RE: Ripple Now Red For 2018 As Crypto-World Rotates Into Ethereum

in #cryptocurrency • 7 years ago

I am so happy ripple is tanking. I thought we were moving towards the the "Bankers won again" world. I would sell some bitcoin to buy ethereum and EOS if the transaction fees would come down a bit. Maybe its for the best that I am "locked in" forced HODL ; )

    I am mystified that you consider BTC fees being so high you cannot sell to be beneficial.

    My problem is that the very high transaction fees make my small withdrawals very very costly. I cant take out $100 when the transaction fees are $50. I wouldn't be as bad if I was doing large transactions

    And this does not obviate the utility of the currency for you? I find that more mystifying yet!

    I don't see it as an investment in a currency. I see it as a speculation on human behavior.
    Here's my logic

    1. Humans like to gamble,
    2. We act like a herd
    3. Bitcoin has the best advertising at the moment
    4. It's has the most developers so could become something much better than others is.

    So for those reasons I keep some "skin in the game" it isn't my biggest crypto holding Steem is. What's your favorite crypto?
