Ripple landed as 5th in Marketcap on coinmarketcap.com today after a stellar ride upwards from $0.24/25 cents up to near kissing the $0.49 mark at 2800 Satoshis. The 80% rise was quite the experience for me as XRP Ripple is at this time 99% of my crypto. Why nearly all of my Crypto?
Ripple XRP is a coin with purpose. It has a function and use beyond many of the other speculative tokens out there parading as units of account and settlement of transaction. Ripple is being gobbled up by banks around the globe, adopted by major players and movers int he finance world at an alarming rate and yet the critics can only come up with, "iTs dUh baNkeRs cOin!". Really? Thats it?
Look, don't be me. Don't be the guy that dies on some ideological battlefield, proclaiming opposition to something merely out of misunderstanding and an entrenchment in luddite mentality. (my 9 years fighting BTC)
Look at it like this; block chain is here to stay, banks are here to stay, if banks are using a particular unit of account that is represented in block chain it will likely remain strong over time and remain on the scene when other less supported tokens/coins vanish with the wind (and your money). Ripple XRP is like concrete. Right now it is wet and finding its form and shape in the world. As time wears on, it will grow harder and more tested, likely solidifying a solid place in the world of international finance and banking.
All of these alt-coins are a gamble, and if a coin is tied to large financial institutions that utilized it for low cost, high speed movements of money - the risk is then minimized.
Day traders, of course took profits today, and hopefully they fail to get in at the next pump and live to regret the day they sold Ripple XRP at 47/48 cents. Ripple touched upon the $0.50 oh so close today and when that is breached, next mark is the dollar. This is a unit that will see $1.00 much sooner than Bitcoin will see $80,000.00. You want 200%? 300%? 400%? Grab some Ripple and buckle up.
