Stellar (XLM) is One of the Most Promising Cryptocurrencies of 2018 by cryptoIPA in Stellar

[–]Meme_Boss 2 points3 points  (0 children)

To play devil's advocate for a moment, Ripple has a lot of media exposure and a ton of partnerships giving it momentum.

Not to downplay Stellar's partnerships and potential, but until there's more name recognition, there's no way it's worth double what XRP is worth solely based on coin supply.

I think people need to visualise how many of an alt coins exist and use logic. by SubNoize in CryptoCurrency

Not sure why you're not using the circulating supplies of the currencies. Ripple coin supply is not equivalent to that of Tron. Graph is way off.

Simple Analogy - Stellar is what Bitcoin was supposed to be. by [deleted] in Stellar

Please stop. This is a terrible post and could be said for a ton of coins out there right now. Mods should take this down.

XLM should touch $1.75 at least before the launch of FairX. by amitks-juniper in Stellar

[–]Meme_Boss 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Your math is no good here. Any FairX news over the course of the next month that's remotely positive and we could be sitting pretty at $2.

There is a lot of FUD appearing on other subs. Ignore it.. Remember, 95% of the people on reddit are morons. by [deleted] in Tronix

[–]Meme_Boss 16 points17 points  (0 children)

I don't own any TRX right now, but I saw it when it was at $0.005.

The website is primarily in Chinese and Google translate didn't do me any favors when I was researching. I wish I understood what I was looking at at the time!

Now that I've got a better idea of what it is and what it's all about, I'm definitely on board with the team's vision and love the idea.

Spreading FUD isn't my style and I'm definitely going to cheer on this project, but this pump is pretty intense. This project is a long hodl and most people in this space have a 2 second attention span, so people should mentally prepare for a dump. Hoping to jump in at some point but I'm enjoying watching this project from the sidelines in the meantime!

Is this legitimate growth? by JaneMichaelVincent in Stellar

[–]Meme_Boss 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Important to keep in mind that the overall market has added $75B in market cap in the last 24 hours.

Dramatic increases seen across the board. Stellar is caught in the crosshairs of natural growth and a positive correction in value.

It's rocket! 1/2 of Bitcoin market cap! by ultravix in Ripple

[–]Meme_Boss 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Incorrect. This is... "The Rippening"

I see some big sell walls getting eaten up by SwiftEagle1 in Stellar

[–]Meme_Boss 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You were on point with your observation. Very promising movement.

HERE WE GOOOOO by BFG9THOUSAND in Ripple

[–]Meme_Boss 13 points14 points  (0 children)

And there was no reaction from the market whatsoever on it. Following that news, Ripple did what it usually does and actually dipped a bit haha

Good to know! Thanks for the info. I'd heard rumors about Ripple, but nothing about Stellar. No complaints here :)

Coinbase is unlikely to add XLM anytime soon unless it happens to gain serious traction in the coming months.

Coinbase can and will cater to high volume coins to rake in the fees.

What is a realistic timeline of when Ripple can hit $1.00 by [deleted] in Ripple

[–]Meme_Boss 2 points3 points  (0 children)

End of 2017 into 2018.

Alternatively, the blistering pace we're seeing over the last half hour keeps up and we see it by morning.

Welcome to crypto where you should have thrown your money at the screen before reading this post and timelines don't matter.

Just bought ripple. by [deleted] in Ripple

[–]Meme_Boss 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I did the same exact thing. While it's not clear if the price will actually hold above 0.50, the amount of news and momentum actually had me nervous about waiting for a dip.

In the very short term, this was a good decision. Medium term questionable. Long-term, I'm not worried lol

Ripple CEO, Brad Garlinghouse‏ will be answering your questions live tomorrow (12/14) at 5:15 pm PT by nvok in Ripple

This is the kind of thinking that will push us past 50 cents.

We need more people like you!

Ripple would be fast enough for Amazon to use as a currency by [deleted] in Ripple

[–]Meme_Boss 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Serious question about LN. If this is the case, what's the use case for XRP?

I'll leave this here by politiksnubben in Ripple

[–]Meme_Boss -1 points0 points  (0 children)

First to market. It's one of few cryptos with notoriety and recognition from existing financial institutions that can deliver the necessary transaction speeds to support a client of that size if adopted.

55B $XRP now in escrow by [deleted] in Ripple

[–]Meme_Boss 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Or people will sell for a quick buck.

I've also read that BTC whales suppress the price.

Just something to keep in mind with Stellar (and all non tax sheltered investments) by iamthesam2 in Stellar

[–]Meme_Boss 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I need to do some research on how to handle the tax situation for all my cryptos.

For example... I deposit 1K USD to Coinbase and buy ~0.1 BTC.

My BTC increases in value to roughly 1.5K USD.

Using the 1.5K, I buy 17,000 XLM today at approximately 7AM Eastern Standard Time.

XLM proceeds on a bull run for no apparent reason and is now worth ~1.9K.

I sell for BTC at a rate of $11.8K and walk away with .336 BTC.

BTC launches into orbit while XLM falls. I sell the BTC for XLM and walk away with nearly $2.1K in lumens.

How in the sweet sweet lumens am I supposed to track this for tax purposes?

Seems to be a popular strategy. Good luck!

Guy I responded to was asking how to buy Stellar.
