    The old bitcoin has flatlined of late ....has it found it's true value ...or so many other crypto currencies talking of it's shine ..

    Bump* quite a bit of activity in Crypto currencies over the last few months.

    Price of Bitcoin was $233USD ... if you had invested $10000USD you would have $96695USD today. not a bad return for two years.

    I assume you don't use cash due to the unsavory aspects of what it's been used for? That's just pathetic propaganda use to influence sheeple.

    Hi --

    I recently bought some crypto currency. It's called Ripple and the token is called XRP. Currently it has the 4th largest crypto market cap.
    Ripple / XRP has a real world purpose, unlike (debatably) most of the other cryptocurrencies Ripple is out to disrupt the incumbents of cross border transactions.

    The idea is that banks will use the XRP currency along with Ripple's technology to settle cross border transactions in seconds vs the current settlement time which as everyone knows, is measured in days. Aside from speed, there is another huge advantage to Ripple. Banks can free up dead capital held in nostro accounts if they use XRP as the conversion currency.

    If you want to compare to something like Bitcoin (BTC).. The common analogy is that BTC is like the mySpace or AOL of cryptocurrency. Great if you were in at the start, but was quickly surpassed by better solutions. In this analogy Ripple is Google or Facebook.

    Continuing with the comparison, BTC simply doesn't scale. Transactions take a long time -- already nearly half an hour to settle I believe -- and it's getting worse. Also, a huge amount of Bitcoin is also controlled by 5 pools. Over 51 percent from memory. This is the opposite of decentralization which is what bitcoin was meant to be a champion of in the first place. Right now, Ripple own a large portion of XRP. But they have a plan to make it much more decentralized, even than BTC.

    Anyway thought I'd share! Be interested to hear if anyone's been looking at Ripple or other cryptocurrencies lately.

    hey winner...
    its hard to say... a big media campaign pushed bitcoin cash and had people believing for a moment that bitcoin cash was taking over from bitcoin....
    the reason behind it is because the costs of buying on the exchanges were very high for transactions so miners were switching to bitcoin cash because fees were lower...
    I mentioned sometime ago about bitcoin cash when it was just listed I sort of just overlooked it because I was looking for other investments...
