Where did it hit those prices..?

I think they mean dollars but i didn't see 2.60.

2.25 certainly but not that high.

Still has a long way to go to get too the 3.80 it was at a few weeks ago but I believe it will massively skyrocket over the year brad keeps generating these partnerships.

I predict at least 17 dollars by the end of the year

Not a chance. Just look at their circulating supply and their ability to produce an almost infinite supply of tokens. I'll be surprised if it even gets to $5.

I got out of XRP ages ago, about 3 days. However I still follow the news related to it and don't rule out buying back into it in future. This time yesterday was ideally the dip to buy though.

There's still plenty of life left in this project which as a company is still in its infancy and on the up.

lifeandtimes

On advice I got, there's a crypto trader I talk with in the US who has an extensive portfolio and last year he predicted XRP to reach 17/c by the end of last year and it did and more. He predicts 17 dollars by the end of the year. He bases it off Bradleys constant work to try and bring xrp the main stream by partnering with as many companies he can, the commumity that follow xrp and loads more etc.

So what you're saying is he thinks it'll go up and he plucked a number out of the air.

Does he like 1's and 7's.

You realise what market cap that would have and how exponentially the rest o the crypto world would have to rise in order for XRP to reach $17.

Yeah, it may not be likely but it's possible one way or another. Who knows, brad might release masternodes as a nuclear option and send the price up.

I'm just relaying the information I got from my talks with him. Do what you will with it but this the discussion forum for ripple so I thought I throw my info in

TheSheriff

You've said it yourself -'guess work'

Some random guy in the US declaring it'll hit $17 means absolutely nothing. It's trying to generate hype. It's as good as the 40k people in the ripple telgram group who are now screaming 'moneygram means $20 by tonight'. God, someone just wrote in it '$50 by end of jan'.

It's all total guesswork and luck. You win some one day and you lose the next. While ripple is one of the more promising cryptos it's price is more driven by surrounding media attention rather than demonstrated functionality at this point.

Skippy21

I bought when it was $2.50😩 I know I'm meant to hold on and have faith... But reports are very mixed. Hoping it goes back up to get back wat I put in..

Cryptonovice

Hey folks,

Bought some ripple recently and hope to hold long term. My question is if I hold this long term and do not cash out for say 4 years, do I still need to send in tax returns/info to Revenue in the years between? I understand its 33% CGT at cash out but I seen an article earlier that said I need to provide them with info every year? Hope its not so. To be honest I haven't a clue. Could someone please give me their thoughts on this. Thanks Alot.

There's a tax thread started that's pretty much moot. No one can say for certain what way the tax will work so the general conesensus is keep a record of every transaction. Better to have it and no need than to need it and not have it but if you aren't actually withdrawing it to fiat, I don't think you need to notify revenue until then

TheSheriff

We've kind of hit back to the level we were at now yesterday with XRP. Is this the coins real support value?

Wonder if these announcements from Brad will come more rapidly now.

That was common knowledge, though. As a matter of fact, it was in the sub-headline on the WSJ:

MoneyGram Signs Deal to Work With Currency Startup Ripple
Money-transfer company will run a pilot program testing XRP, a digital currency

Anybody who read the article knew it was something they were just testing rather than blindly adding to their services.

That's been shown to be incorrect multiple times on multiple threads. Please stop posting incorrect information.

Cgt is due anytime you sell a crypto currency, irrespective of what you sell it for.
XRP, USD, EUR, XVG, etc!

He's not predicting, he's making a guess

Traders generally make (or lose) money along with hundreds/thousands of other traders by following the same general patterns as them


The market could be 10x bigger this time next year, it could be 10x smaller

If it's not recognised as currency by government how is it due CGT? I might as well be swapping beanie babies for stamps according to the official line on cryptos, so are they talking out of both sides of their mouths here or what? Genuine question.

But is his beanie babies and stamps analogy still correct?

GreeBo wrote: »

If it's regarded as valueless (technically, in a monetary sense) by the government then it doesnt become an asset until it's exchanged for fiat currency, no?

And paying CGT per transaction is surely paying tax on the same batch of fiat currency repeatedly, no?

I genuinely believe that as it stands now cryptos are no different to any other "collectable" in that there is no inherent value assigned to it officially other than that actually realised in a money-exchanging transaction.

I freely admit I have no idea what I'm talking about though.

