There are some huge headlines coming out this morning.

Who the hell dumps 30k shares on the low end of the day?!?

After market looks discouraging as all hell. Let's hope it slingshots us somewhere tomorrow.

Did you?!? That would have been ballsy but correct if you were above 10 lol. Hindsight is always 20/20.

Is it me or did it seem like there was a LOT of positive press today and very little ti show for it lol. Don't get me wrong ... I am still a firm believer and realize this thing needs to see a LOT more action to make some moves but I feel like its poised for greatness before next year.

If they have been ruled not securities ... and are kind of stumbling along like xrp ... will a decision make a big deal for us?!? I know the answer is probably yes. But you can see my deduction.

So we can't sell right now because of the reverse split lol. Is that correct?!? Wasn't going to dump it all but was looking at raking in a little prifit.

Ha ha. That is awesome. I do believe there will be several big movers and shakers going forward. I am in the same boat so try to be as careful as possible in picking and chosing what I invest in. What do you think about Bitcoin going to 400k?!? Some of these predictions. I hope no one is risking more then they can afford with headlines like that.

Sometimes it's not the NUMBER of deals ... but who the deals are with. I don't doubt this thing is going places. But if ripple were to land WU that would be a nice feather in the proverbial cap so to say.

Well Tron got a few major uplistings and Western Union may have gone with XLM even after testing xrp and the associated software I read this morning. That one is gonna hurt.

The whole thing is shrouded in conspiracy right now. From the bot xrp army, to the sec ruling possibly being a year out, to price manipulation ... there is just as much bad press as good right now. I don't believe much of it but it's going to be a while before ALL of the dusk settles. In the words of a great man ... "They hate us .. cause they ain't us." ????

Is something up with iHub?!? There is no cost or numbers exchanged on xrp all day today. What's up with that?!?

A lot of news saying it could BE A YEAR before the rule on the classification so this may be a back burner for a while. Did you check out Eryllium?!?

Only because you are super in the know ... what are your thoughts on Eryllium?!?

Considering I just read there may be talk it could be up to a year before this thing is deemed a security or not ... it may go lower lol.

That would be awesome because then we are almost back to where I started lol. Part of me wishes I loaded heavy and brought my average way down when I had the chance. But half of me also wondered if this whole thing was a scam. When I first got in I know a LOT of people told me to stay clear and there were a lot more sure investments out there. There were ... and there will be. This one was my first major investment and learning experience to say the least. I pretty much cringed the entire time it was sub .10 and said there goes that some days lol. Still not out of the clear entirely. Won't get mad crazy excited until the results come in. A few biotechs taught me don't count your chickens til they hatch. This has been an interesting road to say the least. Glad I stayed with it even if just for the comic relief some days.

Way to do your homework. I will have to give it some thorough reading this weekend but that is some good information to think over for sure.

I saw someone mention the loaning thing the other day. The only thing that makes me nervous is it's hard to keep track of your currency and getting it off and on your nano or what ever. So the thought of loaning something like this ... nope lol. It's almost like loaning out shares to short if you catch my drift. Or no?!?

I read a prediction that some yahoo believes bitcoin could easily go to 100k ... and may even top out at 400k. And yet here it can't even hold 4k lol. All these predictions. I just chuckle. I just follow who's using and who's backing which coin. A lot if people are saying xrp will eventually wind up on top. Some are already saying xlm and IBM may even be late in the game and a non factor. Who knows. Just have to wait and see. I bet I will be retiring by 50 if all goes well and that would be fine with me.

Stay focused ...

I won't lie ... when this thing was wallowing in the muck and the more sub .10s I was like there goes that. Now I wish I threw another 10k at it lol.

Who's selling?!? How could you not want to watch this Cindarella Story play out.

Did you wait or already pick up xlm?!? It's been on a mildly downward trend if not.

No ... you can't lose. But you CAN lose your mind trying to pick every winner out there and watching every lol. I use ABRA and have a list of currencies I watch just to compare side by side. They are all ... for the most part doing the same thing. ~~~~~~~~~ Just don't drive yourself crazy on the short game. This is still a marathon.

Well stellar did make a slight move ... most likely on the news. These things have been moving like small ripples lately. All cryptos have been having highs and lows. I'll probably wait to see if it comes back down. I remember there was an article out not too long ago proclaiming Bitcoin would never drop below 4k again. Right now it's anyone's guess and I refuse to pay more than I have to lol.

I think most of us already knew this. Truth is they may add other coins to make payments in the future. That could include xrp. There's always going to be competition in anything one does. Let the games begin.

Well, while swift is getting better ... how much money would a bank save in 2 years?!? On that roughly 5k transfer ... they saved 102 dollars. Do the math. If you are moving major money... how much would you save in 2 years?!?

Even if that IS THE CASE now, it doesn't matter. These are the results and praise xrp is receiving ...

"We did our first live commercial payments a couple of weeks ago. So we are now making payments for a UK corporate to Mexico to import Mexican food. And they are moving a lot faster than payments would go through Swift, at a much lower cost."

Those two factors are going to be a major factor going forward, and in today's day and age ... with the price of everything going up, you look to ways to save money. This fact cannot be ignored. It's not like they are saying "It's just as good as SWIFT." THAT would be a problem.

They are saying IT'S BETTER, and HERE'S WHY.

"Recently, a series of tweets posted by Geoff Golberg, a New York-based researcher, provided evidence that the XRP Army is possibly just a bunch of bots and not an army of thousands of real human beings. According to some studies, it could all be a marketing strategy aimed at achieving a false engagement image."

That's like saying I may or may not have provided evidence that Bigfoot may or may not be real.

I mentioned XLM a while back and everyone shrugged it off right quick lol. So not sure you'll find major support for that here lol.

Is there anything they are NOT going to get into ...

https://ambcrypto.com/ripple-xrp-to-venture-into-biometrics-space-holding-company-expresses-interest-in-xrp-ledger/

It's nice when the rumors become headlines lol. The tides will turn sooner or later. And at these prices and acquiring ... later is ok too.

https://dailyhodl.com/2019/03/08/ripples-xrp-powered-xrapid-set-for-major-adoption-from-three-crypto-giants/

Ha ha. That did give me a good chuckle lol. I meant it more tongue in cheek or sarcastic lol. There is so much information at people's finger tips now. Both a blessing and a curse if you ask me.

You mean to tell me you don't dwell on those articles calling xrp a scam lol. All in good time.

Profits are profits. Who cares if someone is shorting. Takes just as much balls hoping something fails as it does hoping something succeeds. I got in when it was still in the 1.9s so I can STILL turn a profit right now if I want. It can just sit there in the background for right now for all I care. What is this ... your SOLE focus in life?!?

Wait ... Before I even read this ... I have to ask ... are you trying to argue current scientific results with 1860 philosophy?!?

This is what we are holding out for. With new users as credible supporters expounding on the real use case benefits of using this system .... now it's just a matter of time.

Most of the partnerships have been with platforms. There will be a lot of people buying and selling trying to make a fast buck. Volume indicators may be misleading. Individual investors are not going to get this thing of the ground. When the banks get involved in big numbers it will be lights out. May not be for a year or two. SBI said all Japanese banks on board by what ... 2025?!? I am guessing we will have a bumpy ride before the real launch into double digits.
