2018. I'm back. New Series - Weekly ATH!

After a stupendous New Year's Day celebration that resulted in a schism in the "family", I realized that I had lost the passion for blogging. So I mustered up my energy and thought of a few new projects I hope to develop in the weeks to come. I also have been diligently collecting sports cards, and I plan on introducing some of the cards that I've accumulated in the weeks to come.

More importantly, I've been giving people tips on cryptocurrencies - and making them thousands of dollars. One random guy came in to my store, and we discussed crypto for a bit, after which I told him to buy Ripple. He did. He put 70k into it, and saw it triple to $210k. He came back and tipped me a few dollars. :) I've even moved to accept Bitcoin and Litecoin with my coinbase app at my store.

so I'm bringing those tips here and now.

This is my new segment, Weekly ATH!

ATH PICK:

XRP - Ripple

You need to get on the Ripple train, right now. XRP saves time and money for banks and online marketplaces, so we can expect the list of partnerships to grow. There are a few factors that can drive XRP to $7 or higher this week.

Amazon announces partnership with Ripple. This has been rumored for a while. Being a seller on Amazon, it would be fantastic to process refunds and payments within a few seconds instead of days.
UBER announces partnership with Ripple. This, too, has been rumored, and UBER has been known to experiment with cryptocurrencies both as a form of payment and for their internal ledgers. There's a lot to benefit for UBER by integrating XRP into its payment processing, so I think this is a real possibility.
XRP added to Coinbase. I know that many people are holding their breaths on this one, but an insider tells me that the January 8th date for adding XRP is just a rumor. Still, I expect the hype to drive XRP to higher prices before the 8th.
This is my speculation. While they're fundamentally different projects, XRP is mimicking Ethereum's numbers in Q1 2017. XRP to $700 sounds like a pipedream, but XRP to $25 doesn't seem impossible.

Congrats to everyone who held XRP through the 20 cent drought, and gl to the hodlers.

HODL THIS:

XLM - Stellar

THIS WEEK: I think XLM is due for another partnership announcement, but it won't come this week. The new year's run-up was exuberant, so expect a slight pull-back.
