XLM

> Yeah totally doesn’t smell like a ploy team Warren cooked up… >The lawsuit alleges that the digital assets listed on Coinbase are securities. This includes Solana (SOL), Polygon (MATIC), Near Protocol (NEAR), Decentraland (MANA), Algorand (ALGO), Uniswap (UNI), Tezos (XTZ), and Stellar (XLM). The plaintiffs argue that these tokens constitute ‘investment contracts,’ subject to state securities laws OK, so just don't invest in them. I wish I could punch these people in the face.

Oheson

Not just ETH. A new lawsuit against Coinbase for - ALGO, MANA, MATIC, NEAR, UNI, SOL, XLM & XTZ Careful how you shitcoin boys. No Alt is safe.

InvestAn

So the likes of Quant, HBAR, XLM, etc? If not, who exactly did you have in mind NY saying ISO 20022?

imlynn1980

I usually swap to XLM to avoid tx fees. It takes no time to transfer XLM, so you most likely have no lost other than the difference of spread on the two exchanges.

Downtown_Feedback665

I’d take a gander to say there might be less than 10 actual use cases. BTC is always gunna BTC, but past that there’s: Remittance - eg XLM Supply chain/logistics - eg Hyperledger Fabric Privacy - eg XMR Decentralized compute/Web3/smart contracts - eg ETH Contracts or real estate - eg companies like RealBlocks Decentralized Finance - eg AAVE Government processes - eg Estonia. The country. Decentralized Autonomous Organizations (DAOs) - eg UNI, MakerDAO Honestly I can’t think of any more actual use cases that make sense. People will say gaming, I don’t buy it People will say IoT, I don’t buy it People will say voting, I don’t buy it People will say for the memes, I don’t buy it There might be 50ish crypto companies all legitimately vying for the use cases I mentioned, and in good faith I might add. However, the power law should wipe out most of the competitors within our lifetimes. Which leads to maybe 10-20 real companies and more than 14k failed projects, scams, and Ponzi schemes.

Grunblau

I think AVAX. But I am also stacking XLM at these levels because I can move it anywhere for cheap and is likely to go back to 25¢ at least.

osogordo

Instead of paying banks $50 for international wire, I now use MoneyGram, which uses Stellar XLM, to send money to an overseas bank account for $2 and much faster.

ExploringReddit84

>There are a few interesting projects like Nosana, Render, etc, which try to run a GPU network on the blockchain to make training AI models cheaper, but that can't be it. CUDOS, try to venture into that. It's working hand in hand with AMD and NVDIA to distribute the compute needed for rendering, AI models, and much more. >What are your thoughts on blockchain development? There are genuine projects backed with hundreds of millions of dollars that do offer innovation for real world economic problems. A few of them (Ripple, VeChain, XLM) are running in practice and doing their thing. It's all so very early, and I do believe Blockchain tech will be the bread and butter for the web3 layer. The 'greed' projects however that rely on sentiment... they will fade away fast.

MrThrow_Down

The markets are a mess right now. They are very unpredictable. Ripple's XRP is going to go bullish with a Ram as a backup. People aren't paying attention to it much but it's going to happen. XLM is another one to research.

CarltonFrater

If it were the most useful case these blockchains wouldn’t have died off. The high volatility of the assets also make the payments use case difficult. Which is why we are seeing a take off in stablecoin payments as opposed to XRP or XLM payments.

EnigmaticMJ

I like XLM, but I'd strongly argue that Nano is better "in spirit and practice". Instant full settlement, faster than any other. Zero fees ever, so literally no one is ever excluded from participation. Fees on networks like XLM are small for now, but should be expected to increase dramatically with increased demand. Quality of service (priority) based on activity rather than who can pay the most in fees. ZERO supply inflation, meaning no holder will EVER be debased by the introduction of new supply. Properly incentivized decentralization. The lack of monetary rewards (inflation & fees) for service providers means there's no incentive to centralize, and they are actually incentivized to decentralize to improve network health.

EnigmaticMJ

Nano is instant with zero fees and zero inflation. None of this is true for XLM.

