Why is ripple going to the moon ?

[Billyboy402]

ripple is centralized crap, dont fall for that nonsense. Nxt and btc are cheap right now

Bitcoin is always cheap :/. Bitcoin was cheap at 700, cheap at 600, cheap at 500, and so forth. All them Bitcoins were bought 'cheap' from the 'weak hands'. I can still remember guys patting each other on the back, shouting out: 'I'll take those coins from you!'. I notice that the sheer triumphalism has declined though, although the average Bitcoin cultist is still miles away from getting back to reality.

Just wake up: the average Bitcoiner on these boards was NEVER in it for the (limited) applications of Bitcoin. It was all about the money for the them, and now Bitcoin is falling they are leaving the sinking ship. Crypto anarchist ideas are, like any anarchist ideas, based on ideological nonsense. Governments will never, ever, allow for this perfect opportunity for money laundering, selling drugs or fraud. Nor will they allow people to avoid taxes on a grand scale. Whenever Bitcoin reaches to the occassion again like in previous December, which it won't, it will get killed by governments with one click on the button. I expect some kind of defense in the sense of 'but, but , Bitcoin is decentralized!', which is of course oblivious to the major role that the central exchanges play in this entire game. Take out the exchanges, and it is game over in terms of price.

Bitcoin will never succeed because of its anonymity and your ideological resistance against anything that smells centralized is simply in vain. Ripple will likely succeed because of its centralized character, as that gives the opportunity for compliance, centralized development and drawing up contracts with other entities. Bitcoin on the other hand is chaos in the absence of a ruler. That is why it is doomed to die and why you should wake up and smell the coffee.

If you want simple centralized payment - just use PayPal . Or dwolla ( I bet you forgot about them )  please don't use ripple

I believe someone mentioned 90% are owned by early corporation founders so a dump should be iminent

You mean like that time Steve Jobs and Bill Gates dumped their stock in the early 80s, oh wait...

it really depends how and what you plan to do in ripple tho.  this is one good example of ripple's use cases:  http://weboftrust.net

it's a LETS type system using thr ripple network.  it's pretty cool.

Is that really the standard these days? "I believe someone mentioned ..."

Ripple has some venture capital going into it.  Anyone have the numbers?  How many millions for 2013, 2014?

It's all they have. That, and a bunch of one sentence FUD posts. This happens to all coins that are going to the moon: DRK, XC, QRK, BC, etc.

That's what keeps me invested in this.

I was a bit concerned with yesterday's skyrocketing price but today it has climbed gradually and consistently. That's much more to my taste. The investments can keep this evened out and increasing.

Another thing that has me invested in this is that both the Japanese and the Chinese are invested in this. I don't remember a coin in the near past where the Japanese have invested so heavily. It reminds me of when the Chinese started investing in Bitcoin in the fall of 2013. We all remember how the price of Bitcoin went from the $100's to the $1000's at that time.

what if ripple labs and the stellar foundation are talking and are planning on working together...?  ripple could handle the banks while stellar handles the consumers. 

would it be possible to do something like cross chaining between the two networks? they are basically the same.

You know better than anyone, Jed isn't working with Chris again.

such a waste... and so sad.

don't worry, the driver will come back.  he had to take a crap or something. 

[EyesWideOpen]

And no media attention ?
FIshy ?

Ok I'm gonna buy 1200$ ripple right now.
15btc & 5btc worht in ripple seems like a good gamble investment

 

Try to be less obvious with your shilling.

Based on what we learned from a former board member, Jed threw a tantrum after Chris and other board members blocked his financing proposal that could've potentially made him a lot of money. How did Jed react? By leaving Ripple and announcing the imminent sales of his premine which tanked the market. After that, Jed and his girlfriend created Stellar, a cousin of Ripple.

Jed is freaking smart, but he is greedy and his two centralized tokens lack any social ideology. It is a vehicle designed to make him an enormous amount of money. Whether investors will buy in to his scheme remains to be seen, but Stellar and Ripple will not work together as long as the existing boards of either organizations remain.

LMFAO @ this.  No different then Ripple then.

Once either gets too big they will get raided by the US government and then get shut down.  Centralization doesn't look too good from the interior of a jail cell.

yeah.  not good if ever that happens.  ripple labs is developing their implementation of smart contracts (plus more).  would hate to see it go to waste:  http://codius.org

hopefully another dev team will take over.
