Buying XRP

[danyy]

why waste good money, if they still need to release billions of XRP?

I think the logic is that XRP will still rise in value, they are releasing in a linear fashion so its likely demand will eventually outpace supply and the price will rise, also if they gave all the XRP away it will even out at 14 XRP per person in the whole world, so the free stash they gave us makes us feel a little richer and gives XRP value.

I personally think XRP is a stealth currency designed to compete with Bitcoin and create billions in wealth for the founders and venture capitalists that invested in Opencoin. But my opinions about these things are always overly dramatic.

I tought this before but its not very realistic... using this scheme, having all the 21 million bitcoins , divided into the world people, each person would have only 0.0035 bitcoins, today there are only 11 million , 0.0015 per person, so using your scheme each bitcoin would cost a million dollars...

I don't see it that way. If you own any significant amount XRP today, and Ripple is truly successful, you will make big money. This is how it shakes out no matter how you look at the numbers.

Not necessarily...not when they dump 50 billion xrp onto the market.  It could be successful as a currency but not as an investment or speculative vehicle.

There are 11 million bitcoins and something like 100 billion xrp..do the math.

Also look at the current order book in ripple.com.  There is about 4x the amount of sellers as buyers on the first page of the order book at reasonable prices... $13,000 vs $3500.

Anyway I'm paying about 25% more for XRP: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=176060.msg1837784#msg1837784

This post is from 2013 so I would suggest you look at the relevancy of threads before commenting on them. This grave digs an old and irrelevant post and makes you look like a spammer or a total noob.

If somebody is reading this, please don't continue to post on this dead thread.

At a moment XRP 50 cents looks good deal i would sell it on its own previous high 2.5$ 5 times profits i got over 23k!

[saras008]

results for the s with a capital that is not how I chose the ripple. This coin is a small but very nice for the future especially endorsed by the increasingly advanced technology.

[rucapri0]

It's better not to buy Ripple at all. Unpromising currency. For all of its existence, such a small price

[fonyo]

I consider the system is that XRP disposition allay rise in valuation, they are emotional in a track fashion so its apt proudness disposition yet outpace attempt and the signal disposition rise

Spend half the bitcoin on this coin. I think that the other half of bitcoin will benefit you more than ripple) The market does not let it growth at all 

[Serveev]

I don't think xrp is the best buy. There are many other good coins. But I also bought but not a lot of 100 coins. But if you want to buy, then buy in the amount of 0.5 bitcoin.

[Bitcoin_Speculator]

Ripple is the evolution of a concept that pre-dates bitcoin, and has arisen in part due to the hard work of some of the earliest bitcoiners. It is very reliable coin

You can buy XRP in crypto market. Now price is very low if you want to buy this coin after few days or few month you can get  more money from this coin. I have also buy some XRP hold in this year if the crypto market will grow then i will sell.

Compared to the time you created the article in 2013, the current XRP is very potential crypto, XRP now is top 3 cryptos. And if this time if you read my reply and still want to invest in XRP then I suggest you invest 0.5 BTC because experience shows that do not put all your eggs in one basket. I recommend investing 0.5 BTC in XRP and 0.5 BTC in ETH.

[ozm0823]

I would never buy XRP. I know a lot of people who lost so much money with XRP. I just don't believe it. It is just a waste of time and money on this project.

[frostmourne0311]

I think you should buy it with 0.5 BTC and use the remaining to buy another coin, don't put all eggs in one basket!

[Fatman861]

I like everything in this coin, except that it is not decentralized! I think that it's dangerous to invest big money in non-decentralized coins, as such investment looks like as a casino! IMHO

Buying 60,000 XRP for 1 BTC or 30,000 for 0.5 BTC

Ripple price is now $0.48 that means you can buy 15,480 XRP for 1 BTC. But i suggest not to buy that much altcoin at the moment.

[kworrom]

I have already told a hundred times to different traders and investors - do not exchange your bitcoins for other alts and shitcoins. This is foolish and in the future you will regret that you did it.

Specially when bitcoin is bullish and people are in fomo for only btc , we are facing same thing right now . mostly people dumping alts for btc as people are expecting ETF . alts may dump more .
However i will not suggest anyone to completely avoid all the alts because alts need just momentum to give you highest return because of less marketcap . but never ever invest in shit alts .

I think it depends on you if you want all in to XRP then you should be able to apply long-term trading because XRP price increase is very long and you better buy some of it after that you share it to buy other coin.
