Is Ripple a scam? Shocking Forbes article about XRP !!! (POLL ADDED)

[BitcoinHodler]

XRP being a shitcoin is an undeniable fact so there is no surprise there and whenever someone talks about it being scam they do have a point specially when you see them point out the premine, the way they own all the coins and the way they have been pump and dumping it. not to mention that they control the whole network tightly while advertising it as a decentralized coin where it clearly is not! that last one is the biggest scam of all.

[No Pain No blood]

ripple isn't scam, but too much manipulation is done by dev. dev ripple just wants to take advantage of the volatile crypto market. when viewed from the development of the ripple project far behind.

I don't think Ripple is a scam. As a result, Ripple is now the third coin with the most market cap. The fact that Ripple is a centralized platform makes me a little confused. But that doesn't give me the idea that Ripple is a scam.

When some read the article and ask the question,and who benefits from it in the first place??? because unfortunately we live in a time when all news are under control,and are only paid,it is recommended to publish,then publish on the public,really really important news is likely not where you do not see!So I'm sure the article about Ripple is not the fact that there is the truth, and in General the project RIPL is very cool and promising,and he has a lot of just partnerships

I can't remember the last time I bought a ripple. the thing I remember is XRP made my money burn. too much manipulation for the XRP market, so I think this is a high-volume shitcoin. a lot of people lost because they held the ripple last year, you know when their prices rose slowly only in a sudden time the market was dumped

I don't always  believe everything I read In the news and so should you. It could all be an information passed around the media, created by the whales to shill Xrp. Do your own research and don't turn to a weak hands out of ignorance

[frost_wind]

I always thought that xrp is too overvalued and manipulated coin that has no future. We should not expect anything other than promises and manipulations from them, and I would say that this asset is well suited for traders who understand how the market works, but this project is too risky for ordinary investors

[KingScorpio]

well jes xrp is just an "itcoin" and its no less decentral than bitcoin with its big miner cartel

[Hamphser]

Since this shitcoin is created its already considered to be a scam.All things backed by banksters have the tendency of manipulation and seeing that infographic about into their business model,its
clear as water and dont know if someone wont recognized this big scam.

As totally centralized token it is not a cryptocurency.  It is as much a cryptocurency as a secondlife lindens or World of Warcraft gold.

[Cryptorwellian]

The answer is in the first 3 letters of its name.

What do you call something that rips people off ?

The transactions are fast and cheap, that's good, but Stellar, the original XRP, is a nice foundation doing good in the world.

And XLM is 4 times cheaper than overpriced XRP.

Hence : RIPple

[Bloodseekers]

I am one of ripple haters, The reason I hate ripple because cryptocurrensy should be decentralized because with decentralized system crypto can defeat banke. But we knew so many romus that ripple help bank, with centralized system. Im not trust ripple and i stop invest in this coin. I think i agree with that article

[cherryganda]

Ripple is not a scam and htey have a good price in the market.
Though i believe that the movement and the supply is being manipulated by its own team.
Have no proof but this is what i am thinking which made me decide to stay away from this one.

Don't believe everything you read and do your own research.  Lots of other misunderstandings cleared up here:

Ripple does look valuable, especially in capitalization in the third position, and not far from Eth. I just think that Ripple is still worthy of being a digital asset in a certain period of time or as desired. Can be used as a trading day that might indeed have a slight advantage.

to be fair that has nothing to do with this topic and Ripple being scam or not. XRP is simply a pump and dump shitcoin which is why some people who are not familiar with pump and dumps or don't want to accept it, lose money because they end up getting on board with the pump too late or end up bag holding. if you improve your timing then you start making better profit too.

I can understand what are they tolding us that article which you are mentioned.
But I don't think it is SCAM. It is manupilative, not decentralized and not good for me too but they are not SCAM! They are working well and they are trying to create a new method based on blockchain.

As far I know, Ripple coin used for banking transaction and i dont think its a scam because Ripple Network used by many banks in the world. Ripple is good coin and have big community with huge daily transaction volume, and i think its about our perspective on Ripple

Everybody is blindly repeating after Ripple executives that Baks are using RippleNet protocol and their additional products like xVia, Xcurrent.

Like the author said this is not confirmed and there is a suggestion in the article that Ripple pays them to do it.

I don't know what is the truth right now and that is why asked community for an opinion and discussion.
