XRP Process
https://imgur.com/a/Wbf7N

XRP Compared to other Crypto
https://imgur.com/a/PvTef

Companies Using XRP:
https://imgur.com/a/xEbcx

Facts:
XRP is not centralized, anyone can run validator server.
XRP price is not fixed by anyone not even banks or Ripple Co.
XRP is a coin used to transport value over the Internet, specifically over the blockchain network, same as any other coin.
There is a limited amount of XRP amount premined around 100B.
In order for the banks to use XRP, fast payments with literary 0 costs they will need to purchase XRP for their reserves from Ripple Co at market price.

XRP Process explained:
The orange box is a xRapid software that automates exchange of fiat to XRP a current exchange rate.
Wheneven customer wants to send fiat, bank takes this fiat and exchanges it for XRP at current exchange rate,
XRP is sent over the blockchain to destination, at destination XRP amount is converted back to fiat.
All of this takes less than 3 seconds.

But muh jew coin:
Remember you are here to make money not for the moral that banks are evil.
If you think banks will go away anytime soon you are delusional retard.

This is the only coin that's changing the industry right now,
all others live on hype.

I've been in cryptocurrencies for over two years now, and, especially around forums like these, it is becoming extremely evident that none of you actually understand these coins.

Prime example. Ripple's XRP. This is in fact an amazing product. Here's some actual facts to counter the lies you hear on a daily basis.

- Ripple is centralized!!
No, it is not. Especially since latest release of 0.81 https://ripple.com/dev-blog/rippled-version-0-81-0/ Ripple works day and night to make XRP more decentralized.

- Ripple can just flow the market with all XRP! Exit scam!
No, they can not you dumb asshole. XRP is locked in escrow (a crypto vault) and will be released steadily over years.

- Banks will never use XRP.
They already are. Alongside their xCurrent and xVia software. XRP aids in reducing costs even further, which is why it is intresting for them.*3 out of 5 biggest payment providers in the world are going to use XRP in 2018*

- You can't mine Ripple.
This is true, it is relatively energy-neutral and pre-mined. A bitcoin, by nature, is also just a certificate that some chink's GPU solved a riddle. .

Ripple is the market leader in regulatory means and in an event of a ban likely the only survivor besides privacy coins.

Ripple has always been a top coin, and likely always will be, even if it is difficult to understand for forum dwellers like you.

Please present your FUD/questions so that others can learn from the answers and actual facts.

Yes, just like Bitcoin, Ethereum or any other crypto-currency. If you hold the keys then the crypto is yours and no-one can freeze it. And just like Bitcoin, Ethereum or any other crypto, if you put it on an exchange you are handing over your crypto in return for an IOU. And the exchange can choose to sieze that IOU or not honour it. Ripple has a decentralised exchange built right into the network.

This is the exact reason why you should go into XRP.

/biz hates it.

Biz loves a deserted basement project with no product (ChainLink) over an actual active product, with a company and active customers.

Do you think this board matters?

2. Invest in what /biz hates
3. Disregard what /biz likes.

[Performance]
-Ripple consistently handles 1,500 transactions per second, 24x7.
-Payment channels can process 10s of 1000s of transactions per second.

.
[Cost]
-A standard transaction costs just 0.00001 XRP.
-The cost is not paid to any party: it's irrevocably destroyed.

.
[Real-world use]
-5 institusions are currently using XRP (MoneyGram, Cuallix, FlashFX, IDT and MercuryFX).
-Many banks are currently using xCurrent. Since xRapid is cheaper (saves up to 60%) and provides final settlement, they are likely to transition to it.
-Bichip will use XRP in its RFID chips.
-A w3c standard that Ripple helped develop (and was demo'd by Microsoft) will be available in all major browsers, it'll facilitate paying with XRP.

.
[Economics]
-The supply is fixed.
-Unlike Bitcoin, there's no inflation. Bitcoin uses PoW which relies on inflation and/or high fees. Bitcoin requires $18M of net new $ flowing in just to maintain the price!!

