What's the hype behind XRP?

The price per unit of any coin is entirely irrelevant, as it's just the market cap divided by the supply, and the latter is arbitrary. Market cap counts.
Ripple is a company, not a startup, that's the difference.
That being said, I don't find it interesting.

its useless. banks are making their own cryptocurrency now, its in the news yesterday

So is the mindset of "if I can buy more coins, I can turn a larger profit" objectively false? Should I be less reluctant to buy into say, OMG, where I can buy only 20 full shares opposed to XXX where I can buy 20000?

what? If I understand you correctly, then OF COURSE.

Satoshi Nakamoto could have made the decission to multiply the supply by 100 upon releasing of the bitcoin code and then 1 BTC would be worth not 4800 but 4.8 dollar right now, and everybody with 0.4 bitcoin right now would (in that alternative scenario) have 40 right now, but it's the same value. The supply is some number hardcoded in the protocol. The market cap is (handwavingly) how much money has been put into it multiplied by how valuable people think the coin/share is.
Ethereum is 15 times as pricy as Dash right now, i.e. the trust in Ethereum as a project is quite higher than in Dash. The fact that both cost 360$ per unit is irrelevant

Makes sense. I should probably keep some of my investment in ETH. I got lucky last night with litecoin, went up 20 bucks. Essentially received a $100 sign on bonus. That bubble popped quick as fuck

> The world’s biggest banks aren’t immune from cryptocurrency euphoria, with a range of projects underway to explore how traditional financial firms can benefit from the innovation. Swiss banking giant UBS and 10 other companies say that they plan to use the technical idea behind bitcoin—a distributed ledger called a blockchain—for their own digital currency (paywall). This could show the way for the world’s biggest central banks to do the same.


Ripple is done. I posted this yesterday. Do you really think that the banks are going to buy billions of dollars of ripple when they could just create their own thing and mine out half the tokens before hand? These people have been running the world's currency markets for hundreds of years and they didn't get to where they were by giving out free money to some kid who lives in his mother's basement.
