Please specify a price that you think is a bubble. SInce no price is evident there seems no way to begin to guess what you even refer to.

There is virtually no intrinsic value in a totally pre-mined currency. All they can do is hope to talk up the price but, that's all it is, talk. Ripple is not a mined coin like bitcoin, it's more like a blank unsigned check in a check book, which is just a piece of paper. At least the paper came from a tree, ripple doesn't even have that much value.

Talking about the price right now which is around 1$=50xrp Okay now re-phrase that as X number of transactions = $1 and compare it to other transaction systems... -MarkM-

Bad argument. Bad thread ripple is a loan it is an an intangible debt on an intangible asset. its a derivative and as a derivative the only worth it has is what people say it has until it is worthless. at least bitcoin has value in that there was a cost in mining it (electricity, hardware). derivatives are made up out of thin air.

For Market Cap one only counts released XRP.
1.5 billion x $0.018 = $27 million market cap in Beta
At 2% of Bitcoin market cap... Ripple Beta is probably undervalued.

How many billionths of a Ripple does a transaction cost? If that is massively more than it takes to keep people from spamming the system with transactions, yes it is a bubble. If it is low enough that spamming is cost-effective, then no it is not a bubble and in fact they should cost more (per transaction, not necessarily per ripple). -MarkM-

I noticed a lot of new comer argue that it very much is the point. you asked if it is a bubble. a derivative is a bubble in that it leverages the underlying asset. most newcomers don't understand that.

How this is related to spamming cost The purported rationale for the existence of ripples is as an anti-spam measure. Thus if they are too cheap to convince people not to spend them on spamming they are not in a bubble, but if they cost more than is needed to keep people from blowing them on spamming then maybe a bubble might be in progress. Or they lied about the real reason for them existing, and anti spam measure is just yet another excuse for spawning yet another scamcoin. -MarkM-

Same thing.. and you can have some bubble effect like in it bubble in 2001 that's not the point... I noticed a lot of new comer argue that it very much is the point. you asked if it is a bubble. a derivative is a bubble in that it leverages the underlying asset. most newcomers don't understand that.

I don't get it.

incorrect. bitcoin generation has a cost to generate revenue. if the costs exceed revenue miners leave the market until costs are inline with revenue. that is a cots to generate.
a miner is not going to sell 1 bitcoin that cost him $100 in electricity for $50. That would be a loss.
Tell me how much it cost to produce 1 ripple?
