I thought I’d start a thread to look at Crypto that has real commercial linkage/use and also share experience i’ve had and contrast with the Privacy Crypto space. In terms of my main investments. XRP: got on the bandwagon early days before the Christmas 2017 rise. Rose nicely made a lot of gains in a short time, and then increased holding on the way down, though about 50% from peak valuation. But can see the real future with Ripple. AMl BTC: very unsure about this. Very official looking, and now supposedly doing a token swap, but fraud charges brought against founders. CHSB

Done.

Just had this scam sent to me (see image). The subtler part to this was the URL used on the blog link/more info button, not your typical garbage URL, but this: SCAM https://ripplȩ.com/insights/ SCAM Looks authentic, particularly as the Polish ogonek (small tail) on the ȩ doesn't render in browser well. It even had a cloud flare/DDOS type redirect. I think Ripple need to get this taken down.

I did have the offering paper. The trouble was that the value of the offering was 90% based on the value of the Escrow XRP. In many ways it was easier just to buy more XRP.

I just love holding my XRP. I traded out at close to the ATH having originally bought in at $0.06, so some good profit. I then traded the down curve and increased my XRP holding before I locked back in at $1. So whilst down 75% from my peak holding, I'm still nicely up. Also XRP is faster than any other currency I know.

I think the dusting attacks in BTC are meant to pull info together about more than one wallet addresses with a view to identifying large holders. I did notice a couple of my XRP accounts had been dusted in the last week. But as these are HODL accounts, I doubt they'd get much beneficial info.

I'm packing gold and XRP. I ought to think them, gold backed XRP. That would be world at least $1 per XRP right now.

It did, and I sold the ones I bought for $3! Not making the same error with XRP!

I'm just listening to the speech live. I think he is talking a XRP. He says Libre is going to be regulated to death and must protect privacy - which Facebook can't do.

Did this get missed https://www.google.com/amp/s/amp.ft.com/content/d0c3079a-91c5-11e9-aea1-2b1d33ac3271

I think XRP can get to the magic $589, but it will need wider use and adoption as a currency. Whilst there are BTC cashpoints etc, I don’t think BTC really cuts it, and increasingly the Lightning Network is seen as a massive failure. Eventually BTC will erode, even the current pick up in the BTC price is fake as mainly driven off fake USDT. XRP is ready to fill the gap and in practical terms works much more effectively.

Yes, to be honest Tether shouldn’t set the BTC or XRP price, it should just be real Dollars doing that. Totally conceivable for Tether to decouple from the Dollar. A bigger worry for me is this sort of stuff: https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2019-05-08/crypto-exchange-giant-binance-reports-a-hack-of-7-000-bitcoin Really if you can keep crypto off the exchanges whilst not trading, then that is a good thing.

Well XRP appears in my Coinbase wallet now, but I don’t think I can exchange it or trade it. So I guess CB is just a wallet company.

All my XRP is on my Ledger Nano or Toast Wallet.

And higher!!!
