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.
