At current stage, all top 10 coins get Down by 15-25%, but only two stands at 7.5% drop XRP and BTC (I would love to remove it, but lets respect contenders), and XRP on 0.1 has less drop than BTC Do you need stronger signs, of significant support?

Yes, but when XRP went down 30% others (BTC, ETH) went up 30% so... it is still underperformer.

But when XRP went up 30% others went down, so others still pretend to be performant!

So Ripple, the company, encourages using XRP, right? Then if this company is having success and many famous banks want to work with it, XRP, the coin should be successful too.

IMO it would be right to say that XRP and Ripple are different things only if there was no connection at all between the two.

Think about it this way:

Ripple holds over 60 billion XRP. Given the way that's being escrowed, Ripple will almost certainly be the largest holder of XRP for the foreseeable future. For every penny the price of XRP goes up, the notional value of Ripple's XRP goes up by six hundred million dollars. Ripple can only materialize that value for its shareholders if that value and liquidity are preserved over the next several years.

Sure, Ripple makes money by selling software to banks. But how many banks do you think Ripple would have to close to make six hundred million dollars in license/support fees? That would equal the value of a sustained one cent increase in the price of XRP.

i thought the tech are given for free.. (O_O)?
if selling to the bank, meaning will also sell the coin off-market too

Its time for Ripple to think to become a ever first crypto bank, with low cost, super fast transactions and no nostro in between. Branches/ATM in all around the world, to buy Fiat/Crypto using XRP!

that's a good alternatives for those who's experiencing issue with this 2 coins or some other coins and xrp really become useful as long as
the traders and investors understand this the value will rise up again while btc will also try to survive.

It depends what you mean by "the tech".

XRP and ILP are open. Anyone can use them however they want.

Ripple also sells software to banks that integrates things like XRP and ILP with banking systems. This handles the parts of the transaction that XRP and ILP don't handle, primarily end-to-end pre-payment messaging and integration with banking systems and processes.

If we had to give it away for free to drive adoption, we probably would have. But charging for it also ensures that we're only working with partners who have a level of commitment.

I think that could be the plan... or more accurately a liquidity provider.

And here we go down XRP has to catch falling ETH and others, be the first ripple be the first LOL You are stable as ....

[Bert65]

Soooo,
   If investing XRP is like pissing in the ocean, then exactly how do we go about putting the money into actual Ripple, before Ripple blows up and goes international? I don't know exactly what or why that exact question regarding investing in Ripple & XRP were possibly 2 separate investments. Ripple being the investment which goes to the moon, & all the investors get rich off of, and XRP being the investment we just get to watch? XRP should be xrp, or it's the digital form of Silver, you want to buy a ton of silver because all the signals show that the price for Silver is boiling over and about to blow wide open yesterday. But, like always has and always will, silver stays right there and you watch it do nothing......

i dont think you can invest in Ripple (yet)
i dont think you can invest in swift,western union , can you?
key dif is, Ripple created a digital asset, faster and cheaper than other currencies, the others have not.
if and when the others do try to, they need to go through the whole process
prototype,roadmap,beta,beta2,alpha and then adoption...this takes a few yrs & Ripple has many patents so it might not be so easy for competitors

also i hear a gd rumour...one thats probably true lol....
something about ( possibly the XRP Ripple hold )  
XRP being backed by precious metals, silver & copper ( if true and officially announced...omg)

man, i am probably a noob but all i can see is XRP is following the BTC dump and blood everywhere on crypto...

Winter is coming papa bear? are we down? lol weak hands shaking! 1 hour latter, back to normal. As was stated, as will be stated - STABLE!

Here is a graph comparing XRP LTC and ETH since June 18th.

[Mrpumperitis]

woaaa...so much happening today..everycoin...so unpredictable
i still think Margin/lending is causing this ..maybe im wrong idk

i am stocking up on a few bargains right now, on a few coins....
some really gd deals on some really gd coins 

[Mrpumperitis]

i love XRP..lol
esp @ times like these..let me explain

lots of coins on sale at dif exchanges...and lots of quick  up and downs and i dont wanna miss some bargains..
i want zcl which is only on trex just now
and i want nmc which is only on polo (or btce..if they listed XRP, id be sending my funds to them..so BTCE,cmon hurry up and list XRP  )
but i have no funds on trex or polo at moment...so what can i do?? times running out...i needa buy asap lol


so...
i have a couple of btc on kraken...i quickly sold them for XRP

i then send half of the XRP to polo and rest to trex..it gets there in under 1minute and costs almost nothing  
i sold the XRP on both exchanges for btc, then grabbed the coins i wanted...
all done in under 5mins  

I love XRP  

[Ucy]

I think the Ripple owner arent interested in pumping the coin beyond .5  .  I hardly consider the coin thisday after the last pump plus it's too centralized for my linking.

[zaemiel]

Today total quantity of cryptocurrencies users is less than 1% from total quantity of internet users.
Let's imagine that total quantity of cryptocurrencies users increased to... mmm... 30%. It means billions of transactions every day.

Will BTC or ETH be able to serve such a quantity of transactions?

How long BTC transaction takes time today (with less then 1% of internet users)? 30 minutes or maybe an hour?
If a transaction fee is low then the transaction will never be ended at all.

And which coin will play it's main role in the cituation?

I think it will be XRP and Ripple protocol, that was designed specifically for banking usage, that assumes billions of transactions every day.

If there was nothing on ripples, those holders would have dumped their tokens right now and wait for the btc to rise up once more. They plan to hold XRP forever seeing most of the fud were said on every corner of this thread. XRP will soon moon and its would be too late to buy 500 XRP with $500.
