Why would ODL, which hasn't been live for even a year yet, correct 10 years of mistakes? Western Union revenue for the quarter ending March 31, 2020 was $1.190B, a 10.99% decline year-over-year. Western Union revenue for the twelve months ending March 31, 2020 was $5.145B, a 7.09% decline year-over-year. Western Union annual revenue for 2019 was $5.292B, a 5.33% decline from 2018. Western Union annual revenue for 2018 was $5.59B, a 1.19% increase from 2017. Western Union annual revenue for 2017 was $5.524B, a 1.87% increase from 2016. saying they've been profitable is a little bit of a reach at the given moment,

Amen "Now I'm starting to question whether ODL\XRP utility plays any part in this tokens price movement." The ODL volume is simply to low to have any significant effect on price, or thats what i keep telling myself. If and when ODL volume gets ramped up, and the price isn't reflected upon that, then I'd be worried for sure. Until then we wait.

This is no guarantee, as you finished with Yes we will see, eventually. Listen I'm long XRP and have the a sizable position (-56%, which is fun) but having the mindset that as soon as regulation hits, and regulation (which could work against us if its deemed a security) is the floodgate that moons XRP is not reality. FI's that want to hold XRP but "can't" because it's "illegal" can do so thru other means, 3rd parties etc. If a sizable and well respected FI wants a pool of XRP, they have it already or by whatever means necessary. No doubt. I love what Ripple is doing (except for Xpring, crazy amount of $ being thrown at projects with awful business models) and the problem there solving, but after being a HOLDER for years, I've somewhat found the difference between "moon" and "reality" We all want the same thing in the end, but as discussed thru out the crypto community, there isn't a more speculative investment out there. And if you invest in the the most speculative market thinking regulation is the golden ticket that lands us on the moon is optimistic to say the least. I'll never sell till i hit my target because there is to much upside, and the money I invested I consider gone. There are just way to many variables in play to know whats gonna happen. So I'm not saying your wrong, just don't think once regulation comes were in the clear because we've heard that song and dance before like the SBI exchange, Bakkt, Halvening and the list goes on for events that were suppose to "moon" us. Cheers.

we hope, that's why were all here. but again 2 years ago someone said this same exact quote on this forum and here we are, 2 years later. I don't mind waiting years, i know what i signed up for when i made this investment. Care to share what "big players" will be using this coin in 2 years?

If this was Warren Buffett or someone on that level, then yes you have an argument. But no, we have Peter Johnson so lets start a thread and say Ripple is gaining traction fantastic

yes, the price of XRP went bananas right after because utility

what? how does some dude named Peter Johnson speaking on a podcast equate to Ripple "getting traction" Maybe this podcast starts the bull market, who knows

wen BAKKT? big $ doesn't wait for "regulation" or permission to enter the market, we both know this

if i had to guess, probably cause the price is -93% since the ATH

working now thanks! link not working just as a heads up, maybe its just me @LeonidasH

interesting thread in regards to Accenture

this point stuck out to me and sounds like you over invested. To be honest, I am too over invested while being roughly -50% in the red approaching 2 yrs now. ODL just turned 1yrs old. We now have 4 corridors open (more to follow) and actual real world usage. 300 partners and climbing, 24 of which utilize ODL. No chance I'm selling now just as the ball begins to snowball. Wish you the best with whatever decision you make but unfortunately in this wild wild west market, fundamentals don't always reflect price. For me all doubt is gone, this is a commercial grade product gaining traction by the week. Be patient and you will be rewarded.

noticed that as well, its been corrected

How can they be waiting on regulatory clarification but have the asset listed? Seems to me its one way or the other.

Would of been cool if Ripple contributed to the 9/11 fund for first responders which was lacking funding till recently , especially on 9/11. Thank god Jon Stewart shamed those politicians into FINALLY doing the right thing.
