I’m perhaps not seeing what the XRP Army/standard people see.

The list off the virtues of the xrp network/xrapid when asked why XRP is a worthy token for its price but here’s the thing.

None of that shit seems to give value to the token. Why is the token itself worth anything? Wouldn’t s stablecoin coin run on Xrapid or whatever do a better job?

Why would XRP utility increase the token price?

What am I missing?

There must be something else to this though. Some of them have reasonable arguments for the network, which I agree could be really important, but there must be some intrinsic value to the token?

They argue that when bank needs to do a large transfer it needs to buy the coin at a market price.

the only reasonable argument for xrp is that its fast. other than that its just a pump and dump scheme cause like you said its an utility token and you only need a few xrp o transfer a few hundred million of dollars.

none of the investors really know how xrp is meant to be used. it isn't meant to be used like
>>13221459 says. it wont be banking buying up tokens ant market value to transfer that value that way. that's not how it works.

also, highly centralized (or no ) governance.
the xrp witnesses / nodes is hard coded in the xrp wallet, which isn't technically a wallet but a node to process transactions. thats y you need a minimum of 25 xrp to set up a wallet.

the market capitalisation is cheated and ripple and frens control 60% of the supply, in this case being billions and billions of xrp tokens. way worse than any real chain / mined coin on the market right now.

>Wouldn’t s stablecoin coin run on Xrapid or whatever do a better job?
Pegged tokens have counterparty risk. When JP Morgan goes bankrupt, everyone holding JPM Coin is left holding the bag. What you'll end up with is hundreds of different "stablecoins" issued by each bank who doesn't want to be at the mercy of a competitor. That makes it even more difficult to settle payments. If you want to go this route, just use actual fiat on a modern payment network with bi-directional messaging and pre-confirmation of fees/account details.

>Why would XRP utility increase the token price?
Ripple's goal is to make XRP as liquid as a G10 currency. If that happens the volatility would be significantly reduced and demand for it would go through the roof. That demand could come from banks and payment providers using it to settle payments without pre-funding accounts or paying high fees through the correspondent banking system. Or it could come from companies like Uber who could hold one pile of XRP and be able to pay out in real time to anywhere in the world.

>>13221271
Ripple's XRP is currently valued at about $.03 per. Everyone recognizes they couldn't cash out all 58 billion tokens at the current market price.

>>13221479
>Which is super retarded as banks want to guarantee the value of their transfer in fiat. What’s the point in a fast transaction if the price moves a 1-2% within the time for remittance to occur?
Volatility is reduced because the full xRapid transaction only takes a minute or two. If that's still too much risk for a bank, they can offload it to someone else. This is what you're likely to see initially. It will be payment providers and other direct xRapid users performing the to and from XRP transactions and paying out at the destination.

No, XRP isn't a stamp. You have to move the actual value. If you want to move $100m then you have to buy and sell $100m worth of XRP.

>also, highly centralized (or no ) governance.
That's very debatable. Coin ownership is centralized (for now) but not the operation of the network. Governance is built in and much better than what you see in other cryptocurrencies.

>the xrp witnesses / nodes is hard coded in the xrp wallet, which isn't technically a wallet but a node to process transactions. thats y you need a minimum of 25 xrp to set up a wallet.
Nodes come with a default list of validators (sequencers) if that's what you're referring to. But those can be changed at will by any node. The reason you need 20 XRP to activate an account is because they are permanently stored on the ledger.

> Pegged tokens have counterparty risk.

XRP has much more counterparty risk than JPM Coin would. A scammy company holding 80% of the supply, promising not to create more is a much higher risk than a big 4 bank that has been around since 1899. Now you can claim someone like Bitcoin doesn't have counterparty risk since there isn't one entity controlling it and the the release of supply is written in code and there are only a few more million to be mined.

> Ripple's goal is to make XRP as liquid as a G10 currency.

