The end goal is for it to be the coin to replace SWIFT for international cross border transfers between banks.  Right now a lot of the speculation is being driven by a bank in Japan SBI beginning to use XRP to facilitate forex trading on their exchange which could be billions per day.  Also Flare network is going to airdrop spark tokens to XRP holders on the 12th of December and begin using them for Smart Contracts in the XRP ledger similar to what is going on with ETH right now.

Yeah I have on my todo list to get my flare acceptance in order.  All my coins are on my hardware wallet.

I think BTC is going to be the "savings" vehicle but won't really be the big "transaction" vehicle and that is ok.  I think picking the "transaction" vehicle at this point is probably a fool's errand, but BTC is getting too big to fail as a savings vehicle.

I think the fed will ultimately issue a CDBC for a digital dollar and one of the coins will be the bridge currency between that and other countries CDBC.  Which one of those is the bridge currency is as you say probably a fools errand.  I obviously am betting on it being XRP.

Coinbase is the most user friendly IMO.  Ledger Nano X is a good hardware wallet if you don’t want to keep it on the exchanges.  Coinbase and the Nano X have IOS and Android app functionality so you can do it all from your phone.

Friends. Anyone use block fi? i've been converting some extra cash to GUSD from Gemini and sending to block fi. They are paying 8.5%. I should probably just be putting it in to bitcoin, but am testing it out. Seems ok so far. Its obviously a "not your keys not your crypto" no no, but the coins are custodial at Gemini so, that's at least something, I guess.

LOL this shitcoin rally is just people profit taking BTC and dumping it into other things temporarily.

I admit I did dump a lot of BTC today, but that cash is just sitting idle waiting for a dip.

LOL at actually thinking anything other than BTC has staying power and worth investing in.

I'm happy for you guys in XRP and other but LOL at it being a long term thing.

over the last week the thread exploded in popularity so I merged all the crypto threads into one since it deserved a single thread.

Bold move on selling.  I've been tempted to sell some as well with the intent of buying on a pullback. Problem is, we haven't even broken the all-time high and that pullback may not happen or may not be as great as it needs to be in order to warrant me selling off. I've ultimately decided the risk of me selling now and it continuing to move higher is not worth the opportunity of making a few thousand if it were to drop back to $16K or somewhere in that neighborhood. Obviously, BTC were to fall to $10K I'd be kicking myself for not unloading.

Looks like BTC is going to trade sideways for a bit which is fine by me. Need some good consolidation at this level before jumping above $20K. Volume has definitely picked up today (at least on CoinbasePro).
