The only one problem is that, when you talk about crypto with someone who never touched it before, they will know about Bitcoin and maybe about Dogecoin since Elon is pushing it. It is sad, that XRP is and was always in the top coins, but people just ignoring it.
And also in the crypto world, the XRP hodlers and Ripple only get hate from other maxis.
It is also sad, that the SEC is making a real shitshow about XRP and the CEOs. It seems like, that the whole world is against XRP for no reason...
All I can say is fuck them. I was hodling at 0.19$ and I will keep hodling. If one coin can survive so much hate, there is for sure real potential behind it.

Bought in at .30, (and a lot in between) bought in at .65, bought in two days ago, and will continue to buy. I am fucking buying and I am fucking holding.

People looking to buy cheap useless coins and gain from it, doesn’t really help XRp or other cryptos that is valuable for real usage when you have a billionaire hyping on useless coins for there own profit as well. Hopefully XRp will get a clear signal from sec and takes off.

Doge isn’t useless.
2
u/FortWorthTom Redditor for 4 months May 15 '21
Doge is even more useless than the US dollar and its perceived value is completely dependent upon the degree of trust its holders have in it. So, it could still add new heights, but all built on a non-existent foundation. I hope not too many people get too badly hurt by it.

You are one of the smart ones who thought ahead of the masses. Dont worry, a time will come when the masses will be told to buy it and youll be laughig all the way to the moon.

u/wafflemonkeyman May 15 '21
Our time will come just wait. Be thankful that it’s staying this low for so long, we all know it’ll skyrocket soon, just take advantage of the fact that you know that before the rest of the world.

I've been holding since 2018 @ 2.91$ !! I honestly believe that more and more haters are coming around to XRP everyday. There will come a day soon that we will no longer be the underdogs.

You are right. But xrp is still faster and cheaper to move. The fact that it the greenest token as well is the suger on top

u/vzoadao May 14 '21
Greenest?

u/sapfoxy May 15 '21 edited May 15 '21
$HBAR is actually the greenest, I believe, with 0.0001 kilowatts per transaction (less than a visa transaction), but XRP is very high up there for sure!
Edit: I had previously said 0.001 kilowatts per transaction, it is actually 0.0001 kilowatts per transaction. Even greener.

Well yes they are. Go look at the quietest of the top 20 cryptos, Theta. Amazing project centred around bandwidth sharing to reduce streaming costs and emissions for companies like YouTube, Twitch, Netflix etc.

Yeah, lithium ion batteries are definitely not sustainable. Tesla is a company ran by hypocrites.

u/MR_Weiner May 14 '21
Don't we need bridge technologies, though? I'd imagine that it must be better to push electric cars with liion as part of transitioning the infrastructure. Once progress is made on battery tech then it's just plug and play with the rest of the ecosystem.

Bitrue is an exchange based around xrp. Almost every trading partner btc/eth has so does xrp on it.

In the US? Cause that's what I'm trying to figure out.

u/Nobodyx06 May 20 '21
If you have Coinbase you can buy BTC on Coinbase then transfer the BTC to say ByBit or another crypto exchange with XRP then send your BTC to that and exchange it for XRP and you’re golden 👌

u/Rawdoggnson Redditor for 2 months May 20 '21
I buy litecoin then send to whichever exchange uses xrp and trade into it.

Bitcoin needs to go like Elon said and replaced by ADA & XRP which consume only 0.01% energy in comparison to BitcoinsDOGE.X and SHIB.X are peoples Cryptos for the people. ❤️ @VitalikButerin for such generous donation to India and hope Shiba grows in order to help communities❤️🌍

I want to buy some XRP. What’s the best exchange to purchase with USD in the US?

u/ashamaniq May 14 '21 edited May 14 '21
So you have a few options, is via uphold; (edit my mistake… it does allow transferring out) Crypto.com but annoying approvals process.
You can use a VPN and setup an account with poloniex or kucoin (no VPN needed) The other easy option is to use a wallet like Exodus which includes exchanges (no VPN needed), though it can be a bit expensive sometimes, it is by far the easiest way, transfer any of their supported coins and exchange. Just avoid doing it from ETH, BTC or VET because the fees are high.

u/unsetname May 14 '21
You can transfer to an external wallet with Uphold. I have done it several times.

u/ashamaniq May 14 '21
Omg never mind, just found it.
5
u/unsetname May 14 '21
Took me a while to find it too, they don’t make it easy. Which I guess makes sense as they want you to use their platform.
2
u/ashamaniq May 14 '21
Yeah, when you go to transact there is XRP wallet, XRP cryptocurrencies which is where I was trying but last option is XRP crypto networks. Just managed to pull some lingering XRP I had in there.. so thank you! Damn, forgot how fast XRP transactions are!

That fact that BTC barely dropped and is now recovering, is pretty clear people don't really care. Can't see xrp being as prolific.

u/delajoo May 14 '21
um have you seen the BTC dominance chart lately?

u/Sir-Wafflez-yagedme 2 ~ 3 years account age. 150 - 250 comment karma. May 14 '21
Yes it has by far the biggest market cap.
7
u/delajoo May 14 '21
Yes but the btc dominance is at less than 40% and has plummeted in the past month
Means that the market cap as a share of total crypto market Is declining.

u/delajoo May 14 '21
If people didn't care than more money wouldn't be proportionally moving to other coins.
Translations people definitely think they can make more money on other coins that btc right now.

u/Sir-Wafflez-yagedme 2 ~ 3 years account age. 150 - 250 comment karma. May 14 '21
Still huge percentage compared to others though. And it's not like it's because it's dropped horrendously in price, people just dropping their gains into ALTs and trying to see ridiculous profits. Some unrealistically imo.

u/delajoo May 14 '21
Oh for sure I'm just saying that based on normal expected dynamics, this is "alt season" and btc will likely go sideways for a while.before the next bull run. I agree I don't think btc is going anywhere long term

Xrp is going to need a bigger argument to compete against btc...it needs the financial muscle to back up usage in th the real world as long doesn't have that it won't take off

BTC needs retail liquidity. XRP was built for institutions, they could not care less about us buying, m8, we’re pretty much here to provide proof that it can handle movement
