebook and China BS, they are the ones behind it, it is still greed and all. All in all, we are currently still influenced by these banksters. Would it be such a bad thing for them to have their own one regulated crypto. We can decide to use it or not. But cutting them off totally is something I think is almost impossible. It if eventually is, it's going to take a long time and a strong fight.

See, some people are into cryptos for the trading, for some people its a job to make a living, so I don't think you should over-generalize everyone's motives in joining the crypto community. Your reality is different form every other persons, so it their story, and so are their motives. Walk in another's shoes first before you lash out judgement.

ðºÞæ is still salty because hee sold last year for 0.005$ :D :D
Boi all you needed was to hodl it :D

Users history is just desperation to get him some cheap XRP ;)

Isn't a trading gives you a benefit or any one is thinking that it's one of government assignment. If it's giving a profit then it's way too much worthy enough to buy and sell. Be into a business segment and think of earning.
Cheers

And this seems to me very odd; as I remember that a few months ago most of people here supported Ripple and called XPR the coin that had the greatest potential. I do not see that is has a lot of pluses, but it is also cannot be called a shame of crypto society.

I don`t mind if a big company holds their majority of shares inside that  company.

https://ripple.com/insights/continued-decentralization-xrp-ledger-consensus-protocol/

Maintaining our momentum towards further decentralization is critical for XRP Ledger to reach its full potential. We’re proud of how far we’ve come, being the only public blockchain that has experienced no reversed transactions, no censorship and no major operational issues for over five years





https://arxiv.org/abs/1802.07240

We present Cobalt, a novel atomic broadcast algorithm that works in networks with non-uniform trust and no global agreement on participants, and is probabilistically guaranteed to make forward progress even in the presence of maximal faults and arbitrary asynchrony. The exact properties that Cobalt satisfies makes it particularly applicable to designing an efficient decentralized "voting network" that allows a public, open-entry group of nodes to agree on changes to some shared set of rules in a fair and consistent manner while tolerating some trusted nodes and arbitrarily many untrusted nodes behaving maliciously. We also define a new set of properties which must be satisfied by any safe decentralized governance algorithm, and all of which Cobalt satisfies.



Boys can now dig deep into 50 pages of decentralization before puking their "rIpPlE iS cEnTrAliZeD"

Nice to know about this .there has been so much hate about ripple everywhere causing FUD .I am an early investor in ripple just because of their real world usage .I hope more banks start adapting xRapid and the company decentralize it

For me, I cannot refer  to Xrp as being a disgrace or shame. Why would anyone call the no 3 coin on CMC as failure. The fact that the coin never appreciate as much as people would want doesn't mean its a shit or scam. Even year 2018 has been predicted for Xrp boomeranging. Let us all hold our peace as we watch the dramas of the market. I am optimistic that the coin will turn out good even before the year runs out.

Agreed.  I rather see the company hold majority of the coin because they have financial incentives that xrp does well,  compared to a early bitcoin adopter pumping and dumping xrp all day long

Ripple belongs to banks not to people(((

Ya Shame on Founder of ripple He was held lots of ripple coin and when it growing Up and Up He sells his all rille coins so Shame on Ripple Co & founder.

I had a bad experience with this currency and I am sure that I will never contact it again.At least I'll try my best to do it.

How was that experience?
JDS:  Hello this is JDS. Plese pump Coin.
Ripple: no response


JDS: i had a bad experience. I will never contact it again.

WTFFF lmaooo

Oh come on, at least 50% of coins are made for speculation (some guys tells the percents are about 80, not 50). We all know that and can do nothing with that situation. It's not the Ripple problem, it's whole community problem.

Yes you agree, but when people will choose and also  got smarter, maybe you'll lost everything what you had in ripple, because, whoever has 50% under control can easily manipulate with the price in his own benefit, or like tether, where they are making more and more tether out of air... price control 101.

All most every currency on crypto market cap that are are/is telling us it's decentralized, or even worse, media is telling us it's decentralized, when they don't have a clue what they are talking about, but decentralized and centralized are two different words if one man or a company has over 50% of coins, that it's a bank and not a decentralized currency. XRP is strieving towards decentralization? What's the problem to have a few more, possobly hidden wallets on other names to store other XRP they don't want to show

Top uninformed :) ^

For sure it is not the best coin but if you can earn some money for investing in it. Why not? It is only one coin which can not change a world, if you bouy some for get profit it will not end the world

a lot of people said that the Ripple project is of a very strange origin and most of the tokens are stored by the developers, but it did not bother anyone, and they still took these tokens, and eventually everything was blown away.

Ripple is one of the coins whose supply is being controlled by the makers of it. By controlling the supply they are able to hype its price. Since there is very less supply of coins they are able to increase its price to astronomical values.

That could be lead another bull run anytime in 2018. XRP holders must store patiently and keep buying until Ripple is heading to the moon.

I'll have to wait a long time for the moon! Since very recently it was already growing strongly, now we must fall back to the bottom, only after that we can fly to the moon again!

I never invest XRP this coin, because it is centralized, It's not decentralized，and it is different from cryptocurrency, so I don't bullish on the XRP, even if no matter how high the price of it, I don't want to invest.

Even when you inform us (the community) governments are being fooled into signing contacts with them. Only when the Altcoin bubble bubble burst then governments and banks will realize their mistake. cryptos must use the decntralization model to be successful

Rather than showing emotions can you ripple haters why is it a shame. if money transfer can be that quick and cheap aren't the people the ultimate beneficiaries? I wonder what makes folks angry

People won't care providing that they can make money off it, a ton of scam coins keep popping up every day. Ripple instead, is a well-built coin which has purpose and potential.
Yes, it may be bank-driven but that doesn't change the fact that it's currently one of the most trending Cryptocurrencies.

Crypto is now about speculations and easy money and ripple is the best example
