There has been much talk about the current XRP pump of nearly 100% over the last week being due to people loading up on the shit in anticipation of the spark airdrop. Fine, if you think retail can pump 45 billion tokens to a 30 billion dollar market cap, then cool, keep your blinders on. This doesn't explain the Stellar Lumens pump though. There is no airdrop associated with Lumens in the future, so there is literally no reason for it to also pump 100% in the last week. I believe XRP price will pump perhaps the day or two before the snapshot based on the airdrop, and it will be relatively small in comparison to what just happened. This pump is something different as it seems to be the same across multiple coins that do not share the airdrop. Discuss. Prove me wrong. No schitzo shit. Go.

Alright /biz/ I currently have a decent sized stack of Link (4.1k) putting me inbetween 69k and 70k. I want to take out a small amount of Link and pick up some cheap stuff on the off chance it actually picks up. By selling 100 link and putting 50 into XRP and 50 into XLM I can get a few thousand of each and round my Link stack to a nice 4k. What are your thoughts?

XLM vs XRP
Which one will make it?

What's gonna move sooner, XLM or XRP?

Which one should I buy more of right now?

New data from Juniper Research has shown that the total value of B2B cross-border payments immutably stored on blockchain will exceed $4.4 trillion by 2024; up from $171 billion in 2019. Blockchain enables real-time clearing and settlement for B2B transactions, while offering increased transparency and reduced costs.

The new research, Blockchain: Key Vertical Opportunities, Trends & Challenges 2019-2030, revealed that financial institutions will save $7 billion by 2024, due to the automation of ‘Know Your Customer’ checks, allied to the involvement of blockchain in identifying users via self-sovereign identity.

Juniper Research assessed 15 leading blockchain vendors, scoring them on experience in the sector, marketing efforts and customer deployments along with their blockchain solutions. We positioned the 5 leading vendors as follows:

IBM
Infosys Finacle
