For those in the know, what has caused XRP to spike over the last 3 days?? And this is just going to keep going from here or will there be a price correction??
Cheers

There was some news. Announcement of trial with Japanese/Korean banks, and rumours of amazon/Uber partnerships and Coinbase listing (both purely rumours though) but that would be about it.

Price correction has come. Spent all morning 1.40-1.60 but sitting in the 1.20’s at the moment.

I still can't get over the size of the market cap...watched it grow from less then 100 Billion (6 months ago) to its current position - outstanding!!!

Anyone getting on Stellar and Cardano?

Anyone getting on Stellar and Cardano?

Had a small position in Stellar but traded into XRP at 0.34 thank **** hahaha.

Cardano I haven’t read about.

Funfair, TRON and Verge probably my next moves. Always on the lookout for a roughy startup though trading under a cent, something I can throw a few hundred into and forget about.

 

[jezzajay]

Yeah I'm onto Cardano...and Verge..
McAfee has been talking up Verge in a big way of late...he believes it should be in the top 10.

FunFair has caught my eye as well...as have many other coins. I'm waiting till Xmas and my February holiday are out the way before i go hard again. I'm sure i'll miss opportunities along the way, I just gotta be content with what I've accumulated thus far - it's not like they're all laying idle so no complaints.

Everything I'm in has moved up considerably over the last month or so

XRP dropping like a stone.

 

[KingNothing]

Went to bang on a dollar, but is now sitting at $1.12. Not quite the $1.70 we were fapping over earlier, but the price correction was to be expected. I was thinking around $1.20is where it would probably sit (just a feeling) so be interesting to see.

I wonder how much is panic sellers who jumped on board at the ATH expecting instant lambomoongainz who have decided to cut losses. A few big sales on BTC while it was around the 1.60, probably lucky campaigners who have been hodling for a while cashing out in style. And while I typed this it went to 1.23 hahah

XRP dropping like a stone.

All the alts are dropping, it's because BTC is going on another tear. I had a shit load of XRP a few months back but got rid of it all (FFS). ADA is worth getting on. I got on LTC the other day (about $200-1) before it's huge surge. Went up to nearly $400 per share and now back at $266, so have bought more.

For the ETN fans, to which I am not, it has popped up on coinmarketcap at #44.
It’s one to watch out for with all the hype around it.
If it’s going to make me money, I don’t care how scammy it is.

#41 now

Yeah I don't really care if you think it's a "scam". Fiat currency in its current implementation is a system of surveillance and control, a ponzi scheme and the biggest scam ever created. Please watch some lectures by Andreas Antonopoulos and try to actually learn something. I bought into electroneum during the ICO, I kept my excitement in check and invested accordingly. Now I'm kicking myself because I didn't get enough of it. You would not be calling electroneum a scam if you understood the vision behind it, and what Richard Ells (Electroneum founder) is trying to achieve. Electroneum launched just days ago, and they have already done more for the mainstream adoption of cryptocurrency than what Bitcoin has done in 8 years.

This website shows some of the businesses that are already accepting Electroneum payments: https://www.electroneumscout.com/
Remember, the product launched 2 days ago. This is only the very beginning.

Bitcoin looks ready to surge.

Still happy with XRP. Looks to have steadied for now but I'd be shocked if it didn't go above $2 at some point.

Hmm. Doesn’t full explain what “dealing in” means. If it means they aren’t allowed to even hold them, this could have an effect on XRP.

https://ripple.com/files/xrp_cost_model_paper.pdf

As sited in here (great read) “The bank would hold enough XRP on its balance sheet to handle its largest payment and could top up as needed from real-time exchanges”. They can obviously use the Ripple system sans XRP, but Ripple works best and saves you the most when used in conjunction with XRP.

So if Korean banks (who are currently trialing Ripple with the view to using it and XRP) aren’t allowed to hold XRP then that could limit XRP from reaching its best possible price.

I'm pulling my hair out ATM. Been waiting almost a week to start but verification is taking so ****ing long. I was going to drop some decent coin into XRP, LTC (after initial surge) and ETH... missed out on literally 10k easy probably more like 20k.

Should have hit me up. I'm highly unethical and would have invested for you.

That's painful mate...there is so much opportunity still to come with those coins and many more. Stay vigilant and patient.

This by the way. I feel your pain.

 

[Summer Nights]

And this is why prices will continue to surge for at least a month. There’s so much money waiting to get into the system. It literally cannot get in fast enough.

How's retirement?

I blindly threw about $3000 on it when it was around 5 cents because of your posts.

Cheers campaigner

When it was around 15 cents I was going to wait for it to fall back to single digits and put another $5000 in but it never fell back.

Unfortunately not nearly enough for retirement due to having to sell some off but I've banked six figures off it. Congrats on your profits!

Lucky campaigners!

Have your anuses felt the wrath of Capital Gains Taxes yet?

Living outside of Aus so I fall under the tax laws of Poland, who at least give it a courtesy spit before they screw you.
