Dubai pump on XRP ?

{Ed033's Note - Right

Agree0 Disagree0


07 Nov 2023 09:03:33
Hope so, also lot's of indicators etc showing a big pump around 15th, 16th, 17th of this month.
I know I've said it before but it may be that XRP is leaving price points behind which it'll never visit again.

{Ed033's Note - thanks Supasub, hopefully we can get over $7 XRP sometime next year?

Agree1 Disagree0


07 Nov 2023 11:19:34
That would be nice ed, a lot of the "experts" are suggesting the $7 you mention in the 1st quarter of 2024. British Bank iso implementation spring 2024 (although could be pushed back to the summer 2024) according to their roadmap. (I presume April 1st for the start of financial year) . All the indicators suggest a surge upwards from now into next year, especially 1st quarter of 2024. Not a lot happens over the xmas period.

{Ed033's Note - i was thinking $7 is last quarter of 2024, but i'll take $7 in April

Agree1 Disagree0


07 Nov 2023 12:49:32
I'd take last quarter ed anyway :) what we don't see or can't project is what's potentially going on, which isn't necessarily anywhere in the historical charts.
ISDA membership ($1.2 Quadrillion? market), BRICS, ISO/Swift etc, XRP price needs to be a lot higher to help facilitate the transactions value wise.

Only a couple of weeks ago, China did I think their 1st transaction buying 1 million barrels of oil using crypto/cbdc. Bought from the UAE via a Singaporian network (Ripple not long agreed Singaporian membership (SGX? ) with the biggest bank in Singapore. Ripple has partnerships with all the biggest banks in Asia, Europe, South America, Australia, Europe, America, Russia.
Maybe the start of bypassing the US Dollar which is what BRICS is about.

{Ed033's Note - Thanks.

Where would everyone recommend for storing your crypto
Cheers

{Ed033's Note - Exodus wallet?

Agree0 Disagree0


02 Oct 2023 16:57:46
Where would one store or access it if the 'grid' went down?

Genuine question. Does it all just get 'reset'?

I apologise for the dementor like diminishing of confidence in anything. My bad.

{Ed033's Note - Ok, your crypto doesn't actually get stored inside a 'wallet'. Your crypto is always 'stored' in its Blockchain. A wallet accesses Blockchains.

If the 'grid' goes down, you wait for the 'grid' to come back up and hey presto, you have access to your crypto again.

Prior to the 'grid' going down, you can store your crypto in a Paper Wallet if you know how to do it. Look up 'how to store crypto on a paper wallet' in a search engine.

Agree0 Disagree0


03 Oct 2023 16:57:37
Thanks for the info, Ed033. I didn't know about the paper wallet option. that's a good option for the bug out grab bag or buried at a secret location.

So I guess the only way to erase the blockchain would be a realm-wide EMP type event but even then surely there are machines completely shielded from such events?

Maybe this is more a discussion for the Talk-Sense pages as my thinking is heading in that direction.

{Ed033's Note - It's highly likely that a quantum computer is able to steal our crypto from us.

Agree0 Disagree0


04 Oct 2023 14:01:41
In theory I think a Quantum computer could create more Bitcoin? Not entirely sure but that would lower the price if more were created.

Agree0 Disagree0


04 Oct 2023 14:24:18
It would'nt work for say XRP and Ethereum as the are now PoS (proof of stake) limited supply whereas BTC is still PoW (Proof of work) which is still mined but running out of equations.
I remember reading somewhere that a Quantum computer could create quite a lot more BTC and much quicker.

Agree0 Disagree0


14 Sep 2023 12:55:46
Just a general open question, what do you guys think the best platform is to sell crypto and extract payments?

Agree0 Disagree0


15 Sep 2023 10:06:03
I recently used Coinbase as I haven't tried anything else for a while and it worked fine for me.
First if you need to convert to XRP or XLM as it's cheap to send and send to Coinbase if you've nothing in your Coinbase account.
Convert to Cash GBP in Coinbase.
Send straight to your bank account depending on who you bank with.
If your bank (like many) have temporarily blocked crypto exchange payments then set up a Revolut account.
The process of sending from Coinbase to Revolut to your bank account once set up can take like a minute or so to do and appear in your bank account almost instantly.
You may need to send like £5/£10 from your bank account to Revolut to use the quick setup function which worked well for me.
Hope that helps.

