Opinions on XRP for long term investment (BEGINNER)

[AliMan]

Coin XRP is one of the coins that is bail for long-term investments, because given the price of XRP at the end of the year 2017 ever climbed to $3.5, I think the price of XRP would go up again. If you buy now also good if you're playing long-term investments.

Not bad for long term investments, traders and holders would simply have that mindset xrp will reach a promising value. With patience and dedication on the method of growing our holdings, we can sustain once we're doing it practically. Xrp price will increase at smaller percentage everyday, you won't notice someday it has achieved the best selling price.

i think you should consider to buy xrp or trx instead digibyte, before you decide which coin you should buy, you need to make your own research about coin that you wanna buy, just follow your heart, but im recommend you to buy xrp instead digibyte  just put my 300$ invesment on XRP, and gonna hold it for long term

Seeking for opinions to the others here and also to those persons who have a enough experience on investing for long term is the best idea you've done. For now I also suggest to invest in xrp because xrp is a good ripple in which it may stable sometimes but if it pumps up then it would be huge and the graph of the xrp is like following the graph of bitcoin and ethereum, and xrp is one of the top 3 currencies so better if you will invest here.

What could be so wrong adding ripple to your list of coins you want to hold? First its a top coin even if its centralized like many claimed its still a good one, once you are into diversity of coins adding ripple is a plus, for long term hold ripple can't go wrong

Very good attitude - if you're interested in the market and have seen a few coins you're willing to spend time on, the best way of actually doing this is investing (a little) in them. XRP might be controversial, but as a counterweight to BTC etc. it's definintely worth a look. ROI-wise it's all hard to predict as the valuations in these markets still depend on speculation to 95%, but it makes sense to place a few bets on projects that you feel are *actually* solving a problem.

Ripple (XRP) is much better if set as a long term investment rather than on a short term. It is one of the consistently top altcoins. It has been ranked third over all for a long time. In fact, it has snatched away the second rank from Ethereum several times. If you buy XRP, you must be ready for a longer HODLing period. Do not buy XRP if you want a quick gain. HODL XRP until it reaches around 2$. That is very possible. The stronger bull run will give that to XRP.

You would not be saying this if you have invested into ripple during the last quarter of 2017 as it reached over $3 then straight away reduced to under 50 cents due to the increased supply and bearish market,  since then it has not reach $1. It's not about what people feel it's about the fact and reviews from those who had already invested. Ripple is a good coin for short term investment during bullrun but not sure about long term.

Patience will be tested when you use this coin for your investment, XRP which been around for some time already gave decent benefits to those investors who entrust their money with this project. XRP being inside the top 10 inside CMC are workable in  long term investment process, since value also rising when Bitcoin having it's rally you can hold some XRP and wait for the price to rise back till it reached the last time high or better if it's much higher and meet new ATH.

Buying when prices go up is one wrong concept. When prices go down it's a good start to start, with the crypto market where there is a dump there must be a pump, both of them alternating. As a trader or investment you have to know what the floor value is and how much the month is worth.

XRP is a coin that is widely discussed beside btc, eth, bnb and USDT. So the XRP market has a controversial market, as a form of investment I recommend always watching that market.

Why is everybody trying to invest in Ripple? The main aim of crypto is to create a decentralised world and Ripple stands for security, centralisation and control. Actually, XRP belongs to stock market and not to crypto.

Because the majority these days are only interested in making money and couldn't care less about decentralization etc. Apparently they all love bending over for governments, banks etc.

[glendall]

3% increase for crypto is not uncommon, minimum increase of crypto 30% and above as happened in bitcoin a few days ago,
if the market is bullish, any coins you buy provided that the top 10 rankings in the CMC will have good potential for the future,
 so don't wait long if you really want to invest, XRP is the right choice of many cryptocurrency that has good potential for long-term investment.

I am going to invest $150 (Canadian) into some coins. My first post mentioned DigiByte, but now I'm curious about XRP upon research and considering that it's within the top 10 coins I think makes it safe. Considering that I'm a COMPLETE noob and venturing this at 18, I started with $100 but felt an extra $50 would not hurt but that's the max I'm going. I'm very well aware of the risks and know I could lose my money which is why $150 is my max because losing won't hurt me. I'm not investing to make a quick buck, I'm just extremely curious in this market.

I've been following XRP for the last week and the price value has gone up by 3.05%, I'm curious whether people wait or buy straight away while the price has gone up (considering its the 3rd ranked coin). Also wondering if this is a coin for long term investment. I still have a lot to learn before considering investment, but I do not want to wait too long in case the value goes up. I don't even know how to buy a coin... apart from that, I'm curious if anybody has more information that will be useful for my final decisions.

XRP is one of the cryptos in the market having good reputation for long term investment. I am actually holding a little amount of it along with other cryptos but I have no plans of letting go of it right now despite of the market situation. I do believe that it would be able to recover someday. Some are not into ripple but in my opinion, if we are talking about long term investments, it should be on the list of options despite of the contriversies it is facing with regards to decentralization.

I think it is much worth it if you invest in XRP because it is cheaper and it is worth to invest your money to it in a long term because it has a potential to have a better value in the near future. Honestly, i also hold a small amount of XRP in my wallet and other altcoins like ETH, BCH, BNB and other coins that are worth to hold because it could go to the moon some day or next year.

XRP investment, LMAO
A lease never was or will be an investment.
What is next a casino token/chip/jeton is also an investment? It always belongs to the casino, you may take it home sell it to someone, whatever still belongs to the casino, same as XRP still belongs to Ripple
Gambling on some junk is not investment.
If you are a victim of fraud, seek legal advice, thats sound advice.

Whoever said that, but this investment in long term will bring you a lot of money.

The truth is that majority of these coin still relies on bitcoin to increase and I think without bitcoin gaining full strength of bull run, we just should not expect anything from these coins like ripple to reach that value, which I think it is a dream that may never come true, the last time ripple reached $4 was because altcoins market was new to bull run then, which their bull run was artificially created, and the ignorance of people made them to start pumping money into altcoins, including project that are even not trust worthy, but ever since people have been wise about altcoins now, do you see much people pump money into altcoin market except bitcoin? and if bitcoin rise is to affect coin like ripple, it will only be climbing by little percentage which makes me conclude that before ripple can get to $3.5, it will need bitcoin to reach like $100k.

The only advice I can give you right now is that if you have to ask for opinions about projects to invest in on Bitcointalk forum from a bunch of strangers, then you want to lose your money, as an investor, one of the first things you have to learn is how to DYOR and I know it's not the shortcut everybody is looking for, but it produces positive results.

[bgaf]

If you want to invest in XRP with long term, it's a very precise choice. Given that XRP never rose its price to $2.5 at the end of 2017, I suppose if long-term investments in XRP are very suitable.

Isn't that it doesn't wanted to rise but the price is affected also by demand and market cap. The supply of xrp is no doubt so huge. Seeing it at 1$ is already a good deal, maybe if they can be listed to every market like btc then they can caught up well with price. But yeah, if there is a good altcoin to buy now is xrp cause it is stable and slowly rising.

That is a good choice especially that you are still a newbie, investing in top 5 is the safest route for to lessen the risk of your investment.

150$ investment is a good start for a newbie especially that you already know the risk but what I can suggest is Eth then hold it for a long term. You can just visit your investment weekly/monthly and dispose your investment once it can hit x5 or more base on your target selling price.
