You have got to be joking – is Coinbase the ONLY exchange on the planet. You can open and account at Kraken (US based) and directly buy/sell XRP for fiat.

This article looks to me as being advertising. The XRP token is exchangeable for USD and EURO on kraken (one of the biggest exchanges). So if that is already the case then that argument cannot be a trigger for higher prices

        Because bitcoin has to be mined, while ripple is completely centralized and not mineable. It isn’t even a crypto, it is more like a platform. It’s bankers coin, do I really have to say anything else? While ripples price might grow in the future, it is unfair to call it cryptocurrency.

        Let them do their reading, banking paid bitch boys. Ripple defeats the whole purpose of moving to a system where the average punter doesnt get f*cked over like 2008. More FUD to try to stop that right shoulder forming.

        Ripple created a token as a means for more efficient money transfer (cross-border settlement). They’re a company solving a real problem… The CEO doesn’t even consider XRP a currency, but a “digital asset”. Banks are also going nowhere. You clearly don’t know how an economy works.

        Yes, bitcoin is mined, but that isn’t a positive thing! That makes it expensive to use, painfully slow to process, and expenses a tremendous amount of demand on the electrical grid. Xrp is cheap, and fast. Oh….XRP LEDGER, DESPITE WHAT YOU THINK, IS DECENTRALIZED. Its ripple, the company,that is centralized.

        It would be possitive if Bitcoin was mined the way it was intended to. RIPPLE IS NOT DECENTRALIZED, because trusted nodes are only owned by ripple.

        Have you considered the costs of fiat? ATMs, SWIFT, hydrocarbons and plantations for notes, REAL MINES for mining nickel (soooo goddamn poisonous) for coins, running a mint… this is somehow more environmentally friendly than a system of ASIC miners running. Im not saying building computers doesnt use most of that stuff, but seeing as we’re going to keep building computers anyway, doesnt it make sense to work with an efficient network, and retire the old one that needs armoured trucks and vaults for moving around cash and gold.

        BTC is a joke. Mining has completely centralized it, mining destroys the environment, and hardly anyone uses it in commerce. Transactions take forever to confirm, the costs to send are too high, and using the LN violates the original ethics of BTC… The mainstream still associate BTC with fraud/crime/anarchism, while Ripple is working with regulators to disassociate “digital assets” with crime. They’re doing more to advance the space than BTC is.

      No, coins like Ripple are not ruining crypto.
      What’s ruining crypto is the bitcoin bubble and all the people that turned bitcoin from a promising asset into a speculative tool.

  Okay, then tell me why do you think, that an instrument like ripple, which is already gaining many strong partners such as central banks, that are using the technology behind the coin, shouldn’t appreciate over time. I am not saying it will reach bitcoin levels where the purpose was total anonymity, but i think the price should increase over time, let say in a 1-3 years investment period

  Grow up, kid. Most people don’t care that much how centralized or decentralized it is, but rather 1) is it useful and 2) is it cheap.
  You sound like a naive fool, honestly.

    That’s is the problem, people should care, and if not those people who cared and liked the oriinal idea, then cryptocurrency today would be still unknown. Decentralization is the main aspect of a cryptocurrency.

XRP does not represent a stake in the company Ripple, the banks that are their customers do not hold it or use it for transfers and the supply is limitless. There is no value in that coin. None. A similar comparison to a centralised blockchain is NEO, however whilst it is centralised for now, they are working their asses off to change that by engaging more and more good partners to branch the blockchain. Good luck trying to pump XRP back to $4. Positive FUD turned out to be bullsh*t. dickhe*d.

    Give me one reason why a limitless coin that doesn’t represent a share in the company, isn’t held, but plugged by banks and their promoters like CNBC will ever reach more than $4? BTW the $4 hike was on fake rumours that XRP would be made available on coinbase which was completely refuted.

    By running a pilot that involves you holding xrp for the time it takes for the transfer to complete, proceeds go to ripple co, xrp represents no stake in that company. Yeah I’m up with the news, still trying to see the value proposition given xrp is limitless and there to facilitate the software.

  Limitless??? There is a limit on xrp. And a burn rate decreasing the amount. As for the amount that has been made….1) it makes prices more stable, 2) ripple has one hell of a motivation to do whatever is necessary to increase xrp value. Oh, btw, GOOGLE IS INVESTED IN RIPPLE. It’s the the blockchain company that has received a Google investment. Ripple will be around for a LONG TIME
