I put an order on Jan 17. Likewise, not shipped yet and no tracking code received yet.

Mine is 3 days. Dec 9 is a long time though.


Edit: All fine, order received. Pretty fast and secure too.

XRP is very convenient to move funds between exchanges at this moment. This is a very important service on its own. The higher the bulk of these transactions, the higher the price of xrp will become eventually.

The inflation rumors are false. The remaining billions of xrp are locked right now under specific regulations that prevent inflation. Plus, when RIPPLE targets to contest with VISA and in fact presents technology that can compete VISA, then you know that all these billions of coins are in fact drops in the ocean.

Right now, we witness the inflation of BTC once more and this can be proved by looking at the price of the most stable coin versus the dollar recently, which is ripple. 4100 Satoshi when it used to trade for 9000 to 11000.  BTC will drop once again, sooner or later. Ripple price will follow the market cap and this element makes it important as a currency to hold or use on such bubbles. Why use tether? XRP is better. Safer.

Ripple is a controlled currency but this little sense can make right now. There are cryptocoins that are independent and scammy, are these better? At which part of control you have a problem? If you want to go full private, is BTC better? What is the difference? With ripple you can conduct all your transactions fast and get for a final product BTC if you have too.

Especially this last part is what makes BTC strong but also useless. It is used like XRP in the end as people need BTC as it converts to all other cryptocoins. Just like I personally use xrp when I move funds through exchanges. The need to keep BTC though is as important as keeping ripple. With the risk difference being marginally greater for BTC as you are putting your money on a project that has popular approval at one hand but old technology at another.

This is why eventually so many other crypto coins worth it more. The little projects are that worth more than everything. Projects like ZenCash for example. Meanwhile, don't hit ripple, as we still need it more than it needs us.

PS: I only bought some ripple to hold today, after a long time where I kept away.

ZenCash is the most obvious undervalued cryptocoin, hands down. It has a great team and community support behind it. This will shine in the near future.

ZenCash reminds me of BTC early on. Considering that it's technology is better than BTC, I see no reason why this will not be reflected in the market value as well, in the distant future.

When we speak about the future of a coin, the most important factor is the team behind it. Are they crooks? Can you trust them? Do they work? Do they have a plan?
I think that the team behind ZenCash, is right now it's most important strength. An already proven strength (the coin is like 3 weeks old).

On a highly volatile crypto world, where bitcoin at a single week can go from $3000 to $2100, it is important to have good future prospect.

BTC right now, is having these bad news and till August 1st, no one can be too certain.
ZCASH, is taken by JP Morgan. Right...
Ripple, is a whole different case.
ETH seems value for money.

Personally though, I sold them all and invested in ZEN. Because ZEN has an active dev team that has a plan and cares. Because this team managed to overcome a very unfortunate event in little time and move forward stronger than before. Because it is clear that tomorrow, they will still be here and will keep going strong.

Price at the market is not the whole story.

There is trolling everywhere in this topic. Pure Speculation. Like as if the readers are plain stupid. Like as if all those who have put their money on Ripple are just naive kids who have been misled by the evil Ripple devs.

I always recommend Bitstamp.
