Ripple's XRP Token Sets All-Time Price High Above $3

[bbc.reporter]

Maybe some of us made the mistake of listening to the libertarians and the bitcoin maximalists by avoiding Ripple XRP because they say it is centralized, a banker's coin and not a true cryptocoin. I am feeling some regret for giving in to my idealistic side and invested in community true coins like Monero and Aeon. I know the engineering behind them is more superior, but sometimes thinking about the money I could have made in XRP is making me hate myself.



Just two weeks after it surpassed $1 for the first time, the price of XRP, the token that powers San Francisco startup Ripple's open-source RippleNet network, has set a new all-time high of $3.

According to data site CoinMarketCap, XRP has climbed more than 21% in the last 24 hours, hitting a price of $3 just after 17:00 UTC today. Ripple’s rally comes after hitting a temporary low of $2 immediately following its previous all-time-high of $2.85 on Dec. 30, 2017, according to CoinMarketCap.

Still, XRP is up 144 percent on the week, and more than 1,000 percent month over month. The cryptocurrency was trading at $0.26 just over 30 days ago. With the change, XRP is also bringing a shake-up to the leaderboard of the most valuable cryptocurrencies.

At press time, XRP has heavily increased its lead over ethereum, long the second-largest cryptocurrency by market cap. While just 24 hours ago Ripple had a $17 billion lead, that figure has now increased to $26 billion. Ripple passed ethereum in market cap less than a week ago, and has been holding the number three spot on Dec. 29, 2017.

As Ripple has climbed, so too has the overall cryptocurrency market, with the total market cap surpassing $713 billion just a day after it climbed past $667 billion.

On the day's trading, 15 of the top 20 cryptocurrencies by market cap are in the green, with ethereum classic, Qtum, EOS, iota and bitcoin offshoot litecoin being the notable exceptions.

lol post something sensible for once can you

you've been here long enough to know most of the top 10 are manipulated dog shit with dreadful initial distribution probably none as bad as ripple except for dash

they have no place next to real decentralised trustless crypto

only noobs would still consider piling into those

ripples gains are nothing to some other real projects you could have invested in during that same time.

what about if you bought

pivx at 300sats
bitbay at 18 sats
verge at 4 sats
xby at 50 sats
xrb for doing a few captures
nem stake for saying hello on the thread


they shit in the face of ripple gains over the last year or 2

that's just a few i remember off the top of my head in recent times

ripple is nothing special except it has worse initial distribution than 99% of projects on here.

it can go to 2 x btc cap if they want it too so what it means nothing.

you would need rocks in your head to buy that crap from here on when there are so many real good opportunities with real development teams

people getting all excited over some fake manipulated numbers and comparing them to real decentralised projects lol

If you are upset about missing those ripple gains you must be screaming about just the few I listed here above and there are many many more other real projects with magnitudes larger gains than ripple

@cryptohunter. No, I have always been idealistic. That is why I am an ardent supporter of Aeon. But in the beginning of my cryptocarrer, would you believe that I was holding almost 500k XRP at one time, investing a large portion of my savings in it?

I know it is my greed that is kicking me and laughing at me now. But sometimes I wish I just kept the XRP in cold storage and avoided learning about the cryptospace.

Ah then i know the pain you experience. I too have had many such bad moves.

I was a nem stake holder who though a few humble btc was a great catch for free. That stake now is worth about 3.5 million usd

Who would think for saying hi on a forum you could get such returns as 3.5million usd.

Never look back at such moves it is better to look forward.

it's not too late, ripple will easily go $10.

Should I buy more? I'm in a quandary!!!

Hehe, I remember those days when NEM was traded only on the NXT asset exchange. How I wish I also invested in it, stored it and forgot about it. But in all honestly I thought it was a scam at that time. Who knew that they had a dedicated development team.

@invest2lose. Your name checks out hehehe.

I only know that majority of bankers will be using ripple, And i don't see any advantage of use ripple rather than that gives me a possible thing to send my transaction fast than bitcoin with only 3 seconds block processing.
So, can you tell me why? Inter-bankers payment processors look real.

[p3ppymon]

The use of ripple is a viable solutions for fast and cheaper way to transfer money and make transaction. However, due to the circulating amount, it is quite difficult to go quite high in value. The recent growth might be unsustainable long term.
