Watch out with LTC yes it hit the Segwit threshold but its unclear whether there is true industry love for the coin.

Sure it will pump but there are massive sell walls.

Take heed, I'm sitting this out for a while.
 
I bought $5000 worth of LTC at around $8.50 once it hits around $19 I am out also because that is when I believe the pullback will start to around $14-$15.

Great strategy Fam! Get in a get out before the retrace.

LTC isn't on Coinbase its on GDAX the Coinbase exchange. So a lot of the hype was misinformation.

Also it has to stay above 75% threshold for two weeks before Segwit is considered successful.

There will be a retrace but until then I am rooting for you brothers to make a massive come up! Let's go LTC!

I'm researching low entry midsize coins at less than 100M max circulation.

LBC, AMP, etc.

Do the research and plan and you'll never miss a pump.

I was holding that shitty VTC bag for two weeks before it hit and I dumped that shit for near 100%.

Swift exec Marjan Delatinne defects to Ripple
Ripple has hired Marjan Delatinne to be its European sales director.

The appointment, announced Wednesday, is noteworthy because until recently Delatinne led customer engagement for Swift’s global payments innovation initiative, with which Ripple’s cross-border payment system competes.

Delatinne said her previous job had made her well aware of the Ripple offering and its evolution over the last two years.

“I found the business model very interesting — and the fact that Ripple as a fintech is adapting itself more and more to the bank environment, and trying to help the banks cope with the future requirements of the payments space,” she said.

Making the switch
Ripple's distributed-ledger technology for international payments, which settles transactions, "could be a solution of the future,” says Marjan Delatinne, the company's new European sales director.

Swift’s strength is its network of 11,000 banks that send messages about payments to one another and through correspondent banks where necessary. Its GPI is a cloud-based solution that lets members track the status of their Swift messages.

Ripple provides distributed-ledger technology that lets banks send international payments to one another in real time, without the need to go through correspondent banks.

“GPI could be a solution for a bank that wants to extend its investment in Swift, whereas what Ripple brings to the payment space — and its differentiator —is the fact that it goes beyond just messaging transportation," Delatinne said. "It’s providing the settlements of the transactions. So this creates a uniqueness that could be a solution of the future.”

Ripple this year is striving to get the banks that use its network to step up their volume, Delatinne said.

“It’s going to be a challenging year, and that’s one of the main reasons I joined Ripple — because I like a challenge,” she said.

You know she has established relationships with banks already. Someone really needs to breakdown how every transaction with Ripple includes XRP
 
Ripple Hires Former Business Director at SWIFT gpi Marjan Delatinne

Ripple is thrilled to announce the addition of a new team member, Marjan Delatinne, who will join us as the Sales Director for Europe. Delatinne will lead our sales efforts for financial institutions in Europe. She will sell Ripple’s commercial blockchain solution to banks looking to offer more competitive cross-border payment services and to join Ripple’s growing global network.

Delatinne joins us from SWIFT where she worked for ten years, most recently in charge of selling their Global Payments Innovation (gpi) offering. She also led EMEA customer engagement for SWIFT gpi. Prior to SWIFT, she worked at Euroclear and the Bank of New York Mellon. With more than two decades of experience in sales leadership roles, Marjan has gained valuable insights into the financial industry and payment infrastructures globally that will be a huge asset to the team.

We spoke with Marjan to learn more about her experience and what she is looking forward to most at Ripple.

What initially interested you about Ripple?

My previous experiences convinced me that the financial industry is in dire need of technology that facilitates faster payments. The industry is looking for modern payments solutions which are built on the latest technology, not outdated infrastructure. Ripple understands how banks function and has adapted to serve them, whereas the incumbents have lost touch with what banks and banks’ customers really want.

I was also compelled by Ripple’s vision of the Internet of Value – a future in which money moves instantly, inexpensively and transparently. It is such an important initiative to move money the way information already moves, and I want to help facilitate it.

What about your new role is most exciting to you? What do you think will be the most challenging aspect of your new role?

What I find most exciting about this role will also be the most challenging: creating a critical mass for a network, where banks around the world are utilizing Ripple for cross-border payments. It’s a large, ambitious project to take on. Of the blockchain companies in the market, Ripple stands apart with the most advanced blockchain solutions, real customers already moving money, and an extraordinarily talented team. I think we have the key ingredients to make it happen. The journey itself will be exciting and demanding, but I believe we will win, and once this is accomplished we will have revolutionized the payments industry.

SWIFT’s gpi is seen as a competitive play with Ripple – coming from the SWIFT gpi department, do you view them as competitors?

This is an interesting question; we can answer this by putting ourselves in our bank customers’ shoes. The financial industry is composed of a variety of players, differing in size, organizational models, technological restrictions, etc. which creates different needs. SWIFT gpi aims to improve the existing infrastructure that banks have already implemented for some.

On the other hand, I believe that Ripple is offering a completely new and transformative solution by combining the messaging rail with the real time settlement of a payment transaction. This is offering a way for banks to create a better user experience that hasn’t been possible before. Ripple’s goal is to help banks be successful and SWIFT is a bank owned organisation. So I don’t see us as competing against SWIFT.
:puzzled:


What do you think the future of payments and fintech will look like?

Nobody knows for certain how the future of payments will pan out, but my hope is that Ripple’s vision for the Internet of Value becomes a reality. When we make that happen, it will have far-reaching economic and social impact on the world.
