rootvegetable 1,039 Posted January 20, 2018 It's interesting that Ripple has that many followers on twitter. With 1M accounts created and something like 500k of those having the minimum balance, as well as some people having multiple accounts I would have guessed fewer than 707k people actually own xrp. I guess it could be that there are enough people that only have xrp on exchanges that live in one group account are enough to compensate? Either way, the number of Ripple twitter followers, is probably close to the best guess out there for number of people that own any xrp. Just a guess. 1 crunchy reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Half of those people might be following Ripple because they are interested and the other half could be people who own Xrp, who knows. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Don't forget that many of those people who own XRP don't have Twitter accounts and many who follow can't get listed on exchanges to buy yet.

I now feel better about 5-600k Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I don't follow ripple on twitter. it's really hard to know exactly how many people have xrp, but I would guess twitter might give us a fairly close idea Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

northerncrypto 5 Posted January 20, 2018 I don't think the number of followers would give any idea of actual XRP investors. Between media, FUDsters, pro traders, industry insiders, interested in crypto people, etc, you could make any guess.

Fees are ****, but it's a very quick way to get in. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
