Ripple - Why is the value not higher with all it's features.

[ThomasRozinski]

Hi,

I just kinda had a quick question and wanted to see what everybody thought.  My main question as the title states;  Why is Ripple or XPR not worth more or why is the value not higher?  With all of the possibilities it can offer and potential it has,  I would think it would be one of the most valued coins.  If you don't know what Ripple has to off, just go to their website and it explains it perfectly.  I don't wanna take up your time attempting to explain it all, and they can do it much better than myself. 

Anyway, the only guesses I can somewhat come up with are,

• It hasn't caught on yet.
• It isn't worth a lot now but will be in the future
• They don't have a very good wallet or hardly any choices for wallets

But that's really all I can think of why it's not worth very much.  But these things can be overcame fairly easily.  Especially with everything Ripple has to offer.  But I would like to hear from the community any answer and insight is greatly appreciated.

Thank You![/size]

My main question as the title states;  Why is Ripple or XPR not worth more or why is the value not higher?

XRP total supply = 100,000,000,000
BTC total supply = 21,000,000

see where i'm going?

edit: i am very long on xrp though.

Because:

1. Ripple is a private company
2. It is centralized
3. Ripple is not XRP, therefore the partnerships between ripple and the banks doesn't affect XRP much if at all. XRP is a playtoy ripple threw at the speculators to make money

xrp broke $0.01!

yes, i'm excited

Yes, likely they are pumping it up in preparation of flooding the market with another 1.4 billion ripple.

Ripple tokens available on the market as of December 25th 2016 = 36,003,596,482

Ripple tokens available on the marker as of today = 37,388,960,792

That's 1,385,364,310 or almost 1.4 billion more tokens. Likely at current rate of release another 1.4 billion tokens will be released by July. At today's price that represents a little over $14,375,000 US for the 1.4 billion tokens. Or if they continue to be released at the same rate approximately $57,500,000 US for 2017. Not bad for something created virtually out of thin air. I wonder how deep the pockets of the gullible are. The efforts being put into pumping the token suggests a large release of tokens is imminent. The ripple team is really going to enjoy their summer at the public's expense.

Use to support Ripple when I'm just a newbie and just stating out in the crypto currency,but after comparing it to bitcoin and other popular crypto currency I found out it's not decentralized and they hold huge premine I got out of supporting it,the only thing that keeps them goin gis they have a great group of devcelopers and marketers..

This is a great point and nice analysis.

However, there are ppl out there that have been buying millions of xrp for the last 3 or 4 years at the price between $0.005 and $0.01.

They are in the green now so the decision on what to do is theirs.

I find it bullish that ripple sells/loans XRP at the rate of hundreds of millions per month at or around the current exchange rate.

But some ppl aren't here to grow their wealth but rather be FUD philanthropist.

the same reason why Dogecoin is not worth more, the same reason why Ethereum will never go higher than certain price levels when the distribution of the ICO happens fairly and whales don't control 90% of the supply.

it is all about a very simple rule of supply and demand the demand of altcoins will always be inferior and there is nothing to change that. and when the supply is huge there will always be coins available for people to buy without making the price go up.

to put simple when something is scarce it becomes valuable, if you could find Gold grow on trees the value of it would be close to nothing.

[Estherth]

Because it is centralized

Panda poop is scarce, but I don't know if it is valuable.

[btbrae]

Cause they dun goofed the whole distribution model and ended up looking like a bunch of greedy bastards which is what they are. Nobody wants to be part of that.

[Ayers]

Because it is centralized

and a scam i'll never get tired to repeat this, but ripple can increase their supply when they want, it can't go any higher, the inflation is ridiculous high already, and they use the money to pay their insider

[jackryderd]

Because of supply .
RIPPLE does not reflects it's price due to supply + premine + on margin so always lots of sell pressure

[Rysii]

I'm neither pro or anti ripple, but just 10 mins of research debunks all the bullshit opinions by ignorant individuals in this topic labeled as 'facts'.

[pugman]

same can be said about bitbay! it has the most advanced features and wallet and getting a rollin gpeg in winter. It should have a MK of $50m not $3m
