Do you think Ripple (XRP) will rise to moon.

[Kelvinid]

A piece of news said that "Ripple Co-founder Jed McCaleb sold 1.20 billion XRP since 2014,"

My question is how can a coin price raise when its founder selling the massive amount coin. 1.20 billion is a big amount, and it directly affects XRP price. Maybe it is one of the main regions XRP lost about 44% of its value in 2019.

All-Time High   $3.84 USD  (Jan 04, 2018)

All-Time Low   $0.002802 USD  (Jul 07, 2014)

Current             $0.278976 USD

What do you think we still hold and wait for the bull or move to others, I'm still confused? 

Maybe you are?
Ripple is a decentralized coin in which its prices have been controlled by someone. It can only be bullish if that person wanting it to happen but the situation seems to be difficult and it turns out that Bullish is something that can't exist. I know many of us here are still holding XRP because we believe that it can be profitable and yes, it can but we should have to stop thinking that its price will rally high (just reaching to $5) coz that thing is difficult to happen.

Just like the answer that we usually see with questions about bitcoin reaching higher price, there is no one that has the crystal balls to say that it will or it won't.
Like what's happening now, everything is going on red again.

That's always a normal behavior of cryptocurrency, red days will tend to occur when top price was met. As a trader who has the mindset of holding long term, you won't take that as a big deal as long as you gain better profit along the way. Most importantly, ripple as an asset has the capability to compete a strong market and rising to the moon was just an inspiration but not really an accurate expectations.

Can't get bigger speculation with Ripple will go back to higher price, last two days when bitcoin back to higher price Ripple looks down and not care what have going on, keep stable with lower price and not get change with bitcoin and altcoin price have been on higher, just wait when ripple back the higher price.

Yes, you are right, we don't see much impact on the XRP when the price of Bitcoin crossed more than $10k. I hope XRP becomes very stable at the current value and has a huge chance the price of XRP will surely increase its price along with the price of Bitcoin recovery. My major intention is the supply of XRP is very huge.

It seems this month is not a good month for XRP, because the while some altcoins continue to move up almost 30% but XRP does not experience significant price increases, whatever the cause, but it seems not right for us to invest in altcoin XRP now, and we can see if now XRP prices are even more stable in exchange.
Personally, I prefer ETH, LTC and ADA coin this month for my investment assets rather than XRP coins.

Ripple is not like the other coins, the market doesn't affect ripple as much as it affects other coins, which is why when the market is going up, ripple wasn't doing anything too big.

Still, if they can get some more money involved, or if they sell the ripples they print, that affects the market insanely. Just recently they have printed ripple out of thin air and sold it on market, which caused the price not to go up during a bull market, if they keep doing stuff like that unfortunately they will be one day long gone and everyone will forget them.

However, if they can instead use the profits they make to buy and burn ripple instead, they could get higher and people will talk about them forever. Its literally in the hands of the team behind ripple to decide how they want to be remembered (or remembered at all).

Yes you are right the Ripple coin is a centralized coin that can easily manipulate ripple price, when they want do. Because still ripple coin team has holding billions of coins with them. and there no movement in Ripple price at present because we can see the crypto market is in bullish now. So we can not expect more from Ripple what op mentioned.

Ripple co founder sold out billions of worth coin no you mean this influenced in 2019, after 5 year ago it's happened, many times rumors spread about xrp. Short term holder should no need to put money in XRP this my recommendation for who guys. Now which your thoughts about xrp for long term or short term.

And here it is again, I think it is less than 24 hours and then the market rebounded. This is why it's unpredictable and just like what I've said, when bitcoin tends to move up, XRP and other altcoins will tend to follow.
Actually, I don't hold XRP and I'm just telling the pattern that many alts are following so if you take it as part of your asset, still assess the risk that you're getting.

I'm curious to see if XRP pumps again with BTC. If we saw almost 4 usd with the last rise XRP could be in for near 5+ usd levels in the future. 50/100 dmas are crossing soon and the usd price just hit a nice breakout point.

[jerrison]

Ripple has proven itself over the years of been strong and resilient. it has current affiliations or partnership with institutions that are of high reputations and it has stood  the taste off time. it is amongst one  of the oldest coins that exists and still continues to make marks in its own space of finance. i consider  ripple a relevant token as it has use cases bothered around finance. The selling off of 1.2b ripple by the co=founder has no long term negative impact on ripple but considering the total circulation of ripple, i can only say ripple will rise but if it will rise to the moon, I am yet to find out.

[Reatim]

well you can always refer to this thread https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1381669.0 as the best speculation and news happens there everyday because that is a Ripple(XRP) speculation thread.

actually i love visiting that section because i am also a XRP holder.

that is so high to expect because the last hype XRP made also brings issue that it is manipulated by banks so better not to expect that High mate,2-3$ are enough for me to exit and wait for next dump again.but XRP has a Good potential this only needs time because this is the lowest fee crypto ever has now.

XRP might not really be a good source of earning for short term because the price does not move on extreme edges for short term. 24hours high price for XRP is 0.288 while 24hours low is 0.268 which only gives us a gap of somewhat $0.02 per coin which might not be that excess and hence it might not be preferred to use XRP for short term trading. But, for mid and long term trading, XRP can really give us some good profits as the price would move from the dip to the peak and it would at least give us profit of $0.1 per coin which would be something which is expected.

We do not need to work for lower profits because it would keep the risk constant so why not take that risk for higher profits only. There are various other coins for short term trading but not XRP according to my perspective.

Is there any confirmed official news about Jed McCaleb selling 1.2B XRP? I do not really think this might be the case because hardly the owners of the project sell their coins. They might sell coins for the further development of the project and maybe the co-founder of XRP sold some of this coins just to develop the platform?

We already are aware about the xRapid and xCurrent platforms being launched on ripple network which would boost the centralized payment methods so these platforms might surely have needed huge funds and that might be something which Jed would have been collected by selling few of his coins. XRP would be among top coins who would pump in the coming bull runs so I am with XRP no matter how hard to markets turn out to be.

[nekonyun]

that is old news and if the founder has sold his coins it means that his founder have coin is now reduced and now it will not affect the price of xrp down, xrp is a major coin in market if market has entered bullish the price of xrp will go up

[Chrystora123]

snip..

Ripple prices are still strongly influenced by the price of Bitcoin, so I think it's very hard for Ripple to return to ATH if the price of Bitcoin doesn't go up, but the level of daily Ripple transactions is very high with 70% of Ripple transactions occurring at Binance.  just a suggestion, it's better to HODL Ripple because the price of Bitcoin is rising, it's likely that the price of Ripple will follow the price of Bitcoin (cmiiw)

[styca]

XRP is a great coin, and I am confident it will hit a new all-time high eventually, but I can't see it happening for a while. It does look underpriced against both bitcoin and the dollar, but there hasn't been any bad news about the coin to warrant this. It still has a very strong use case, and indeed there is a frequent flow of good news that is generally not reflected in upwards price movement.
It looks under-priced, and I can see it rising considerably. Just not to a new high quite yet.

Ripple (XRP) is now staying in the top gainer list. So, there has a possibility to fulfill your saying 'will rise to moon' .

[btc78]

any reason behind your Point?because you have just put a direct negative without any explanations?

but "Bitcoin must go first" before alts will so basically we need to wait for bitcoin to Bull first and that will happen sooner.
and for now?all we need to do is stay calm and hold our XRP for at least this whole year or the next?