PartBobPartRick

Would verify using something safe like XLM

Grunblau

He should use XLM for non bot account verification payment and DOGE plus whatever else for tips.

cryptoquant112

XLM isn’t feeless.

DigitalScythious

XRP, XDC, XLM. Faster time settlement, less CO2 emissions, cheaper fees then BTC and Visa

roastedbagel

>Not even close How is XLM not even close to NANO? Nobody shilling Nano in here has been able to give a coherent answer to this.

roastedbagel

Tons of spam. Also, a quick search on Twitter and jt seems people are more interested in trying to get rich off it than the utility alone. That's a bad sign. Stellar (XLM) is everything Nano is minus the spam, offered on way more cex platforms, and has nearly the same price the last few years. That's what you want when using a utility token.

roastedbagel

Seriously XLM is offered on every major CEX and as someone who can log into like 8 right now I can't find Nano anywhere. Sorry yall but everyone in here astroturfing the fuck outta some no-name coin really gives it a bad look.

roastedbagel

What makes it better than say XLM which literally every major CEX supports whereas non of them support NANO?

mindfire753

XLM

conceiv3d-in-lib3rty

Nah go with Nano or XLM for micropayments.

uncomfortablydumbbb

XLM is cheap as dirt

-Blue_Bull-

Not sure about micro payments but I've always used XLM or XRP. They are both very cheap and just work. Even if their was cheaper, you're talking cents savings now so not worth my time trying something new.

TheSublimeNeuroG

XLM for sure

RICOstainzzz

I use XLM for large bags that need to be moved quickly.

Bleglord

XLM is literally the best crypto in both spirit and practice. But because it gets *used* it will never make someone as rich lmao

MunificentDancer

Not many cryptos cheaper than it, besides nano anything else ends up costing around the same. Maybe Kaspa and XLM are the other exceptions

MunificentDancer

I'm very surprised not one person has mentioned Kaspa yet, if the person can accept payments in any currency then your best bet is Nano then Kaspa and XLM. Nano and Kaspa confirm almost instantly, nano is feeless and XLM can take a bit to confirm but it's also fast and cheap

RICOstainzzz

100%. XLM is so fast and cheap.

Jenn2895

XLM & LiteCoin

whitenoise2323

XLM

Grunblau

XLM same price 5 years ago…. One of my bigger bags

Browniano

Transfer fees are always a multiple of blockchain real costs because CEXs keep moving coins to/from their inner wallets to clients' addresses. One way to avoid this is using coins/tokens with reduced transfer fees such as LTC, BCH, XRP, XLM, EOS or use a different blockchain with reduced costs (e.g.: Polygon, BNB...).

jawni

So they show they care about XLM by bringing payment processing to 3 chains that aren't XLM and by not mentioning XLM even once?

jawni

I remember this is part of why I was so bullish on XLM back in 2017 but in 2024 Stripe clearly doesn't give a fuck about XLM.

maynardstaint

Stripe bought 2% of total supply of XLM before they burned the escrow. They should have 4% of all XLM.

ENFPwhereyouat

I have few questions about utility tokens that operate remittances such as XLM, XRP, ALGO, etc under taxation law. Say, each country have their own taxation fee when buy/selling. How does that work? You send $100,000 dollar through a utility token in the process of buy/sell. Then, the receiving end has to pay up the income tax? or Is there a specific remiitance license that exempts you from tax for each transaction? How does average peer to peer transaction even going to work, if the government tracks the record of transactions and stamps a 20% income tax? How will the crypto companies manage the taxation when even stable coins are still considered assets?

Oheson

Exchanges can tack on charges above the network charge for BTC. If using Tether, make sure you don't use it on the Tether on the ETH network. Generally, for transferring value around the crypto-verse, convert to XLM, then convert back to whatever coin you want after it gets to the exchange.

kshtwgky59

Never used both of the exchanges you mentioned, but I always used XLM or ALGO to transfer between exchanges. Cheap dan fast.

HvRv

So basically you can say which ones you think are bad but you are not the person to say which one are good? What a shit take. And yes I can say which one I think are good and have good fundamentals in the things they aim to do - XLM, ALGO, SUI, AVAX and even the dreaded HBAR. All have great things happening under the hood.

osogordo

In the past, when I wired my mom overseas some money, the banks took $40 each time. Then I heard about Moneygram, which apparently uses Stellar XLM. I now pay under $2 each time and the money goes straight into her bank account.

