thanks for sharing this video @hvlyarmedtrader however watching it I've felt that the guy doesn't know what is talking about. First he says things that everyone knows then he says that the price might go up or down then he says that he doesn't know ripple... I'm just thinking...why did you share that video for ?and why this guy made that video in the first place ? It's obvious to me that he has no idea what is going to happen here, he just got there early made his profit and fecked off.

Its my video actually.

I'm confident with my decision to take my profit where I did and perhaps re-enter if it looks like coinbase brings in massive buying pressure.

I think much of that anticipation of coinbase is already priced in and we will see many people taking profits at that point, especially if ethereum and bitcoin start seeing more bull activity towards the middle of January.

I could be wrong though, hopefully I am for all of those still waiting in ripple for another parabolic run. But I don't see another 90Bil in market cap coming into it in the next month for another parabolic move in the short term. Long term, I'm definitely bullish.

I think one of ripples biggest strengths is one of the reasons I'm not currently invested in it.

That is its huge float. Large, trade-able outstanding supply will dampen volatility as the market cap gets bigger and bigger. Thus, it will take more significant trading volume to move the price up and down than a coin with a much smaller float, like say, bitcoin. This will likely make it an attractive medium of exchange for businesses looking to adopt cryptocurrency as a form of payment, as volatility is good for an investor but bad for a business that has overhead cost to cover.

I have no doubts that ripple will likely be successful in the long run, however, at its current market cap and float I don't see immediate value in holding a position, where I'm trying to maximize my returns.

It's all about the styles of investing you prefer and where you seek to find your profit. For me, in the immediate future, holding ripple offers a less satisfying return than other coins.

It was a good decision indeed, I didn't say anything about your cash out , if anything, dumping that shit centralized banker coin was the best thing to do. Now what you are saying about volatility is true, and most decent business man know that however it didn't come across in your videos that you could bring solid arguments about the present, or future state of this coin.

For me however it's not just about the "style of investing" I have ethic in what I'm putting my energy into and, when it comes to crypto I'll rather miss the ripple boat that been selling my sheep wool for the rise of a banker coin. It's a big world and other coins can do a far better job in a decentralized open source way.

I see where you're coming from. I can appreciate your ethics in your investing. I have to try to keep the videos relatively dumbed down and get into the meat of my reasonings in discussion created after the fact or I seem to lose too many viewers.

My background in trying to create wealth for myself through investing comes mostly from penny stocks...so I'm used to pump and dump scams, getting in and getting out with a profit. I feel that if I can build wealth for myself, I will be in a better position to actually invest real value into things I truly do believe in, rather than always being the little guy with a dream.
