Yes, it should be added. Ripple and XRP will bring a lot of benefit to the Bitcoin community. It is an easy point of entry into the cryptocurrency ecosystem via gateways like Snapswap, Peercover, etc.

Fair enough. Consider that you are drawing comparisons between a 4 year old mature technology with a beta that has been open-source for 1 month. I would not expect to see much action until about a year or 2 into open-source, similar to Bitcoin's start around 2009-2010. Correct me if I am wrong, but isn't he comparing a brand new interface (ATM) with a beta that has been open-source fro 1 month, in that he is comparing how many BTC were traded using each platform? Unless Ripple can roll out their "endpoints" fast (faster than ATMs roll out), they will lose to the ATM, which can effectively do the same thing - provide a means for people to get money into and out of the system. That's true, but remember Bitcoin has its own inherent weaknesses such as needing 6 confirmations to clear - up to 1 hour needed. Ripple could just as easily be bundled into these ATMs and offer the same services. Business owners are often technology-agnostic - whatever is convenient and makes money will be evaluated. If all it takes is 1 more button and a separate sub-screen, I wouldn't rule it out. |

735 BTC in one day = $147,000, yup
That's still more than 7x in one day as the $20,000 stated earlier. Funny math going there. Regardless, it's comparing apples and oranges. |

The day 2 Robocoin ATM turnover in BTC was greater than the whole month of October for the Ripple system.
Is this a joke, or can you show where you got this info? Out of curiousity, I checked Bitcoincharts and it doesn't match up with your claim. Check here: http://bitcoincharts.com/markets/rippleXRP_trades.html |

Far from dead.
There are many big players (very large companies) now actively involved in Ripple and others evaluating it. Large exchanges (apart from Bitstamp) are now looking at the system as well. At the end of the day, people will use the system that is simple and easy for them. Ripple is making rapid progress and they have a lot of momentum going to make this the world's universal payment system for ALL currencies, not just Bitcoin.
Anybody who denies these things is shortsighted and not looking at the big picture of where the world is going. The average Joe doesn't know about or care about Bitcoin, he just wants a cheap and easy way to send money online.

Bitcointalk should block this guy's IP. He keeps returning with new profiles.

1m to go to the highest bidder, or pm for fixed price. Will split in to lots of 100k. Better rates than bitstamp wholesale, xrptrader, and all offers on bitmit.
I'd buy from you but I want to hold and see what XRP rates are after the end of month giveaway. |

I'm now offering 1 BTC for 15,000 XRP. To reputable forum users with previous trades, I am willing to send BTC first.
Did you get 20,000 XRP in the free giveaway? Now is your chance to sell a few!

I'll trade 1500 XRP for 0.1 BTC for anyone who wants to try this amazing new network. This will cover the threshold needed for account activation, plus some to spare for sharing with friends.
If you PM me in the next hour, I can send within a matter of minutes.

Nice to see the XRP chart added! Kudos to bitcoincharts |

Interesting to see there was a bit of a rally in price today after the mass sell-off over the past week. Let's see where it goes next week.
