gforce 17 Posted August 29 everyone watching the price if the price didn't jump when moneygram investment was made no one expects a price appreciation even if this happen. buy ,sell Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
peanut56 694 Posted August 29 People are talking about it. IDK. Apparently there was there were some internal issues with engineers and managment bickering. The founders are from wallstreet. Who knows if the founders want out and can turn it over for a profit maybe that possibility exists. Again it is all speculation and I wouldn't take the rumours as truth. We know SBI is a stakeholder in R3 and we Know SBI is a stakeholder in RIpple. We know R3 has links to swift. We know Ripple would be giddy to help swift with their settlement issues. We also know Ripple and R3 have had some quarrels so who knows. I think, and this is speculation. If the opportunity exists and it benefits Ripple then it could happen. Again right now it is a rumour and nothing more. 3 ripplenet, XRPboi and automatic reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gforce 17 Posted August 29 well ripple did settle that lawsuit about a year ago about that billion XRP so if they bought r3 they would gain control of those back i suppose. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

XRPage 710 Posted August 29 R3 is involved in many projects and different sectors other than finance and payments: I don’t think Ripple is interested on spending time and resources on all that. Could Ripple become an investor/partner? For sure. What the terms could be? Who knows. Corda can already use XRP through the CordaSettler. Only thing that is missing is integration with xCurrent/xRapid. 1 kenrino reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Archbob 552 Posted August 29 I think the deal has something to do with smart contracts in R3, not Ripple outright buying R3. Cryptohawk is hyping it up. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Caracappa 936 Posted August 29 (edited) I don't know what other sources are speculating about it but i've got the rumour from Crypthawk. I don't know what to think of him. Don't trust him but he did get the MG rumour confirmed. Time will tell! I don 't know much... Edited August 29 by Caracappa 1 JBW reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Kiwi 659 Posted August 29 ..when you "predict" one thing and out of the sudden you have track record.. Pathetic 1 1 LiquidGoat and Cooliozxrp reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AgamemnonUA 213 Posted August 29 Just for the record, he also called the Canada Post announcement. Both, came from absolutely nowhere. Being a scammer does not mean that he does not have contacts. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
