meanwhile, Ripple at ATH right? wow

Relax, its only up a couple percent the last 24 hours...

its obvious that ripple is manipulated by teh banks... banks are not allowed to manipulate anything else these days

The ATH is actually $0.10 this time last year for a second.  The banks are putting money in the network right now bringing more liquidity.  However, I wouldn't say the banks are speculating XRP or buying more than 100 which is all they need to trade for a long time.

If even banks only need so few XRP, then why did Ripple make the supply so huge? I remember when there was a 40k XRP per member giveaway on this forum. What is the point of having so many XRP available?

I remember selling my free XRP for about $2000 last year

Damn, i think thats the most ive heard from the free xrp giveaway, you sold at the right time, prices wont be like that for a long time.

Ripple Labs treated you well...

Should I start mining Ripple? How much of it was pre-mined? I'm not going to consider it if over 10% was pre-mined.

100%

Ahh nice, so 100% was not pre-mined?

It's not even mined. It made out of thin air like fiat.

Correct but its math based and the 100 billion created at start is all that will be made.  Also, XRP's are destroyed with every transaction so people think of that as its own way of mining...

first there was 50Billion XRP, then one day poeple woke up and found that there was 100Billion XRP.

because magic.

Nah, the protocol started with 100Billion from the start.  Maybe people were refused on how much was allocated at the beginning.  Like for example, Jed, Chris and Arthur might of received 20 billion, Ripple labs might of received 25 billion, and the rest was put in many of accounts with ideas on how to distribute the remaining 55 billion.

no.

Ripple sounds like such a shitty currency that it makes me want to go on their forums and spend all day telling them how much I think they are wrong for using it.

Then again, that would be such a waste of my life and I would have to be the biggest loser in the world to go on the forum of a currency I do not like and post on and on about how people should not be using that currency.

That would be about the stupidest thing someone could do. Such a waste of life. How much of a loser would you have to be to do something like that.

No, I will leave the Ripple users to their lives. If they like it, it's all them.

That makes Brenton Woods sound like a tea party.

Here's your new currency. We own it all but if you do our bidding we will grace you with a few.

Yea I totally understand what you mean.... However, atleast now, Chris Larsen says he will donate his whole 7 billion to the underbanked.
https://www.cryptocoinsnews.com/ripple-ceo-chris-larsen-to-donate-7-billion-xrp-to-the-underbanked/

 Arthur has some kind of agreement as well, Jed is the rogue millionaire selling $10,000.00 a week till like next August and then selling $20,000.00 a week for the next year after that and way more the year after that in a sick lockup agreement.

yes then they will create another 50Billion XRP to fund more "underbanked" poeple.

They might use that unallocated additional 50 billion they have to fund more "underbanked" people but 100 billion is all that will be created. The want to distribute the XRP to whatever gives them most liquidity and utility.

Yea, I'm gonna feel fucking played if ripple were to take over.

It doesn't matter what currency is the better one. What matters is what the mass population thinks is the better one. And unfortunately, I don't have alot of faith in the mass pop.

However, I do think that ripple is so stupid that even the average joe might discourage it...

Ripple Lab's founders and employees who created ripple were the ones having fun in bitcoin from 2010 to present. Ripple fixes a few things at the same time rubs people the wrong way.  I can spend my bitcoin at the store with my ripple wallet and the transaction will clear fast just like a credit card.

ripple has gone parabolic. because magic.

Even Doge was a better flavor of the month week.

At least Doge was decentralized. Even though it has a cap of several trillion doges.

F*** Ripple, it's a BTC Forum

[adamstgBit]

Why can't one hold their BTC in ripple for faster and safer transactions?  Who cares about XRP?

 Arthur has some kind of agreement as well, Jed is the rogue millionaire selling $10,000.00 a week till like next August and then selling $20,000.00 a week for the next year after that and way more the year after that in a sick lockup agreement.

Jed is bound to his 10.000 limit for the first two years. After that it rises to 20.000 for the third and fourth year. After that he basically do what he wishes, but Ripple will likely succeed even before he reaches the 20.000 limit. Jed is of no concern: why would he unload all his XRP (and take on all the legal trouble, because he's bound to not sell) while denying himself the chance to become a multimillionaire/ billionaire? Jed never finishes what he starts, he might be slightly unstable from time to time, but even he is not as retarded to make such a move.