Deep-Cow9096

Both fanbases exist in a bubble. XRP in the CBDC is going to for some reason use Ripple rather than anything homegrown. I don't know what is supposed to drive users to XRP in ways it hasn't done in the last 10 years. It's existence and price is just inertia at this point. Sometimes I still see people tout 2017 feats like it's fast and use it for exchange transfers - same with XLM bag holders - (waste of money, transfer what you already have or use USDT since almost every exchange uses USDT trading pairs) Cardano those that got hit with Hoskinson used car salesman talk. For a smart contract chain, Cardano only stands out in send/receive speeds and fees against base Ethereum. It competes with base base Ethereum on throughput as in they're both pretty damn slow. Network fees are around 10 to 20 cents with current network activity. DApp fees get worse with DEXs that charge 2 ADA batcher fees. Not ridiculous but still more expensive than many other lvl1 chains and ETH lvl 2 chains. Cardano itself has already experienced congestion issues multiple times in the past. Transactions eventually complete but the congestion issues with so little activity makes it not fast in my opinion

Skyobliwind

Well the difference between those 2 is ADA has a future. The performance atm isn't that great because they're slow in development (perfectionists). While XRP had its best days already. Opponents like XLM are better and there is no point in using XRP.

Heclalava

I have clients pay me in XLM because it's cheap and fast. I offer digital services, not programming. I even offer a 10% discount if they pay in crypto. Maybe only 1% of my client base choose to pay in crypto.

Renowned_Molecule

Anyone who reads this needs to research XRP, XLM, SWIFT. Then decide if this is significant. RFK is stealing an idea as his own idea! Don’t fall for this guy. The global financial system has already been partnered with blockchain providers.

Jnanavatar555

I am deeply disappointed with XRP (and XLM for that matter). Love your reply. Thanks bro. I really needed that.

para1131_F33L

Looking for this comment. I initially got involved last halvening and watched as my friends got rich as my XLM went no where.

whitenoise2323

Sorry, just sick of people coming in here and claiming something is true about XLM (it's PoS, it's centralized, it's insecure, it's etc etc) and when I ask them to clarify it's clear they never read anything about XLM at all and are just assuming mostly based on old bitcoin vs eth fights. I don't feel like researching for everyone who comes on here making a false claim, how about you either go research it yourself or stop making claims you can't back up.

whitenoise2323

XLM is not PoS. It's amazing how many people make assumptions and claim they are right about something on this sub when they don't even have the basic facts

Objective_Digit

Bitcoin has more computing power than Google, Amazon etc combined. XLM is PoS? There's no contest.

Objective_Digit

Bitcoin is vastly more secure than XLM.

Ohnoskies

Another hairbrained analysis. We just gonna ignore things that are actually useful like XLM, XDC, JASMY, HELIUM, BTT. Fetch, RNDR, GALA, AVAX, SOL? You get so caught up cause you can't get in on the memes, or ig bc you don't understand how to use these tools. Either way that's a pretty robot answer.

No-Elephant-Dies

Your thoughts on XLM?

hungryforitalianfood

XLM solved this problem as long as nobody keeps using it. That’s my point.

whitenoise2323

The point of this thread is that crypto will never take off with most people because Bitcoin and Eth are too slow expensive. I came along and said XLM is both fast and cheap. You said its a "dino" and I asked "how so?" and you started talking about the price. XLM solves the problem that this thread is about by being a fast, cheap, functional cryptocurrency. Few other cryptos have the same combo of low fees, high speed, and high transaction volume. Plus it's regulatory compliant and a decentralized protocol. And it uses a novel consensus algorithm and thus is neither PoW or PoS. "Nobody cares about it" is untrue (see tx volume) and also crypto isn't a popularity contest in crypto circle jerks because all people "care about" in online crypto spaces is what will make them rich. People in this sub and on crypto Twitter hate XLM because it's hard to manipulate.

