It looks like XRP has some more good news today.

Apparently it's now confirmed, there's some Cash being used to manage coin transfers (cash backing)

• The Japanese exchange FXCoin plans to use the XRP token for global cash management and domestic and international remittances.
• FXCoin will establish a swap market for XRP to hedge price movements in order to take advantage of the benefits of the cryptocurrency.

Told you all money remittance was the goal and Ripple was being quiet because their focus was getting this done. Another confirmation announced today. Ripple's been paying moneygram to get the ball rolling faster.

MoneyGram revealed the figure in its Q2 earnings report published on Thursday. The Nasdaq-listed firm said Ripple paid $15.1 million, but $6.3 million was offset by related transaction and trading expenses, leaving $8.8 million as a net benefit.

MoneyGram categorizes Ripple payouts as "market development fees" and "contra expense" rather than revenue. The firm receives these incentives in XRP based on the volume it does via Ripple's On-Demand Liquidity (ODL) platform.

Layman's terms: Ripple is in this hoe! As i said before, there was news (that's since been erased) that i found which said ripple has contracts with moneygram and other already done. This confirms, They have Moneygram in the backpocket and it will be announce din due time, they are the official 'transfer token/currency' for all these wires. Banks too will catch on because Zelle won't be sufficient. It's not digitally advanced enough.

As i said earlier ... watch for a dip coming soon. There's 30 NEW WHALES with $240k - $2-million in XRP in their account, bulking up the price. Watch for sale point coming soon and then buy bak when ti bottoms out. Hopefully it goes up extremely high.

full story - - These investors now hold between $240,000 and $2.4 million in XRP each, which has contributed to upwards pressure on price. After a fairly uninspiring few months, XRP has seen a price rise of over 30% from $0.19 to $0.25 in a fortnight. At least 30 big investors with deep pockets believe the price rise is set to continue.

More Japanese citizens could end up with Ripple-affiliated XRP tokens – after an exchange announced a token giveaway for new account holders, while one of the nation’s biggest crypto players said it is planning to pay eSports players and their managers in XRP.


FXCoin said it will give away XRP 50 (around USD 12) to all new account holders. In an official release, the crypto exchange stated that the offer was subject to availability, and would be awarded on a “first-come-first-served basis” until the evening of August 31.

As the money keeps rolling in and people say it's not real.

Quick fact: Ripple (XRP) plays dual roles as a payment platform and a currency. The platform is an open-source platform that is created to allow quick and cheap transactions.


Unlike its crypto rival, Bitcoin, which was never intended to be a simple payment system, Ripple has gained the attention of major global banks such as Standard Chartered and Barclays for international transactions worldwide.

I think what i predicted finally happened last night.

However, what's staggering to me..... The coin's fighting to hold on while others are falling off. This entire last quarter, XRP's been bulstering it's chest , showing it's COMPLETELY INDEPENDENT of Bitcoin and able to outdo bitcoin.

No other coin has done this consistently I'm aware of.

XRP may be set to break into a whole new atmosphere of its own if it stabilizes today.

If it happens, i expect more whales to come over and possibly a mass migration.

Perhaps even, some of these new whales that came over are actually corporations/banks; beginning the testing.

I smell something's up but i"m not sure what it is. Stay tuned. I'm watching closely for news.

I was planning to sell but I'm not sure i want to do it now... something's up. It's hard to press the 'trade' button for sure.




Added news:

Meanwhile, a new report shows that Ripple, the company behind the third-largest cryptocurrency, spent a total of $170,000 in trying to persuade United States crypto regulators in 2019. The lobbying activity was done by six lobbyists. Specifically, the company spent $100,000 in the first quarter of 2019, $20,000 in Q2 and $50,000 in Q3.


This information was revealed by a nonpartisan research group, Center for Responsive Politics, which acquired the data from the Senate Office of Public Records. The report further notes that this amount was spent on persuading the Executive office of President Donald Trump. This amount is, however, 62% lower than the $450,000 the firm spent on similar endeavors in 2018.

So..

Ripple released 1-billion XRP from escrow the other day. The price of .30cents seems to be sustaining.

There's def something up.

My hypothesis:
Will all the news that's been surging this last quarter, it's ALL PLANNED. I think Riple has a contract that will soon be announced that will cement / stamp their business model a staple to future digital currency markets.

They have those escrows because all was well planned in preparation to handle daily transactions by major, global companies. People think it's al ot but it's really NOTHING compared to how many money transactions banks and remittance companies do daily. They will eat like 85% if not more of all coins they have in escrow.

