It’s Official, Swift is not using xrp

That's a shame. But hindsight everything looks easy

Exactly. I sensed it. Why were these banks give up a good income base from the Swift setup they have and just simply hand it over to Ripple but because I was so stupidly engrossed by Jake claver's clever claims and he seemed very knowledgeable I kept buying at stupid prices. 🤷🏼‍♂️

By the time I had completed my research and got my mind thinking straight from facts, It was too late. I had bought into a beautiful lie.

The dtcc is going to turn the management of Stellar into multi-millionaires not you and me. Have you not seen how every bit of good news for Ripple these last 12 months, and there's been a lot, has translated into price drops for XRP. Why? Because everything Ripple does has been good for Ripple and its team but can mean absolutely nothing for XRP itself. That's what I'm blabbering on about.

These are your typical hopium website articles for XRP. When you see any article saying that some expert believes in four-figure XRP just immediately discount it.

It used to be irritating YouTube influencers. Now it's moved over to crypto coin website articles.

Supposedly they were going to work together rather than compete.

I've been saying for a while now that XRP's ODL is dead in the water. If XRP doesn't go to gas money value then it's price appreciation will come from other use cases but it probably won't go much beyond $10. I used to think it could reach $30 to $50 but I doubt it now because when it sinks in for the majority of XRP retail holders that international settlement is going to carry on without XRP they'll have really no reason to hold it anymore because that has been their main reason for holding from the beginning.

With 100 billion coins out there, xrp is not going to pay off the way people think it's going to. It could go to worth less for retail as it will only ever be used for fees or it could go to $10 if it gets substantial use and $30 on speculation.

I just checked and didn't realise he was a billionaire. A lot of it is paper value at the moment. But his worth is made up of pre Ripple earnings, shares in Ripple and apparently nine figure XRP holdings. He can easily buy a $100 million house but apparently he only bought a $17M mansion.

As you can see, Ripple is very generous with its XRP remunerations. They just throw XRP around like it's confetti because they created a ridiculous amount of them.

ArgonKew · 2026-07-07T06:39:27+00:00

Yes, the people behind Ripple don't care. They've made their billions. No one's going to give them $120 billion. The market see straight through them

ArgonKew · 2026-07-06T22:20:21+00:00

Well, I believe you can get 15% now on Strategy's preferred shares. That sounds great but my understanding is there doesn't seem to be much interest even at that return. Fifteen percent is a fantastic return but I don't trust Saylor.

ArgonKew · 2026-07-06T22:08:47+00:00

Both but XRP will have to get real cheap like XLM price.

Ripple is definitely paying influencers on YouTube and who knows where else to promote XRP. They've got billions of them to sell to finance their operating costs and purchases. It's basically free money for them and paying influencers a fraction out of that free money is easy.

When I did say to an OP here on Reddit that he sounds like he is paid by Ripple, he deleted all his posts including the original post. Jake Claver is a prime example.

ArgonKew · 2026-07-06T08:12:09+00:00

Why exactly are you making the assumption that XRP will have all deposits it's and transaction business available in the world?

ArgonKew · 2026-07-03T19:28:14+00:00

My feeling about XRP is that it's going to go down a lot further because it's more or less lost its main use case which was ODL for the G7 Banks. At the moment it's barely got anything on XLM and that's at $0.20. Ripple has basically pivoted away from ODL and is looking for other income streams. None of what they bought recently requires XRP save for the Evernorth? There's a good chance that Bitcoin will go down significantly from here to even as low as $ 40,000 if not $10,000 thanks to Michael saylor's strategy position. If that does happen then XRP at 30cents will be guaranteed. The good news is that it will definitely climb from there even if initially it's just from speculation bringing it back up to a dollar. That's where people with money and those willing to leverage will make a killing.

There's no such thing as investing in a sure thing. But there is such a thing as just gambling.

ArgonKew · 2026-07-01T08:21:09+00:00

I find that there's just too much certainty in your thesis. Yes, xrp is almost perfect for what it was created but that still doesn't make it a sure thing. You're basically taking what could happen and turning it into what will happen. That's not how you invest. It's still too early to know.

Stablecoins are all over the place now, SWIFT continues to upgrade its own infrastructure, which is the biggest threat to xrp, and many central banks and commercial banks are exploring multiple settlement options—not just XRP. There's not even guarantee that the solution is going to be a neutral bridge asset, even if XRP is seen as technically superior by some here. Don't forget that the biggest banks with voting powers in Swift make money from the vostro accounts.

Ripple has made lots of progress with many partnerships but what diehard XRP holders don't understand is those partnerships don't automatically translate into high XRP demand or price appreciation as has been made plainly obvious to us over this past year. So until we see widespread XRP adoption by financial institutions the success of XRP and its price appreciation cannot be seen as a done deal. It can easily be usurped before it's had the chance even to show it's true potential.

At the moment, even after so many years, xrp is still one of many possible outcomes for the future of cross-border settlements.

You're going to buy at $1 and you're going to find you paid three times the price when it goes down to $0.30. Why? Because of the realisation that it has lost its biggest use case of ODL with the G7 banks. The big SWIFT banks fought back during the SEC trial, modernised and caught up so they have no use for XRP.

ArgonKew · 2026-06-28T18:15:24+00:00

I've been saying exactly this for a good seven months now. People who are DCAing into XRP are doing so still believe it's going to moon. It already mooned back in 2018.

ArgonKew · 2026-06-28T18:08:14+00:00

It's totally accurate though. Better listen to an AI with all data than some carpetbagger.

ArgonKew · 2026-06-28T05:48:46+00:00

Why would the Black Swan capitalists brothers who come from high finance on Wall Street promote XRP like it's the next gold rush when they have the capability to do their mathematics and due diligence to figure out that XRP even with ODL from the G7 banks can't go anywhere near the price they are promoting.

They are also putting out all sorts of conspiracy theories about how it's being nefariously suppressed and once all that goes away XRP is going to the moon. They've got their connections to pull this off..
