that you can relax and just wait- say for an year at most... (perhaps within few months ). You don't even have to depend on trading and exchanges that much for 1 USD. If ripple successfully moved even 5% of global Swift remittance movement ( 300 billion ) - to make ti possible in smooth manner and use XRP collateral on RC Cloud XRP will have to be between 2 to 3 USD.

if its not, market participants will get greedy to grab the XRP bandwidth ( for ability to remit more then their share ) and it will shoot up even more :-)

So at this point, ripple XRP's evaluation to 3 USD is a given in my books and also as per some other financial people's opinion ( who are much more wise, old and smarter then myself ) . It is just matter of time, as projects go live and one aftr the other operations kick off.

i completely stopped worrying about exchanges and trading. I just have my XRP in cold wallet on my usb drive and will take it out when it is 1 USD and beyond and start averaging down all the way till 3 or 4 USD.
Good luck.

I've found that it puts too much psychological stress having different entry orders because I have to keep track of all of them. I like to have a single price to worry about and going all in at a pretty conservative price can work out. My buy order right now is set at 0.0143. Im hoping that we will retest 0.0131 for a double dip then a recovery where I would sell at around 0.0165 before I decide if I want to keep holding this or not because I fear a big dump before long term recovery.

And your post contains?? What? What about MtGox? It failed. BTC crashed for a few days and recovered and continued on it's way with it's slow inevitable decline to where it "should" have been given natural growth as opposed "to the moon investors".

LTC dropping back down to some low level is not it's failing. That's simply the way it in this space. Coins have no real value. There's no assets backing them up. There's no quarterly reports of earnings. Absolutely nothing. The nearest thing you can get to in terms of it's core "value", is some number that results in a reasonable profit for miners.

2014 BTC hit almost $1200. By 2015 it had dropped all the way down to around $200 and it stayed pretty flat for all of 2015. Miners were making a profit, everyone was "happy" (well as much as they can be when they're not able to dream of 10x profits). When the halving came along, the coin started creeping up a few months prior to that. So the new "floor" is probably in the $400-$500 range. Look at where BTC is right now? If/when BTC starts it's correction and starts heading that way again, no one that "gets it" is going to say BTC is failing. It's just going back to where it "should" be.

I seriously don't think it can be overstated the damage that litecoin failing would do to the legitimacy of this space to newer casual investors.


What the hell do I know....

It will easily hit $50 then possibly $100 but I think $50 is a relatively sure bet.

I think BTC will retrace a bit as people take profits and it will lift LTC.

LTC is good for recruitment to crypto, I think it's important for the scene that it succeeds. There are $50 LTC hodlers from years back who deserve to be rewarded for their bravery and patience. 

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.

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, 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.

Why are you limiting yourself on Europe?
There are countless offshore Banks where you can deposit up to 200k without having to care about taxes and such.
The thing is, if you want to use your profits to invest in something else then yeah you really have to get them taxed
so you can justify their existence. If you're looking that way, a "fundraising via bitcoin" would be a nice option if you
know what I mean, from there and on I don't think you're going to get taxed for your active capital.

The Isle of Man has not capital gains tax but its rather cold 

when talking about bitcoin profit taxes, which is usually paid by private people, not companies, it might be better to look for a country where there is no tax on bitcoin profits at all.

I heard Denmark has no tax on it and Netherlands only 5%.
But I can not confirm this, only rumors.

It's just a pre segwit bull run and when the time comes of activation of segwit there will be a bearish market and it's the same as of the lauch of other altcoins on exchanges which hosts IOU tokens, once the time of their release comes nearby, the price of IOU tokens increase and then after launch they get dumped to death.

LTC is crashing right now. It will reach $50 eventually but im staying out for the time being until it bottoms and the price calms. I hope to be able to buy a good amount for cheap in the following days after chart flatens out a bit, hoping it doesnt go to moon overnight.

not lag issues...im talking about withdraw issues

Vsyc...when users cant withdraw their own money for weeks...and get banned for asking in troll box because the support isnt responding..thats wrong and someone has to tell Polo to fix the problem...
it took us yrs to recover from gox, polo shouldve learnt from their mistakes.
A few months before craptsy shut and stole everyones funds..people had same problem, they could put coins in but couldnt withdraw...

The lag and server issue is different and i do agree with your points on them.

mirai the polo mod has given day bans to many people that ask about access to their funds...he should be helping not shutting out people that have hundreds of thousands of dollars on their exchange...