I was scared when I saw it jump to .32 thten fall down to .29. That was my 'sign'. I sold but then when i saw it stabilize for 24 hours, i immediately bought back in.

This may indeed go up to 40 cents before the week's end. We'll see. At this point, i'm speculating on their business but it's CLEAR their business has USEFUL PURPOSE and they are in the pockets of a lot of game changing entities.


NEWS 1:

The next resistance zones after this crucial $0.30 area are found between $0.46-0.50. Likewise, the next rally for XRP will likely pause at these levels.

NEWS 2:

Ripple offers businesses of all sizes the ability to quickly and cost-effectively process transactions across borders in real time using smart remittance technologies. Ripple already cooperates with well-known payment service providers such as MoneyGram or the largest European bank, Santander Bank. A new report states that Ripple’s technologies are ahead of the current technology status of banks worldwide and could serve as a model for a central bank supported digital currency (CBDC).

Ripple payment system could serve as a model for CBDC
An independent panel of financial industry leaders, “Group of Thirty“, is calling on central banks and regulators around the world to step up regulation and research into a CBDC as China’s digital yuan is the most advanced. A new report by the Group of Thirty sees great potential in Ripple for central banks to use a CBDC of their own as a model:

Gueess who just got a massive television ad campaign?

Grayscale’s planned TV campaign for Bitcoin, Ethereum and Ripple is supposed to inform about cryptocurrencies via several national news networks this week.

full story - https://www.crypto-news-flash.com/massive-tv-campaign-launched-for-bitcoin-ethereum-and-ripple-xrp/

The founder and CEO of Digital Currency Group, the parent company of Grayscale Investments, Genesis Trading and CoinDesk, Barry Silbert, announced a few days ago a national TV campaign for Bitcoin (BTC), Ethereum (ETH) and Ripple (XRP). Silbert wrote on August 7

The network giants CNBC, MSNBC, FOX and FOX Business have a total reach of more than 6.5 million people, with more than half of that being the FOX audience. According to current data from Statista, young viewers up to the middle age (up to 49 years) are mainly represented, so the young population also learns about the advantages and opportunities of cryptocurrencies.

What this translates into to me?
A lot of newbs and people uninformed will likely hop into the market. They'll likely target the lower costing coins , creating a temporary inflation. This should be good for a quick profit.

Will it last? Its hard to tell........................I'd think the stablized price would go up some, if the commercial is informative enough.

Bank of America confirms partnership with Ripple -
https://cryptocomes.com/news/ripples-partnership-with-bank-of-america-appears-to-be-legit

Any doubts about Ripple’s secretive partnership with Bank of America (BoA) have been dispelled.

According to the company’s email, whose authenticity has been verified by multiple community members, the second-largest U.S. bank that boasts $2 trln worth of assets under management, joined the RippleNet network earlier this year.

Interestingly enough. Warren Buffet also dropped $2.1 billion into Bank of America stocks as well, just as this was being made public

news - https://markets.businessinsider.com...uying-years-pay-off-experts-2020-8-1029477087

Warren Buffett shelled out $2.1 billion on Bank of America stock over 12 consecutive trading days, boosting his stake in the banking giant to almost 12% as of August 4.


However, the famed investor and Berkshire Hathaway CEO may have to wait years for a meaningful return, experts said on Wednesday.

If you believe in The Oracle i suggest you strt getting your hands on some XRP

 

[Magister]

It doesn't solve the consumer problem though. It's not faster than cash nor easier than credit/debit cards. Introducing a technology that's slower, harder, and has less consumer protections means there will never be mass adoptions. It's why buttcoin is such a failure.

One of the reasons I'm considering Bitcoin is the censorship I see from giants. Paypal is banning everyone that is against leftist propaganda. An example is Zero Hedge. Youtube, Paypal, Twitter, Facebook, Google are all banning people they don't agree with. It started slowly, yes, but it will continue for sure.

So imagine one day you tweet something that they consider racist or whatever the word is, and then they block your credit/debit card? Because that is coming in the future. Bitcoin might be the answer.

You all are making this too complicated.

Roll with the money.

According to the Financial Times report, Santander will still use “some of [Ripple’s] software in the payments service,” although it did not specify how exactly Ripple is involved with the project.

Word has it, Santander has a huge contract with ripple.. I found it in some since deleted news files while ago.

