Stellar?! Why the sudden moon launch? (Is it IBM?!) and next to launch prediction?

in cryptocurrency •  7 years ago 

Firstly- what is Stellar?
My previous definition? A wannabe Ripple.

Their own definition?
Stellar is a platform that connects banks, payments systems, and people.
Integrate to move money quickly, reliably, and at almost no cost.

Looks like I was very wrong perhaps!!!

Over 100% boost in last 24 hours.

Stellars latest news however has perhaps solved this mystery...

"IBM and KlickEx Choose Stellar to Power the Future of Cross-Border Payments

Today we are excited to announce that Stellar is partnering with IBM and KlickEx to develop a blockchain-based cross-border payments solution proven to significantly reduce transaction costs and increase transaction speeds"

Do we think this is the cause?
Do we think the rise has peaked?
EOY predictions?
And lastly, will Ripple be the next to rise?

DONE :)

Wow, Stellar and IBM ?? That's great news!

I know right? I somehow missed this and was posting to see if anyone knew why this happened... then I saw the IBM news and put 2 and 2 together.

I have nothing in Stellar and now too hesitant to jump in after the mooning.

What about you?

I have just a few Stellar from before :) But I think it is still time to buy. A few months ago, Stellar went to $0.6. Now it is still at $0.3. So I think it can still go up. If I can, I will buy a few more.

If it takes a dip in the next 24H I might throw some money at it in that case.
Think Ripple will follow its trend upwards? Very similar coins and goals...

Yeah, it will probably go down temporarily a little bit because people will take benefits.
As for XRP... I don't know. They have the same technology, but not necessarily the same goals and partnerships. I don't see XRP going much up because of Stellar going up.

Thanks! Good advice, I have a little bit of Verge. Hoping it catches the trend and has a boost too