.
[Security]
-Unlike Bitcoin, double-spending isn't possible. Bitmain (a Chinese company) can rollback Bitcoin's chain and bunkrupt the whole ecosystem.
-An attack could only stop new transactions temporarily. Participants would simply remove bad participants from their list

.
[Decentralisation]
-Each participant can run a validator and use his own list of validators.
-validators role is to agree on an order for new transactions
-10s of reputable public & private entities around the world are currently running validators (e.g., Microsoft, MIT, CGI, WorldLink, Bahnhof,..)
-Consensus for the order of new transactions requires a supermajority of 80%

.
[Incentives]
-XRP is a revenue source for Ripple Labs. This aligns its incentives with XRP hodlers. It uses the revenue to improve the tech and expand XRP's marketshare.
-Ripple Labs share is locked in 55 batches on the network. Only one batch can be unlocked per month. It would take them 5 years to unlock them all. XRP is sold only to long term investors (i.e., they can't dump).

But they don't already own it. At least not in any significant volume. Most is still owned by Ripple and in escrow. And the reality is not just 'anyone' can mine Bitcoin. Only those who have an electricity supply cheaper than the sale price of BTC. Or buy capacity off someone who does. Hence why 3 chinese mining co's hold over 50% of the hashrate

You just need to send your details to Ripple to be added to the list. That list is just for informational purposes and regardless of if you are on or off that list anyone can add you to their validators list on their node.

I highly doubt that, The market cap for Ripple would have to be insanely high compared to what it is today.

ALL ripple nodes validate (they check whether the transaction is valid or not before accepting them)
the special role of the validators on the UNL is to simply agree on an order for the new transactions, that's it, a supermajority of 80% is required to agree on the order.

their power is very limited, unlike the miners, who can double spend (produce a longer blockchain with double spend transactions). In Ripple, it's not possible to double spend. Once a valid ledger is agreed upon by the supermajority, it can't be reversed.

This is actually a key point. Ripple is deterministic. Once a ledger has been closed and validated a few seconds later, that is it. The transaction is valid. No if's no but's. It is valid. With PoW systems like Bitcoin you have to wait a certain number of confirmations until you can be sure that the transaction is actually final. Depending on the coin this can be hours.

Being in ripples escrow account doesn't mean it can't be pre sold directly to banks... Who can then flip it for BTC they actually want

Yeah and the network becomes insecure if the miners leaves, which can happen if profitability drops relatively because of a price crash or a competing coin/fork.

Anyone who thinks big institutions and normal people will trust their life saving with such system are delusional. People want certainty now and in the future.

Well no, not really. As it can't be transferred out of escrow. So the only thing they could do is pre-sell some kind of IOU for the XRP. And I don't see any reason why Ripple would bother doing that. 1B XRP is released from escrow each month. Last month they returned 90% of that (900M) back to escrow to be released in 5 year's time.

No, not really. In the last 24 hours for example, 80% of the volume of trade has been XRP. But that is not the point, you are suggesting that Ripple Inc could sell an IOU of sorts to the XRP they hold in escrow. I say 'of sorts' as of course it couldn't be an actual IOU on the ledger as those fund are in escrow. So it would have to be some kind of legal contract in which they would promise to pay the bank *actual* XRP once it comes out of escrow. Problem is how do you think the bank would flip that to BTC? Are you suggesting that someone holding BTC would then accept that contract for the future XRP? No. Ain't going to happen. Why would someone holding actual Bitcoin give up their bitcoin in exchange for some kind of contract IOU for XRP? Unless Bitcoin holders really are that stupid.

ffs have some patience. Interledger and Codius are coming soon and they are not priced in (few people know what the fuck they are).

now the price is stable, a strong support has been established, it's the perfect time to buy. First demo of Interleger is coming out soon, if you wait you will have to buy at a higher price.

and don't trade more than 50% of your XRP bags. XRP is a solid 1 year hodl.
