Thanks for the reply I think I’m going to wait and see how it all unfolds, now the like of Blackrock are in the space I’m wary
{Ed033's Note - Right, you have to be wary because it's pure gambling. Any money people put in, they have to be prepared to lose it all.

Just to add, Real world asset tokenisation is growth area in crypto for the future.
Ripple is using a British company Axelar (AXL) to help with tokenisation.
OM (Mantra) has been good for me in recent months.
ONDO is being used by Blackrock for tokenisation (Worlds biggest ownership company/shareholders? ) Go to be one to consider.
Other notable RWA tokens to consider off the top of my head, Pendle, Goldfinch and Realio.
Other American company tokens/coins other than those mentioned above which may be important going forward.
Chainlink, Stellar/XLM and Polkadot.
If I were looking into getting involved today just trying to go of any trustworthy suggestions then I'd have at least half of my holdings in XRP, a good 10% at least of HBAR and a few of the rest.
XRP has been by far the most suppressed crypto of the last 4-5 years giving lots of potential growth. Then you can exit/liquidate bit by bit as the price increases but maybe never completely selling all unless you have to.

Like ed said its going to be volatile. Hard to know what trump is trying to do as it would appear he's trying to crash some markets/economies of some countries.
Bitcoin imo has had its day. Yes it could hit much higher numbers in months/years to come but as far as I'm aware it's now to open to manipulation.
I think Blackrock are potentially one of the biggest holders then if you add Vanguard and potentially State Street you have 3 of the biggest shadowy companies who can pump/dump the price individually or or together, how decentralised would it really be?
Yes BTC is a great store of value like having literally Gold Bars but how easy is it to use in shops, buy a house or make necessary purchases with solid gold bars?
{Ed033's Note - Thanks Supasub.

Yes. What Ed said. Nothing has really come to fruition for XRP yet apart from Trump getting voted in.
Still to come just this year alone. The resolution/dropping of the SEC vs Ripple case. Probably by end of May as I think it'll run it's course so that Ripple/XRP is the only crypto with real legal clarity.
ISO20022 messaging was due to start in America 10th March! But has now been pushed back to 14th July (is this to accommodate for the legal outcome of the SEC/Ripple case? I suspect so) . Apparently, Bank of America is already using/trialling XRP for all internal transactions.
All banks globally to go to ISO20022 messaging (including SWIFT) by or ready for Nov 2025.
Japan is rumoured to already be using XRP for up to or around 80% of its banking system since January?
Most of the world's major banks and institutions including SWIFT have trialled XRP over the years.
Bitcoin can be sent across the XRP ledger also. XRP is created to be interoperable with pretty much every major currency, crypto or fiat on the creation of RLUSD. XRP has to be held in order to use RippleUSD.
Note Tether is getting pulled from some exchanges later this month and got refused MICA approval in Europe.
In short XRP has a long way to rise which could happen very quickly. $2.50ish will be peanuts given what it could reach in the next 12-36 months.
XRP is Quantum proof (whatever that means) but it's relevant as didn't Google just create the 1st quantum chip a couple of months ago? Google who have heavily backed HBAR. The WEF have said both HBAR and XRP are "important".
Elon has plans for "X" platform. Rumour is that he wants a crypto wallet on X accounts to enable peer 2 peer payments. Why change the name of twitter to "X" and buy x.com domain? Could be a link up with payments for XRP or XLM or XDC etc or all 3? XRP=Wholesale large transactions, XLM = Retail/p2p and XDC smart contract capability reportedly already being used by US Federal reserve.
Just some relevant info to help make decisions for mid to long term. It would be foolish imo not to attribute a good percentage of any holdings to XRP as imo it is to become the actual real Bitcoin and everything Bitcoin cannot facilitate as its too slow and expensive to move around to become thee global reserve digital currency.

