The XRP Investor Thread

my SHIB is the only thing that went up in the last 24H lol

SHIB gang

So I was on CB as well at the time. If you were there on 12/12/20 then you are for sure part of the Flare airdrop. Coinbase has not said anything to date in regards to Songbird but I believe we are going to get that too.

CB is not taking their time because Flare hasn't gone live yet. This is speculative on my part but I feel it's because they don't want to drop during the lawsuit and are stalling. It's like if your kid is born on the same as someone's death. You don't want their birth to be associate with death and you would circumvent it if possible. My guess is this is what Flare is doing.

As I said in the beginning I don't care what your position is on the past but I want nothing to do with it. Please take that talk out of this thread as I want to keep this thread for the long term.

XRP is the focal point but quite frankly, I don't care what gets talked about here so long as it's not that. It's the only topic to not be discussed.

TIA to all.

That's impressive but that woman needs to eat a sandwich or twelve!

Take the wins where you can find them (:

"If this version of the bill were to pass, crypto holders will have to wait 30 days before (and after) buying the same coin he/she sold at a loss. If you buy the same coin without waiting for 30 days, the IRS would not allow you to deduct the loss as a capital loss in the tax year. That said, note that the taxpayer will not completely lose the tax benefit of the loss. It will be deferred. The loss would be added to the basis of the coin. So, when you later dispose of the coin, it will result in lower capital gains," Cointracker's Shehan Chandrasekera told The Block in an email.

im not in to this channel really but it was in my recommended and the intro is just too funny

shib is the bright shiny object on page one at coinmarketcap it will be the one noobs will gravitate to so they can buy millions of something

Longterm still believe in utility of LINK. 2nd to xrp in terms of partnerships. Short term others appear primed to takeoff, Inc. XRP/XLM/XDC.
I'm not sold on Bitboys September settlement timeline but he could be right. You brought up XLM, is that a gut feeling or because it's under 50% from its local high?

As for LINK and QNT they are good holds during bear markets, especially if you don't want to leave the market. Peace.

thats what im thinking too

The CB transaction information while switching payment types on the CB Card, normally reads, "2.49% is your transaction fee" It now reads, 'Transaction fees apply and we will help you with your taxes.' paraphrase

So, are the transaction fees going up or down?
Every sell I've made has been when there was a loss (trend down in value) occurring. So are transaction trade values lumped with fees? Are the fees considered a loss?

I hope CB does help with those pretty freaky taxes...while the Ameromonetary overlords wank off.

That is absolutely ridiculous. I have no words for that.

This is so ambiguous. How are you supposed to know?

I'm not sure how this is possible as I haven't seen anyone about to list FLR yet....

I think I'm ok buying SGB on BitTrue...

But it looks like CoinBase isn't supporting the SGB AirDrop?

Not in this list anywhere?

They haven't spoken on the subject either way yet. We'll see what happens.

CB also didn't mention SHIB until it had been live for a few hours on their platform. I had it on my watch list and it popped up in the "discover more assets". I bought, post on here, then in a delayed timeframe it was defined on CB "discover more assets" as being live 3 hours. So, I'll calculate the time stamp between my purchase, and when CB announced as live.

CB [currently] has SHIB posted as being "added" 16 hours ago, which is last night. Yet I bought it in the afternoon. So if you have something on your watch list, you get to jump in there, but otherwise, there is no information flow, no countdown, like SEC IPO's.

Thanks I value your opinion. I went to go swap some of it out and the ETH fees were just too high, I didn't want to mess with it and I thought it was just as well. I swapped a small bag of ANKR for XLM and a small amount of ZIL rewards for XLM and am in the process of swapping to XDC now. Sent the XLM to Bitrue but the swap to XRP got hung up and now I can't log in, I"m sure it's all temporary, just need to babysit it through the day today and get that done. Thanks again.