hungryforitalianfood

It’s a metric of relevance, which is the main point of this comments thread. This tangent started when I made a comment about chains no one is using (aka irrelevant). I followed it up with literally “XLM is an irrelevant dino”. If you’re trying to transition into a conversation about fundamentals, XLM is also nothing special. No one cares about XLM. It doesn’t solve any problem, it’s not pushing the industry forward. There could be some adoption in the next decade, if it’s still around. More likely, it fades into irrelevant oblivion similarly to IOTA and other 2017 L1 chains that already had their heyday.

whitenoise2323

Wow. You have no idea wtf you are talking about. XLM is the most regulatory compliant coin out there, to the point where they get called a "banker coin". It's ISO20022 approved. They have KYC. If you want to launder money you'd go with Monero or something, but not XLM.

hungryforitalianfood

Not at all. XLM simply isn’t doing anything novel.

hungryforitalianfood

It’s just another project that didn’t pass its 2017 ath. Still down 87% from ath. If there’s stuff going on behind the scenes, theta cool but the market obviously doesn’t care. I haven’t heard XLM mentioned since 2021, and that was when it disappointed holders.

whitenoise2323

Dinos are big and dumb and obsolete and about to go extinct. XLM is none of the above.

hungryforitalianfood

XLM is an irrelevant dino though

unwantedcarrottop

People that say this are genuinely living on another planet. There is constant adoption/news with Stellar/XLM, their CEO is the only C-suiter in the crypto space advising the US Congress on policy and adoption, and their transaction speed, low energy use/carbon footprint, and transaction cost blows bitcoin, ethereum, and most other cryptocurrencies discussed on reddit out of the water and its not even close. This year for example they upgraded the network tl support DeFi protocols and smart contracts. Stellar's $100m Soroban fund is also already supporting 160+ projects. Participants include Axelar, Allbridge, and Band Protocol, Soroswap.finance, Blend, and much more. 15% of the $100 million was invested in dApps for lending, borrowing, insurance, auditing, and more use cases. Stellar/XLM is far from dead. Yes its annoying that Billionaires and bots and algorithms that control price action now haven't picked Stellar to have its day yet. That doesn't mean you should throw out the fact that it's environmental impact, cost, and speed are all probably infinitely better than most of the other cryptocurrencies you'll learn about.

lordsamadhi

XLM isn't a store-of-value. Sure, you can use it as a currency. But you can't hold it for years. Imagine how great it would be to have a perfect long-term savings tech that you can also use as a currency. That's Bitcoin combined with L2's.

knowledgelover94

0 use case. Doesn’t matter how smoothly a dead chain “works”, if you can’t do anything with it, it’s useless. At least solana and ethereum have a use case around smart contracts and a vibrant ecosystem. XLM is just a useless chain.

whitenoise2323

Dunno. Back before that I got into XLM which has been as fast as Lightning and basically free since 2019 so never had to look at another chain for actual transactions.

CareerOutrageous4757

No. It moved extremely slow. If ppl think XRP is slow then XLM is even slower. I have both XLM and xrp an my returns on xrp is better. I would just buy them in a pares. One by itself is not great but together it’s kinda worth it

brothapipp

I do all my transfers in XLM to save on gas.

CounterAdmirable4218

Yeah it might count for something. I was previously a heavy XLM investor. I seen what way the wind was blowing. The coin is dead unfortunately.

whitenoise2323

XLM is global, that's my point.

whitenoise2323

For remittances and settlement internationally some crypto is cheaper and more efficient than existing financial solutions. Looks at what XRP or XLM can do when compared to Swift or Western Union for example.

whitenoise2323

No. It has less transaction activity than many chains. BTC is number 8 in daily transactions coming in below TRX, ALGO, XLM, EOS, XRP, ETH, and DOGE https://www.tradingview.com/markets/cryptocurrencies/prices-most-transactions/

whitenoise2323

XLM, oddly not on that list, is cheap and fast and processes some of the highest transaction volumes.. much more than Bitcoin.

whitenoise2323

Exactly. OP is talking about Venmo being free but takes a few days. You could send any amount of money anywhere in the world for under a penny with XLM and it would take less than a minute. Bitcoin and Ethereum are dinosaur chains.