Gotta be honest i am a fan of ripple and any article ive read never stated that it was a project funded by ripple.
Im not saying ripple hasnt got legs but i do believe the announcement with moneygram was a marketing strategy.
Every opportunity to say they funded a test case but failed to do so

Does anyone see any end to the recent slump. Are we likely to see further decline or is there anything positive in the pipeline truth or rumour that may drive this up. Recent news doesn't instill confidence but what confidence can you ever have in crypto.

Still holding a small amount of Ripple, currently in the Red tough, if it keeps dropping I am not sure what to do. Might have to take a loss and bow out.

Edit: Come one Brad, send a few tweets!

I'm the opposite, sold out of Ripple for a tidy profit and am setting buy orders now to get back in albeit on a smaller scale than my previois holdings.
Ripple has been very good to me and I'm hoping for more to come.

Smart move,

I am glad I reduced my holding by about 80% at ~2e. Bought in at 0.40-0.50c so made some money.

I left some in as I didnt think it would go this low to be honest, I'll probably buy more on the down tick.

How low do you think it will go?

I juat had a buy triggered at €1.35 and have a 2nd order set for €1.10.
I dont know if the 2nd order will trigger but all it takes is 1 large sell to momentarily ahift the sell curve in my favour and I might get lucky.

I originally bought into Ripple at €.20 as a long term hold with a target price of €1.80.
It blasted thru that a lot sooner than I expected, so I sold out.
I do see that price as a long term target again tho.
It really is dependant on the coin entering use, rather than just the ripple network.

Below €1 now . Big decisions to be made boys. Has this run its course ??????

Not sure what is happening, but had some orders on kraken in the range of 0.8 to 1 € and they went through while price was above 1.15. Might help someone

Cheers for the heads up .

Ripple was in free fall , managed to sell @ €1.20 and buy back in @ €0.96c within the hour. First time I can remember a quick sell and then a quick buy has worked positively for me . Back up at €1.08 at the moment ( at the moment I say gingerly !) . Huge drops across all coins. Is it all worth it ..........

Back up to €1.20 . Wonder what the US and Asian markets will make of all of this . Will these Wall Street bonuses lead to anything short term ?

I'd take it with a pinch of salt, most of Reddit these days is posts on 'This is why X coin will reach Y price in 2018' or ' This is why X coin is low at the moment'. Most of it is just conjecture, an attempt to calm people and stop them from selling.

That said, most coins are in the Red at the moment, so there should be some kind of sig. market upswing, but in the case of Ripple I think it would need something really significant from Brad & co. partnership wise to drive the price back to profitability for alot of people.

People who bought in around the ATH with this coin when there was an absolute enormous amount of hype pushing the price will really be feeling every cent dip at this point.

TheSheriff

Oh, an I bought some more last night before I went to sleep at ~1.29 ish.

Already down on that , but hoping for the long term there will be at least a 2x return.

I think the Ripple 10X returns are long gone at this point.

splashuum

In my opinion Ripple is only starting. It hasn't even been utilized yet and Brad Garlinghouse (CEO) has stated he is working with at least 3 major companies. I think if and when XRP gets used by financial institutions the price will soar again.

I bought in very cheap a loooong time ago.. somewhere around the 30c mark, so I'm happily still in the black on it.. but regret not jumping now as it doesn't seem like it'll ever reach the highs of December,

millhouse

Both Bitcoin , Ethereum and even Litecoin took large steps forward and then regressed only to grow again and reach ATH . The hardest thing to do in these circumstances is to sit tight for a period of time . More money is lost by " amateur investors" (I include myself in this) when we try to sell when the dips occur and then buy back in , we never seem to get back to the same overall position.

Ripple has followed trend with them , stagnant for a long while followed by huge progression followed by regression and the next step hopefully will be steady increases. There may be some further short term pain , hopefully not too much but the question is whether we can afford to ride it out , everyone's buy price and circumstances are unique but our end goal I think is the same.

If we go back a 13 days (just 13 days) , the world was rosy , ripple was about to take over the world and we all had nothing but positive opinions as what Ripple could ultimately be and prices it could reach . Numbers such as $5 , $10 or $50 being branded about the place as being achievable . Has all our opinions been swayed so much in such a short time or were these ever our opinions in the first place, are we all simply winging it pretending we know what is going on ???
The same cycle has occurred now with ripple as has done with other well known cryptos and they have survived and made lots of profits . Similar trends and cycles seems to be the thing with cryptocurrency over the past 6 months.
Take from this whatever you want , whatever gives you comfort or guidance . This most certainly is not financial advice , its mere observation

Don't panic, only invest what you can afford to lose.

€0.95 now on kraken. **Shudder**

Ripple will drop to between $0.6-$0.8 in the next day or two, mark my words.
