If I were you I'd head over there personally and read up. You seem to speak things as "facts" and don't really seem to be connected to what's going on. I get that we are doing alot of speculation but my involvement in those forums has allowed me to make the speculations I am standing on. Your mileage may vary. www.Ripple.com/forumAcually I know the ripple forum and did receive also their letter about giveaway but I was betting more on 50 000 people. But I'll dig into this forum. 10 000 people is not a lot.... Cool...no it's not but even 50k isn't in the grand scheme of things. As I said, it could be a guesstimate from the ledger as I'm sure no one knows for sure but opencoin, how many signed up for the newsletter, unless it was someone at OpenCoin who said it. Honestly don't remember. Anyway, thanks for the dialog.  |

I don't think its value will be linked to bitcoin in the future you need to think about $ not BTC that's smarter
What if I don't live in the US? LOL -_- I don't live in us either that's not the problem .... Indeed. $ is the problem. That's why I'm not linking anything to $. |

What if I think $0 but don't think it is a scam? Or, extremely low. I don't know though.
I don't quite understand ripple. If they are supposed to be a method of exchange, then the XRPs should be invisible to the users. Users should never be able to "hold" XRPs. Users should instead hold other currencies only and exchange.
I also disagree with it being "easy to use." It took me about 10 minutes to figure out how to link to an exchange and make an exchange and transaction. And I had to test it with a small amount first because I wasn't quite sure what was going on. If it took me 10 minutes, most people's grandmothers will never figure it out. This is not "easy."
I am probably not understanding how Ripple is supposed to work. I have been told it is an exchange and XRPs are supposed to act as the "go-between" but frankly, with everything in software, why does there need to be a "go-between?" It just ends up being another currency you have to deal with during the exchange.

Ripple is what those who are very negative to Bitcoin but doesn't understand it claims Bitcoin is. It is centralized, and all the currency is pre-mined and has to be bought. Ripple is Bitcoin for suckers.

Ripple will trade at about 50k to the btc once more are released in the wild. There's very little free float right now.
This will give it a market cap of about 20% btc which is fairish for something 3 years younger.
Give or take.
Ripple has the potential to be bigger than bitcoin, but it's untested so far so that would be premature.
However I expect bitcoin to be stronger than the dollar too. If spain goes pop, btc could be trading over 500

I think the Ripple Revolution will occur, Ripples will be worth 100 XRP/1 BTC in a year's time. They said it couldn't happen with Bitcoin, but it did. No reason it can't happen again.

XRP's are going to plummet in value as the 50 billion in XRP's are released. I'm speculating in excess of 100,000 XRP / 1BTC, as it was just a month or two ago. It will eventually pull back over time but to think it's even going to be triple digits / 1BTC just defies logic. 50 BILLION XRP's!!
Not necessarily, if it is used heavily in the trade, while Bitcoin is used only for speculative purposes. |

i see ripple like the value of a postage stamp, a transport service valued anywhere between 5c to $5. Once it has a framework to exist in, if it becomes the preferred method of transferring currency (any), it will be very exciting.
I am definitely watching this space but it's not a crypto currency.
