That's when you buy as much as you can.

The market will swing back up and you'll make a tasty profit the next time brad tweets about a partnership

Any analysis of that statement oh Great Oracle? Or have you just rocked into the crypto forum for the first time ever with a baseless one liner?

ETA I wouldn't be a bit surprised if it did go down to that but unless you have some reason to back up your very definitive statement I don't think you should just come in to a thread and spout off unsubstantiated guff without a notion of explaining it.

I been trading for the last two years and have my sources, do you have to have certain qualifications to post here?

No you don't, and no one has ever asked anyone for qualifications if they post, but it's a reasonable expectation that you should be able to back up a one line post promising ("mark my words") that a crypto will do this or that with a few facts and figures or maybe some news you've heard.

So go on then, what are your reasons for such confidence? Or are you just trying to look clever or spread a little FUD?

Ah c'mon now, the incredulousness in the thread is hard to believe. This is crypto. 50%+ drops shouldn't be a surprise.

Yeah, but I think the reality is most people who are here arent REALLY prepared to lose this money.

They got in after hearing about the huge rise of Bitcoin, and for a few days there over xmas Ripple looked like the next gravy train. Alot of people (including myself got onboard around the 50-80c mark, then another huge wave at the 1.50e mark).

IMO, I think if people are in the red already they may as well hold (unless its life changing money). If you got in at 0.25C tough I would sell, worst case keep an eye on the market overnight.

This is a repeat of the summer cycle last year. Horrible 40% drop. Support levels will probably drop to where they were around the first half of December - we'd risen too fast, surely?

We're back above $1.50

Could it take a run at $2 when the yanks wake up? I think it might go close.

There's a definite positive turn in all crypto in the last 24 hours.

Things just found a stable bottom so the jittery money is coming back in I would say. I can see there being another couple of wobbles in the coming days if a few reds appear but the worst of it is over I hope!

Ah, that seems positive then.

Kicking myself for not selling near the top. I'd have almost tripled my holding.

Perhaps you're in the wrong game.

Why did you buy in the first place?
Did you have a plan to hold long or simply double your money?

Because you probably did both if you didn't get emotional.

Do Ripple publicly disclose exactly how much XRP they themselves have spent each month (out of the escrow)?

Anyone got any positive news for us ripple fans. Hovering around €0.98c , if it can break through the €1 and $1.25 threshold we might see action. Brad needs to start tweeting. Crypto prices in general has been quiet over the past few days.

Hoping the ceo of a company makes a tweet to help increase the price of your coin is an awful way to invest. The whitepaper alone should be why you invested and "the tweets" thereafter are just part of the fun or watching it go up.

Hodl is a term that actually was put out for a reason. Have faith or don't invest in crypto

Rumpy Pumpy

Don’t think it’s any worse than believing that the value of these coins and the company behind them has any grounding in reality based on badly-written whitepapers, pump and dump scams, and blind hysteria.

You're a bit early. There was no crash today.

millhouse

Lifeandtimes: Get over yourself for crying out loud. The overwhelming majority of people on this thread and involved in crypto are here to make money . Fact. If you take comfort in believing your own hype about white papers and other such B.S. best of luck to you . I've said it before , would you give up the profits for the promised land of decentralization and getting one over on the establishment. I think we all know the answer .

The irony of someone who has been defending TRON specifying the quality of the Whitepaper as a factor in a buy decision is pretty laughable.

Re: Ripple what I agree with lifeandtimes with on this one is that it is a long termer.
It got swept up in a bit of mania over late December/Early Jan as lots of other coins did, but it is a usable tech with defined and expanding use cases.
Ideally the XRP tiken would be adopted by banks, which at the moment dowsnt seem likely. but as a means of rapid peer to peer payment it is a useful tiken.
I originally bought in at 0.20c with an aim of @1.80 long term, I sold out at near peak and I bought back in at 1.35 for my long term hold.
Still expect it to get back to 1.80 by mid year.

millhouse

Lifeandtimes: are you not the very person on another thread on this very site urging Brad to pop out a few tweets . Thats a bit Hypocryptocal !

hey folks,

Just wondering is anyone here on Binance. I have a coinbase account where I bought ETH and sent to Binance to swap for other coins like Ripple and others. What I am wondering is, is there anywhere I can get the euro value of the coin I bought on Binance at the time of the swap? Or would I just have to go somewhere like coinmarketcap to get the value of the coin on that particular day (averaged).
Thanks in advance

I've used both for a while now and I always try and track it myself in a spreadsheet. There's no real way. Couple of very handy apps for also keeping your portfolio and then the prices show in euro. Can't remember the one I used to have (deleted it cause I just kept watching it) but Google it. It's handy can select the exchange you want the euro price on. It was called coin blocks or something like that.

Is this what you mean. Scroll down to see a table of the different exchanges and their Euro price. If it is what you want you can import these tables into Excel using Power Query(Get and Transform)

Hi,

If you are after some regular news on whats going on at Ripple, I find their newsletter is quite informative. You can subscribe via their website.

As for the current XRP price

cointracking.info is excellent for the first 200 trades.

You can create multiple accounts and split your trades across them if you have more than 200.

Did anyone take advantage of the dip to reduce their average coin cost?
I sold out completely of my original holdings at near peak (was lucky enough to get in at 0.20c)
I started buying back in at 1.35 and made a couple of more buys at 65c and 52c to reduce my overall cost per coin to @87c.

I am hopeful of growth past this and indeed my original aim when buying was 1.85 by Dec 18.

Agreed.

Particularly when the decreases come just as quick and heavy

will56

Is it the Indian exchange news thats driving todays increase ?

XRP just hit $1 on Binance for the first time since the crash.

That's a great short-term return for any daytraders who got in at the 55-58c bottom just a few days ago.

Yeah I'd love to see a source for this. The Coinbase rumour was going around about lots of cryptos and the only reason XRP was favourite was because it was briefly 2nd in market cap. I think they will add more than one this year but as of now they're denying anything specific unless there's been recent news.