{Ed033's Note - Thanks Supasub.

Agree0 Disagree0


15 Sep 2023 12:42:29
I'm guessing you can send crypto straight to Revolut and convert but I've not tried it yet. I just do it as I explained as it works for me in a hurry.

Agree0 Disagree0


08 Sep 2023 14:11:33
In response to Marco's question further down about potential short term price for XRP.
Just a quick article link which was 1 of many that was around 1st week of August.
Wells Fargo Bank Treasury Manager says what XRP could reach in 4-7 months time, $100-$500. That would tie in with everything going on in the background regarding Swift and banks cbdc rollout etc.
Wells Fargo is a Ripple partner which uses swift so they have some insight as opposed to a yo*tuber. Not saying this will happen but.

XRP article

{Ed033's Note - Thanks Supasub, in 7 months, i would suspect a few dollars for XRP at best.

Agree0 Disagree0


08 Sep 2023 14:33:37
Lol probably ed, but even double digits would be very nice.
Bitcoin halving which is around the 1st week of April 2024 will propel things hopefully between now and then too.

{Ed033's Note - I'm surprised you didn't offer to bet me £500 in XRP that XRP would hit $10 within 7 months' time :)

Agree0 Disagree0


08 Sep 2023 17:05:27
Lol, no, I'm not a betting man and my offer to you was unique and never done for anyone else. I need XRP to take off to pay you the more than likely £500 end of 2024 :)

Agree1 Disagree0


08 Sep 2023 17:11:09
What would be funny is if Ed32 was suddenly sitting on $20K - $100k in XRP. That would be newsworthy.

{Ed033's Note - That would be amazing

Agree1 Disagree0


09 Sep 2023 17:16:45
Incredibly kind of you to put that thought in to the Realm. Thanks, Supasub. Know you are appreciated by someone you have never met.

Agree0 Disagree0


07 Sep 2023 12:52:36
Hi Supasub,
Where do you think BCH fits into the new financial system?

Agree0 Disagree0


07 Sep 2023 13:46:49
I'm not entirely sure as I wouldn't call myself an expert but BCH (set at 21 million like BTC) costs something like less than 1 pence to send in a transaction but can still take anything like 20-30 minutes +, the cost of the transaction makes it attractive against BTC but it's still slow but I'm guessing it has it's place, I won't be getting any though.

BTC we know is expensive and slow. Can take up to around 40 minutes +, can cost around $50-$60+ to do a transaction (cheaper to just still do a BACS payment today so doesn't make sense) .

Neither have the utility to be dominant but retail and celebs still like BTC.
I'm guessing the Ripplehub is Ripples way of facilitating best price for banks/financial institutions of getting the best transaction price and speed for BTC, ETH, LTC and BCH in an instant.

I suspect more can be added. XRP isn't there but it will be once the case has ended. XRP will be like water/liquid gold that runs through everything.
XLM will be like silver but I think more for person to person payments and so on for some of the others listed ISO20022 approved and Quantum network linked coins/tokens.

XRP's cost and speed and it's groundwork in the last 6 years or so makes it imo the Daddy however much TPTB seem to be trying to push ETH which still has very high cost issues.

And yes, forgot to mention that Ed is absolutely bang on the money. XRP steps/spikes and pulls back then goes again. This last year or so it's spiking every 2 months so we are near the beginning of the next spike. You can skim so much off the top like Ed says and either withdraw your trade keeping a substantial bag or just hold in a stable $1 dollar token as the price goes down and buy back even if you need to wait days, weeks or a couple of months.
You will never be able to sell at the true top and buy at the true bottom though without some luck or a Bot.

Or like I do if your able to just Hold/Hodl. I've tried trading and I nearly always mess it up as I get fomo and get a little too emotional.

{Ed033's Note - Thanks supasub.

Would that make holding some ETH a hedge bet for you regarding crypto?

