We are just getting started ...

https://ethereumworldnews.com/spend-ripple-xrp-in-more-than-40-million-locations-across-180-countries/

I found an article about 11,000 places in Australia accepting xrp as payment but couldn't get the link to open. So it's unconfirmed but have you seen anything relating to that prospect?!?

Just another piece of the puzzle coming together.

https://ambcrypto.com/ripple-al-ahli-bank-of-kuwait-partners-with-ripple-to-enable-fast-and-effective-transactions/

Notice how they got right back to regarding this lol. Surprised it didn't get deleted.

And for those who don't pay off at the end of month?!?

Yes. But how many people may think ... I'll borrow 2 or 3k, and just make the minimum payment because that's all they can afford ... and this thing is about to "sky rocket" anyways ... and when they see the interest ... realize they can just pay the minimum. It happens all the time. All o am saying is complaining about a high interest rate for using credit doesn't discredit xrp. But people spending money they don't have expecting a fast return may lead down a slippery slope. Just be smart with your money and never play with more than you can afford to lose. Using credit to invest may be just that is all I am saying.

I think everyone was just bummed that the news was ... we are still waiting for ... more news lol.

Yeah ... but the return may be years down the road. And if you front that money now you are carrying the percentage in interest. I know everyone gets excited when another 23 million users have access to xrp. Or we add 16 more accounts. Etc etc etc. But there is so much floating around this isn't getting off the ground by individual investors alone. Not to the levels that we want. That's going to be years. I don't know. That's how people get into trouble with debt. I wouldn't promote it. This is not a sure thing any time soon and we all know that.

Who would use a credit card to invest in anything. It's like taking a cash advance or debit on your credit card ... those fees aren't cheap. This is junk and anyone who uses a credit card this way is crazy.

Clay Trader shows up and watch the bottom fall out. I wonder if this guy is some sort of tell for short. Wouldn't be surprised.

Are we thinking it may take off that fast this week?!?

I have no doubt it will. This things has climbed to 5 in the past on blah news. Sounds like a ways to go but there are still a lot of good things happening here.

Riddle me this Batman ... I do have one question. How the hell does someone with a "previous career in law enforcement" become the project manager / investor communications manager (combined roll) of a developer of integrated solutions for the energy industry (aka QS Energy). CAN WE PLEASE GET TO THE BOTTOM OF THAT ONE?!?

I think the major driving factor is supply. But this one is going to be worth the wait. Rome wasn't built in a day, but it was a glorious empire lol. I think this is more of a marathon. But in the end we are going to have breakaway speed and pull away from them all.

And I will leave you with this one last good read for the weekend. This one slipped under the radar ...

https://ethereumworldnews.com/4500-stores-worldwide-now-accept-xrp/

This just in ...

https://ambcrypto.com/ripple-xrp-xrp-will-soon-hit-abra-crypto-platform-confirms-ceo-bill-barhydt/

Unfortunately ... you don't lol. Technology is amazing ... until it's not. That why I still always have a little cash on hand hidden someplace special. Not my mattress ... that's too easy lol. Have a great weekend. Fingers crossed.

It may not hurt to diversify. But there is so much information on price predictions etc etc etc. I try and block out the noise and really follow this through. The articles are out there that's for sure.

Haven't got a chance to read it yet but it may be a good take ...

https://ambcrypto.com/part-2-ripple-xrp-the-end-game-dred-it-run-from-it-xrp-still-arrives/

I am still picking some up here and there and averaging way down. I think I am down to the .40s which isn't too bad. However ... to much more and my better half may shoot me lol.

I am just pumped because as institutions and funds are going to allow you to trade xrp places like ABRA that trade cryptos ... they are going to allow you to trade stocks, ETFs, etc. That alone is going to make huge moves. Everything is getting legitimized in all directions.

Just another new use case ...

Apparently we are not the only crazies out there.

Even if banks do create their own ... that doesn't mean there won't be a need for a standard denomination. That's like calculating currencies and exchanges across boarders for large payments. It's not much different then how things are now, just faster. Unless I am missing something. This has been a VERY long day.

It's amazing how much positive press xrp is soaking up right now. It will be interesting to see where we end up this year.

Yes. Who would spend 3 years on a project and then jump ship if they didn't feel they were landing on a lifeboat. Or in this case ... a rocketship. I think that speaks volumes over any previous signs or tea leaves we were reading.

Loved this part if one of the articles ...

"As we transition to a late-stage development company, we are very pleased to welcome Dr. Aleksandra Rizo to Geron as Chief Medical Officer. With Aleksandra’s prior experience as the clinical lead for the imetelstat program for more than three years at Janssen, as well as her wealth of leadership experience with other hematology-oncology development projects at both Janssen and Celgene, we believe she is uniquely suited to build and lead our clinical development team."

Did everyone else pick up that little tid bit?!?

Wow. I was on the verge of freeing up 10k to bring me down this morning. May still free it up so I have it at the ready next week. I know everyone got soured by what happened but I think everything is going to play out the way it should have. Scary at first. But I think we are in for a ride this year.

Don't get me wrong ... this is all pointing in a very good direction. But I think some of us still feel the burn on the last go around of good news lol. And it will still be ways off before any of this solidifies the way we want. Still glad I'm in it though.

Do you think this will be a big selling of the news for anyone who got in on that last major dip and can make up 25%?!?

Similar article but sounds a lot more positive here.

https://ripplecoinnews.com/swift-ceo-ultimately-points-xrp-on-panel-to-announce-r3-integration

What a difference a day makes lol. Glad I bought on that dip to .28. THIS THING IS SO UNPREDICTABLE. Just enjoying the pleasant surprise this morning lol.

https://dwinnex.com/2019/01/29/transenterix-inc-trxc-could-give-the-highest-percentage-gains-check-out-this-analysis/?amp

Didn't expect to see these prices again. With any luck this last transfer will clear and I will be able to get myself over the 10k hurdle on the cheap.

Have you ever heard if or tried using this?!? This is a question for everyone so chime in folks.

That's all it is. Don't forget ... this thing shot to .70s on ZERO news not too long ago. That would be like bitcoin doubling ... and that hasn't happened in a while. So I think we are in a very good position. The more people that sign on and the more places you can buy xrp ... just watch what happens.
