Why would the entire operation stop as long as the suit isn't settled? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have to keep on the table the possibility the epic 2016 25x run up to the 3.5 run were engineered. If they were it was a strike of genius.

Julian_Williams Posted December 26, 2020 Share Posted December 26, 2020 (edited) I have just cut my stake in XRP into half This is partly an emotional reaction. Garlinghouse was selling far more XRP than he needed to provide for even a very lavish lifestyle, at the same time as promoting XRP to the public and his partners. The cognitive dissonance/conflict of interest in this sort of behaviour is to me breath taking. I am having trouble believing in the honesty of Garlinghouse as CEO. I am wondering if he did not settle with SEC to save his own backside, or for the good of Ripple. I have no way of knowing if he is still pointing two ways, like he seems to have been doing for several years. Many years ago, when my business was young, I was dealing with an American distributor who was doing business with someone who had cheated one of my artists. This was enough for me to stop doing business with him. In a stroke I cut out 30% of my business, and ever since it is a first principle of my business never do trade with someone you distrust or believe is dishonest. I feel the same sentiment towards Brad Garlinghouse. I cannot forgive his duplicity. It is making me feel unwell. That said I want also to say before this happened I have never seen Ripple/XRP in such a strong position. No 3 in CMC on the threshold of a bull market in 2021 The only token in the top three that has a real use case The combination of ODL and Flare I am so happy I have the flare tokens. In many ways I now see these are more promising than XRP (under this management). Another reason I have cut my stake is that I think there will at some point be a BTC correction, and this will drag XRP down too. I will review my position and could well buy back into XRP.

xrp-nuke Posted December 26, 2020 Share Posted December 26, 2020 (edited) Ome thing though happena to BTC that is unique to this run: shortage. It means corrections will not be as brutal as was, if any. Interesting times. Edited December 26, 2020 by xrp-nuke Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Btc, ETH and EOS are the only ones with clarity. Then after that there's PoW coins with no central head organization like XMR or LTC. Everything else is up for the SEC to destroy.

HPNASTPN2BRKNNS Posted December 26, 2020 Share Posted December 26, 2020 Sold a little xrp @ .32, got some eos with it about 2hrs ago. Not a lot, but a little. I don't know why it is so close to an all time low. I'm diversifying my portfolio a little. I thought that was interesting too( EOS' near atl). I like cardano, but idk if it right now would be the best time to take a position, personally.Or any alt right now. Most alts got rekt because of the sec announcements. It's kind of funny when you think that every other alt finally was in some parity with xrp and not bitcoin for once. This upcoming week is gonna be interesting to see how they bounce back (not soo much xrp ). Anybody else think btc will retrace at all? Maybe a little correction, consolidation, from this past week hitting aths? Julian_Williams 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HPNASTPN2BRKNNS Posted December 26, 2020 Share Posted December 26, 2020 I need to see some volume, haha. I know it was a holiday, but this week has been so dramatic, I can't handle the lack of volatility right now. Hopium 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wise move...I sold 90% of my XRP because the risk is too great right now. Do you want to take high risks and hold all your XRP in a volatile market, or sit it out, and buy back in when there's clarity and pay the premium for waiting (higher DCA)? I prefer the latter. I still hold some XRP because there's always the chance of some event like the escrow being burned or something like that...something you can't time. Other than that, XRP could end up being one of the safest buys after the court case or settlement, or perhaps the biggest scandal in the cryptospace.

Either you have no profit or no tax from your selling if you did it in late of the year 😱 which one? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
