Twitter was brutal on the Winklevoss twins ...
That's unfortunate. But, I heard that presentations by Ripple Labs members were well received.   Is there not a Ripple forum? Or do you just need more people to buy your ripple with their bitcoins? Sorry, I was trying to express my sympathy for the Winklevii. There has to be a reason though why you hang out on a bitcoin forum, when really it seems like your interest is in Ripple. Why not discuss ripple with people that are also interested in the same crypto? I slip sometimes. I'm really pro-bitcoin. GO Bitcoin GO, rah rah RAH! See. |

It is interesting how much of an impact market selling or merely flashing an ask of less than 7 days worth of mined coins would likely have on the price. But, I doubt they will be flashed or dumped on an exchange. My guess is otc or gradually through a payment processor like coinbase, which will in turn sell on an exchange. |

Sorry, I must have misread the headline. Didn't realize it had anything to do with Ripple. |

Bitcoin is done for. The experiment has failed.
That is a big exaggeration. The ultimate goal of bitcoin was the development of an e-payment system that did not depend on a trusted authority (including a centralized server). It was not to develop a great investment opportunity, a long-term store of value, a way to hide money from the IRS or your spouse, a way buy illegal drugs or child porn, or a way to drive banks and governments to bankruptcy. It was not even meant to replace credit cards, cash, gold, or old paper checks. Indeed, bitcoin was not even meant to be an e-payment system itself; it was only a technical experiment, meant to prove that a certain protocol could solve ONE particular obstacle in the development of such a system, namely how to motivate volunteers to maintain the blockchain rather than sabotage it. For that experiment to be carried out, all that was needed was an open community or volunteers willing to maintain the network and trade BTC among themselves, plus a few friendly pizza parlors and merchants to make the test more realistic. That, AFAIK, was the bicoin community in 2009; and the experiment would have worked if it had been remained that until now. Ignore him, he is just trolling. Bitcoin as an experiment is a huge success. The question was whether something like this backed by nothing can have actual value, and the answer is a resounding yes. Agree Jorge is trolling, because everything he said is inconsistent with Satoshi's white paper. *edit* No sarcasm intended. Seriously. *2nd edit* Seriously, seriously. *3rd edit* Yup, I re-read white paper 5 times. Proving something backed by nothing can have value is clearly the goal. In fact, I can easily interpret every single paragraph to state this obvious goal. |

Will feel great when investment bankers start pumping.
unless banker think like warren buffet and regard ripple as a blank cheque. (u dont pump on blank cheque right ?) First, I admit to understanding very little of what you said. Second, why not? Buffett: “It’s a mirage basically, it’s a method of transmitting money, it’s a very effective way of transmitting money and you can do it anonymously and all that… a check is a way of transmitting money, too. Are checks worth a whole lot of money?” Thanks for that, but I'm still confused. |

you posted the stats for bitcoin, post the same stats for your beloved twinkle
I'm just perplexed at why you are associating volume with bid depth. Why not point to Ripple's bid depth? *edit* http://www.ripplecharts.com/#/valueUnfortunately, Ripplecharts is bugged and doesn't always show depth accurately. You can check the amount of USD bid depth at a particular address or gateway here: https://ripple.com/graph/Below are the exchange gateways with the most USD: Stamp: rvYAfWj5gh67oV6fW32ZzP3Aw4Eubs59B SnapSwap: rMwjYedjc7qqtKYVLiAccJSmCwih4LnE2q ALSO: All of the fiat sitting on Stamp, off- or on-book, can be instantly withdrawn to its Gateway and therefore is potential Ripple bid depth. SnapSwap has stated they can increase liquidity when needed. Unknown how much is sitting off-Gateway. Probably a lot. You knew what I meant you avoided the question for a reason wow ripple was so awsome [sic], btw how does it feel when you give service to the banking system for free  Will feel great when investment bankers start pumping. |

Stamp is anemic right about now.
That's putting it mildly. Bid depth of almost $25 million late February to $3.5 million today. what is ripple volume like Explain yourself. it doesn't need explaining. you posted the stats for bitcoin, post the same stats for your beloved twinkle Explain how that stat you demand is relevant to what I posted. because i am curious as to how ripple is doing in comparison. clearly it's doing worse or you'd simply post the stats I'm just perplexed at why you are associating volume with bid depth.
