Ok, perhaps it's not a real stable coin. But still, if you look at 2017 until 2019, it was relatively stable for a long time. From 20 to 40 cents. I think xrp is regulated because they need a stable price for their transactions. But there is some "magic" to it. When they "let it go" it can climb very very fast 10x. My suspicion is, if they need a higher price, they must increase price in a very short period of time. Maybe days or weeks and then hold it relatively stable for months or even years (0.25$ to 0.45$). 2017-2019
There is so much going on with xrp, so many good news and price stays stable like there was nothing at all. Sound familiar? What do you think about it. I think yes, it's possible xrp to get insane gains in a very short time but i think that "they" will decide if they gonna let it happen and when it's the right time for this to happen.

it's not until the company will be dumping the pre mined coin. if you are thinking the price of ripple will be stable and be careful with your prediction because you don't know about ETA of the premined coin to be dumped. That's the main problem when the companies are holding more than 60% of premined coin. This can become shitcoin anytime.

I kind of agree. It is weird how there is often so much good news with XRP, and yet nothing happens to the price - this is completely different to most other coins, that jump up or down in price on the slightest rumour.


Yes, the increases for XRP when they happen do seem to be very sharp and sudden. These aren't generally maintained though, like with the rise at the end of 2017 up to $3 - that very quickly fell back down again.

I do think a part of this may be due to the fact that XRP gets huge price effects from South Korea, and Coinmarketcap has in the past removed South Korean prices from the XRP average - so there may be a degree of smoothing out of extremes going on that you don't see with other coins.

Still though, it is weird.

After they burn some Supply coins the price will likely staying as it is. If is gonna rise, it rise only in a small amount of price unlike its other competitor who can double their prices when some bull run like this year's happen. the XRP is only stayed on a 0.4$ or something that's the hisghest amount of XRP that we saw this year.

stable price on xrp is because a huge support from their developer, all is possible,, but xrp will not rising as much as 2017 mate
because a lot of manipulations inside this xrp, as many people said about that buddy
remember xrp is a centralized cryptocurrency  ;)

Unfortunately or fortunately, many do not like the Ripl, it is centralized, manageable, and depends on the opinion of the creators. On the other hand, interesting news is constantly coming out of it, which makes it volatile.

Don't say fortunate at anywhere because this xrp coin is not a dollar worthy coin to invest your hard earned money. if you pick centralised cryptocurrency as your investment option definitely any two way to lose investment at any time.
Then price wise this coin staying at the same place from the past few years there is no growth, you need to think about it.

Who is "they"? And you're pretty much describing XRP as a pump and dump shitcoin, and that's enough of a reason to stay away from it.

What good news? Name at least 5 good news, stuff with substance btw, not just partnership nonsense that end up being forgotten in a few days.

Again, who is "they"? Why would anyone buy a crypto (which by the way, it's centralized) that's controlled by some sort of group working behind the scenes that can easily manipulate its price at their will?

After everything you've said, i don't think anyone would for fall for this 'XRP shill' attempt bullcrap. Good luck being a bad holder, though.

Ripple. More like stable coin rather than pump and dump. Well, a huge pump once in a year maybe.

XRP is one of the top cryptocurrencies and ever rich an ATH $3 in 2017 ago. The pricr had increased and most people didn't know exactly that Ripple is centralized coin, they only know XRP has many cooperation with a big companies and this is that made most people buy XRP nad we can see it for an ATH this coin. But when bearish market came and most people had realized that XRP is centralized coin they decided to move their investment to another altcoin. So, I this is the reason why XRP just stuck on $0.25-$0.45 price, different with another stable coin such as USDT Or tether who stable on $1.

I don't hold any xrp. I just described xrp as i see it. I think it's regulated in price and i mentioned  the reason for it.

Pretty right, someone control this centralize coin and never think that it will be making market strike. Actually, I hold some XRP before and I converted it when I saw no future of this coin, better to put it into other crypto coins. Its price will remain at that range and be forever unless the developer will do something and change their mind.

I haven't invested to XRP but I did noticed the same thing when someone has pointed it out on a social media page. No offense to the holders but I think that it's going to be difficult for this coin to reach back to its all time high.

You have a point, if you look at the time from when XRP dropped from $0.50 til now at least it has survived for a year plus in this range. When I bought in at that price I thought to myself that for sure it can reach $1 again, and who knows back to ATH and I make even more. I hold this because I am speculating on it and no other reason. But you could be right, we will never even see 50 cents any more for many years.