Agree0 Disagree0


07 Sep 2023 15:39:16
There is plenty I would hold ed lol. I had about 5 ETH that I traded in for QNT a few months ago at about $2k each. I then traded in my QNT for XRP.
I'm probably around 75% XRP, 5% XDC and 20% other stuff. I will only go into ETH and BTC again when XRP goes parabolic.
I like the idea of holding ETH but it is expensive to do anything with.
ETH has gone from POW to POS some time ago which means it can't be mined anymore.

What happens if the SEC change their tune and take it through the whole security status route? To do it now would be much worse timing than when they did it to Ripple as there seems to be more and more attention on ETH's "free pass" from Hinman and the SEC with congress also looking more into it. ETH price would tank overnight.

Vitalik is a shrewd character though, served an internship at Ripple and I think tried to be part of Ripple, he doesn't look human to me lol.
What we need to watch out for is if Vitalik manages to get rid of the very high gas fees, an ETH stablecoin and awareness of ETH integration with a large amount of financial institutions/banks globally as there only seems to be rumours in America.

There is nothing I can see by ETH or anyone else for that matter that even comes close to XRP/Ripple. XLM/Stellar and XDC are the only other ones making good partnerships but on a smaller level but then I can't see what I can't see.

Agree0 Disagree0


07 Sep 2023 15:46:10
Oh add HBAR / Hedera Hashgraph. Keep a close eye on this too as they seem to have a clear path with some very big backers.

{Ed033's Note - Ok, thanks a lot Supasub.

Agree0 Disagree0


07 Sep 2023 17:53:47
Don't know if I've posted this before, but just so people here know what I'm talking about. Link to the list for the Quantum Financial System on Coinmarketcap. A few of which are ISO20022 approved, including some mentioned in these threads.

Top QFS cryptos

{Ed033's Note - Thanks Supasub.

Agree0 Disagree0


06 Sep 2023 17:27:23
Does anyone think XRP will go up again in the short term. I bought mine for the long term but just thought I would see what other people think .Supasub lol

{Ed033's Note - i suppose it depends what you mean by short term. If short term is within 1 year from now, i would say 1 year from now, we could be in the multiple dollar range, but we have seen in the past that XRP spikes up and then comes back down, so if it spikes up, maybe take some off the table and then when it goes back down, put some back in. Easier said than done i admit.

Agree0 Disagree0


07 Sep 2023 09:18:30
Thanks ed by short term I meant in the 3-6 months range and long term I meant like a 5yr investment. I am long term unless something extraordinary happens .

Agree0 Disagree0


07 Sep 2023 09:34:48
Adoption will be key through BRICS + SCO (others will jump on board), ISO20022, the Quantum financial system, the Ripplehub (which facilitates BTC, ETH, LTC and BCH transactions) and many others like credit card companies, apps and websites etc.

Ripple has only recently become a member of the ISDA which is a $1.2 quadrillion financial giants market (current crypto market is $1.4 trillion, peaked around $3 trillion).

From now to what XRP could and will become part if not most of it sends it into a massive unknown for any cryptocurrency.
XRP being tailor made for this in the tokenisation of all stocks/shares and a reserve currency which other countries can use apart from the dollar, hence this prolonged SEC case as they saw what was coming.

It's just a matter of time. The Bank of England who have not long ago trialled ripple/xrp have on their roadmap to start cbdc / iso20022 in spring 2024 (i'm guessing April 1st 2024 for the start of the new financial year) . The Bank of England are a little behind other banks. I think a lot of positives are going to happen for Ripple/XRP in the next 6-9 months. It is a gold rush of our generation imo.

The Ripple president has announced this week that basically if any financial institutions/banks don't use Ripple/XRP then they will basically die or just disappear.

Just get what you can, try and store on a cold wallet if it's a substantial amount to you and sit tight and wait. 3 months to 24 months or so is nothing in the grand scheme of things.

Agree0 Disagree0


07 Sep 2023 09:41:21
Just to add like I put on another page today. Natwest are apparently limiting deposits and withdrawals from September 11th (ironic date I know). Surely other banks will follow. The banks are leaving towns and high streets as they know they won't be needed as everything will be digital. They don't want your cash or cheques. Soon you will have a crypto wallet attached to microsoft edge and you have others like amazon and X formerly twitter going down this route. Both will be using Ripple/XRP. Elon is shedding his BTC and rarely mentions Doge and has changed Twitter to X. X = XRP and probably XLM and XDC.

