IBM Partners with Stellar Lumens.

[CubanMiner]

Guys you know I've been with Ripple for a while now but with no news coming out, and stagnant prices I have liquidated half of my Ripple holdings and put it into Stellar Lumens.  Better to have a piece of both pies.  I think Stellar Lumens is headed to $1 with this news.  THIS IS HUGE!!!!!!!!

A While?  Sept 14th is not a while.  Thats a month exactly.

LOL...on this forum....I've been into Ripple for much longer than that...Just not a fanatic of anything but making money.

Nothing wrong with that, some xrp hodlers are like jealous girlfriends. You want to buy stellar, buy it, you want to sell all your xrp, sell it, who cares bro, your money your decisions. Heck i just bought some stellar and already made money!

[cmbartley]

This timing of this announcement, pretty aggressive by Stellar. Gotta respect their competitiveness. Fiji is a much smaller market than Mexico but let the games begin. Stellar has liquidity than Ripple, will be interesting to see how this evolves. 

It actually reminds me a bit of the game Risk. Ripple has gone for large hard to defend territories and Stellar has started with small, more easily defended territory.

Lol.. It's 3am here in Florida... Woke up... Checked my cryptos... Trying to figure out why stellar had shot up all of sudden, then find this: https://www.coindesk.com/ibms-stellar-move-tech-giant-use-lumen-cryptocurrency-payments-rail/

I believe in ripple, but I also believe in stellar.. While everyone was focused on ripple, stellar was taking the path of least resistance by enticing the crypto community with 12 different Stellar wallets, making access to and interaction with their platform as user friendly as possible, enticing Devs by providing extensive dev support on their website, etc.

Ripple will likey remain too expensive for the foreseeable future for the underbanked to get involved, but not stellar since they have been aiming to bring mobile banking to the underbanked for quite some time.

I liquidated  significant holdings in several cryptos at a loss to get my hands on more stellars back when ripple had tweeted "3 2 1... countdown" as an intro to SWELL.

If you made money off of my recommendation and want to tip me for helping you make some money then you can send ETHEREUM to

Jed's problem... He always knew how to play games, but never knew how to win them [emoji57]

OK but I'm a Kiwi and they are pretty good on the uptake of tech - but banking is very efficient there - Paywave, good online banking, efficient systems. But for internet shopping, there is unlikely to be much call for international micro payments. Insular little self sustained place. 

I've also been to Fiji, Tonga, Cook Islands, Vanuatu, Samoa. Good luck with that! There is a reason why they are unbanked and it starts with the fact that they have no money and quite a lot of them have not much interest in participating in the whole global economy gig. They live in paradise and walk to where they can get what they want. Anyone who wants banking is nevertheless well served. 

I'm watching, and I'm smiling!

Yes... but that's just a future plan, and who knows how long that will be.  I think Ripple will have swallowed those markets before Stellar gets in.  And to add...... why would such a big company deal with small fry like Jed.  Surely a huge multinational company would want this to themselves?

[KyleButler]

Can anyone explain what in the world is going on? Why is it that a trial run with Stella, causing over 100% gains? Hasn't Ripple announced a number of trial runs over the year? 

Thank god I am in the crypto world to see such gains in a couple hours!
