Instant buy doesn't mean they're using Ripple / XRP... It could be just a credit and no withdrawal until the fiat deposit is cleared / settled. Gemini does this too, you can instantly buy crypto with your fiat, but you cannot withdraw until your fiat clears in 4-5 days.

I've heard some people mention that because SWELL is primarily a networking/discussion based event, it doesn't make sense for there to be any announcements (especially given that the Agenda already laid out on the site).

While I would typically agree, the one thing that doesn't align with that expectation is what Brad said on Quora. I don't see how else you could interpret the Quora reply from Brad Garlinghouse - he DID explicitly choose to answer this question:

Q: Can we expect any significant announcements during the SWELL event?

His response was YES - and to tune into the livestream. 

Something like retweeting news about the Gates Foundation partnership obviously doesn't count here. Neither does Stakeholders discussing challenges, interests in blockchain etc. constitute as an announcement. I think Brad is shrewd enough to realize what counts as significant in order to reply this way. Now it could be just repeating news we've seen recently (Cualix, Gates etc.), but I still anticipate it to be something during the conference outside of the panels... How else does the logic of "Yes, but tune into the livestream" make sense here? 

 

---

I'm staying optimistic and patient - I think we'll hear something within the 3 days of SWELL. 

Agreed. And brad will lose bit of  credibility because of creating a hype  if there is no susbtance to what he said.

As a reference point, when Miguel said there were payment developments to come in Q3 - it ended up being the news around Cuallix using XRP (although announced slightly late). I'm sure Ripple knows to deliver on any public claims of an announcement, and IMO Brad's answer here is a pretty clear indication that something will be announced during SWELL  that's my hope anyway...

AS I SAID BEFORE.... Ripple & XRP will be merited on performance, adoption and political transformation .... Not media hype and a 3day conference of any kind.

There's an old saying.... The proof is in the eating of the pudding. When BOE shares its findings with other banks and more people eat cake, they'll soon see how sweet their slice of the XRP cake is.

Its not about judging xrp mate. I have been into xrp for last 3 years and i still like it more than any other coin but, regardless, when CEO of a company says something it has to have substance or people start taking it as a pinch of salt and you cant blame them.

I don't blame them... I too get emotional. XRP is 2 of a kind in the space and those expecting a instant gratification for Value would be wrong. The price with raise and fall but FAR TOO MANY HATERS ...For this beautiful tech, I'm merely saying we should wait.

I was disappointed to see how many people yesterday were so Negative about XRP. 

I'm pro XRP and I tell everyone, however I also make silly mistakes, as I'm just an average joe.

Agreed about thinking longterm with xrp my friend and as i said i dont blame anybody if the price does not pickup for sometime due to time taken in adoption of xrp, however what i still find odd is the immaturity in CEO's chosing words as he must have known people would be expecting big if he says something like that, either it was a pump and dump  strategy to sell their own coins at peak or lack of unserstanding the impact of his own words, which ever it is, it gave rise to false hopes and caused heartache to some of us ( disclosure - i am xrp long term hodler and dont trade so  daily price change does not impact me personally, but above is true nevertheless)

Oh geez. There is still time left. Relax. Wait until the conference is over and if there is no announcement then you can openly bash away.

BG and all the team are doing what their supposed to do. We all need to sit in the doctors waiting room, and be patient.

Surgery and good examination takes time. These are delicate issues what Ripple & XRP offers the world.

BTC ... Is heads on the finacial CRYPTO and XRP i guess would like to be the actual coin, instead of the stamp of heads or tails.

I only partially agree with u mate. May be they are doing their job well ( we can only hope right...? ) and yes we are supposed to wait but thats not applicable when CEO himself raises hopes, only to be realized by people that they shouldnt have given it as much importance as they did. Sorry if it sounds bit bitter, but again its realistic not fud bcz all of us are in this boat together with the same goal of sending xrp to mooon.

Mate I'm in my own boat no disrespect... XRP is something that we have in common. I have said this before, XRP & Ripple to be merited on performance and adoption.

The next step is to make our Sexy girl, XRP have a high IQ & EQ and transform her into a super accountant with the highest degree in universal Law lol. Then we're Kosher!

She's wearing a blue and gold number lol