Np. I'm no expert Ski Sunday I'm not a trader. I've tried most things in the crypto space and made a lot of mistakes along the way which involves losing money.
As I said there is now 2.4+ million cryptos!
When I properly started there was about 500 or so only about 7 years ago.
Most of them 95% at least will dissappear within the next few years including most meme coins leaving the real utility tokens and coins.
It needs more proper regulation which I hope is coming.
04 Jan 2025 14:55:33
Thanks Supasub, appreciate the comments, good luck with your future endeavours, Ill keep a lookout for your posts here, and learn more as I go. ? keep safe all!
04 Jan 2025 10:15:57
Hi Ski Sunday, of the 2.4+ million no cryptos, I don't understand why you are so passionate about this ecosystem without having a bit more scepticism.
What utility does it have?
I literally spent 5 minutes looking into your suggestions in your post just to have a look myself. I'm not going to spend time further looking into what you've added myself or try and disprove anything.
Your correct on Solana, I don't have any myself and that's one of the reasons why.
If I'm looking to swap/buy more I can look at your suggestions emotionally or not emotionally and it appears shady at best.
You seem to know more about it than you give yourself credit for and good luck with your investment, but IMO there is a lot more out there with more credibility, utility and trust with some very prominent developers.
Richard Heart for me has too much similarity to others before him, Roger Malcolm and all the rest.
{Ed033's Note - Thanks Supasub.

Hey Supasub,
To be honest I don't pretend to know much at all about crypto, so all just my opinion, I work in construction, I try to pick up info by reading and researching, I also have a good buddy who made a killing on HEX since launch, he knows crypto big time, also made a killing when he changed linden dollars from the game “second life” to bitcoin in 2012, so I listen to him, but I didn't "bet" too much on pulsechain, who knows, right? might get lucky and be lifechanging!
Just a few thoughts on your comments, from my buddy and myself.
The funds on SAC were not spent by RH. On chain transactions prove this. They were moved. The cars and diamonds clown acting was deliberate by him using his own funds as he was already a multimillionaire via mining solo BTC after inception date. The judge didn’t even touch that in questioning.
The only issue I have with RH was his antics during phase one which did bring heat deliberately or otherwise during 2021.
I’m not saying Pulsechain is a slam dunk. It’s not. Code wise is perfect. It works flawlessly and never had any issues. The builder Richard Heart is an arsehole and has caused controversy. That’s the risk.
Tokenomics, is that not the technicalities of blockchain operation? Does this have anything to do with volume or transactions?
€80 million in volume and number 8 on overall chains including Base, Solana etc etc
pDAI is coded to peg at $1. Not sure what you mean by circulating supply.
PulseX is not in anything, that's true.but it’s a DEX. It’s not supposed to be on anything. If you means fake DEXs like on centralised coin base. It’s a fork of uniswap another DEX.
Again as I said before. There’s more gain in high risk. That’s why I put in what you can afford to loose and no more.
I could bet on Solana doing 10x or ETH doing 3X which is fine. But starting out a small bet on controversy works in my books.
But take Solana It’s the number 4 crypto at the moment. Billions are pouring into it for the last 2 years butThe code has ****ed up on multiple occasions whereby they’ve actually had to restart the blockchain!
It’s a hard game. Especially being in a controversial chain. It’s not hard if you “bet” within your means. Let’s say worst case scenario RH loses. He gets slapped with a fine he pays and then we go up much later just like multiple other chains who went through the same process. The code works that what’s important.
However.It will be painful to watch other chains go up whilst outs corrects hard interim. That’s worst case.
Again let me say i'm learning, most of that above is my buddy, when I was chatting to him .

I'm not so sure ski sunday 2025.
If you look at the way Richard heart syphoned off 2.3 million ETH on the transactions in the court docs submitted by the SEC and other items bought including world's largest black diamond, cars and watches etc.
He also appears to be wanted by Interpol which isn't great.
https://www.sec.gov/enforcement-litigation/litigation-releases/lr-25794
Then check the tokenomics of Pulsechain that has dropped to nothing since boxing day and not a lot before that.
Pdai doesn't appear to have a circulating supply.
PulseX not available on anything I'd use with any trust:
https://coinmarketcap.com/currencies/pulsex/
https://coinmarketcap.com/currencies/pulsechain/
Hex also on pulsechain has had the liquidity drained.
https://coinmarketcap.com/currencies/hex/
IMO I will stay well clear. Any other tips?

*million to 1xrp*
05 Dec 2024 09:49:14
In relation to the OP, It was David Schwartz who mentioned a possible scenario if XRP were to get so scarce that there could be a division say of 50 to 1 XRP.
Called Drops I think like you said. Tried to find a link to attach but you could just search anyway.
Would require a hefty software upgrade and the whole community to agree and would only be if it became so scarce. I think it'll be unlikely anytime soon if at all.
{Ed033's Note - thanks Supasub.

