XRP (Ripple) - Discussions, News & Analysis

MrD · January 2, 2018

This thread is created to discuss Ripple Crypto-currency

I've just finished my last article for Monetize.info magazine: 2018 Ripple price prediction

Excerpt:

There is one cryptocurrency which lately took the cryptocurrency top, in force, rising spot after spot, now being on the 2nd place by the market capitalization, after having a 450% rise in the month of December 2017.

Ripple is set to disrupt the banking industry in an unprecedented way. The goal of Ripple is to be a global settlement network, a platform to allow anyone to transfer money in any currency to any currency in a matter of seconds.

Ripple is showing plenty of promise. Regardless, similar to other digital coins, its price has been experiencing some volatility, though nothing compared to what Bitcoin has been going through lately.

The future of Ripple depends entirely on the adoption of the platform by banks and that’s where the focus of the people behind Ripple inevitably needs to be. As more banks join the network, the price of XRP will probably skyrocket, driving more people to the coin and enticing banks to join the platform.

How to make money with Ripple

As we predicted, there is a good chance that Ripple price will increase over the time and there are several ways you could profit from that. There are two main choices: 1) to acquire Ripple coins and sell them later for profit 2) to trade Ripple, without actually owning through a broker.

How to buy Ripple

If you want to actually own Ripple coins you need first to open a Ripple wallet. The safest option is having a hardware wallet like Ledger. If you don’t want to spend 70 euros on that you can always use a desktop wallet. Another option is to use a web wallet which is less secure but the fastest way to use and store your Ripple coins. Our favorite is GateHub.

Now that you have a ripple wallet you need to buy some Ripple using an exchanger. There are several crypto-currency exchangers that can sell you, Ripple for Bitcoin, Ethereum or plain old Cash. Just to name a few: Bittrex, Kraken, Changelly.

After you get your Ripple, make sure you store it safely and watch the price evolution and sell it for cash or another cryptocurrency when you’re happy with the profit.

How to trade Ripple

If you don’t want to actually own Ripple coins you can still make money from its price evolution by trading it using a broker like eToro or Plus500. You need to open an account with a broker, fund it and then purchase Ripple and sell the position when you’re comfortable with your return. Our favorite broker is eToro.com

I want to buy some Ripple but finding a reliable exchange with good reviews and is "actually" accepting new users lol is not easy.

Been using this site ( https://www.cryptocompare.com/ ) to compare exchanges, most have bad forum reviews :(

So frustrating. I use Coinbase currently for BTC. I just wish they would pickup Ripple!

MrD · January 5, 2018

Totally agree with ya @ezcashbiz. Most of the exchanges are facing now problems and if you read reviews you'll find a lot of negativity of each one however you know that people mostly write when they have to complain and when everything goes well they don't say anything. Its human nature lol.

This being said, I use ShapeShift.io to do my exchanges from and to Ripple. The only downside is that they're doing only crypto to crypto exchange not bank to crypto or vice versa. That's why you have to use an exchanger like CoinBase to get some bitcoin or bitcoin cash and then move it to Ripple.

Let me know if you need help with that.

At this point I actually prefer this, since the less places that have my bank account info the better ;)

So Binance finally opened up new user registrations again and I was able to get in!

Used my Coinbase account to send ETH over to my Binance account which I then used to buy 101 XRP :)

MrD · January 18, 2018

@ezcashbiz I was finally able to register today. I think I'm your referral now :)

Yaros · February 26, 2018

Guys, I'm just thinking of buying some tokens. What do you think, what perspectives does this project have in the nearest future?

**⭐ ezcashbiz** · March 10, 2018

Ripple is emerging from the pack of cryptocurrencies as one of the most likely to make a big impact in the financial services sector. Major companies are partnering with Ripple on payments projects to use its platforms. If these prove fruitful Ripple’s blockchain technology will take a step closer to becoming anindustry standard.

Saudi Arabia’s central bank announced on February 14 that it was partnering with Ripple on a payments ledger. The system enables local banks to deploy Ripple’s xCurrent for cross-border payments and will save up to $400 million per year, according to Moody’s Investor Services.

It’s not the first central bank Ripple have cooperated with. The Bank of England (BoE) successfully completed a proof of concept eight months ago to synchronise a payment between two central bank systems. It was part of the BoE’s exploration of solutions on how to update their payments systems.

More details: Is Ripple the best cryptocurrency to invest in?

There are several cryptocurrencies in forex industry. Few days ago people knew only Bitcoin. But now there are some other cryptocurrencies as well which are getting more and more popular. Ripple is one of them. Whatever the cryptocurrency you are choosing trading platform is a big fact. TradesFX is my trading platform. From this MT4 trading platform I am getting 100% guaranteed security as well as Bitcoin, Litecoin, Ethereum, Ripple etc. cryptocurrency investment facility.

I have bought some ripple on January 2018 and now they fall. What must i do?

June 7, 2018

I started investing in cryptocurrencies 2 years ago, I have been through the ups and downs, and I know which cryptocurrency is good or bad. Nevertheless, it's not that easy to know for sure. That's why I learn predictions from time to time, just like this one https://www.crosslytics.com/c/ripple/predictions/

Zokhan · June 13, 2018

Ripple is the second best cryptocurrency for me. I have good amount of investments in it as it is giving the best competition to the king of crypto world "BTC". If you are willing to invest in Altcoins then ripple is the best and wise choice. Thanks!

Crypto currencies are becoming popular as potential investment fields at the present time. Ripple; Bit-coin; Etherum; Lite-coin; Zcash; Dash; etc. are various crypto currencies that are attracting the interest of the people as these crypto currencies are now achieving the confidence of traders. Ripple is one of the mostly traded programmed coins at the present days. Along with various crypto currencies Ripple is achieving the trust of people now a day.

Thank you for your post! Very informative and grounded. I liked it :) Well, personally I would like to buy Ripple as my first cryptocurrency. Not only because Bitcoin is too expensive and volatile (but, actually, that's truth). For me ripple looks more reliable, secure and fast.
