I'm new to Veeky Forums, in fact this weekend I've been doing nothing but lurking and reading
After extensively searching through posts I've concluded that there are maybe 4 or 5 safe coins, and all the rest are risky, memeworthy coins that solve problems no one has.
The only coin I'm on the fence about investing in is Ripple. Is this a shitty pump and dumb meme coin or will its value slowly climb in the coming years?
It's going on Coinbase. Literally buy now while it's under a dollar and don't look at for a year.
Leo Perez
bro you could of invested in ripple at 18cents 3 months ago please think with your ada and choose a better option right now
Jordan Campbell
Coinbase already said it doesn't meet it's criteria.. stop spreading this shit rumor... It's a good enough buy without false narratives.
Alexander Bailey
It will steadily climb over the years. It was never, and will never be a "to the moon" coin. It is made for holding for a long term.
Get in right now. January will, allegedly, be a good month for Ripple. New partnerships announcement is imminent. And then the Coinbase rumors point to January as well.
This is a "bank" coin. Banks don't fuck around when it comes to getting goy money. Ripple is going places.
Anthony Turner
Coinbase is under NDA,
Bentley Collins
Dude, check this and just buy what they tell you to. They haven't been wrong yet on 5 coins this week it's insane- look through their past signals
I wasn't here 3 months ago, the utility is much higher than traditional coins and it's already adopted by eastern banks who have a strong vested interest in seeing it succeed and who want to spread its influence.
Now, as a complete greenhorn in buying crypto I've set about this method to purchasing.
1) transfer USD to GDAX 2) convert to Etherium 3) Transfer majoritiy of etherium to Binance 4) convert binance etherium to Ripple 5) Create private paper wallet (running ubuntu off disc while disconnected from ethernet) 6) Transfer Ripple to paper wallet 7) Wait and watch it slowly climb over the weeks
Is this the best method for doing it, while incurring the fewest fees?

>doesn't meet it's criteria
You should also realize that Coinbase's "criteria" is not written in stone. It's more of a guideline. And while they will never deviate too far from it, they are free to make small exceptions.
4th most moved coin = a LOT of fee revenue to pocket. Nobody would say "no" to this. Nobody.

Last chance to buy it at $1, don't miss it.
In 5 years it will worth as much as BTC nowadays.

fuck off faggot
David Flores
But others coins don't have supports of banks or gouvs at the same scale.
Jace Gray
He is correct, but ever since then Ripple guys have been working with Coinbase, and making the necessary adjustments, such as 55BIL being locked up in escrow, and making (at least partial) decentralization one of their top priorities for 2018.
Jaxson Flores
>doesn't meet it's criteria It's not mineable
Kayden Foster
to be on coinbase a coin needs to be minable
Camden Reed
Bitcoin cash went on coinbase and now no one holds it anymore
Joshua Gonzalez

Wyatt Robinson
im drunk and bought 598 more get at me nigers. mery chjristmas buy more if you dnt want to be a fuckn loser 4 the rest of your life. I have 4.5k
Juan Campbell
why didn't you buy at .006c like 90% of the people who have XRP
David Mitchell
So they should remove ETH, PoS soon.
Blake Kelly
eh? ETH is mineable
Adrian Cruz
their next list will most likely be XMR
Tyler Diaz
Right now yes, but in some month not anymore.
Joseph Ramirez
i bought originally at .56 its okay. Its still okay but not great. Just re-bought in for last time
Luis Sanders
XMR will be announced at the same time than XRP
Ryan Collins
>XRP i just told you XRP is NOT mineable and doesn't meet their criteria
Blake James
Why does Coinbase care if a coin is mineable (hint: they don't, they just care about skimming profit off each transaction)
>XRP ICX REQ XVG I've got 5 hunna, where should I all in? I feel like its too late for ICX
Camden Anderson
Ive had about 100k-USD left on exchanges just fine.
If you want to be super secure, you're probably okay. Although I personally prefer buying LTC to move to my exchange rather than ETH.
Jacob Cruz
Any reason why? I did my first transaction with ETH to XRP and it seemed fine. It was fast and my fee was like $8USD
Nathan Torres
What is this guy trying to say? XRP mcap will be huge or its never going to increase?
Brody Moore
goes up and down every day from around 0.60c to 0.90c guy is talking out his ass. thats a 40%+ swing every day.
Christian Green
Ripple has so many coins that if it went from < 1 to $5, it would be worth more than much more establisbed, profitable companies
Adam Diaz
a little XRP is eaten every time it is used he is saying the price will go up even if the mcap stays the same
Caleb Robinson
No it fucken doesn't.. it sat at 75-70c for a couple weeks after recent moon. It then went up to 1.35 and has hovered around high 90's low $1's since then.
At no point did XRP swing from 60c to 90c consistently. It crossed that gap and hasn't gone back past high 80c since then.
Jonathan Ramirez
ETH can incur some pretty big fees or major slowdown depending on the amount of transaction volume and gas price.

