1. XRP is faster, cheaper and more scalable than any other digital asset. This will matter more and more as more sophisticated investors get into this.
2.XRP is the only digital asset with over 100 banking relationships and more being announced
3.SBI owns a portion of Ripple and controls many banks. SBI's CEO tweeted that he is "all in" with XRP
4.Ripple is one of four digital currency companies that have more venture capital backing than any other company in the space(and these VCs aren't stupid)
5.XRP has attained the number 2 spot and remains in the top three digital currencies without even being on Coinbase. Both Bitcoin and Ethereum have been there for quite some time.(And anyone that tells you that XRP won't be added is also a fool. Money talks and Coinbase has a profit motive)
6. Ripple is still about to announce at least two more payment company deals(Likely Western Union) and those are just the ones we know about
7. Ripple has more experienced and connected talent in their company, their leadership and their board than any digital currency in the world. By a long shot.(This includes past advisors to Presidents of the United States)
8.Ripple did the smart thing from the start by aligning itself with the governments of the world as a company that wanted to work with the banking system to improve the world.(I realize this one is going to make some bitcoiners mad but it's time to grow up. The government is not going anywhere. Work with them and play by the rules or you will be watching ripple millionaires from your wondering what could have been.)
9.XRP is cheap right now. This is important because investors do like the idea of being able to buy more. Although we all know that the core reason for the low price is the supply of coins, many investors will never get that far in their analysis. XRP will pass $5 this year and never look back and a large part of the money will be retail investors that just like the idea of buying a cheaper coin and say to themselves "If Bitcoin went to $16,000 why can't XRP?" We know that is ridiculous due to supply but average joe investor will buy with this mindset.
10. This one applies to XRP but also across all digital currencies this year(2018) that have actual Utility and smart people behind them. Here is a short list of all of the great things, most of which will happen in 2018 for the digital currency investment space:
-This is NOT a bubble. If you hear this someone is either jealous or wants the price to go down so they can buy in. At the height of the internet bubble there was around 9 Trillion dollars in the space and that was in 2000. The current value of all money in all digital currencies is 700 Billion dollars. WE ARE WAY WAY OUT FROM HAVING A BUBBLE.(Eventually we will get to a bubble but not now)
-The investment media is already calling Digital Currencies a "New Asset Class". This is HUGE. Asset Classes include things such as stocks, bonds, precious metals, etc. Every financial advisor in this country advises their clients to invest their money across asset classes. Just imagine every financial advisor in this country recommending that their client have say 1-2% of their savings in digital currencies. HUGE. This will also bring hundreds of Digital Currency Exchange Traded Funds, Mutual Funds, Hedge Funds.
-Traditional Brokers have not even gotten in the game yet. Goldman Sachs just announced the opening of a digital currency desk in spring of 2018. All of the other firms will follow. You will be able to buy Ripple in your Etrade account by the end of this year.
-The big institutional money is coming too. The First XRP hedge fund was just started. Many more coming.
TO SUMMARIZE....YOU ARE A COMPLETE MORON IF YOU DON'T BUY AND HODL XRP. WE WILL HIT THE MOON THIS YEAR AND IT WILL BE A NUMBER YOU COULDN'T HAVE IMAGINED!