{Ed033's Note - thanks Supasub.

Agree0 Disagree0


03 Aug 2023 23:29:47
So ed will xrp v sec still be going to court or is it all over now

{Ed033's Note - I think the original xrp v sec case hasn't finished yet

Agree0 Disagree0


05 Aug 2023 01:13:45
Ok thanks ed

{Ed033's Note - after the original xrp v sec case is over, we can then reevaluate the situation

Agree0 Disagree0


01 Aug 2023 13:49:08
Hi Supasub,
Do you still think that Starling bank are good to bank with?

Agree0 Disagree0


01 Aug 2023 14:50:55
They have clamped down on direct payments in and out involving exchanges since around Feb this year (I expect them to change it back at some point like the others do) .
I had no problem going via my Revolut account last night (using Revolut for 1st time yesterday to transfer) to starling and back the other way.
Starling is simple to use and if it were'nt for them applying the brakes on what I do then there would be no need to go via Revolut.

Used the easy transfer link between them and it arrived in literally seconds. I struggled with the Revolut P2P function on Binance (Binance have temporarily made it near impossible to convert to EUR or GBP from what I could see yesterday) but worked it out a lot easier via Coinbase. Coinbase to Revolut to Starling was zero fees too and very quick.
Probably more in depth answer than you needed but had to manage it for the 1st time in a couple of months yesterday.
I expect Starling and a few of the rest of the banks will make it easier again soon because of what's coming.

{Ed033's Note - Thanks Supasub

Agree0 Disagree0


31 Jul 2023 10:48:43
Ed, what happens if someone tokenises the stock market, real estate/property, including Gold/silver, precious metals etc? The stock market alone is worth something like $89 trillion.
I'm guessing facilitating payments of stock purchases using say XRP or another. BTC and ETH would be far too slow and/or expensive.
Food for thought but if it were to happen we'd be retired and on the other hand potential 1 world global currency.

{Ed033's Note - i think they plan to tokenise most everything. What else can they use at the moment that we know about other than XRP or XLM?

Agree0 Disagree1


31 Jul 2023 13:46:24
Exactly ed. Makes you wonder. Someone at Wells Fargo today or yesterday has said they expect XRP to be between $100-$500 within 7 months!
Forbes last week pulled an article quickly where someone showed how XRP could hit $59k!
I don't see how else these prices are anywhere near realistic.

Agree0 Disagree0


31 Jul 2023 14:08:35
Also it makes the timing of the SEC case against Ripple even more suspect. The coinbase and binance cases were brought in the last few months, XRP and nothing else nearly 3 years ago?
If they wanted to inflict most damage on XRP/Ripple then they would have brought the case in the last few months and not when they did.

{Ed033's Note - Right, makes sense. Next year should be good. :)

Agree0 Disagree0


27 Jul 2023 16:17:10
So xrp is about 0.71 cents per coin. Not long till it hits a dollar I think. 0.60 cents will be the bottom now so hopefully we should see a $1.00 bottom line soon

{Ed033's Note - Sounds good.

Agree0 Disagree0


27 Jul 2023 19:19:20
Let's hope so ed but once it hits a dollar as a base rate I think it will only go up from there imho

{Ed033's Note - it makes sense that it will. If we see new highs for XRP next year, that's a fantastic start

Agree0 Disagree0


25 Jul 2023 15:36:40
Don't know why this hasn't been bigger news but very brief but interesting announcement Ref: Swift, R3 and XRP. I only came across this today but it was around 6 days ago just after the decision in the Ripple - SEC case. I believe R3 also uses XDC.

Swift R3 article

The link is Swift- R3, R3 which uses Corda - Corda which uses XRP. I'm guessing this is some sort of ISO20022 implementation which has been pushed back more than once to July 2023 (coincidently, same month as we get the Ripple vs SEC decision). It's only a matter of time to see the rise in XRP.

{Ed033's Note - Thanks Supasub.

Agree0 Disagree0


27 Jul 2023 15:12:31
Do you Ed or Supasub think the result in the lawsuit so far was a draw in that both sides got what they wanted.