This was designed to be a One. Dollar. Coin. Carry on.

Caleb Myers
out of those I'd say XRP long hold or XVG if it can dip a bit more.
William Foster
XRB Just look at it's marketcap despite only being listed on small exchanges.
Will be listed on kucoin and bit-z soon, probably big exchanges in the next two months.
Jackson Perry
Does Twitter turn a profit? What about Netflix? And Amazon?
Jason Evans
Don't listen MacAfee or you gonna go to jail.
XVG is traceable even with wrath protocol.
Isaiah Reed
Amazon works for years now with Coinbase to add Bitcoin payment.
if you are reaching your 40's and you got plenty of fiat at the bank and you don't know what exactly do with it ... this may be a really good investment. start building you own retirement fund by buying deflationary coins ... it might actually work and you know the good ol banks are getting your money anyway ...
Kayden Bailey
It's never going to be "decentralized" like BTC or the others, and that's the point. They only need major, trusted institutions running validator nodes. That way there's no need for the wasteful computation you see on other coins, and the network isn't vulnerable to hostile takeover.
Brayden Jones
Yes, it doesn't waste enormous amounts of electricity for no reason.
William Lewis
Market cap is a pointless metric when it comes to crypto.
Jacob Cox
> he didn't read the white paper
Stop FUD, only Ripple the Network is centralized, not XRP the currency.
Aaron Russell
False. Ripple's head cryptographer has publicly stated that they want XRP to be as valuable as possible. They've already mentioned several numbers higher than $1. Until just a month ago, FUDders were groaning about how it would never reach $1, or would only get there in 2020.

Jacob Green
Ripple is an unironically safe bet. Look at coin market caps "bitcoin dominance" history. Ripple rises to as high as 20 percent of the market cap at times. This is a good time to hold this jew coin since if it goes back up to 15 percent market cap it's going to be worth hella $$$
Bentley Bailey
I've not only read the whitepaper, I've written my own command-line API for interacting with rippled servers. gg try again
Nathaniel Flores
Ripple is getting me a lambo next year.
John Campbell
I would say XLM has more potentional but in econmic terms, you're dealing with an Apple and Android company
Ripple is 40 billion now and in 5 years might be 500billion so it depends how long and how risky you want your investment to be
They aren't shares retardbro. Buying every xrp wouldn't mean you own the company, they're a currency not a share.
Samuel Thomas
Fuck cripple. It goes against everthing crypto is about. But you also sound like a normie faggot so maybe you would feel more at home at
Andrew Long
>xvg >solid Yes XVG has a shill army that reeks of patchouli and bong water but it's literally dodge coin dark and it's not a true privacy coin. Routing thru Tor doesn't make your coin special. XVG was good if you got in when it was cheap and the shills ans brainlets will likely keep it afloat for a while longer but eventually people will realize it's got shitty tech behind it and doesn't deliver on it's promises of privacy or anonymity
Kevin Campbell

Nicholas Morales
Well if ripple literally gets all the major banks and XLM gets literally everything else in between... I would say Ripple is Apple
I believe Stellar has more market potential though as it identical to how PayPal changed the world. And we don't really know how deep blockchain technology can go (these companies haven't even made over 100million $ in their lifetime)
Plus, Stellar is like Ripple 2.0 with ICO's and a small replica of 'smart contracts'
Its a bright future for all of them, but you have to think about what the people will adopt more
Charles Morgan
the ripple organization can arbitrarily create more ripple whenever it wants, it's no different than fiat
for that reason it won't go much higher
Dylan Garcia
Do you have to use coinbase for the conversion or can you use anything else?
Xavier Howard
coinbase accepts CC and Debit and grants transactions instantly
Both coinbase and GDX can withdraw USD from your bank account, but in that case you'd wanna use GDX since the fees are far less. In general you'd wanna use GDX via your bank, but it'll take a bit of time.
There are other sources but you may as well just go with coinbase for converting USD to crypto especially if you're using them to jump into binance or another service..
Logan Bennett
To clarify, I'm an ausfag without a bank account I've been thinking of buying bitcoin, converting it to ETH and then ripple Is there anyway to do this without using a bank account and with the least fees? Thank you and excuse me for my newfaggotry
Tyler Fisher
source?
Carter Lee
no it can't there's 100 billion XRP, and that's hardcoded into the protocol
