Any thoughts?

A hero on the front lines.

Tough to answer. I watched $850k slowly dwindle to fractions since then. While i still have faith in the company and it's native currency, there still exists a strong possibility that a single piece of news could send us back to where i first bought in at. Hell, we still don't know who Satoshi is and he alone could tack on another few years of depression for the whole market. I know that no matter what happens I'll still be able to look back at 2017 as one hell of a positive year for me. ETH bought my first house and XRP helped my sister buy her own. 2017 will forever be remembered as the year where money was plentiful as your account would casually double or more every couple months so long as you diversified well enough. To answer the OPs question, if i had a time machine and used it right now then, yes, i would sell based on my future selfs fears. $850k would be more than enough to help my mom retire and i could've invested a small portion into stocks or something else. That being said, i didn't sell and have spent these bear months learning to trade and taking advantage of the pumps. It's just a bit more unpredictable compared to the 6 months of bouncing between $0.20 and $0.30, talk about accumulation when you KNOW it's going back to $0.20 from $0.30 lol.

Have we any updates on the current holdings of the 4 accounts?

https://xrpcharts.ripple.com/#/ I prefer to monitor total supply here (scroll down a little on main page). You can actually see XRP being destroyed every few seconds.

Very intereresting. For the past few days I've been getting the same feelings I had back in December when I went all in on XRP. Just this morning I sold everything for XRP again with the exception of my ETH holdings as it is also looking due for a juicy pump.

Has anyone else noticed the huge surge in rates on the exchange(s) they frequent? The one I use is relatively small ranging between 5k - 10k users online, fyi, but it's probably been close to 8 months now since I last saw XRP rates above 0.0001% as it was surpressed by various lenders with around 5m-10m XRP combined. Sometime last week, the lowest XRP loans available were nearly 1%! (Mine were taken around half that for a few days).To put that into perspective, a 4k XRP loan at 0.0100 for 2 days will earn between 1/1.5 XRP. The same suppression has existed with ETH where 5k-10k ETH has it kept at 0.0001 ever since I sold all mine last summer. Granted, I did not check every day but I've made a habit of always taking a peak at the short list of coins available to for lending. BTC rates, however have been greatly profitable and on a continuous basis for the past 7-8 months. I imagine the same is with STR during the same length of time (ranges between 0.0020% - 0.0100%) but everytime I get tempted to buy STR for lending purposes all I see is the man fish from start wars in my head (IT'S A TRAP!). Anyway, BTC rates have been halved to 0.0050 for going on 2 weeks now. Same time frame as the flip with XRP.

People can get their money out faster!

Well we were asking ourselves the same question of "why are they selling now?" since this past March and xrp was around $0.75 then. Shortly after, beginning of April, we crashed to $0.50 before spiking to nearly $1. I would be interested in knowing if whether or not these 4 big accounts rebought at $0.50 before selling again at $1 if that's possible to pinpoint.

Don't forget about coinmarketcap temporarily delisting Korean exchanges.

It's nowhere near XRP in terms of progress but GNT (Golem) was my second crypto love after Ethereum back when it was $11. I lost faith in Ethereum when it hit $400 and sold everything primarily because it's used as virtual gas. My thought was "who the f would use a platform where their "gas" is so damn expensive?". The endless limit on the amount of coins they can produce led me to believe they'll just create more eth to keep gas prices stable. I still believe ETH will be great so long as maintain a certain price point that encourages future developments, like GNT. Renting the idle power of your computer, while using it or not, to anyone in the world is just next level genius and ingenuity, like XRP. *edit* Also, that GNT/BTC chart looks sexy to me... There should be adult websites for people like me. Just fast-forward the charts timeline video to the good parts where the pressure build up forces the price to explode upwards, then, fast-forward again to the bottom after the fall to watch it all again... Ok, maybe i went too far with that. Sorry, rough night and I've been drinking. *end edit*

This makes sense to me. Perhaps other opportunities presented themselves, such as ETC taking off. Could also simply be to prop up BTC price but $5m seems insignificant where BTC manipulation is concerned.

Aww why'd you ruin it? Was just about to start role-playing as a female paladin so the men here will buy me XRP... I mean... A new set of armor.

XRP/BTC 1 month / 1 day

I see what you did there.
