I sort of agree with a couple of things although imagine how many people said this during the early days. What i do agree on is Bitcoin and alts have become a way to make money. How many buyers are using it for real world purchases when instead keeping it will most likely make you money. They are all investments or used for day trading to make money. How many coins get pumped and dumped (especially Ripple ) every day just for those to either make a daily wage or turn back into BTC to boost their holdings. 99% want to make money off it, 1% might buy their milk and bread with it, until it becomes as relatively stable as FIAT then thats how it will remain. How far it and others go up and down are part of the fun (or pain).

Kind of ironic how its conception was to replace FIAT and most people are wanting to make a $hitload of money off it instead. would you rather become a millionaire or a cryptonaire? pretty easy answer in this day and age....

Riiight, it will get published soon lol thanks, great answer and no that hasnt been said before but its another to add to the list.

For anyone interested in investing, you will get better answers elsewhere, i already have here - https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1502768.msg18984726#msg18984726 This will now be all i will post, that link, and will make sure it stays relevant instead of pictures and hype to take peoples hard earned money.

I never said they wont, i said they dont have to use it for anything other than transaction fees.  They get a better discount if they use if from A-Z. Do they care about a discount, nope it gets passed to the customer anyway.

Myself and many others have asked for anything showing the banks are going to use or are buying the coin. Pretty simple but apparantly that is a bad thing to ask and we are trolls for doing so. Nothing can be produced and when it cant there is excuses like you guys arent customer support, They wont release that information (best one yet), told we are asking that because we missed out, trying to crash a coin, amongst other reasons. Why is it such a bad question to want to see Evidence, thats right this is a Speculation thread thats why...have asked in other threads since noone in this one can answer the question at all. Worked out its better to ask others that are neutral rather than those that want to hype for their own profits.

What about Ripple, id like your opinion on it as im getting smashed in the Ripple thread - https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1381669.1140 for saying that banks just arent buying XRP for anything other than what they have to (transaction fees). There are many articles about banks using the Ripple protocol but nothing about banks buying mass amount of the coin. The price has risen, its still under 20c but nothing that cant be attributed to normal Alt rise with bitcoin, fee free traading on some sites etc.

Yes i know each Alt thread has people hyping the coins but man these guys are really getting whoever read the thread to buy. They believe it will easily knock Bitcoin off the top spot and the price is going to 'the moon'

Thoughts on it replacing Bitcoin?

Wow great news article, once again another article on the banks using the protocol with no mention of XRP or adopting the coin. You guys are really shooting yourselves in the foot with all these articles of banks using it but no reflection on XRP price but price hypes. If all these banks were going to use it for anything other than transaction fees there would be none left. How are they going to supply all the banks in the world with XRP with the current supply, surely if there is a bank take over they are going to need a lot of it. Simple, none of the banks using it dating back to 2013/14 have bought any massive amount.

Yes please do your own research and remember anyone that asks questions that the believers dont want to hear are trolls, maybe they are the questions people looking to invest should research themselves....

Yup i think at the start of the year i read $3k is the target, its increase yesterday was pretty intense and thought it was going to not stop until it hit $2k but it took a tumble.

I dont think there is a coin that isnt volatile at the moment. The Ripple thread is a good laugh https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1381669.1140 These guys are adamit its going to the moon because banks are going to buy all of it, because we all know banks to buy crypto and buy a volatile coin such as ripple lol Banks are buying into the ripple protocol not the coin.

FIAT to a degree is fairly stable, coins are not at this stage. Bitcoin was heading to $2k but then a major dip

That is unfortunately what many have asked and unfortunately they havent been able to show anything to suggest they will for anything more than transaction fees. Banks have been playing with ripple for years and there has been no major buys so you can draw your own conclusion on that one...

Yes google are invested in the company Ripple, XRP is an offset of that. The money and time is in the protocol, not hedging their bets on the coin.

