Ripple promises fast international transactions for banks, but PayPal already offers such features. What is the real difference between these two technologies and what is the point of Ripple when PayPal already exists? What do you think about Ripple vs Bitcoin? Leave your thoughts in the comment section!
To really understand how Ripple works and what XRP digital asset is I recommend this video I did a couple of days ago:

Hi Ivan, welcome to steemit 🚀🚀🚀🚀
I'm subscribed on your youtube channel, but anyway it is great to see you here. 👍👍👍👍🔥🔥🔥🔥
P.S. Agreed with all your statements according to ripple. It has been pumped mostly because the noob buyers buy based the price without considering the functionality and capitalization... The most speculative market was the korean one. Since the korean exchanges have been removed from the CMC , the ripple price droped up to 30%.

I totally agree that there should be no support for these kinds of projects but in the short term Ripple seems to be a good investment, to a lot of people, since it has the backing of the current establishment.
A good investor should judge when something is overvalued and should not invest in that case. For now Ripple seems to be a decent investment especially for people who are not really looking to change the world but just make a quick buck. Of course there are still pitfalls like the fact that it is pre-mined and the centralization issue.
At the point where there is a proven technology that rivals the current established financial institutions we can all agree that projects like Ripple will not be supported since there will be a clear alternative but in the short run I am not aware of a project like this. A lot of them are on the way but nothing that is battle tested as of yet.

Ripple is NOT a crypto. It is a glorified centralized database run by a bunch of guys who wants to have fancy titles next to their name. A real crypto will never have a “ceo” or a “cto” or a “cfo.” A true crypto is decentralized and have no need for any of those fancy title.

The only reason ripple is pumping is a lot of newbies came into the space and are throwing around their dirty fiat money into 'tokens' that are created by centralized goons of the same order, brilliant populace.

yes ripple the banksters coin, freeze your ripple coins without warning they can so read the whitepaper and take a look on youtube at the transactions of millions of ripple being pumping by bankers the ripple price so people will think what a great coin so they buy it and it goes higher then the banksters sell millions of ripple and make big profits at the highs then ripple goes down in price and poor ordinary investor loses his/her money when panics and sells at loss , then repeat by bankers and the pump and dump happens again and the rich bankers get richer and the ordinary workers lose their money by selling in a panic when price plummets like today

There are a lot of people who are afraid of crypto currencies. All some people know comes from the documentary about the take down of the silk road and how bitcoin funded all the illegal things that were happening there. It is true ripple is centralized, but it may also provide a stepping stone for people to start to embrace crypto currency through something familiar. It is very possible that ripple is a necessary evil and will hopefully open the door for the masses.

The thing that gives me faith about the long term value of XRP is unlike most other crytos, XRP has a direct usage as of right now.
Being backed by the banks might be considered a bad thing from a philosophical perspective, but in terms of business value, the banks (unfortunately) still have lots to say
tl;dr buy xrp, sell your soul

I will not under any circumstances invest in Ripple. Those who do don't understand decentralization or aren't paying attention. Also will avoid Stellar for the same reason (both in top 10 of market cap right now).

Great explanation, @ivanli. I really like and believe in the idea of a currency being decentralized; I really believe having decentralized crypto will prevent a government, like Greece, from locking down assets. XPR sounds like a technology that can streamline transactions for big big institutions. If the banking industry gets behind XPR, it will be a great investment.

Nice summary of major points with great explanation! Rome wasn’t built in a day, it’s gonna take time till banks will be willing to use it, but they will, finally, or at least something similar. It’s their basic interest. The competition has started, known institutions have joined it, and using Ripple has quite clear advantages. I think Ripple just stepped out of early adopter stage. There’s no sense in comparing with other coins. Its creating has a clear purpose, and its price should be more stable and it will never compare to other cryptocurrencies.

I have used PayPal for many years, and I use it for business, as well as having a PayPal Business Card, allowing me instant access to funds either via an ATM or paying companies, it also manages my accounts as ALL invoices produced by my company allows me to keep track of accounts, run analytics on our business performance. I know I pay over the odds in fees, but there is a lot of trust factor there as well as convenience.

Hi there! I have a question for you. As you explained you are an avid user of PayPal, what are your thoughts on Ripple, as an investment and just generally? I have been researching it quite a bit and see a variance of opinions in the crypto world regarding the use of this technology.

It is something I am going to take a look at, the issue I have is that I accept PayPal via my website, it is a trusted platform for most businesses, having said that, I am considering on our next rebuild to accept Cryptocurrencies as an alternative. The only cons against, is that most businesses that shop with me either pay via PayPal or Bank Transfer, and either way they receive an invoice via PayPal. So for me, I apologise but cannot really comment on it as an investment option. Sorry I couldn't be more help.