- story: https://cryptonews.com/news/this-is-why-santander-hesitates-to-use-xrp-7415.htm

the big pull back for Santander to make to make it all public is because they aren't over-invested yet. But as soon s XRP is more commonly understood, all the news will roll out as quick as lighting can strike the eiffel tower.

I agree.

I have been slowing watching this from another angle for well over a decade or more now. My angle isn't entirely bitcoin/crypto though, but cencorship at large and the growth of cancel culture and everything similar/surrounding it that has been silently going on for many years now.

One day soon if you are not with the majority:

• You will not have a job
• You will not be able to run your business
• You will not be able to promote yourself
• You will not be able to shop at certain stores in person
• You will not be able to bank
• You might not be able to purchase a home or rent an apartment

Many things are fueling this.

It's kinda like the Chinese bamboo tree. It grows only roots for 4-5 years. You never see a sprout or a tree/sapling during this period. You think it's dead.

Then after 5 years it massively starts growing all at once.

I feel we are in the "underground root growth"period right now. Suddenly this will sprout and be unstoppable.

If you are on the "perceived" wrong side of this, it will be very troublesome.

You keep talking about how all these big companies are getting involved with Ripple, which is a software company that facilitates money transfers. You also say everyone is putting their money into XRP, which is a coin.

Aren’t XRP and Ripple two different investments? For instance, the banks can use Ripple technology without having anything to do with XRP, no?

This is a genuine question. I don’t know anything about how crypto works.

Information gifted by a BUSO source that wants to remain silent.

LOL. If you guys are going to run Crypto scams you gotta be more creative. Like:

--

This is classic leverage - trying to use authorities of known person as leverage for whatever scam is going down. Similar to the Bank of America article - it literally said nothing about buttcoin or crypto- but by trying to tie loose connections you end up looking like Charlie:

It's like people that get into MLM and pyramid schemes: "There is a sucker born every minute" as P. T. Barnum said.

The simple fact that these clowns are trying to become trillionaires by doing no work should send up red flags. It's like Forex where 80% of trades are losses but the latest craze is Forex trading. It's some sort of symptom of the low-achievers in the world. They want success but want "easy success" so much more - they don't want to work 100+ hours a week to gain real success. They want to go and stunt on Instagram and live the 4 hour work week, when in reality it's hard work that counts.

The latest craze is dropshipping from Asia... wait that's over right? Now it's selling digital courses right? Fuck. Wild. What the fuck are you guys doing with your lives?

Those likes on IG aren't going to put food on the table.

But people don't want to hear that, so they want to believe the fantasy, that's fine.

ZAP, lol, next month it will be another nerd-coin. Jebus christ guys - stop getting scammed by all these low-level get rich quick schemes.

 

[GNews]

Low level get rich?

Scam?

So YOU ARE MORE SMART THAN GOOGLE... smarter than Santander's analysts.. smarter than Warren Buffet and Bank of America's Ivy League graduates ? ?

You may be a little drunk off your success my friend.

Between a small grup I saw 5 figs raked in off XRP last month. Doing nothing but maybe 5-6 buys of coins.. then just watching & letting it grow.

I dont know whatyou consider a scam but to me.. it's money i earned, making trades. This is a still emerging market you can sleep on or stay a part of the "i could have been a millionaire had i chosen Bitcoin.... because i knew about it back in 2000' group

I WAS a part of that group but i said after i saw the HUGE LOSS i took by not taking the risk.. I'd never let such a thing pass me by again

I know a few people day trading coins now too.. living off that and sold off all their web properties. One of whom used to be the top earner of Google Adsense , worldwide.

ZAP... had yoou purcahsed $1 last November.. that $1 would have turned into $100 today....................... and it's expected to continue rising to $1. Believe it or not. Good luck

 

[CCarter]

Warren Buffet isn't into crypto - this is you making a connection that doesn't exist. Banks lose money all the time on bad investments - it's why there is a thing called "write-offs".

I made money off of buttcoin, I said it several times. I bought at ~$185 and sold most at $900+ after it hit like 1200. Walked away with $30K+. But I never once believe it would change the world - I'm not stupid. I knew I was in there to make money off the speculation. When I was done I was out.

The difference between me and everyone that seems to be pushing XRP, ZAP, or whatever the latest nerd-coin scam is you guys are trying to get others on board and cash out - you don't actually believe in the currency.

You guys are literally in it for the money - just like I was. But I wasn't lying to people that I believe in buttcoin in order for them to jump on. I wasn't going out of my way to convince people.

