Profiling people into one basket such as "atheist", "christian", "muslim", etc. is wrong on so many levels.

Just like every leftie, for example, is different, every blue eye person is different, etc. etc., I could go on for days with examples.

Generalization = SUBoptimal thinking of other people, limiting your view to the point that it's most probably totally invalid, meaning it has no weight.


Also, who made a term "atheists"?

Why do you want to describe a person by ONE personal choice? That's kinda stupid, lol, not to mention wrong.

This pic has a good point and I could probably find more.

POINT: Labeling people based on ONE (or only few) attribute, personal choice or something similar is INCORRECT because it means you don't understand that people have hundreds of "attributes".

Honestly, labeling like that says more about the labeler -.-

I have no idea how, why and how much the climate is changing, but I KNOW this:

cca 25 years ago, we had snow from like mid November to February (Ofc, not the WHOLE time, all the time, but there was a lot of it).

For the last....10 years or so?  If I see snow for more than a week (and that's like 1-3 times per WINTER), I'm shocked

While I despise blackmailing, I do however hope we, the public, get to see the so called documents.
Everyone deserves the truth *shrug*

I used to play poker for a long time.

Tilting (You can call it raging xD) is something that happens to every poker player. Not many get it in check.

Working out BEFORE poker sessions, along with reevaluating my view on poker and accepting variance is simply a part of the game which needs to be accepted, has been one of the major things that made tilting almost impossible.

I would say physical workout helps with removing (or lowering the amount of) "negative thoughts" and actually helps you think more clearly since you're too tired to rage. To put it simply

Well, the whole point of deciding to hodl is that ones believes in what he invested in. Thinking something is a good investment, after research ofc, but in long term (1 or 30 years, no matter, not the point), it is only natural to hodl.

Now, hodling for some other reason? Depends on the reason, but without believing the investment, what kind of an investor are you then? O_o

So, I only recently joined and, what do you know xD, the situation regarding Ripple/XRP (although other things too) is same as other places.
Meaning, so many generic posts, based on nothing but personal oppinion, that is yet again based on....what a surprise....nothing xD

I finally found a good place with several debunked statements like "It's not a real cryptocurrency", "Ripple can flood the market", "Ripple can create more coins", or "Ripple can freeze coins", etc.

https://fudbingo.com/

It's a rather short read for each of the false statements and if you're serious about researching, not just FUDing or shilling, you will want to read it.
Being for or against a coin without really knowing much about it is....silly, to put it very mildly.
(If I did that, I would call myself an idiot, but that's just me xD)


This is a nice, recent, article which shows lots of stuff that happened during Q4 2018 (this is a bit longer read), which can give you a clue of some of the progress.

https://xrpcommunity.blog/q4-2018-xrp-adoption-report-actions-speak-louder-than-words/

Ofc, the whole site is a nice read,  though I will admit I still have a LOT to read xD


If this topic remains (I can't see why it would be removed) and you still talk utter nonsense, just remember: You are.....silly

(No, I'm not affiliated with them and yes, I'm hodling a minor amount of XRP for almost 2 years)

Funny. If you, sir, did your research, you would know that those 60% or so of the coins are in ESCROW using smart contracts.
As such, they are allowed to put 1B out per month, with everything that is NOT sold to be put BACK into escrow pool account.

Since they have at least 55 months for all, it'll take 5+ years for everything to be sold.


In short: they CAN'T dump.

This and everything else has been debunked so many times xD

I've said hundred of times, if you bought XRP and are looking at the price constantly, instead of actual working plan progress, you invested blindly.

Research.

It doesn't matter if it's 2nd, 3rd, 1000th or even before 1st place xD

It needs to keep progressing, keep spreading the "network", increasing users, etc.
Along with regulation that will hit countries sooner or later, if they continue like so far, the plan is working.

At some point, it'll be logical for all their users to use XRP as well, not just their network, which in turn will increase demand (and most likely the price).


Been hodling for almost 2 years, wouldn't be surprised if I need to wait few more for my targets. (I invested a forgetable amount, so it's easy to hodl even for 20+ years).

If you're not ready to do that, you either haven't read about it enough and don't understand or you're too greedy for investing in general.
Most likely, both

That said, we should wait for regulation to hit most of the countries. Then we'll see a more clear crypto market picture, IMHO.

By researching if the coin itself has any value and/or usage other than "If people buy more, it'll go up".

Any and all coins that only exist cause of that have a high chance to heavily drop (doesn't matter in 1 month or 20 years) or die off.