Don't know about that. But just been announced you can buy 1 xrp as a minimum rather than 10xrp. I think the $10k price comes from entire replacement of the Swift messaging/banking system that is outdated.
Xrp would need to be $1k roughly if ripple got 10% of the swift system. Would enable near instant transactions, 7 days a week, 24hrs a day at around 0.001 pence. No need to wait to midday with a £30 charge when buying a house.
No waiting until Monday for the money to show when you buy petrol or anything else on a Saturday/Sunday for instance.
RLUSD $1 needs XRP in order to use it. Most banks will need 50-75 million xrp.
Once held they could set the price of xrp twice daily like gold or even backed by gold (xrp has already been recognised as a stable coin by tptb but at what price?)
Xrp could potentially dissappear from exchanges soon. Another one to watch is HBAR imo. Mentioned by a WEF rep this week saying both XRP and HBAR are important to the WEF. HBAR has some serious big backers, Google, IBM, Boeing, SpaceX (6 days ago) potential partnership with Ripple for instance.
Not financial advise! But I would bag as much of these 2 and hold as they are still both cheap imo.
Things haven't even started to come into play yet. Trump doesn't start until 20th Jan (the day Gensler resigns) and the SEC case still yet to be dropped.
Also a lot of Quantum financial system (list attached lower down page) tokens pumping in recent weeks. XRP, HBAR, IOTA, XLM, XDC, ALGO, QNT, XDC etc.

I know it will be years but I was wanting to know if this drop thing was a real thing or something someone made up
{Ed033's Note - i don't know at the moment.

You would have thought so ed. But the "flip of the switch" has been mentioned a few times in recent years including by I think Brad Garlinghouse? Hard to know what's going on behind the scenes.
{Ed033's Note - They have to move the financial system to a completely new type of system [blockchain is what has been chosen]. It's already here and being used, but they haven't told the general public yet. The question is whether XRP is a tiny part of that system or a major part of that system?
21 Jul 2024 16:50:57
Yes still works. Revolut should bridge with most banks. Once set up which doesn't take long I can get funds across and back in less than a minute.
Most banks are going through a phase of being difficult until they make it easier again.
I turned down nearly 3 or 4 BTC in around 2005 for change on something sold on ebay for a few pounds. Tried to get back into the account and Hotmail but never could. Dismissed buying BTC at around £1 too years ago. I won't make that mistake again.

That's a good way to do it Royjac. I know a few people who do that at payday. That way you are averaging your buying whether it goes up or down.
Personally I'd start with XRP and soon as lots happening over the coming months not least the remedies phase of the SEC vs XRP Case which is rumoured for maybe July 31st (I've only been waiting about 3 years!).
{Ed033's Note - Thanks Supasub.
16 Jul 2024 20:42:22
Thanks bud to be honest I am probably just going to purchase a little bit every week on payday as I don't have 10% of any wealth to lose lol
{Ed033's Note - Good luck with it, royjac73.
13 Jul 2024 22:41:02
Hi royjac73, I've already made predictions that haven't yet come to fruition and possibly never will. All the analysts are generally using different chart theories to make predictions.
If you are looking to invest then either the Ed, myself or others can give opinions on making your investment/purchase.
If you scroll down through threads the Ed has added the different articles attached to help make decisions on what to hold.
For myself my holding is probably now about 80% XRP as everything I've read over the last few years is leading to something that can happen very soon.
For myself it's one of those moments in life you might regret if you don't buy in and miss the train. It's up to you. Read some of the links, research a little. If you post here what your thinking of doing then I'm sure we can give you the pro's and the con's between us.
It's opined that you shouldn't invest in crypto more than about 10% of your entire wealth. I've ridden the crypto winter and I've held xrp since before the SEC case so I've seen the negatives myself. I'm waiting for the 3rd wave that will probably be the biggest.
The best crypto to hold will be the one that can power everything itself, most trusted, transparent almost bullet proof and now in the process I believe of being made quantum proof (how?), not to mention that David Schwartz recently explained how XRP can be sent/received without Internet if need be?
