Buying ripple coins worth it?

Should I buy some ripple coins now? Is it worth it?

I heard it was pre-mined and it is not decentralized... it's a bad thing right?

Good question! The dynamics of Ripple shows significant increase last weeks. But it is not clear what will happened with this coin in 2018.
IMHO, Ripple has very sofisticated wallet to use. Thats why someone doesn't invest in it.

XRP is a very valuable coin, but you should know that XRP is not a decent altcoin, and it has some inconsistencies with the concept of blockchain. However, we must admit that XRP's technical strength is very strong.

Ripple is certainly one of the most interesting, promising and at the same time unusual currencies. let's start with the fact that it can not even be fully qualified as a crypto currency. it has no decentralization. but she has a unique technology! so if you ask whether it is worth investing - I will answer "it's worth it!" I would buy a part, and part invested in new and still little-known promising projects. only they can give an opportunity to earn cherished x10 or x20

I think holding XRP for a long term investment will be a good plan I think XRP will be huge in 2018 but if your plan is holding it till 2020 it could give you 20x of profit.

Ripple is one of those altcoins that gets pumped so often and it always has at least 4 or 5 major pumps each year. of course sometimes they last very short but they are always very profitable because Ripple has a very small value and that helps with the pump-ability of it since it is always easier to pump cheaper altcoins than it is to pump bigger ones. not to mention that Ripple is centralized and heavily manipulated which helps a lot with the pumps.

if i were you, i would invest only during the pumps and never a buy and hold strategy because i like my bitcoins actively in trading not sleep in some altcoin that may take a long time to back up.

Stay away from ripple, I lost a lot of money with ripple. I think now not a best time to invest in altcoin at all. I'll wait till the price will fall more then now, and I'll buy some after that.

What? How tf did u lost money on XRP?
Last year it was 0.005$. You just needed to HODL

At this time I think it does worth buying ripple, price will not be $2 in a short time for sure. You should buy other coins.

No matter its premined or not decentralized, i still see Ripple's potential to have its full swing starting by Jan next year. As we can see on the graph, Ripple has the fourth largest market cap in the crypto and its price is still cheap so you can buy it in volume because it is still at a lower price.

I do not recommend Ripple. Its backed up by a company building alliances with corporations and banks.
They are going to pocket all the profit themselves and do not have a value for community.

The fundamentals are completely against the bitcoin.

Put your hard earned money into bitcoin. Please beware of ripple.

Is it worth having a Ripple crypto currency in your investment portfolio? The question, of course, is logical, but how active will be the revolutionary technology of the Ripple system, only time will show. Ripple clearly has positive features: support for well-known banks and the presence of large investors such as Google; a revolutionary proposal for the financial system; the system will work fully with its massive use. There are always huge risks. But I believe, that Ripple worth it.

This is just the difference between two kinds of protocol, POS, and POW, you need to know about the basic knowledge, then XRP this has gone up a lot of money, in the short term may not be what potential, you can replace a tokens to invest.

[Beremat]

certainly it is a good coin to buy now. I have read in a news that there will be more than 60 banks will use Ripple technology for their international transaction. So, let buy it now and wait until it rises up to $3 in 2018

I do think xrp is a good for buying but it is good for utilization, you wouldn't have to worry about losing some because of volatility. If you are to send money I suggest use currencies like xrp. Minimal loss if the price went down compared to btc or eth.

[Vaniaayu]

at the moment the price of XRP is quite expensive, I think you are too late to buy it, indeed the XRP is not affected by the decline in the market, but it must remain vigilant

Yes you can buy it, it overtook ethereum and currently the king of Alts. Which means it has proven it has all capabilities to grow further in the market. As a centralised coin it has shown some good signs to the investors and most of the investors are willing to invest in ripple.

[cpk02]

I will not believe for some people says that Ripple coin is dead because this coin is really competing to Ethereum. this year the number two rank next to Ethereum. Ripple coin has the potential to rise in the crypto market.

Of course it is better when the coins are decentralized than centralized, but I believe that it has good opportunities for growth and development. Buy it is worth at least to expand the crypto portfolio.

right you should not have to invest at a time like this because, it is useless, of course you will experience losses and lots of money will be eliminated while the results will be nil, it is better to wait for the right time until the coin price goes up and then you can invest again safely and can benefit.

[fedben]

Those coins are currently not flying as one expects it, but I think this is a great opportunity for whoever wants to buy ripple. I believe it has the potential to be great in the future. The current market might not be suitable, but ripple is a very good coin which would bloom in the future.
