How was that little test last night!? Awesome! Some fake news, FUD information out of Korea regarding a crypto crackdown (since then discounted almost entirely), a panic sell off by weak little gremlins that dumped positions at a loss, a cascade of declines followed by a morning of some pretty rad news with Money Gram and XRP now partnering up!
That is what I like. A nice little "cleansing" where XRP shakes off her fleas, the Ripple ticks burrow in deep, the bunkers are bombed, the depth charges dropped, and we run silent and deep, holding our positions, un shakeable and soon to be rewarded.
Last night I found myself having to text friends reassurances, and tweet war cries from the position of XRP combatant. I will include some here so if you ever need motivation, you can come back and read through this trial we weathered together, that is if you are still a HODLER.
"I mean this happened (threats) a few times last year in Korea. Bitcoin always recovered
Remember, in one day BTC went from 20k to 10k bitcoin cash from 7k to 2k LTC from 300 to 150. Doing 3.20 to 1.68 after a 58,000% rise is acceptable. Crypto is tough. Stressful. Some can’t take it. Those who weather this, patiently holding will be like those who kept their BTC through during and after the horror of MT GOX. Those who can’t will walk away."
"This is when stoic ballers step up and buy while panicked peasants try to save their pennies. This is an ethnic cleansing totally rad. Shake off the fleas. You need to bury in like a tick."
"You in to win this or you just here as a passerby for a weeklong rally? XRP wasn’t even expected to breach dollar till 2018 late. Stack it up now."
"It’s a sea of guys who’ve never traded, looked at charts for a week and are getting annihilated by guys who literally do this professionally. Best thing new guys can do is hold. They try playing baller and got wasted. Guys sold xrp at $1.68 waiting for buy in at $1. They’re out now unless they want in higher. Greed got em."
Then a friend sent me this:
I have to be honest. If you were so weak, so timid, so fragile, uncommitted, unconvinced, and easily shaken from what 24 hours ago you considered a brilliant position - I don't want you in my trench or on my team. Get out. You get bumped last night? Good. Bye bye. Those who tried to short XRP to get a larger position only to miss their buy back, good. You dumped at a loss? Idiot. You bought TRX or XVG or let me guess.....Flappy Coin?
Last night was a purification of Ripple holders. The purest, the few, those who know the future of this coin stuck with it. XRP will shine and prevail in the legislated marketplace. The transparent coin will be one of the few remaining cryptos in the years to come, literally because of the very points people try to criticize: "bUt iTs duH bAnKErS cOiN!"
To that I say, "EXACTLY!". Those boys always win and they are sure as hell going to win this. As governments move to control or work on crypto, Ripple XRP will prevail and be elevated.
Today there are weeping, grieving saps, those who sold XRP, made a mistake and now cannot blame anyone but their own timid selves that lack the mettle to play in this arena.
If you survived last night, if you HODL still, you are a tested and proven XRP HODLER and you are on the right side of this. You will prevail, you will be rewarded.
27 million Japanese customers gained access to XRP through DMM this week, Western Union was announced, Money Gram now, we have already seen AMEX, and there are many more deals and non-disclosure agreements in the pipeline. I am convinced we will soon see XRP on GDAX as well as Coinbase still. Be brave, HODL and be patient.
It's not luck, it is logic, patience, research, intellect, boldness, perseverance, strength, fortitude, and a stoic steadfast demeanor in the face of adversity that promotes success here.

I'll have to break down and buy some. My friends always counter, "The bankster coin?" Yes, the bankster coin. People seem to think the banksters are going to throw their hands up and say, "You won. We quit."
Nope, it's not going to happen, and frankly I believe this entire thing is a setup like the Economist Magazine cover's image hinted at years ago. Crypto is being allowed to be what it is today to usher in bankster controlled ones in the future.
I will use the profits to stack, and that is the best way to damage the enemy. The more fiat we extract out of the system, be it through crypto or bankster currencies, and put it into precious metals, the more power we take away from the current rulers.
Thanks and resteemed, friend!
