Why is Ripple price going mad right now?

[kashish948]

Ripple's price has increased 5X in almost a month or two. Can't seem to find any real reason for this! Does anyone know?

Another Aurora coin.  The "available supply" is deceiving as it actually isn't available, that amount is mostly held by Ripple employees who signed lockup agreements preventing them from selling for several years.   The end result is only a miniscule amount of Ripple is actually put up for sale and there's a bidding war for what little available Ripple there is.

I have seen a lot of positive developments over the last few months.

• Earthport partnership
• Fidor bank
• CBW Bank + Cross River Bank
• Astropay Intrabank network
• Shift Payments Card
• SnapSwap SmartyCard
• Noted in NACHA Future of Corporate Payments white paper
• GBI Gateway - and many others
• Codius smart programs/contracts

I do not think anyone can say with certainty what is moving the price, but I would assume that at least part of it relates to the above.

This type of stuff can build a perfect storm. Especially when new developments are being made and more gateways being added. I'm very bullish ripple over the next couple years.

The RIPPLE coin is a welcome gift for the financial industry.
The coin value is irrelevant for the ledger.

But why not fill it with value?
It comes for free, and any institution using it has the opportunity to make a market, starting from almost zero.
Its a dream come true for the industry players involved. They will make a killing.

Its the only system suitable for a transformation of the crumbling fiat network.
The walls are coming down just, the bottom is falling out.
For real world applications, any other coin, including Bitcoin of course, is completely useless as a transactional system.
RIPPLE is here, it works, and its being adopted. It delivers. Anything else is just toys.

It'll be bigger than Bitcoin ever was, and it will happen very fast now.
Its THE NEW MONEY. Get used to it, don't miss the opportunity.

certainly will keep an eye on it and possibly buy on the correction. glad at least one coin started making it out.

It has features, it has good commercials, it has a good chance.
You drew my attention too with it.

I still have to do more research whether this is a scam/bubble or a really full-featured coin that deserves its share.

Just some of the VC's that are invested in Ripple.  They obviously love Ripple enough to invest in it, so I don't get why some people are not giving it a chance.

Such certainty you show there. Reminds me of the certainty demonstrated by the persons calling many false bottoms and predicting uptrends during a long term bear market. But please stay in your blissful ignorance: you will probably be kicking yourself in a few months . Bitcoin will likely empty in an accelerated pace during the next few months.

What are you thinking about, Denker . I hope you didn't invest in Bitcoin recently as that was a bad move to start out with. If you want to invest in Bitcoin that's all fine by me, but at least wait until the next drop is over.