The result in the crap court case would that be seen as a draw as both parties got what they wanted and will the case still goto trial?

{Ed033's Note - No, i think the SEC wanted and outright win. I think Ripple were more than satisfied so far with this case.

The SEC will decide whether to appeal the present decision.

Agree0 Disagree0


27 Jul 2023 22:48:01
Is this case still going to trial ed or is it over apart from the appeal process.

{Ed033's Note - This case is still ongoing because the Judge hasn't decided on Ripple's early 'institutional' sales. It's likely that this decision will go the SEC's way.

The SEC might appeal this case to a higher court to get the previous decision overturned [The 'XRP is not a security' decision].

Agree0 Disagree0


28 Jul 2023 20:18:43
A draw? No, imo about 80% in Ripples favour. Without going into too much detail and not knowing what SEC will do next. Its a partial judgement but Torres has stated that XRP is not a security if sold indirectly like on an exchange etc going forward.

The only XRP sales deemed a security would have been pre-2017/2018 sold directly to Ripple's investors. What happens to those? Could they be burned? I hope so but I doubt it. How much will Ripple have to pay for those sales as a penalty on $780 million+ of sales? When XRP is added to the Ripplehub along with BTC, ETH etc how could they be treated differently if BTC is not a security? Is Ripplehub directly selling tokens or is it a secondary market?

We still have a window for settlement but it'll definately be in Ripples favour. Leaving SEC to go after others.
The problem for the SEC if they appeal and lose (which could take years and they probably will lose on appeal as they normally do), it'll set this all as stone in law and they don't want that. They want it to be as messy as possible for everyone so they have a level of control in the crypto banking sector for what's coming.

I expect some sort of settlement but who knows as this could have all been orchestrated from a few years ago as the timing of all this working out as it is seems fishy to me (but then I question everything) . Either way XRP is here to stay and might well be and imo it could be no.1 of crypto going forward underlaying and working with everything going forward including whatever Elon has planned for x.com/twitter. There is a link to Ripple with almost any Bank/financial institution if you search/dig deep enough in the last few years.

{Ed033's Note - Thanks for the informative post.

Agree0 Disagree0


29 Jul 2023 13:49:42
Just to add, we don't know what's happening with Gensler. He may not be in office in a year or 2 let alone a few years. Someone might come in under different orders. The person who brought the SEC vs Ripple case did so on their very last day in office and went to their ETH leaning company leaving other people to carry the baton.
Who knows what these puppets are instructed to do next by their masters.

{Ed033's Note - Thanks Supasub.

Agree0 Disagree0


13 Jul 2023 20:44:27
Now we see where XRP can fly to! ??

{Ed033's Note - Yes, good luck to the XRP holders.

Agree1 Disagree0


23 Jul 2023 02:56:42
Hey so what do u think is going to happen now with price of XRP?

{Ed033's Note - Possibly XRP goes to around $0.60 or just below then from there to a new high next year sometime?

Agree0 Disagree0


20 Jun 2023 09:42:12
So hinman document release didn't quite get the impact expected but most reports predicting an imminent decision still.

See a few whales have moved some significant quantities of XRP around as well which is interesting.

I see price prediction ranges of 4-27 dollars being banded around after case closes though 27 dollars seems unrealistic to me.

Thoughts?

{Ed033's Note - I'd be happy with $4 XRP if the case closes before the end of this year.

Agree0 Disagree0


13 Jul 2023 17:06:03
XRP is not a security. More ro follow I expect.

{Ed033's Note - Awesome.

Agree0 Disagree0


25 May 2023 13:31:27
Just for you ed or anyone else interested (you may already know), Hinman documents to be made public by 13th June.
Do we think they will be made public or will there be a settlement between now and then.
Article today with Brad Garlinghouse saying he expects verdict within weeks, I know we've heard it before but this is the end game now.

{Ed033's Note - i don't know whether this is correct, but i think there is a rumour that somewhere in the Hinman documents, they'd show that when Ethereum and Bitcoin got a pass from the SEC, originally XRP was going to be part of that pass, but then XRP was removed for no good reason. So if true, the SEC was part of the corruption to hold back XRP from that point in time.

