- great question! You know, I was thinking about doing some research on that. Wouldn't be too hard tbh - Stellar.org did the first tier giveaway already. Not sure what happened to the price, but we could easily look.
Honestly, I don't want to look into it too much - though I should because I'm holding 15k at 2x the current price...my theory is that big hitting whales will come in and buy XRP prior to the June 27th STR giveaway, get free STR and probably pumping and dumping all in the process. I've also read that STR and/or XRP is the fastest transaction. Also have been seeing a lot of great media around both orgs.
Market manipulators would love this set up. They are only giving away 1% (1 billion STR) to XRP holders and 19% (19 billion STR) to BTC holders. If you look at the prices, and I haven't totally done the math, but seem like a bigger potential return playing with daily returns on the volatility of STR/XRP and the gamble of whales creating some waves. What do you think? Always curious for insight!
