Guest Posted August 15, 2019 Share Posted August 15, 2019 I had my finger on the buy button for BTC @ $9900... I might regret not clicking it. Or I'll be rejoicing in about 20 minutes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Right now, people don't feel good about XRP. Look at the sentiment around you! It's a ponzi, they're dumping it on us, it's going to 10 cents... it is everywhere. The thing about that, though, is that you don't tend to make a lot of money when you buy something that everybody is ecstatic about. They're ecstatic because the price already went up. Does that mean that all things that have been beaten down in price are excellent investments? Absolutely not - that's when you look at fundamentals. Fundamentals here are pretty good, I think, and the future looks bright, Will that translate into a higher XRP price? I have no idea, but I am betting so. Now, to your question of what needs to happen. I think we are years away from utility-based price appreciation. So, if we are to see any positive returns in the short term, it's likely going to be from speculation. I think the most plausible scenario for this would be that BTC goes up. It goes up, it eclipses its ATH and keeps going. This will bring attention to the space. And when people start to think maybe all the gains have been had in BTC, they start to look around... and they find XRP. This is what happened in 2017 and I predict that it will happen again. Right now, like it or not, we are inexorably tied to BTC and we should all be cheering it on. Because without BTC to buoy XRP and the other alts, it'll be a long wait until utility kicks in for us. Just my thoughts. i agree, the next run will still be speculative based. and it is true, sentiment is terrible everywhere for xrp, but the fundamentals are stronger than ever. sentiment is based on price action. what will reverse this is the question, if not for good news/fundamentals. i guess the ONLY thing that will turn this ship around is for btc to hit $20k before people even get excited for xrp again, which will turn sentiment positive again.

Dude was worry more shorts means price gonna dump. Following this logic then many longs suggests price increase. If you take a look at April xrpbtclongs chart you'll see xrpbtclongs ATH which was followed by a dump from about 8000 sat to where we're now.

Yes, exactly. Usually when people start dumping their money into the expectation of one price movement, it goes the opposite way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted August 15, 2019 Share Posted August 15, 2019 Have an early day tomorrow, so last post for tonight. While we're talking about BTC - if you zoom out a bit... we're fine. Hope everyone has a good night, let's all take a deep breath and see what tomorrow brings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CarloPonzi Posted August 15, 2019 Share Posted August 15, 2019 I hope not. Btc dominance needs to drop for us to have an alt season. I'm fine with the idea of XRP going back to 15cts if BTC keeps bleeding more and more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

susli Posted August 15, 2019 Share Posted August 15, 2019 Could it just be that in the wake of the possible beginning of a recession, people have been cashing out to prepare for bigger purchases like real estate? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XRPto50dollars Posted August 15, 2019 Share Posted August 15, 2019 i love reading old forums of btc from the early 2010's. Quote https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=137.20 people were willing to pay 10,000 btc for two pizzas. this was only 9 years ago. they were throwing around btc like it was nothing..because at the time, it was nothing. that pizza, at the ATH last year was worth $200,000,000. thats 200 MILLION dollars. think about that.

Guest Posted August 15, 2019 Share Posted August 15, 2019 As bad as this feels, I’m still predicting utility effect this year. I understand why others do not, but my belief is based on what we’ve heard from the early adopters about new corridors coming etc. Also although he has copped flak for it, I don’t think Brad would have said dozens of banks in 2019 unless he knew of a lot of nascent plans soon to be revealed. Even if most are delayed, that should still see some coming online this year. Add in Moneygram expecting 4th quarter results from XRapid usage to affect bottom line... a possible VISA/Moneygram link and I think things are going to heat up soon. UK and France getting regulatory clarity... lots of stuff happening. All those guys we get excited about and then forget are not just sitting on their hands... there’s many a team actively working towards big utility. Remember Santander, SBI, American Express... and plenty of others... they didn’t just say ‘ah let’s forget it...’. The fact that we haven’t seen it rise above the waterline yet doesn’t mean it isn’t there and being made ready. I’ve been optimistic and wrong before, but this all can turn on a dime and then add in a dash of fomo... I’m still betting on 2019. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