It would therefore make perfect sense if the SEC have been trying to stop that Hinman documents from being released all this time, they'd do a deal with Ripple before June 13th to prevent their release.

But who knows as i suspect the SEC think they're above everything so can get away with anything.

Agree1 Disagree1


25 May 2023 14:17:43
I think the same ed (i think it's something to do with Goldman Sachs too, encouraging the case with their proposed Canton network with microsoft which doesn't have anywhere near coverage of Ripple with banks etc) .

Settlement behind closed doors then the SEC can go after pretty much everyone else including meme coins for their original coin offerings.

Bogging them down with potential 3+ years of litigation and massive legal fee's or register with the SEC which can be 2+ years and about $2 million in fees.

With BTC being slow and expensive to facilitate payments (including ETH) it could crown Ripple/XRP king and clear the way for them.

{Ed033's Note - That makes logical sense and then XRP can find its current true market value, which currently may only be [a hard to believe] $1?

Agree0 Disagree0


25 May 2023 14:40:38
I really don't know ed for potential market value. I'm hoping $1 is the bottom. I still don't understand why Stellar has a free pass though.

{Ed033's Note - Maybe Stellar is a secret chosen one for the future?

Agree1 Disagree1


10 Apr 2023 21:35:02
Supasub, I seriously don't know after what Klever have done recently, why the price of KLV is so low?

Agree1 Disagree1


12 Apr 2023 12:11:57
I don't know ed. There is a lot going on with it at the moment including I think a re-branding of the exchange. Cold storage wallet is now more easily available and I think a lot more upgrades and things going on over these next few months. I'm not on tw***er so I don't see some of the things going on straight away.
It seems like it's on the right track from it's low a few months ago of just 0.0024
It just seems very slow going, I'm still down a lot on it as I've not sold any but I'm still hopeful that we are at the beginning of a much larger climb now, I will be getting more in the next few weeks whilst imo these prices are a still low.

Seems like it's got resistance at 0.007 this last week after some trading which I think was suspended for a few days on the exchange.
Personally I think it should be nearer 0.3 / 0.4 today but the introduction of pretty much the remaining coins put into circulation a few months back hasn't helped leaving a big slack imo going from about 3 billion to nearly 10 billion (with little to no warning) but at least they are all out there now.

They need more marketing now and hopefully at least another 1 big exchange listing soon. If it's any consolation ed, I've not sold any (and I still won't be unless I see anything scary downwards) and I'm nearly at 2 million holding at an average buying price of around 0.035!
People I know are still very optimistic about it and I haven't forgotten about my commitment of $1 by end of 2024? Here's hoping to some sharp upward movements soon.
A recent link attached for anyone else who might be visiting the page at the moment as it is a bit quiet here.

Ed, what's Revolut like to use, could I pay from Revolut to say my barclays account? Don't think my starling bank works, only other UK banks I believe I can use are RBS and Nationwide with limityations. Unless you've got another suggestion for just taking some money out. XRP looks like it's moving. Big whale just came in.

{Ed033's Note - Not sure what your goal is?

Agree1 Disagree1


21 Mar 2023 14:57:23
Just to withdraw fiat ed. Say if I wanted to get out £5k-£10k in one transaction to my bank account, a lot more seems to have closed off that I normally use. What do you think is the best way?

{Ed033's Note - Does coinbase still allow you to convert crypto to GBP to your bank account. Are you meaning withdraw GBP from Binance to Revolut to a bank account?

I think Revolut or wise.com (i've only used wise.com with no problems before) are good options to use.

Agree1 Disagree1


21 Mar 2023 15:21:15
Yes, that's what i was thinking, coinbase/binance to revolut, then bank account. Just need to set up a revolut account. XRP ed, big whale earlier which I mentioned on the end of my 1st post. Looks like hopefully there is now movement.

{Ed033's Note - Right, XRP could move up significantly ($1 pretty quickly?) as from now.

Agree1 Disagree1


21 Mar 2023 16:05:27
Yep, I'm thinking 0.44 then around 0.80 onto $1 hopefully in a matter of days.

Agree1 Disagree1


22 Mar 2023 10:57:28
US fed rate announcement around 6pm UK time, generally the whole market has pulled back days leading up to the announcements over the past year/18 months but it's stayed relatively the same this week.
BTC still hovering above $28k.
I think with the rates staying the same or just a 0.25% hike because of the banks apparently now struggling you'll then see another surge beginning this evening. Fingers crossed.

