Why is Ripple not dead?

[Paycheck]

I don't care if Ripple dies or not, I just need it to be pumped hard one more time so I can sell my ~5400 coins and make a huge profit.  Then who cares what happens to Ripple after that!

If the only loser in 2019 out of 2600 suspects is Ripple, how is the community cleaning up this f--ing mess that we find ourselves wallowing in?

Although Ripple has a lot of cons people, Ripple also has a large supporter. We can see this from the daily transaction value which continues to be above $ 10 million and this indicates that the liquidity of the ripple in the market is very large.

Those who are holding, trading and investing in XRP would not wish its death and above all, the team will not want that to happen. These are the only set of people that can trigger its death.
A coin that has been operating for years is definitely an already established coin. Although, there are controversies on it, but that does not result into that.

It's true but would you pick a project that has been continuously put in a position where they are tagged as a manipulative project? I guess many people is trading xrp but I will still prefer eth over them. Their platform isnt really a kind of approach to decentralized and favor only big private sector and banks interest.

Even after those controversial issues, they are still hanging and conquering the market. Their platform brings their success up until now, this is the main reason why they still have the support of private sectors.

We can see their progress and development even after those issues, it's not dead because of the community that still believe in them.

Ripple is still quite good alts even it's decentralized it managed well and still developing by the team.
Many upcoming projects by ripplr too maybe it can increase it's value in the future, brad the ceo is going well so far

Ripple occupy the more marketcap so it will maintain a top level on upcoming years. I think further development will never boostup the Ripple because slowly they loose the investors also and banking support platform is little attract the some investors so XRP will stay in long term and price fluctuation is slowly affect the further improvement.

Ripple is not dead because there are still naive people who believe it will go to the moon. It was losing value with its old CEO so they changed him and it's still losing value under the new one. XRP is shit.

It will have its pumps because the cheaper it is the easier it is to manipulate for fiat whales. Also the Ripple company needs it to be pumped from time to time because pumps mean headlines and publicity.

I pity people who are holding their XRP bags since the last Bitcoin bull market.

This coin is no longer a good investment option because this year the downtrend is still overwhelming this market so it will be difficult for Ripple to increase in price. In my opinion the reason people do not invest in this coin is because the project development team is holding a lot of XRP and they can totally sell at any time if they want. I think if this is not fixed in the near future, XRP is just a normal coin.

There are currently hundreds of other options for you and it is best to focus on coins with good technology and low supply because that is the best choice.

In my own point of view, the reason why ripple is not dead because a lot of people still buy this coin that they believe it can still have a good value in the near future like bitcoin and ethereum. Ripple is also one of the cryptocurrencies that has a good market price, that is why it has a less chance to die.

Both Ripple and XRP (and it is always important to make the distinction, as the two are often conflated) are very strong, and likely have a great future ahead of them. As fro XRP price, this is likely heavily affected by Ripple dumping lots of XRP on quite a frequent basis. Similarly Jed McCaleb has a huge stash, which he is legally allowed to sell (within limits). These I think are the two main factors keeping XRP price down in spite of all the good news for both Ripple the company and XRP the coin.

[Aabcde]

The reason why XRP is not dead is the number of companies that use their services. In their site also explained that there are 200+ customers who work with them. Personally, I don't really like XRP either because the supply is regulated by their own policy or the company. This is what I consider XRP not crypto but rather e-payment.

Ripple becomes the center of controversy over the past few months. It will be hard for it to increase its price. It stays where it is right now and I think this will be its limit since there are other better altcoins in the market to choose with. Unless if the manipulators of that coin will make a move to try attracting investors.

It is worth remembering that XRP is not regulated by SEC, because a coin can be arbitrarily “opaque” and survive on speculation alone, without any real benefit.

Money talks a lot here huh. Besides having a very strong financial back up, I think the team from Ripple is really competent. They always try to maintain and always develop this Ripple project. Many other companies are only after profit alone, so they tend not to be able to develop further. But I noticed that this Ripple is different. Their aim is greater than money I think.

There are many coins that are dead and people will be holding those coins, i am not telling that XRP will be dead but the possibility of seeing a huge rally in the coin is highly unlike but there is a ton of liquidity in the exchanges.

A coin that has been operating for years is definitely an already established coin. Although, there are controversies on it, but that does not result into that.

A coin operating for years does not mean that it is established it all depends on the development team they have. If they are updating and taking care of the project then it will be fine.

Ripple is not a breakthrough technology, its rival Stellar created by Ripple founder Jed McCaleb has much greater potential than Ripple, Stellar supports smart contracts and Ripple is not. Moreover, Ripple controls most of the Ripple net so it is not decentralized.

-wants to sound smart
-totally fails

Ripple supports smart contracts.

Ripple only  controls 20% of ripplenet validators, if we take it precisely then its is MORE DECENTRALISED THAN BTC AND ETHIRIUM

I didnt know stellar is greater,  only thing i know stellar is giving money away for free 
AND the founder can create more stellar as they wish. BTW, IBM ditched stellar and so did stronghold. Stellar network was down for a day cause the network went offline L O L

I am not a big supporter of Ripple, but I would say one thing - Ripple is having a good number of powerful backers and that's the reason why it is currently the 3rd largest cryptocurrency (in terms of market capitalization). Stellar Lumens is technologically much advanced when compared to XRP and doesn't have the negatives usually associated with XRP such as centralization. But despite all this, it is currently ranked at the 10th position, with a market cap less than 1/10th that of XRP.

Now the question is why XRP's market cap is 10 times that of XLM. There is no short answer to this, as a lot of factors come to play. The first thing to remember is that there is a lot of market manipulation going on with the altcoins and XRP promoters can afford to spend money to manipulate the exchange rates of XRP. XLM is at a disadvantage here. Also, the market cap of XRP is inflated, as I have stated in many of my earlier posts.

ripple will not die, because ripple is one of the favorite coins and has the lowest transfer fee among other popular coins and almost all exchanges provide it, being an alternative to reduce transfer fees. that's my reason why for me ripple means so much.
and sometimes if lucky investment in ripple provides a lot of gains profit compared to other alt.

It seems to me that Ripples has not only a lot of good patrons, but also a smart professional team that really works correctly to popularize and prospects for its project.  Today, Ripples is already starting to cooperate with such companies whose partners are several dozen large banks around the world.  All that is happening today with the ripples is primarily the merit of the team.

^^^^ It is not surprising. The rise of XRP have made many of its creators uber-rich and these guys can easily spend a few hundred million USD every year to prop up that coin. And they have already managed to build some partnerships with the banks and other financial institutions. If you analyze, you will see that the XRP volumes are much lower than that of other cryptos such as LTC and ECH. But they have been successful in maintaining their rank according to the market cap.

There's no way ripple will die. I'm not a big fan of ripple but I know that ripple is the number three biggest cryptocurrency after bitcoin and ethereum which is supported by a powerful group of people. Ripple has always been one of the favourites in cryptocurrency business so there's no way ripple will die.
