While it undoubtedly made a lot of money for those who invested in in early and while the price was low (read, mostly bankers), a lot more people have been burned with its hype and then sudden price drop.

See, this is not the first time people got burned on Ripple. It happened before, it happened now and it will happen in the future when they see the chance to grab more money.
This time a lot of new investments came in late 2017 and the money flowed yet again into bankers pocket.

If you really want that new house and be free from bankers influence, the best way is to vote with your money and choose something else.

Ripple should be removed from coinmarketcap.com

Lol too funny. I only invested in ripple a few weeks ago and I'm still up ..a lot and I fully expect a strong rebound. Notice the whole altcoin market is down right now.. Its not just ripple. See the topic..'the entire crypto market is bleeding right now'

Move on with the FUD somewhere else

While I disagree with your kind of Schadenfreude, I agree with your last sentence... It should be removed from coinmarketcap.com because it's just not a cryptocurrency...
I don't really care if people want to invest in it or not, can't blame people for trying to win games from the banksters, but it should be called out for what it is:

https://cryptoyoda1338.wordpress.com/2018/01/04/the-truth-about-ripple/

quote:
XRP is 100% premined, Ripple holds 60% of the supply, controls which nodes are selected as “trustworthy” to confirm transactions, while they have paid nothing to create those tokens that people are so willingly buying at $4+ per piece and thereby make the creators insanely rich. Let us call it what it really is, digital fiat, the renewed version of the debt-based traditional fiat system, leveraged by latest technology – which eventually has nothing to do with cryptocurrency whatsoever.

You think that Ripple should be removed from coinmarketcap because its not a real cryptocurrency right? I somehow agree, because it really isnt a crypto and its scary how much of the coins the founders and the foundation itself is still holding, but as so many people are invested in XRP as well it would be hard to just exclude it from cryptocurrency trading. What would be the right thing to do? List it on wall street? Ive also been holding some XRP that I bought when it was still around 20 cents, but Im totally with you that its not a cryptocurrency and therefore shouldnt be treated as such.

I have to agree that there was something suspicious in the super price pump of xrp, the charts are now showing, may be another case of whales buying out the bottom and selling the top for some quick bucks.

News flash! Nobody cares about your principles of decentralization. Take your FUD and move on people.

A lot of the new money coming in could care less and some may even feel more comfortable with a more standard "centralized" institution controlling the price.  

If you're smart you will hedge your bet between centralized and decentralized crypto's,

Lol, 4 month old account is gonna coma and tell nobody cares...

how old are you kid? Have you seen what happened in 2008, did you look into the abyss of total global financial destruction? Don't think so... You should read up on history and learn what centralized institutions who control the money supply tend to do with that power...

I was smart in 2012 when I entered the crypto-sphere. So I've been smart for about 6 years already.

You've been smart for what, 4 months??? I hope for you that in 6 years you can still tell people how to be smart...

good luck, and best regards

If I understood you correctly, you tell us that XRP behaves the same way as BTC, and that we should not listen to fudsters, as we
did not listen to them about BTC either?

I do not understand either. Ripple is highly manipulated coin and the company owns tons of XRP. It is pumped in the beginning of every alt season and then small noob investors read the news and see that Ripple is being used by banks. They just can not imagine an finance model without banks and buys XRP in high prices, then it is dumped even before the alt season ends. I earned money again from XRP the last week but I am out now.

Well it is so. I agree Ripple should not be in coinmarketcap, because coins most of the ownership is controlled by banker groups and very risky for manipulation. This issue should be lifted by altcoins media for evaluation.

First off I'm not a kid, Second I'm an libertarian turned anarcho capitalist "Principal wise"... So, trust me I know what you are saying 100%. I used to FUD this coin when it was bouncing from 16-20 cents and my friends were all getting on the boat. Had I not stayed away from this coin because of my "Principles" I'd be doing really well now.  I can't complain though I bought in around 90cents and sold everything at $3.13 then bought back a small bag from my profits around $2.00. its all free money to me at this point.  I finally jumped in the crypto market last April-June and I've learned a lot since then.  I hope i'm rich in 6 years !!! lol

I also don't like Ripple and I also burned a lot of money on it previously. But it dropped like any other coin drops after such a huge growth. In my opinion it's just a correction and price will be stable around 2,5-3$

Huh Then why not buy a coin that fits your beliefsystem and has lots of potential still... Look at monero... Look at mimblewimble/Grincoin (it's not even out yet...)

But I get what you are saying too, I'm not averse to making money or something... But you shouldn't call calling out XRP for what it is (digital version of our current f-ed up monetary system) FUD... facts are facts, not FUD

LOL we call ripple "FED coin", but I still know plenty of libertarians that invested in it anyways. Dash, OMG, Monero and ether are my largest HODL holdings ATM I've got some shit coins sprinkled in there but I typically move them around.

No I have not taken any lesson from ripple, now it decreased and I am buying more ripple, it is centralized and one of the best profitable coins. I hold it for money not for decentralization.

hahahaha. bitcoin hit $20k and fell to $12.6k in a matter of weeks (and is stuck below $15k). hilarious you mention ripple and bankers, but fail to see that bankers offering bitcoin futures is what decimated the price. bitcoin is a bankers coin now! GTFO ➡️

Ripple remove with Coinmarket? What are you talking about, this will never happen! And you will see a very serious ripple growth and will be surprised.

consider that price went down (on coinmarketcap) because they removed south korean exchanges from portfolio
south korean markets pays a good premium over others..

but today price seems to face new recovery based on moneygram partnership news

anyway nothing has changed, people is going to be rich or poor as usual ;-)

Do not worry, Ripple does this 2-3 times a year. It will rise again.