Read from a few pages back, its a good read, some laughs. Expect to be pumped up by pictures and those looking to benefit from your buy. What is funny today is BTC is down and thats when XRP usually has a spurt, its still lower than yesterday, the day before that and the day before that.... people are pumping other alts instead to get some more money for the next BTC rise... not even i expected the pump and dump coin to have no action on that one, been waiting for it to pump and people beat their chest over it being the news that it is now trying to become like other cryptos. Hang on if it was going to be number 1 why are they needing to do that again when its already so rock solid lol

be careful not to buy into the hype!

Yup sure did, infact its hard to know which news means more, the poop in my pants or the one posted. Should have finished the news with 'but will still never be as valuable as BTC and like BTC will never be bought by the banks...'

Wow what a spike due to that news! oops wait a minute, still lower than yesterday. Hmm maybe try no news guys as that seems to be working for coins worth well over $1 and close to $100 with no news at all. You guys are pumping news daily and the coins arent even 20c let alone $1 lol

Hype Hype Hype guys! Hopefully the smart ones are seeing that all you are doing is profiting from them. XRP to da MOOOON!!!

Yay! there it is! the admission all the hype is nothing but speculation! hope all read that one. Funny that, you can post every link and news under the sun about banks and the the protocol and conferences but when someone asks if you have one about a bank using XRP for more than transaction fees you arent customer support and we are a pest.

P.s i give more money than what ripple is worth to bums on the street so i aint mad about your under 20c coin lol

wow its like arguing with toddlers, cant provide one bit of evidence to have a proper debate besides research yourself, read back 50 pages on our 'discussion' and they would never tell us if banks bought XRP. yup i lost big on XRP, man it hurts   peace out and thanks for the stimulating debate Mr PUMP

Yup, been happening for awhile. Its the natural rise of alts along with BTC as others get excited as they see an alt grow, they buy some, it dumps but the mainstream buyers dont sell so it doesnt completely drop. Its not unfortunately news of a conference or banks buying big. It tends to happen with the cheaper alts as there is less loss for those dumping if they are not the first to do so. Like i said everyone benefits but any alt buyer can to by riding it with them (only if you trade).

Ive been quite clear on how i like what Ripple has done and all ive asked to do is be shown some XRP buying news. In doing so im negative and a troll. People looking to buy have a right to hear some other sides and it would be wrong for them not to ask the same, its their hard earned dollars. Even said if you can show me that news ill join the XRP bandwagon for more than just pumping...

Oh and 'g' i didnt say sell at the bottom of a dip genius, a dip is a curve going down unless you have some scientific way to pick the exact start of a dip. it has a start and an end. Unfortunately you look like a fool for not realising it and making daily money. What you think its just one guy pumping your alts and then dropping them? nope others are riding the wave up, and the DIP down.

Not sure what ive been asked but i have provided plenty of facts and its you guys that cant provide anything other than hope. SHOW US SOME XRP BUY NEWS!!!

Look at the BTC chart and look at the XRP chart and tell me how you can not see what is really going on. The smart trader will be selling on the XRP dip, buying into BTC as it shoots over 1900 today, then convert it back for more XRP. i advised that yesterday as well and you guys could have benefited by more XRP if you wish. Its exactly how Bitcoiners are benefiting from you so do it back to them.

And its begun! watch the silver sovereign soar now. Just bought more at $29! thanks for the link 

Wasnt going to bother with this thread but good to see others have the exact same questions. The 'trolls'(anyone with a negative view on your beloved coin) are right. Shut us up by showing some news that a bank is buying and stocking XRP. pages of 'duiscussion' are not that.

And to say we wouldnt hear about it is laughable and is the funniest excuse ive heard (besides polo crashes). They will most certainly make sure you hear about it as it will cause the coin to boom. Lets not forget marketing geniuses google are in on this to. Its simple Ripple labs were smart enough to produces an awesome piece of Fintech to do with the crypto space that allows them to make money off the trechnology and some small profit off cryptos, thats what they have been able to achieve and its Brilliant! No ones denying that and its why i admire Ripple.

