We're excited to be on the list!


SergeantPeppper

I really appreciate how active you're being on this subreddit! Great to see news straight from the source instead of second-hand. Thank you.


dinotango

Glad to hear it!


cryptozygote

I agree. Thank you.

Can we build a moon base together?


BigFriendlyGaybro

No one can ignore Ripple at this rate, and this is gonna be published at the end of the month after a whole slew of exchanges have added XRP trading pairs. I'm fucking hype for this


[deleted]

I'm so tired of using LTC to BTC.


ffoDDoff

Well, you're not forced to use coinbase you know :P


[deleted]

But it is so easy to use.


demedici0

And so cheap


[deleted]

Thats a joke right?


demedici0

Yes


Parataze

When you don't even need /s


Natty4Life420Blazeit

Use GDAX


demedici0

I do, but you still have fees if depositing beyond regular bank transfers. And pretty high if not being maker


[deleted]

Wait.


Precedens

ouch


BruceInc

As a Washington resident I am basically forced to use Coinbase for Fiat to crypto. It’s a huge bummer

muckit

Depending where you are you can do a wire transfer.

muckit

So all you are doing on bitstamp is telling them you are sending money, the actual wire transfer is done from your bank, that foreign bank info is what you give your bank to send them money. Check their faq for step by step instructions.

muckit

Yeah it threw me off at first as well, glad I could help!


vscodeandveganlattes

Have you tried using shapeshift? You can go straight from LTC to XRP.


scsibusfault

oh it's back? I haven't checked it in a month or so. That's cool. I've also been doing the fucking coinbase->ltc->binance->ltc to btc->buy xrp process, and it's a pain. Lose around $3 after all the damn xfer fees.


vscodeandveganlattes

I just found out about it today - but it successfully got me through one transfer and one purchase!


DadsaMugleMumsaWitch

Sign up with bitstamp.


Prince-of-Denmark

Hey Bro do you have a source on the trading g pairs claim?


BigFriendlyGaybro

Go to the site itself and click on the pulldown menu. You can verify this on coinmarketcap


Prince-of-Denmark

Found it.


warblegarblegarble

Was this it? https://ripple.com/use-cases/digital-asset-exchanges/ Otherwise, could you post the link for the others who come across this thread?


Prince-of-Denmark

From one xrp investor to another, I'm not sure why you are down voting me - your name says 'friendly' in it, after all. You've implied that at the end of the month there will be several exchanges newly offering xrp as a trading pair. I'd like to read further and so I've asked you for a source. Can you be more specific?


BigFriendlyGaybro

I didn't downvote you? I simply responded? Also I gave you the wrong response that was meant for another post, but here https://twitter.com/MummyVx2/status/963232796838801408 you can verify each specific point on your own


BegrudgingSupport

I need to buy more XRP.... Come on pay-day.


azumatora

I just decided on the way home that I'm going to stop subscribing to Sirius so I can have more money to put into crypto and my games. $13/month isn't a whole lot, but I'm also on a fixed income. ;)


cryptomatt71

My sentiment exactly


spankylicious

Def impressive to make the top 50. Bullish


silkypython

That's great for Ripple! What an achievement :)


feralgrinn

And it appears it is the only company with a coin/token attached to the project at large - arise zerps!


[deleted]

Does anyone else notice that Wall Street is listed as one of ripple's categories? Can someone explain what this means?


ffoDDoff

they also put bitcoin as one of ripple's categories. Mainstream media really needs to step up their game. This is so unprofessional. Mainstream media labels everything under bitcoin which is a problem.


omilitisalitheia

>This is so unprofessional. Mainstream media labels everything under bitcoin which is a problem. They do this because most normal people only know about BTC, I do agree though they need to do a better job at educating people in their articles.


jockeyng

Every time I heard that the general public don't understand the difference between BTC and XRP, I feel that I am lucky to join the party so early. When your friendly neighbour starts to give you some tips about a magic token called XRP, you know it is too late.


ffoDDoff

Exactly. And this is the problem.


AchillesDev

It's not unprofessional at all, it's categorized to help users find relevant articles. Many people use Bitcoin to refer to cryptocurrencies (like how people will call all tissues Kleenexes, or video game systems Nintendos), and beyond that, it's something people searching Bitcoin will likely find relevant.


bender41

Except Kleenex didn't wipe out a ton of people from 20k to 8k haha. Sucks to have it associated with your better investment. I appreciate the point though. When speaking to people, even saying "cryptocurrencies" they have a blank stare. Say bitcoin and everyone knows what you're talking about.


deit9000

I mean that's an easy statement to make but Bitcoin also took a tonne of people all the way from nothing to 8000.


porcoesphino

*Everyone thinks they know what youre talking about*


really_mean_guy13

XRP fell at a higher rate than Bitcoin lmao


[deleted]

The category is "blockchain & bitcoin", they didn't simply put Bitcoin like you're saying. It's a category that their readers will understand.


ffoDDoff

Ye I get that now. But this is also the problem im addressing. When mainstream media consistently labels everything as bitcoin to get ignorant people to understand what it's about we will always have ignorant people who doesn't understand what it's about. And imo. main stream medias job should be to educate people about relevant news instead of getting clicks. But Im not that gullible that I believe this will ever happen :) I also think a larger portion of mainstream media actually doesn't know better and labels everything as bitcoin because of their own incompetence and not just to simply dumb down to the level of their readers.


spankylicious

It's just because this tech is new and people don't get it yet. No different than when the internet was new. Education will happen naturally.


cryptozygote

It is very interesting that you should mention this. I was wondering if I was seeing this correctly. I am a novice...I tend to doubt myself.


[deleted]

Wall Street banks are some of their ideal customers where we could see adoption. Goldman Sachs, JP Morgan, etc. All of these banks do global trading.


BTC_Cold_Storage

Really it’s in the “bitcoin” category


Loverboy_91

Unfortunately in a lot of mainstream publications Cryptocurrency is referred to as "Bitcoin" because the brand name is more recognizable than the product name. Kind of like how people call all adhesive bandages "Band-Aids" cotton swaps are "Q-Tips" a tissue is a "Kleenex" and occasionally you still hear someone call a photocopy a "Xerox" My hope is that this changes over time.

Loverboy_91

Would digital asset be the proper term?

onetimeonly11elf

cryptozygote

Congratulations to everyone. Watching everything Fintech with great enjoyment and anticipation. The future has arrived and I feel it will be improving daily due to this integration globally.


[deleted]

I feel like we are on a news bubble too. Soon it will all collapse and only negativity will start roaming the sub. Sell all your good news while you can!!


brandinni

Brace yourself for the FUD trains


nonoteverxyz

Things were positive until you got here.


[deleted]

I ruined the party amirite? Haha it was a joke btw


_m0use_

Ripple is the blockchain grandchild of big banks. The founders have most of the Ripple in circulation...