Its easy to a centralized coin to hype their coin, if the company moves to pump this coin again for sure FOMO will appear and that makes this coin more expensive again and after that big dump will start to happen again. I never tried to invest on XRP since after hitting the peak because I know there will be a hard time for this coin to go up again, and that is what happening right now, hodlers should have more patience.

I remember about the majority of governments and big companies have created a partnership with R3 and it looks like ripple has become the blockchain creator only but this one has nothing to do with the advantage from its own protocol and i can say ripple is losing the competition with R3. That makes the adoption of ripple decreased a lot and the price will never increase.

I would never advise to invest in XRP, but from a trader's perspective it sooo nice to ride those waves when Brad Garlinghouse releases the Kraken)

Does anyone still believe that ripple is a decentralized coin with volatility? O me, I don’t think so, ripple is just playing prank with investors and users, and within them, they are stabilizing the coin, and the fact that the coin is a banker coin, and in other to encourage banks and bankers to accept it, that is hoe they have to play the game, and I do not think that anyone should expect anything much from a project that is decentralized, but yet operate in a centralized way.

I am not even sure if they have real volume or they are just manipulating the data, since they are bankers, they have money to pump into it and make it look like people are investing. Very soon, their secret will really be uncovered, and the world will see them for who they really are.

Seeing Ripple's movements so far, I have never been interested in investing in Ripple. I have also never done short and long term trading on this coin,

I think xrp is one of the potential coins which can increase higher in the future especially in this year or next year. But the problem is we don't know how far the price will increase. Many people want to see xrp can increase 10x like before so they can make a lot of money from xrp. But I think xrp can do that and if the right time comes, xrp will increase and we will see a big profit from xrp.

hmm, I also think like the OP. The XRP coin will not pump like other coins ( such as bnb)  but It also did not dump like others. The stability of Xrp is really glamorous. And this coin can make a huge pump in this market because most of the top coin according to coinmarketcap are started to rise silently. But I think XRP can make huge pump in a short period like before. So we should keep an eye on it. 

are you forgoton on 2018 price when ripple came into $2?
it isn't stable when on 3 years have 10x price. they have mistaken, ripple company only want your money.

Yea, thats why i wrote relatively stable with occasional pumps in a short period of time.

I dont see any proggres or movement on ripple s team or founder, this centralized coin thats  dreamed of becoming one of the banking coin and for the past 2 years there has been no clear progress ...

very smart, that means they can control the prices they want and are not affected by the market or the market cannot influence it. if so, then it's true about the rumor that ripple is centralized.

Exactly! Do you remember when bitcoin started to fall from 6.000 usd towards the bottom 3200 usd? Altcoin market was in the freefall,. but not xrp. Xrp was the only major one that was even increasing in btc value (satoshis). Cuz it's relatively stable in usd.

Yes, I remember and that makes me think to invest more in xrp. Right now, I already invest some money in xrp while I still waiting for it increases back. I am sure that it will increase soon and I think xrp can reach $1 again. Maybe it will happen in the future and the price will still increase and decrease. Every altcoin is waiting for the right time to make a bull run.

 :D

Ok but i must warn you. There is also a bad thing about this. When the crypto market reached the bottom, all major altcoins increased a lot. All of them outperformed xrp. Actually xrp had one of the worst performance from btc bottom until now. Cuz it's relatively stable. Xrp pumps are hard to guess and they are rare, very rare. Xrp holders are still waiting for a major pump to appear, calling it from 2018 till now and it still didn't happen.

Well imo XRP price is kinda controlled by certain parties
Not saying it is fully manipulate by certain party but seems like it is pretty controlled tho

Anyhow, $0.25 to $0.45 or even $1 in 2 year seems pretty possible

The moment when the price of ripple touched $2 will never be repeated again. More people know if this is not a smart coin that offers utility usage to the holders. We got nothing. It's not possible for me and can you tell me about which is the reason that can bring a big value to the ripple in the future? Majority of banks are interesting with the service that already offered by R3.

XRP is more kind of centralized currency and i don't think history will repeat again anytime soon, 2017 was bull run and many big name were promoting xrp that's why it undergo bull ride. Their co founder asset raised to billion  during that small bull run so you can calculate how much they have with them. XRP is doing good job in promoting blockchain payment utility but as far decentralization is concerned i don't think it will get boost similar to other payment coin.

Yes I'm aware that centralized coin can do that but so far it has been one of the few coins that hasn't never moved that much.
Unlike other altcoins that had moved nicely, I have seen XRP not moving along with the other popular coins although it's also a popular.