Its well known that banks want nothing to do with the crypto space as their money and control is in FIAT. So now why would they all of a sudden buy into this coin for anything other than transaction fees. Simple, again, Ripple allows them to benefit of the PROTOCOL without disrupting their bread and butter.

Its good to see others arent blind but unfortunately its a lost cause. IF you are a non believer you are wrong and a troll, your comments will quickly go back pages, covered up by pictures and news of conferences to ensure the hype men suck in the blind. And especially listened to the guy that predicted the rise of ETH and even the natural rise of alts lol im sure every one that bought ETH read it from Mr Pump instead of simply reading news. Funny how i benefited and i never got advice from Pumps crystal ball....

In other news, bitcoin dips, bitcoiners pump alts, resupply and buy back into BTC on the rise. If you cant see that trend and benefit from that then just believe its a XRP boom!

Edit: and on queue, look at that, the reds starting to appear on XRP as the greens are appearing on BTC. Thanks for lending me that crystal ball Ripplers

Thats why its a solid buy now, starting to build up again now and it will go higher than the $36 it did in the last 24hours in its next momentum build

lol man you are both wrong if thats what you believe and are selling to pump the coin here. The ONLY thing banks NEED XRP for is transaction fees, thats it! thats why you havent seen any information about banks stocking up on XRP only using the protocol. Show me some news they are, that was all i asked many posts ago and i wouldnt have even continued here.

Yup im one guy trying to crash XRP, next im going to crash bitcoin. Maybe i should have a username called crash since people knowingly take advice from someone that calls themself PUMPERITIS and dont think they are being played....

Have fun ripplers, im not going to predict the future, wish i could like others here but be careful what you read, RESEARCH YOURSELF (protocol does not mean coin adoption).....enjoy the rise up with the rest of the alts

Oh and to the moon! lol

lol your not predicting anything but the rise of alts across the board, you could of done that in any of the alt threads and then beat your chest today saying you predicted the future. ALL Alts are growing, simple. It is the year of major growth for them and bitcoin as more catch on. Im sorry but your just not convincing me you can predict anything else but what anyone else has, if you could you wouldnt be here, you would have bought bitcoin at $1, won the lotto, could tell uis what Trump is going to do next. In fact you would have just sold everything and put it on XRP like some people have with BTC.

You still havent shown any evidence banks are using XRP for anything other than fees and the protocol. You have shown one article saying they will get a bigger discount if they do, banks wont mess around with a volatile coin just to get discounts that they dont pay anyway, the customer does. Show me that and i will join your pump campaign  

P.s the smart trader would have put their XRP into BTC earlier, going to almost $100 more than 24hours ago, then put it back into XRP when it stops crashing. Thats an easy prediction that is happening in front of you today, not its crystal ball year market cap.

Just took a look and have to agree with you there. Way more sellers than buyers! She going DOWN DOWN DOWN and that could be a lot before the speculated pump in 10 days time.

By the way if you believe crypto will replace Fiat wouldn't you want the price to stay down so you can accumulate and store for as long as you can. The only reason people want coins to go to the moon is to make money off it. the lower it stays the more chance you have of being a Cryptonaire, the higher it goes you become a millionaire...that's why no one is buying their milk with bitcoins

That right there is the natural progression of the alts (well most of the decent ones anyway). Of course its not going to drop to where it started after a pump. as the whales take it up, others get excited and buy on the way up to. Only the whales dump, not everyone, some get scared and manage to dump before it reaches their buy price and others have t stay in which means the price doesn't completely drop. Pretty simple.

I was more keen to hear differences in my opinion (and it seems others) on the usage of the coin itself from banks that would make me think otherwise.

None of the trains will stop but my guess is you have money in other coins to. If we all believed the hype then all our money would go into it as if its going to shoot that far then why wouldn't you. We play around with those still in the affordable range in the hopes they will. Kind of ironic in the end we want to make lots of money out of cryptos, not lots of cryptos out of cryptos lol but good luck to us all I say