Single_Pea

XLM bat dash ens dimo vet and rbl. pick maybe 2 and swap the rest for less risk.

thejoeyg

I dont mean this in a negative way and I dont want my reply to sound like an A hole. With that said your question does show either your age or ignorance, and I only say that so you see an outside perspective. How many popular meme coins launch on xlm, how many popular web3 games use algo? What popular NFT collections are traded with XLM? These tokens are best known for 1 thing, cheap gas. Sol has cheap gas, SUI has cheap gas as do tons of layer 2's etc. SOl has a huge ecosystem of web3 games, some of the biggest volume of memecoins, perps, etc. SUI just partnered with TicTok's parent company for gaming, they are producing a handheld (think gameboy if you are a boomer). Cheap gas swaps is not a good use case. Hope this didnt come off as me being a d@ck.

purplecowz

XLM & ALGO are waiting in the wings

PhillerPaper

Do you realize in 2020 leading up to 2021, a bull run looked much less likely than it does now? BTC dropped -50% and alts as well. Do you think anyone predicted that $0.07 XLM that dropped to $0.035 was going to $0.70 after 1 year when everyone was locked down and many people lost their jobs? I use this example because XLM wasn't even hyped that much, but it was still possible to make huge gains on it. Rewind back to the beginning of COVID lockdowns. Remember how hopeless everything was? Stimulus checks were nothing compared to people losing their entire income.

CaptainRelevant

The fundamentals for XLM are worse than XRP in terms of the founders’ stockpile, and they only have one major partner (IBM) as opposed to hundreds of banks (XRP). People may hate XRP, but I’m not letting feelings stop me from making some money. I’d buy DJT stock if I thought it’d go up.

fan_of_hakiksexydays

They've already been using direct crypto payments for many years. So we're definitely not far lol, since it's already been a thing, and has been growing steadily for the last decade. Now there's Paypal and a lot of payment systems like Bitpay and Flexa to accept crypto, so a lot of businesses are gonna turn to those instead of just doing a direct wallet to wallet payment. I've used crypto payments, and volatility isn't an issue, because the payment is calculated in fiat. So you can use any crypto, and you'll pay the fiat value at the exact time you're paying. So you're never gonna pay double the value you'd pay with cash, or half the value or anything like that. I never felt the need to use stablecoins...maybe only deep in a bear market. I used XLM and LTC a lot more. They're stable enough to not be an issue, and are quick and cheap. As for tax and regulation, all sales transaction are taxed anyway, so a crypto transaction would just be like any normal cash transaction.

HunterHunted

Holding on to ALGO and XLM from last cycle, since shortly before they peaked... I've basically written those two stacks off, selling what's left for liquidity

uncapchad

So in response to some advice already given, you can withdraw that USDT on the Polygon network **in your own wallet** but you'll still have to bridge it back to ETH network before you can deposit it on Coinbase. You will need ETH in that wallet to bridge it back to the ETH network and gas to send it to Coinbase as they only accept ERC-20 I'm in the UK and that flavour of Coinbase does not trade XLM or XRP. So it is best to check what you are allowed to trade on Coinbase before deciding on a strategy. Any other coin traded on Coinbase, which trades on the USDT pair in Binance, is probably best bet. Stick to L1s unless you're absolutely certain Coinbase will accept those tokens. LTC or SOL. We get ADA here but not sure if it's allowed on the US-flavour.

maaseru

When nothing really crashed. Nope. XLM did got down way more than usual but still better than how it was doing a year ago. These articles always saying crash

Mediocreandhappy

XLM movement Hi, A little context: I transfered about 16000xlm to my friend or soon maybe "friend". He said he didnt recieve first. Then the bank froze the assets. And now I am ghosted.

bigslongbuysxrp

XRP/IOTA/XLM/ALGO/HBAR/NXRA that's what I reckon is a good play

whipstickagopop

Litecoin is one of those coins that is good for transferring around but not a good investment. That's why you have seen it fall out of the top 5 in 2017 and slowly ramp down to 20. Very similar to coins like XLM and Nano where they tout fast transfer speeds but doesn't correlate to price and have since fallen out of the top ranks. So from an investment perspective don't bother but if you're doing online gambling or something it's a good coin because of the quick and easy transfers.

