Can't be terrible to hold a few k coins and hope that somehow they do replace swift.

They can replace swift without the coin itself making the value of your coin worthless.
It s been a while that bank acknowledge the blockchain while not caring about about crypto currencies

So why does the coin exist?

To make the founders of Ripple rich

the altcoin streets may get bloody soon. in that event some will shift into bitcoin, others out of crypto entirely. this seems to have merit for btc currently being underpriced.

this 1000%

Amazing how people jump on the Ripple hype train. The conecept is great, but open source and if banks really want to get in and use the protocol they can do so without XRP.

It very well could replace SWIFT, but for sure not with XRP as token.

Then ride the hype and make some money

The ripple network is not going to go away. There are already banks committed to it. You dont need rxp to use the network though so rxp is more like the companies ico. I almost ended up working for them at one point.

salty aus?

Performance has been a bit disappointing for Bitcoin Cash recently, but that only makes it a better buy now. It is Bitcoin Cash, trust me, buy it now and the returns over legacy BTC will be great. Transaction volume has risen 10-fold in the last 3 months and it will continue as Ethereum and Bitcoin are both operating at their scaling limits and Bitcoin Cash has all the important exchange support right now.

Merchant adoption is coming. Lightning will most likely be a failure and it is also late given the quick developments we have right now, i have made a lot of Bitcoin payments and basically never would I have used lightning. Segwitcoin is also vulnerable to a miner swith sometime this year as miners support Bitcoin Cash, be careful with Segwitcoin.

bitcoin cash is nothing more than dogecoin, with an horrible marketing.
The whole business plan is to steal the bitcoin identity to benefit from the domain name they own. Great technology to invest in.

So Bitcoin cash wasn't made by the same guy who made Bitcoin? Are beg affiliated in any way?

Dogecoin is based on bitcoin code aswell and is cheap and fast

Since your entire argument hinges on this alone you should include some details. Merchant adoption and number of transactions are far less important.

I know nothing about the LN, but if it's a success, BCH loses how much value vs BTC?

Atomic swap are supposed to come within 2 months. That's a pretty cool feature imo

Bull****. You cannot predict all these alt-coins will fail in the coming weeks. If it doesn't fail then all your arguments are worthless. Stop coming here thinking you know what you're talking about.

Bankroll management idiot.

They tested it on testnet and are testing it live now. It won't hold my breath but that's pretty promising.

LOL answered that. But now I'm confused between the post you quoted and your answer.

I think you could be right in some sense but people are still coming in droves to get into the crypto game. Every day people are signing up, especially cause of Ripple.

Maybe in 6 months all the alt coin money will go back into bitcoin who knows. People make a lot of money on alts then pump BTC.

My quote and my answer are irrelevant. I was merely replying to your bull****.

Bitconnet got a cease and desist order from Texas for being a scam. Lololol

there is no counterparty risk using xrp...banks will find out its cheaper and easier to use the xrp in several circumstances, particularly when they dont have a trust relationship with each other and the alternative is several hops and currency exchanges to find a path where each participant accepts the counterparty risk and has enough money on the nodes to extend the temporary loan.

with xrp its easier, there is no counterparty risk on a blockchain asset they just go point to point with xrp to banks they dont trust, and a whole lot of fiat funds that would be needed to be held by the nodes is eliminated.

I can see some value in the system. It's the huge pump of a token massively hold by the company that feel shady as ****.
And lets not pretend they seem to offer major advantages over other competitors.

love seeing BTC green and all the alts red