Looks like swift still looking to start implementation of ISO20022 on March 20th 2023, makes ironic sense with the clamp down on crypto friendly banks in the US

I know it's from Oct 2022 ed but I don't think anything has changed since that article apart from being pushed back from Nov2022. Is this all one widespread attack on crypto friendly banks and exchanges by the US where possible? I see HSBC has bought the uk arm of SVB for £1? Time to hold imo, be careful and ignore any scaremongering (I normally do anyway).

{Ed033's Note - Ok thanks hold for the moment. Isn't the XRP case over before March 20th?

It should be Ed by the end of this month, at least a judgement, imagine if there is a summary judgement by this Friday and ISO begins implementation on the Monday. The XRP case might go to trial which I think will be a loss for the SEC for a number of reasons. What I think will happen will be that very soon XRP secondary sales (bought on exchanges etc by me, you etc) will be ruled as non securities. XRP sold by ripple direct between 2013 - 2017 might be ruled as securities. A settlement may arise around that so that XRP is deemed not a security going forward but the SEC can still have their little victory for the direct sales between those dates mentioned.

It might be that only XRP are given the non-security status in private, leaving BTC and XRP in the clear, question marks over ETH and most other crypto currency tokens/coins having to register with the SEC at a cost of around $2 million.
Already there are court cases being brought against the SEC to get the Hinman documents made public.

{Ed033's Note - All that makes sense to me.

With the XRP case over in a week or 2, that should spur the Crypto market to maybe double by May 1st ? I'm guessing after that the market comes back down as it normally does after a run up.

Just to add BTC up 18% in the last 24hrs and climbing. Clearly some people/banks/companies not following the memo or the fud.

{Ed033's Note - Maybe there's some frightened 'Elite' type people with lots of money in the Bank, putting money into BTC to try to keep it somewhere.

Agree2 Disagree1


13 Mar 2023 15:37:31
Yes I think so ed like you say, I think soon we will be out of the worst of this bear market/crypto winter whatever you want to call it, if not already.

Agree1 Disagree1

A board member from Signature Bank has come out and said they had no liquidity issues but were still shut down anyway lol. This like you alluded to ed might be having the opposite effect to what they wanted to happen.

{Ed033's Note - Pity XRP isn't moving with everything else.

Agree1 Disagree1


14 Mar 2023 16:59:58
XRP has a slight delay apparently against the other main crypto's whenever it goes up or down (maybe due to the circulating supply). You might see more gain percentage-wise against the others in the next 24hrs-48hrs.

{Ed033's Note - ok thanks.

Dont' trust crypto they say but trust the banks they say. SVB could be the 2nd biggest US bank to collapse. Mainly tech customers in silicone valley I expect but I'm sure it'll be blamed somehow on cryptocurrency by someone in the banking sector. Surely this has something to do with Biden, Gensler or even SBF connected in some way.

{Ed033's Note - They don't like the stable coins i suspect [except Tether?]. USDC lost 12% of its value, and on Monday, we might see what the exact damage will be. BUSD also took a hit as it is part of USDC, but i suspect Binance has the funds to cover the loss to keep BUSD at $1. I don't know much about the situation or stable coins mind.

11 Mar 2023 13:01:04
i forgot to put that SVB Bank holds several billion dollars backing USDC.

It's strange ed as again Blackrock is involved with Circle and USDC as far as I'm aware. Also Coinbase involved with USDC. It's hard to work out whether it's Blackrock intentionally doing it or someone or something getting at Blackrock. The next could be Signature Bank which is the 3rd crypto friendly bank behind Silvergate and SVB.

Is it intentional against crypto's what with the implementation of ISO20022 due this month (pushed back from Nov 2022) and the XRP case coming to a resolution/close?

New York state has filed some sort of suit against KuCoin (not american by any stetch of the imagination but they trade XRP, I presume available to Americans) and claiming ETH to be a security this week which I find bizarre. Something big is getting stirred to stop the use of crypto in the US imo which doesn't have a lot to do with the run on these banks.