Deep-Cow9096

I don't know why anyone would use either to go from exchange to exchange after 2017. It's a waste of money. Pretty much every exchange has USDC or USDT or combined USD/USDT/USDC trading pairs. Every exchange supports one or both on various networks beyond base ethereum. Withdrawal fees as low as a fraction of a penny. Trading to LTC or XLM incurs a trade fee. Transferring off exchange will have a withdrawal fee. Then in the destination exchange you'll have to trade for USD/USDC/USDT/BTC so you have the right, trade fee

cryptoquant112

I’m so gd tired of hearing about kaspa. Damn they must be paying a lot of you guys. Kaspa sucks. XLM, XNO, XMR and about 5 other payment coins are significantly preferable.

Redditmau5

Between LTC and XLM they are my most used coins either for buying(LTC) or transferring from exchange to exchange(XLM), but because of that I never hold any because I spend them as quick as I receive them.

MythicMango

Stellar DEX there's anchors for every token you can think of. atomic swaps guarantees you always get the best price. the network is fast and is extremely cheap to use (.0001 XLM)

Spmhealy_ADA

Tech doesn't matter. Solana is at the top due to big money deals and easy to create meme coins. If speed was important XLM would be #1 lol

7inky

I mean we might as well join forces. XLM lot too

maaseru

Maybe this causes XLM to latch back to XRP. Maybe we get .50

R4ID

> Active wallets XRP wallets function differently than on other networks, Wallets arent free and there is a Cost to activate/create a wallet. you also have the destination tag system which allows each wallet to create a sub wallet within itself. a Single XRP wallet can contain 2^32 unique accounts or (4,294,967,296) total users for a single wallet. This makes tracking total active users difficult as exchanges and many other places use a single wallet for hundreds of thousands of users. Total activated wallets passed 5 Million this year in Jan, its now at 5.135 Million in April, there is slow steady growth if you look at wallet activations. >txs have not increased on Ripple in the past 12 months average daily transactions atm is ~1.2 Million, 12 months ago it was ~900k. Not an insane growth I'd agree, but with AMM on the eve of relaunch in a few days, EVM sidechains now being online. Auto-bridging about to take effect and Ripples Stablecoin launch this year at some point (Id guess Around Swell, so Oct/Nov) Id say by December of this year it wouldnt be crazy to expect a rather large spike overall in network activity. > but how long before it drops out of the Top 10? LTC, BCH, EOS, TRON and XLM were top 10 coins 5 years ago. XRP has hasnt left the top 10 ever and its been around longer than BCH and EOS combined. in fact the only coin older than it that would be considered "still active" would be BTC and LTC. I think as far as "test of time" goes, XRP has passed just fine. >Continued steady decline in any project would leave me unwilling to bet on their future 20 years from now. there is no decline, only data and understanding how to read it. >ETH has name brand recognition now, but people always eventually move onto better options. Both Solana and Base have seen periods recently where overall activity has topped Ethereum, which is something new for this cycle, unimaginable last cycle. Say what you want about memecoins, but they are bringing new users to these chains and proving their usability. The memecoin casino game eventually does run out and isnt really "healthy" for the ecosystem (I would expect it to transition to some other blockchain next run and repeat again) It's issue tho is for every 1 user who makes insane profit, there are thousands that just experienced their first rug pull and will be turned sour to crypto as a whole forever. I will say one thing that I am rather surprised about is people are still interested in using SOL tho. Given the whole "failed transactions" debacle atm, I would of assumed people would prefer to use something that actually works.

Quixote0630

Active wallets and txs have not increased on Ripple in the past 12 months, despite the overall market cap growing and other ecosystems exploding with activity. Sure it can keep going at a steady pace, but how long before it drops out of the Top 10? LTC, BCH, EOS, TRON and XLM were top 10 coins 5 years ago. Continued steady decline in any project would leave me unwilling to bet on their future 20 years from now. ETH has name brand recognition now, but people always eventually move onto better options. Both Solana and Base have seen periods recently where overall activity has topped Ethereum, which is something new for this cycle. Say what you want about memecoins, but they are bringing new users to these chains and proving their usability.