I saw a bunch of dumbasses talking about buttcoin. I looked into it, saw that it was missing the key ingredient in a technology to be successful which is, drum roll please, "The technology being introduced has to be faster or easier than the current solution".

Buttcoin is not faster than cash, and it's not easier than credit cards. Don't even talk about Africa or other other developing places cause they use mobile phones - people talking about cryptocurrency is going to "save Africa" clearly have never been to Africa. Just more horseshit.

What I saw in buttcoin was a bunch of nerds trying to become billionaires, I got in at $185, when it peaked at $1200, I knew it was time to get out I got out at $900 and some change and went on my merry way.

Buttcoin eventually went to $20K, but I was out by then - AND more importantly I didn't dwell on "potential gains/losses I could've, should've had if I HLOD" - that's fantasy. How in the world am I suppose to know when the top or bottom of a position is? Again fantasy.

I took my profits and ran off like a thief in the night.

But the fact that 7+ years later people are trying to sell cryptocurrency - WOW. 7 years on the internet is an eternity, and buttcoin and crypto haven't done shit since BECAUSE they technology is not #1 faster NOR #2 easier than the current solutions.

But ZAP is going to come and change everything... Give me a fucking break.

The world is such a fucked up place cause people aren't willing to call out bullshit when they see it. I am.

ZAP. Jebus fuck.

At least you admit the facade by talking about the ring/group you are apart of that's pumping and dumping this nerd-money.

If Warren Buffet was always right he would be a trillionaire. If a bank was never wrong, Bank of America in your scenario, why aren’t they a trillionaire company? People, banks, and Oracles all make bad mistakes. When you think someone is infallible - well you know what they did to the last person that was “perfect”, they crucified him.

BOA is a huge bank that does different transactions daily, one fucking article about cyrpto doesn’t mean THAT is the reason Buffet is in on BOA. The article literally never mentions crypto. You are making a connection that doesn’t exist.

Buffet doesn’t even understand how Facebook works: https://www.investopedia.com/ask/an...largely-avoid-investing-technology-sector.asp

But somehow, even though he avoid Tech stocks, he is in crypto? Fucking fantasy.

Pump and dump scams usually require the “pump” portion, so yes your “assets” will increase until they drop. It’s like musical chairs, it’s all about what your are hloding when the music stops spinning.

At least don’t tell the world that XRP, buttcoin, or “ZAP” is going to change the financial instruments, regrow the rainforest, or save the world, or whatever scam tagline it is touting.

ZAP, jebus.

“ZAP is going to save us all and make Buffet a trillionaire...” sure... it doesn’t sound like a nerd-money pump and dump scam at all.

ZAP.

Anyone stupid enough to invest money in something called ZAP deserves to get their money ZIPPED and then ZAPPED.

Remember this forbes story about the gy who invested $3k in bitcoin and ended up with $25-million?

https://www.forbes.com/sites/bishopjordan/2017/07/07/bitcoin-millionaire/#4522ed586261

I urged Smith to show me some proof to back up his claims; after all, he could just be a smooth talker with some family money to vaunt. After going through several rounds of security checks on his iPhone and requesting that I hand him my phone at the same time—“NFC scares me more than it should”—he turned it to me with his Bitcoin wallet exposed. Lo and behold, I saw what he had promised: a balance of 1,000.00 BTC, worth $2.6 million as of this writing. Everything checked out: here was a man who had truly become filthy rich from Bitcoin, the proverbial Bitcoin millionaire.

Where did the rest of his 20,000 Bitcoins go? Smith walked me through a series of recent selloffs because, as he says, excessive speculation has pushed the price to an unsustainably high level. It was clear that he had a lot of thoughts on the notion of a current price bubble, but I decided to push for what I was really curious about instead: how much has he profited from Bitcoin overall? The answer came without any hint of hesitation or arrogance.

“$25 million, give or take.”

$25 million from an initial investment of $3,000—those are the sort of returns that make a Bitcoin millionaire. Of course, Smith still owns 1,000 Bitcoins, which he plans to sell, “When the price reaches $150,000,” a millionfold appreciation from his original buy-in price. “I really do think it will get there, he says confidently, "But a lot of governments and companies will have to be on board, first. No amount of speculation in the world will push it that high.”

When I ask Smith why he chose to sell when he did, and whether he’ll feel remorse if the price jumps tenfold again, he shakes his head. “I have everything I’ve ever dreamed of now. I fly all over the world visiting friends, I do whatever I want with my time and I never have to worry about money for the rest of my life. I’d be an absolute fool not to cash out now.”

None of this is real enough for you though?
