Should move to BTC?

[Velkro]

I hold XRP from long time but i see BTC price raise a lot and XRP don't do much. They have a consolidated project but no matters what BTC price its still mandatory.

Do you wonder why? This is really simple, ripple is centralised worthless project that won't ever do anything special or technology behind it be any unique.
Bitcoin on the other hand is true technological revolution since invention of internet. Its trully decentralized which was never the case in history for digital assets/funds. Many was thinking its impossible, but Satoshi proved us wrong.

Invest in technology, not people telling good stories how they will conquer the world

The movement of Altcoin in the last few months is not satisfactory and maybe this is not the season for Altcoin, and if you want to switch to bitcoin in my opinion it is a very good choice.
The movement of bitcoin on the market is still in good condition and although in a declining condition the price of bitcoin is still in good condition compared to Altcoin and the movement of bitcoin does not increase Altcoin which makes many people switch to bitcoin, bitcoin popularity always increases because bitcoin is very functional so it can be used for transactions or whatever purchases make bitcoin fans continue to grow, and many people are interested in adopting one that makes bitcoin better than Altcoin.

[Arsenyo]

I would switch to bitcoin. Of course ripple blockchain performs much better than Bitcoin. It performs faster, cheaper, and more scalable transactions. But bitcoin is the number one cryptocurrency, it is more suited as a store of value rather than a payment system though. I would just sleep better with holding btc not ripple. But it's up to you.

Hi guys ! Thats a question i do to myself very often , and it always looks like the right answer. My main coin for now its XRP (like 3000) and a very few BTC (0.005).

I hold XRP from long time but i see BTC price raise a lot and XRP don't do much. They have a consolidated project but no matters what BTC price its still mandatory.

So the question is , should i sold like 2500XRP and buy BTC when this one have a price drop?

I know its something i had to decide myself , just looking for what you guys think.
Thanks!

XRP experienced very slow developments. If you're from a few months ago moving your coins to Bitcoin, I think you've made a lot of profit. By looking at the market conditions Bitcoin is dominating. Even with the dominance of Bitcoin makes the price of all the altcoins down and experiencing very slow growth.

Try now go to the market and decide to buy Bitcoin. I guess you'll benefit, but you use a short-term trading strategy.

If you will purchase bitcoin now, you should not implement a short-term trading strategy because the price is just lower than the expected price of bitcoin which is $10,000. It is better if you will continuously buy bitcoin and stack them up and wait for the big event next year and that is when you will think about selling your bitcoin and I think that is the best time to enjoy your so called 'benefits'.

I don't support the act of invest in XRP not to talk of holding it for its a centralized coin and can be manipulate anytime while Bitcoin is the best coin to invest and hold now due to the downtrend market but that doesn't mean the above user cannot implement the short form of trading if he have the require knowlesge because every market have it own advantages.

Well, if the other coins are not doing it for you, then it would be best to dump then, and  move over to Bitcoin. I mean, by now, we all know that one of the safest ways to invest in the crypto market is by investing in Bitcoin. Although there are a vast majority of altcoins to also chose from. But if you have some shitty coins in your wallet, and you are not so sure, then you should move to btc.

[Dabs]

I'd move to BTC, or at the very least buy more of BTC using external money (fiat). You could also buy more XRP, but I'd wait until I have a healthy position in BTC.

This is all assuming you don't use your coins for anything else and are just buying, and you have extra or disposable income so you can forget about BTC.

Those who live or rely on crypto to pay for everything have a different situation.

[fullhdpixel]

If in your portfolio is predominantly XRP, then you have studied this project and believe in its future. If Bitcoin has risen in price, but your coin is not, then just now is not her time. However, this does not mean that you need to sell all XRP coins and buy more expensive Bitcoin. This is called haphazard trading, which often leads to losses. You should hold your coin and just wait for its time. A successful investor is someone who knows how to wait.

I bet to disagree with you brother, how can you advise someone against selling of ripple to bitcoin when you know that ripple has no future again to me when it comes to investment, they might be quite ok for usage but not for investment or to be held as an asset, so it would just be like a waste of time for anyone to be tying investment down in ripple.

I would rather prefer to buy that expensive coin that I am sure will still give me some profit in future than to but ripple, which I know that bitcoin is still very cheap to purchase right now compared to what the value will be in the future. Aside the value of it, when it comes to investment guarantee and investment that you can be sure of still having for decades, I think that it is only bitcoin that is qualified for it so I see no reason why he should not sell to bitcoin.

If you are not at loss, it make sense to move your investment into bitcoin since it's more safer for you than XRP as a long term investment, another point. altcoins would not pump without bitcoin's price pumping, just make sure you buy at fair price ( bottom ). Having that said, this decision should be made by you and you are responsible for your own money. No one here is your financial advisor.