Edit to add: I'm bullish overall on XLM, gut feelings included. If was was reckless I would put my whole bank account into XLM, but I've done that so many times, and I've hit the place in my precarious and dismal workplace life that I better hang onto my fiat, because I am so close to quitting my job that it's as though I have already done it. Absolutely poised to walk off the job.

Edit to add again - it was mentioned elsewhere that when Starlink went down a few weeks ago, whenever that was, Stellar Network went down too, and people's XLM sends got hung up for hours.

My ears sure pricked up when I heard that - could Stellar Network be running on Starlink?

Fascinating idea, because I believe Starlink is masquerading as private enterprise and that secretly it is really directly under Space Force.

WOW WOW WOW WOW WOW

Pretty much eh pool?

I successfully traded 1000 ANKR and 300 ZIL (from rewards) for 400 XLM, sent to Bitrue, swapped for XRP then traded XRP for

1072 XDC

Now to send the XDC to custody in Guarda.

Feels like some lightweight maneuvers, "how to FOMO when you don't have any fiat to work with" by Vision Thing TM

Glad I could get some more XDC today though, even if it isn't much.

Also ETH fees are going to kill ERC20 tokens if something isn't done. I don't even want to do anything with the few ERC20 projects that I own. I can't even get rid of them with out taking a haircut I don't want to take. Don't even want to move them. Who wants to buy ETH to do a transaction, and then you have to buy a minimum amount, and unless you have a certain amount you can't sell it or move it, etc etc etc.

oh and P.S. I couldn't log in on the desktop version of Bitrue since early this morning. It was like the log in page was dead.

I finally downloaded the phone app and the interface is much better anyway. Had zero problems with the phone app of Bitrue.

looks like no settlement until summary judgement in January2022

Stellar Foundation and Musk are joined at the hip. No doubt. XLM aims to be a world wide remittance platform for retail. Starlink facilitating it is a no brainer. Are Musk and McCaleb US security state actors? I don't know.

I'll return to US soon, it's gone mad. Good people are being pushed out of jobs. A no win situation for many.

Hang tight.

After I wrote about Stellar Network and Starlink I started wondering if that's why Jed seems to have that Teflon quality and hasn't been raked over the coals in this SEC nonsense, that I know of anyway.

There are so many projects being build on Stellar Network. Some of them seem to be connected to N-s-r-a/G-s-r-a? In what way I'm sure I don't know, I heard rumors and maybe it's just marketing? Obviously there are tons of scam projects being built on that network, copying the legit ones, every time you search for a legit project in Lobstr wallet you get 4 or 5 with the same name, you have to know what domain they are under to know the "real" one. There are T groups about it, one is Whiplash something? Tons of the projects are having airdrops in Lobstr, I think you find out about it on Stellar Rewards, I think there's a T group for that, I'm getting most information secondhand. I've been adding trustlines and funding them with 2 or 5 XLM, kind of like putting 2.00 bets on the horses at Saratoga :)

Anyway I heard some of the projects being built on Stellar are for tokenizing commodities and the stock market and precious metals and real estate . . . . we probably won't know the end game or outcome of these things for quite some time but it's fun to think about the possibilities.

all that because of wondering about the connection between Stellar Network, Starlink, and Space Force . . . . which I don't know anything about and would be a good area of research for sure.

You must know people in New York City it must be insane there! Not so bad in Florida maybe. It's bizarre here it's causing me a fog of confusion and conflict mentally. Not much longer . . . . . not much longer at all.

Stellar Rewards information, for interesting projects to follow, some have airdrops, lots of things in their infancy, so, not worth anything, not listed anywhere, but something maybe for the future?

I don't know anything about this either

-------------

It was fun when someone brought a bunch of information about projects on Stellar Network that no one ever heard of before. Makes you excited about the possibilities of the future when you see something completely new, most of which seem to have some kind of charitable focus in some way. Maybe never lucrative, but creative, that counts. Trying something new.

well well, I've got to hand it to CB for responding immediately to my alt coin feedback. They have upgraded the platform with information on CB WALLet transactions ...
