I was hoping to read an explanation for the xrp&trx price increases. But I didn't see it 😥

About xrp&trx I know for sure that that 1 (former) CEO (Chris) has 5bln XRP. So the maximum free available amount is only 33bln assuming this guy won't sell. If we also assume that other high placed ripple employees have 13bln XRP, there is only 20bln freely Circulating.

The smaller the free float is, the higher the volatility. Could this be an explanation for the latest strong price increase?

Thank you for sharing. Vincent B. Upvote!

I think that what you wrote about TRON is right. What is scary is that a "project" like TRON (some would call it a scam), can rise to a few billions worth of value in a very short period of time in the crypto-sphere.

I think everyone has the same questions about XRP. I do think they have a real technology. I don't like that it's centralized (running counter to the whole heart of cryptos). I don't see a way they can "pump" their coins value, but everyone's fear is of them diluting its value. However, they have apparently placed the remainder of the XRP they own in an escrow account. 
All good measures. I'm invested in XRP (since $0.18) and do believe that the tech vision is there, not to mention the size of the market they want to service.

Far fetched?  Not really....

I don’t know if I think they are planning on scamming everyone to the degree that they don’t have a plan and it’s all just s show, but I do believe they’re both “fake it til you make it” in some aspects, and kind of business as usual in that they’ll use cheap tricks if they think they can get away with it.  I’m not rooting for either of these companies...if I invest in either it’s for a quick buck to later put into Steem, substratum, EOS etc.
