Thinking about this nice discussion here are my thoughts about this matter. In a scenario where Ripple has no substantial amount of XRP they would not be in the drivers seat. They would just be a tech company with good ideas, and they would be less of a threat they seem to be right now to the competition. They might have been out of business already. I would like to believe they are "nice folks" doing good things to protect their treasure, changing the flow of money, and this helps XRP holders in the long run to gain some profit. I am aware of the rist to loose the investment. Considering the amount of attention they are getting it could all work out very well ;-)

I get your point, no need to get to exited ;-) But the thing is when every coin goes up and XRP stays behind it makes me wonder why that is.

In the mean time, XRP is one of the worst performing coins over the last 7 days.... ;-|

I would be ok with XRP hitting $ 30 in 10 years ;-). ...happy even!!

In Europe banks are struggling with low interest rates, so money does not come for free when they lend to (just an example) house buyers. I'd say they are very eager to save costs on transactions if this contributes to their overall profit. When it comes to profit or not....things could go rather quick I guess ;-)

I have heard from a trustfull source on Youtube that Obi-Wan Kenobi is stepping in from outer space, he actually seems to be Satoshi.... The plan is striking a deal with some Ferengi, but they play hard by the rule of acquisition. Isn't that odd? We'll see. how it turns out, you never know with those folks.

haha, hitting .28 would be a incredible bull-run ;-)

I can only speak for myself. I'm very, very disappointed about the current value of XRP and at times I wish never to have bought that ***peep***. I have never let someone like HODOR be pointing me towards buying more coins. It was fun to read his blog and HODOR did put in a lot of work making his blog more serious that most of the crap on the interweb. That's my personal opinion. I still think that Ripple is on track, building a new future for pushing money over the globe. In the end they might be successful...but they may also fail. Mass adoption of some other coin with similar purpose is possible but I think it would be very hard to get started and get the right organisations on board. In that perspective Ripple has a nice advantage. If the price drops much further I'll might buy some more XRP and bring my average price a bit down. Selling is not an option anymore. Remember never to put more money in than you can miss because at the end it is all just a very big gamble ;-) E.

Would be great, but when is the moment to buy some more? It looks like going down some more...

Less competition is better! Maybe the Visa's from this world are now within reach of Ripple. Wouldn't that be great?

Nice blog Hodor! I wonder what happened to https://koinfollow.com where we could track popularity of coins on social media. Keep up the good work!

What happened to Koinfollow? Is it no longer active?

I was thinking in the direction of intrest in direct XRP. If you have 100 XRP in your wallet for 12 months you get 2 XRP. There must be lot's of smart guys who can check the balance of a wallet... Cheers!

Intrest on savings are zero at this moment (at least where I live). Lack of intrest is a huge problem for both private investors and institutional investors. In my country the pension funds are having a hard time to keep their funds steady and healthy according to the nations laws. What if Ripple started providing intrest to every wallet. Maybe 2% intrest per year? This can be funded out of escrow. The escrow is about 50 billion a this moment? If every wallet would get 2% per year it would cost them less then 1 billion XRP per year. If they did that for 5 years or so it would be very cheap for Ripple, and maybe they would have more happy XRP hodlers and even attract institutions. ....but what do I know....It's not my expertise bud I'd like the idea of a even little profit ;-)