Once regulation hits, and it will, it's going to be one glorious filter xD

60ak%, ali pod smart contracts, tako da NE mogu izbacivati vise od 1B mjesecno.
Onaj dio od tih 1B koje NE prodaju, vraca se u escrow pool od tih 60ak%, te se ne dira dok ne dodju na red (5godina okvirno).

Znaci NE mogu oni dumpati sve, a svi koji misle da bi oni to mogu i zele ocito nista nisu procitali.
No, njihov (potencijalni) gubitak.


Ironicno, bez zelje za vrijedjanjem, maksimalno dobronamjerno cu Vam poruciti: Slabo ste upuceni. Vrlo slabo

EDIT: Ovo vrijedi za sve: Ako ne znas koji je Ripple-ov cilj, ako nisi cuo za Hodora, ako ne znas za escrow, ako ne znas trenutne i potencijalne partnere, ako ne znas za xCurrent i xRapid, itd. itd......Treba researchat, a ne pisati gluposti. Svi forumi vrve blesavim misljenjima baziranih na prakticki nicemu
Smijesno je, pa cak i pomalo zalosno da jedan od rijetkih coina koji pokusava rijesiti PRAVI problem u svijetu (kome se vise da cekati nekoliko dana da pare stignu), da ne kazem uz hrpu ostalih skrivenih i ne toliko skrivenih, potencijalnih namjena, dobiva TOLIKO mrznje

Par rijeci od strane (namjerno zlonamjerno?) nekog u smislu "centralizirani", "banker coin" i masa ovaca se zalijepi na to ko muhe na govno.
Doduse, ljudska vrsta, ne cudi me. Nedaj Boze da se procita malo sam i proba razmisliti i pogledati sa svih strane, te onda donjeti VLASTITU odluku.

Ah, uzalud ja pisem, znam, al moram se "naglas nasmijati" ljudima.

EDIT 2: https://fudbingo.com/

For sure they have a large(r) amount.

What you're referring to is Jed Mccaleb's selling of XRP. He's a former employee (and thank god he is, due to all Mt. Gox shannennigans) who is limited in selling numbers by Ripple itself. It'll take 5+ years to sell all, iirc.

Like I said, everyone needs to do their own research and not blindly believe the first text that seems true

Oh, and...XRP, if you (not you you, everyone in general) read about it, is a long term investment, compared to most of the coins.
IMHO, ofc, don't believe me without research

Hvala na linkovima i odgovoru.

Btw. moram priznat da mi ovo da neki zakon ovisi o misljenju zaposlenog pojedinca zvuci jako skepticno   Ne od strane tebe, vec od drzave.
Uz malo suzdrzavanja, rekao bih "load of crap" a ne zakon ako pojedinac odlucuje

Ne znam mogu li tako nesto ozbiljno shvatiti, pa makar od predsjednika galaksije xD

Mislim da u mom slucaju, s obzirom na jako mali broj transakcija, ako exchange-dva koji su bili koristeni i dalje imaju datume transfera, lako je dokazivo.

Istina, Skrill (ako se nije promijenilo, nisam gledao duze) ima tipa 250€ dnevni limit na bankomatu plus 1000 za placanje putem kartice.
Nisu neke pare, ali ako uzmemi HR prosjek...itekako dovoljno

EDIT: Znaci ovo sa 2 godine cekanja moze i ne mora biti tocno? Hmm, a nista, bit ce jos sluzbenih informacija dok dodje vrijeme isplate, tako da nije bed

True, I don't think we get to see the potential of crypto without regulations. However, if (and most probably when) it happens, potential is yet to be determined (which includes "very high" as well xD)

Which is precisely why I believe that investing forgettable amounts, to name them that, is the key to easy HODL.

19 pages, yet only few say "invest in XRP" and not Ripple.
But, to cut myself in time, I stopped trying to educate people xD

(For the record, I have some XRP and been hodling for 2 years soon.)

But I can't stay completely silent, so:

1) If you say "invest in Ripple", you have NOT read about it and/or do NOT understand enough

2) Just like with any other coin, each should be read about on its own. Meaning every coin and their usage potential could, and probably is, different.

My advice, as objective as I can be, is:

If you REALLY want to understand XRP and what Ripple wants to accomplish, go research, read and look for bad things. Try to find anything that would tell you "ok, maybe this is bad"
I have read for almost 3 weeks straight doing so, but couldn't, so I bought some.

It's more of a long term coin, which you'll probably agree with once you research and realize how grand the plans are. Grand plans take time. And not all have to suceed, ofc.

Just.....READ about it, UNDERSTAND it. Then decide whether to invest or not. Because 19 pages with only 5 posts valid is something scary when you think about it xD
Just imagine someone taking the posts like some that are here as a confirmation whether to buy or not. Makes me shudder xD
