It's funny because there was a discussion going on in here until:

Can we ban users from threads? Asking for people who are tired of this thread getting derailed every 5 posts.

OT: Nice to finally be above water on my XRP haha. My CSPR play sure took a hit with Prove AI leaving, that sucked but there was no point selling at a loss so I'm just holding the bag and seeing what happens.

Kinda rich, for years this thread was nothing but Crypto mocking and I told you so's its a scam ect.

Now that Crypto is obviously here to stay a couple posters could probably eat some crow instead of continuing to be all smug.

That being said I won't post anymore irrelevant info...TOP5 just leave it, truce. Quit poking the Crypto rich bear.

The funny thing about circular arguments, you need both sides. Its been said before in this thread, I agree with you, but you like being an ####### (note the ####### part above "Crypto rich bear") and therefore people are smug to you. if you stop taking the bait, or baiting yourself we could go on and have a normal discuss.

and in that sense, what do you guy see and the next best thing. investing in Bitcoin now, even if it goes to 1MM is still only 10x. Which is good. It seems to me Eth is slowing down therefore less burn rate, therefore slow down further. So what are your thoughts midterm or long term. Is it XRP, DOGE, ADA, SOL (or another) that is going to be the most value? would It be better to sell a bitcoin position and invest in others now? Is Ether still good?

Well this is straight up hilarious. Looks like a bunch of idiots have lost money after buying Hawk Tuah's meme coin.

Sounds like she didn't do a pump and dump though, rather just the market quick buyers getting all the tokens and selling to the suckers.

Unless these account are hers/insiders in which case she will be in trouble legally as the launch says all her tokens are in a lock up period.

Its also funny that it says "Lost everyone Money" - Well no lots of people made money . As with any meme coin they are literally pyramid schemes so if you buy at the top of the pyramid you will always get "scammed"

All these people who "lost" money were expecting (hoping) to just flip it to the next sucker and now are sad they are the takee vs the taker

Pfft the crypto train is over. You need to feed off the volatility.

I own all of these, DOGE is a joke but will probably go up because people are stupid and think Elon is actually gonna accomplish something in government...just make sure you get out in time.

XRP would be my move long term with likely ETF approval coming

BTC is gonna blow through 1M long term too though so don't cap expectations at 10X...its far safer than the others too IMO

The way the dollar is going its gonna be hard to lose in the short term

If you believe in Crypto just auto buy every month some % of your investment / savings leftovers and don’t worry about fluctuations TBH

In 10 years you wont care what the price was each month

But how else would the tokens get into the market ….

Someone needs to sell them at some point

This is like an IPO and then complaining the company sold the stock ?

What am I missing . How else would there be any tokens to buy in the first place

XRP - Useless chain that no one uses; propped up by Retail and reddit people
DOGE - OG Memecoin; literally no use but it has Musk's backing so who knows
ADA - Useless chain that no one uses; propped up by Retail and reddit people
SOL - Actually useful chain; peak probably isn't significantly higher in the short term. Long term, it will likely be usurped by whatever the new hotness chain happens to be in the next cycle

Doesn't even matter if you believe in crypto. As long as you believe that other people believe in it, it's probably worthwhile.

Good idea.

So I open a WS crypto account. Move over $4.33 from spending rewards.

BTC immediately goes above $101K US from $98K before I can buy.

Thanks everybody.

I like the pessimism, I do actually believe XRP might have the best use case. ADA I'm not sure on as they really explain it as research based, it may just make other chains better from copying it. SOL might in fact be a eth killer. but all in all, no one has ever been able to really explain a smart contract to me in a good use case, so I'm never quite sure about the end actual use. Ripple makes sense as a currency exchange, a simple use case that makes sense and is used a ton.

All the places I'm seeing to buy Bitcoin online require signing up (which makes sense I guess). I've also seen Bitcoin ATMs but not sure how much they charge in fees or whatever and if they also require some kind of sign up. I just hate having more accounts everywhere.

Are there any places I can just walk up give them cash and the wallet to send it to?

Idk man, a chain that refuses to disclose it's transaction counts, is a "ledger" chain with no publicly interactable ledger, has only 62m in locked TVL after existing for 8 years, doesn't really scream "the future"



I guess it's the 58th richest chain in the world, so that's gotta count for something.

According to this page https://bitinfocharts.com/comparison...ctions.html#3y they are handling ~700-800k txns a day, which would make them like a top 30 chain for actual volume but still not all that inspiring. Also without a publicly scrutinized ledger it's hard to tell how much of that is just wash trading or bots moving money back and forth to simulate actual usage.

Thanks for this, My understanding of TVL is definitely lacking, but do you think there decentralize exchange set up for cross board exchanges kind of makes it that they don't really prioritize DeFi and therefore have a lower TVL. Like is it their use case that is more interesting than others that may be inflated with staking and by #### like NFTs. and is ripple's outlook better with maybe a more clear regulatory path that may have been holding it back?

I appreciate the discussion PsY!

Yeah most of the first-gen L1s (XRP, XLM, DASH, etc.) don't really have much DeFi (if any).

I think XRP is more akin to TRON than anything else, based on how they model themselves. The major difference being TRON is handling 50 to 80 million transactions daily for payment processing, mostly in Asia.

I'm curious how XRP is going to do better. They've been beat at their own game for years.