P.S. You had a lot of people in your live chat that were wondering what they would author posts about. Make sure they realize you never have to author a post. Half of being successful on Steemit is engaging others through replies to their authored posts. New members could never post their own content and still do very well. I've made over a $100 Steem payout for a single quality reply once. That's almost a thousand USD for some thoughtful and appropriate words written in the right place at the right time. It's mind boggling to think about! :)
Thank you! I tried getting on Dtube. No success. None of my passwords worked.
Are you sure you used the private key and not the public one? You have to click the small teal text to reveal your private one. It should start with a 5 I believe.
Ok I’ll try that
I posted my first d.tube last night partly as a test to see how it works for you too. It didn't give me any trouble other than getting a snapshot to work. Apparently, you have to use a jpg not a png for the snapshot. Then click the "advanced" button to add your normal steemit post content and coding (like my signature block, etc.)
In advanced what would I add?
Put in there the normal text and coding you would put in a regular steemit post. My divider line, story, and two signature images are in mine for example.
Would you mind sharing what you bought XRP at? I'm watching it and waiting to buy right now. But a dip would be nice to get a little more.
XRP!!! I'm excited about the future of Ripple/XRP.
me too
Oh. I listened to your latest video with Finian. I believe there is a quickier way with less transfers that you can cash in your Steem. I use Bitpay for converting to USD. And I use Exodus for holding crypto without going to an exchange. Cryptonator is another I use for XRP.
Well thank you! I need to learn this
Me too apparently! A link to an explanation or perhaps post a tutorial please?
Oh, I haven't followed anything. I just youtubed Bitpay when I heard about it. It works. I know that BTC transfers are expensive but Bitpay has added Bitcoin Cash for transfers now which will be helpful in that the fees are cheaper.
Whenever I transfer funds from my Steemit account, I send it to my Exodus wallet (From STEEM to LTC). From there I can move money from LTC to a bunch of different cryptos. There is a Litepay card coming out in FEB. This should give more options. Exodus is in the process of adding XRP here soon which will be nice.
No ripple for me hehe!!
Great. XRP will outperform most alts this year and will eventually have the #1 Market Cap spot. You'll see. By the way, this information comes from some individuals who have put more research into the merit of XRP than the majority of prognosticators out here calling alt coin performance. A close friend of mine has a very informed opinion and assessment as to the movement of XRP. He is hardly ever wrong......so far, never.
I haven’t been able to get on the ripple train yet. I’m starting to generate some steem dollars to hopefully convert into ripple if available. Partnering up with money gram is definitely giving some legitimate legs to the platform. 👍🏼🍺🥓
AMEX, Money Gram, Western Union, Korea, Japan, this is only begun. This has given me over 1000% returns, had I listened to a close friend last year I would have 58,000% returns. Get some. Last night was perhaps one of the best buy-in opportunities recently.
I don't get it! why get out now? how much money did they invest?
As I recall, you said to throw a tracker on the train to see where it's going, not to get on the train with the whole family and pets... But I guess a lot of people expect to get super rich just by speculating for a week. ("They want it now")
And let's not forget that XRP is just a "baby", of course, it's acting up
... when you take advice about crypto from a guy that stacked metals all his life, you'd better be prepared for the long run, cause that's his game, and he's probably good at it...
I am in this for the looooooooooooooong run. I plan on holding XRP until it either folds entirely or becomes a major player on the scene. I have no issue holding for a long time - remember, I hold gold.
same page... same plan... and about xrp, you know how much I have, we've talked about it (mail)
it's nothing, if I lose it all, it's not a problem
main thing is gold
... I don't wanna be a smart ass, but I think that most people don't see the difference between speculative assets and defensive assets...
crypto is just speculative (attack),
gold and silver are defensive assets...
now I know that people don't see it as a battle plan, but it is
if you can't defend yourself why the fuck go on the offensive with all you've got?
is it because you're desperate?
it is Junius, people are like this, they want the fast solution, not the good one
let them die!
no disrespect, like I said I value your knowledge