Ripples have very little liquidity. Bitcoin's volume is 20 x times XRP volume. There is a much better argument and chance that Bitcoin becomes a global bridge and settlement currency than a token created, controlled and mostly owned by 1 company

> Nodes come with a default list of validators (sequencers) if that's what you're referring to. But those can be changed at will by any node

Anyone can run a validator BUT these validators are being IGNORED and they do not actually participate in the system. Unless your Validator is a trusted validator and in Ripple's UNL it is IGNORED. It's a completely CENTRALIZED trust based system where the supply, rules and protocol is controlled by a small group.

> It's important to understand that these validation messages are used only by rippled servers that explicitly trust your validator by listing it on their Unique Node Lists (UNLs). Servers that do not include your validator in their UNLs ignore your validator's messages in the consensus process. A validator that is not included in any UNL is called an untrusted validator.

if you ignore ripple and dont buy this obivious winner, you are a retard and deserve to never make it.

go buy your san fransisco located hipster startup autism coin with lunch money funding and hope it will be worth something some day.

ripple has 200 offices around the world and marketing budget bigger than 300m$ its more than most of /biz/ shilled autism coins out there.

you are fighting against windmills if you hate ripple.

ripple has already won,

They don't hold 80% and that's not what counterparty risk is about.

>promising not to create more is a much higher risk than a big 4 bank that has been around since 1899.
They don't have to promise anything. All consensus rules are enforced by all nodes, which means that no one has the ability to create more. There is even an invariant check to prevent inflation bugs like we've seen in BTC, XLM, and others.

>Bitcoin doesn't have counterparty risk since there isn't one entity controlling it and the the release of supply is written in code and there are only a few more million to be mined.
Until they decide to increase the supply so block rewards don't dry up. There is nothing magical about the 21 million limit. It can be changed just like the POW algorithm could be changed.

>Ripples have very little liquidity. Bitcoin's volume is 20 x times XRP volume. There is a much better argument and chance that Bitcoin becomes a global bridge and settlement currency than a token created, controlled and mostly owned by 1 company
Liquidity is currently poor for both. There is over $5 trillion per day moving through Swift. No cryptocurrency is ready to handle even a fraction of that. This is a very slow process that will take many years to grow. Bitcoin may be more liquid currently, but it fails on every other front. That includes lack of transaction finality, horribly slow transfer speeds, high fees, and inevitable mining centralization.

They all participate. They all validate transactions and enforce all the rules. Many nodes use different UNLs than what RIpple recommends. In fact, some ignore Ripple's validators just to show it can be done. There is nothing official about the list Ripple puts together.

The only thing a validator does that a stock node doesn't is participate in transaction ordering. So even if you don't run one, or no one listens to your validator, there is literally no effect on operation of the network from any user's perspective. This isn't POW where you receive block rewards/tx fees or where miners can exclude your transactions. There is significantly less trust required with this type of system since history cannot be re-written and there are no rotating dictators deciding which transactions go in which blocks.

Honest response:
XRP is made for bankers by a bunch of bankers. They have the biggest first mover advantage ever. They are insider who are literally entangled in every government crypto meeting ever. They have so many contacts and only are gaining more and more.

The idea that xrp has no value is retarded because current currentcies have nothing to back them up. Just confidence. And that is wat XRP offers. Alot of confidence in usage.

XRP gets burned per transaction and as banked are going to use it the coin will only increase in value. You niggers can only look at le application meme without any fucking background in business.

Look at it from this perspective:
It doesn't matter how good your CV is. If you do not have experience and the contacts, you are not going to get hired to be a CEO.

Ripple has connection to major banks and government institutions.
That's why they are in such a good position

Ripples are not used by banks. It's fucking marketing. It's not better than Stellar or any other dogshit gimmick out there. The Ripple marketing meme has just convinced a bunch of dummies that it's a bank coin and they'll buy your bags.

But as we're seeing now or we saw in 2017, Ripples only gains value when Bitcoin goes on runs. They've been doing xRapid gimmick since 2016. They said major banks will use xRapid and xRapid by EOY 2018. Just marketing. Like the rest of the market, it really depends on Bitcoin.
