What’s the bottom line? >Stellar has an opportunity to break out into the top 5 coins by being what Ripple was supposed to be. A fast, cheap and simple cryptocurrency that can function well for both fintech and everyday people. Stellar is ready to go right now. Not tomorrow, not in 2 years, and not hypothetically.
Stellar ain't a ETH killer like the Chinese wannabes. It's just simpler and faster.

Stellar will be 15-25 dollars in 5-7 years. The maximum price for stellar is 350, this can be achieved in 15-20 years time. This is a long term hold coin.
Stellar was created 5 years ago, of course it's a long term investment, it has many years to go to reach it's potential. You will only lose money buying and selling trying to time the market. Just buy and hold for 10 years, that's investment 101.
thank you user. actually am looking to buy in for 1k
I know what it is, just wondering because when I mentioned earlier people said "there are no gainz in this shit, too high already, buy stinky linky 1000$ eoy"
Why you should be buying Ripple instead of Stellar:
I saw the post regarding the opposite, and I know this is like cursing in the church, but hear me out: The founder of Stellar copied Ripple's source code because he was pissed at Ripple. stelar is basically a 2014 fork of ripple, nothing more. His history is full of drama and personal problems. Most companies and investors doesnt trust Jed McCaleb, the founder of McCaleb. Bank of America backed out because of him. Stellar gave away lots of coins in a giveaway, which had a huge technical flaw that could be misused , which many took advantage of and got thousands and thousands of coins when they should have gotten like 70. So there are many people out there that got free coins, which further put Stellar in a negative light for investors and adopters. Stellar is a decentralized currency which like Bitcoin should be a good thing, but Banks, which is Stellar's main customers see this as a negative way. They want a stabile currency which they can trust. Ripple offer this, Stellar doesnt. Regarding the stable service, Stellar have gone trough forks that made Stellar services down for almost a day earlier. Ripple have never encountered any of these problems. This is why banks trust Ripple more. Stellar copied the code from Ripple, but Ripple have improved this a lot since, while Stellar obviously hasnt. Ripple have over 90 employees across 5 different offices to grow. Stellar have less than 10 employees. Ripple have been covered greatly by big news sites lately, they have a big and growing portefolio of customers. Ripple have 30x bigger market cap than Stellar at the moment. This is a losing battle for Stellar. If you already own Stellar coins, you should sell them and get Ripple. If you plan to invest on Stellar, dont. Save your money and get Ripple coins.