{Ed033's Note - If they can push prices of Crypto right down and demoralise people already in Crypto into getting out, they [Blackrock] can buy low and buy lots of Crypto,

So with this page quiet . What do people think will happen this year. and what do people hope will happen?

Are we waiting for the long drawn out conclusion of the SEC case to kick start some market changes?

{Ed033's Note - To speculate, the Crypto market may pull back a bit into Feb 2023 and then move back up higher in March 2023 until Summer 2023, then have a large pull back to the end of the year 2023. Then 2024 is the big move up for the whole of 2024 and the first few months of 2025.

The SEC case will affect most. Even though it's the US market which is circa 5% of crypto, the US apparently affects around 25% of the crypto market.
I think by the 21st Jan (end of this week) we (may) find out if the Hinman documents will be made public.

If they are then there will probably be settlement behind closed doors in Ripples favour. If not then we continue to judgement by end of March 2023.
It all ties in well with the implementation of ISO20022 March 2023 this year after being pushed back from NOV 2022.

XRP and Stellar are on the board of ISO20022 with other approvals being IOTA, XDC, QUANT, ALGO, HBAR and 1 or 2 others.
Many partnerships have been announced even in this last week, XRP and SOL for instance on being "greener" together.

Quant and LCX exchange have some sort of partnership (big deal). AVAX have teamed up with Amazon and already have Alibaba (another big deal).
Lot's of interesting stuff for potential buys in all of those mentioned. Quant could be one to take the mantle from BTC in the future looking at it's future use, but just my opinion.

Brad Garlinghouse ceo of Ripple/XRP is speaking at the Davos World Economic forum in the next few weeks. 1 of only 2 crypto speakers with the majority of the worlds banks.
Going forward I hope the truth about FTX (possible attack on Terra) and it's links to everything comes out but I doubt it.
The next big bullrun (3rd) will be the biggest but will have the biggest drop the other side.

When, I'm not sure but I expect quite a few coins will hopefully decouple from Bitcoin such as the ones mentioned in this post. Along the way over the next few years I think we will see 80%-90% of the 20 odd thousand different coins just disappear leaving the real use case cryptos.

For any interested in XRP Google xrp white paper and read all the facts on there. It was written before bitcoin was even an idea. Very interesting stuff

Your very welcome ed. I watch a guy on YouTube who really knows his stuff and he says Xrp is likely to win the lawsuit and 99% of people don't have xrp and once the court lawsuit is settled xrp could sky rocket.

{Ed033's Note - it depends on the definition of sky rocket. 1 A 10x increase could be seen as sky rocketing.

Did you read it ed . It is very insightful

{Ed033's Note - i haven't read it.

Who’s the YouTube rout out of interest?

I assume there is a lot of people out there that have hodl XRP, particularly with the low price, head in sand and wait stuff. I expect a surge of some sort when the SEC case finally comes to an end, what that is as ED says is anyone’s guess.
After which your average casual crypto dabbler will probably cash in and leave but for me that’s the point I’m interested in as I have a theory that post case spike and then dip is when a lot of whales/banks could buy in …. but who really knows

Yeah I don't think he meant it would as high as bitcoin . But at the end of the day a profit is a profit and any profit will help during the cost of living crisis

Hi, I'm still lurking, you still have ISO20022 intergration for banks which I believe starts in November this year. The entire crypto market cap as of today which is a low 1 Trillion down from it's high of 3 Trillionish. Swift averages $5 trillion in transactions a day in the global banking system. Even if say crypto/XRP/XLM/HBAR etc gets 10% of that daily then that's 0.5 Trillion per day. If crypto replaces the swift system completely then imagine how much of approved crypto banks would have to have on their balance sheet/ledger.
I'm no expert on it but they can't just create crypto like printing money/quantitive easing, they will have to fill their bags like everyone else which will be volume like we've not seen before unless the banks have already been doing it but I doubt it.

Hi sorry for the delay in posting but I had to scroll through hundreds of you tube videos as my daughter watches them all the time but the channel is called legal briefs. So have a watch at that again sorry for the delay.

{Ed033's Note - ok thanks , marco1888!