The same goes here, I'll go for the secured and trusted even before, I don't say that XRP is not trusted, there are some people stay loyal to it, but because of the issues happened a few months ago, I lose my trust to it. I better go for BTC.

[amonymous]

Are you sure? You have lossing holding XRP then i tell you don't sell cheap price you need wait some time, when XRP going pump then you can sell and take recover your money. Really i don't understand what gonna happen so better to see next pumping grap. But yes if you have extra amount then at this time you can buy and hold BTC for your future benefits.

[gunhell16]

Sell your XRP for BTC mate. Alts market are crashing slowly and I would admonish you to sell those ripple holdings and get some BTC in your portfolio. BTC dominance is increasing gradually and this is one of the signs of the BTC bull market.

RIpple still remain shit coin for me even they are on the top of rankings (3rd) in coinmarketcap.
You should never go to that and sold your XRP to BTC.
As of now all I can say is sell it and get some BTC at this low if you can consider putting some on Ethreum too.
These 2 coins will eventually get up and bring the price to a higher one!

[Naughty Princess]

This really means your top coin is XRP because in the first place you invested in xrp rather than btc. Why not decide for yourself though? And give time yourself to search which is better to invest in. Bitcoin has dominance in the market, on my point I always invest more on btc than any other altcoin.

He might have another way to get XRP without investing any amount rather having bitcoin. Though it does not rise often you have to wait till it bullish because every coin has its own time for good circulation along the market. It takes high risk to sell now with the bear market but you are the one to decide what you are going to do to increase what you have with potential coins.

that is the thing that I think about. at this time, it is very difficult to see altcoin develop first than bitcoin. so I also think the same, when you are not at a loss, it might not be a problem to convert it to bitcoin, considering the price of bitcoin has not fully recovered.

I feel that the price of XRP will not touch the price of $ 0.3 before the price of bitcoin reaches the price of $ 10,000. it has such a far-reaching allocation. think carefully before making a decision. maybe this daily analysis can also help you.

From the market situation and performance of coins so far, I will rather hold bitcoin than having a centralized coin like XRP that is centralized, XRP has not been performing well lately despite all the HYIPs around it. 

[Sebas.tian]

I suggest to hold your XRP. You have already invested on that for a long time. < ~~~~~~~~~ >

More also, having an extra income from outside the world of cryptocurrency will boost your portfolios if, you take time to invest in BTC and also, buy more of Ripple. Its not advisable to sell out what you have been holding for a longtime becasue, cryptocurrency market is unpredictable, sell out today and the price gain 1000x tomorrow. In your case, holding is the very best for you now than selling off your portfolio for Bitcoin. Extra cash will play an important role here.

Besides it even being a centralized coin, they don’t have community that is as strong as bitcoin to continue to promote their project and keep the market lively. One of the reasons why bitcoin came out of bear market easily and became lively was because it has lots of very strong communities that are wealthy and backing the project up, and also communities that are using the coin for payment purpose.

If you see most of the projects that we have today, their community is behind them because they are using it as investment and they feel that it is something they could get very high profit from, but unfortunately, coin like ripple has been more of disappointment to people than their usefulness. It is a very wrong decision to make ripple one's choice at this time.

If we will just include XRP to this topic then we should be moving 100 percent to BITCOIN.
But if you will do, you should consider to include other coins.
I might go 50/50 with BTC and ETH.
XRP will be going nowhere, I still can't understand those millions of XRP sending to other wallet and sell to market if the price rise.

This is very true, proven and tested. Making decisions out of nowhere will also lead you nowhere, I know that it is hard to resist the signs that the market is giving us to make our move, but selling out the coins you are hodling for a long time is a very dick move. A lot of scenarios could happen after that, when you sold your XRP because bitcoin's price right now is too good to buy and hold it, then the next day you woke up, bitcoin's price even dropped more, but the XRP price is just the same.

to make the long story short, don't sacrifice stable coins like XRP or even the coins you hold for a long time, ask some fiat on your family and use that to buy bitcoin, that would be a lot better.

XRP is out of league over here as it's too manipulative due to it's unofficial nature of being a centralized crypto rumoured to have been created by banks to penetrate the crypto market and they control it's value by creating buy/sell demands. When it comes to Bitcoin and ETH my preference would be same 50/50 as both are trustworthy and bounces back no matter how hard they fall which is not the case with other altcoins.

But if he already made a profit for holding from the time he bought it, I suggest to transfer his funds to btc and then start holding again, it would be better.It wont be a regrettable decision since bitcoin is really good for long term investment. And this time is good to hold more after a big dump, sudden increase in its price is unexpected but since its price already decreased, its time to buy.
