Stellar

Digital currency stellar soared 20 percent Wednesday after online payments company Stripe said it may add support for the cryptocurrency.

Stellar, or XLM, climbed to about 58.96 cents, up 21.2 percent on the day, according to CoinMarketCap. That gave the digital currency a market value of about $10.3 billion, making it the sixth-largest cryptocurrency by market cap. Stellar traded near 58.1 cents as of 9:05 a.m., ET.

Stripe handles payments for more than 100,000 businesses, including Warby Parker and OpenTable. The company announced Tuesday afternoon that it would stop processing bitcoin transactions on April 23 due to slower transaction rates and high fees.

But "we may add support for Stellar (to which we provided seed funding) if substantive use continues to grow," Stripe product manager Tom Karlo said in a blog post.

"If bitcoin doesn’t have a future as a cryptocurrency then I’m not sure what good it is for anyone, I’m afraid.

The only valuation method that I have felt comfortable with was based upon it grabbing a slice of the daily fiat currency market. But if its use as a fiat currency is not possible, then that valuation goes out of the window.

In light of this, it may be time for one of the altcoins such as Ripple (XRP) or Stellar Lumens (XLM) to replace bitcoin and deliver on the latter’s failed promise. Incidentally, Stripe also advised that is looking into offering support for Stellar Lumens."

Payment processor Stripe announced Tuesday that it will end support for bitcoin as a payment method in April.

Product manager Tom Karlo wrote in a blog post that Stripe would transition away from bitcoin over the next three months, fully ending support for the largest cryptocurrency on April 23, 2018.

Stripe first enabled bitcoin transactions in 2015, a move that came a year after first testing the technology. At the time, residents from more than 60 different countries could pay merchants on Stripe's network using bitcoin.

However, lengthy transaction times, an increasing transaction failure rate, and growing fees mean bitcoin is becoming less popular among Stripe's merchants and users, Karlo wrote.

He continued:

"Because of this, we've seen the desire from our customers to accept Bitcoin decrease. And of the businesses that are accepting Bitcoin on Stripe, we’ve seen their revenues from Bitcoin decline substantially. Empirically, there are fewer and fewer use cases for which accepting or paying with Bitcoin makes sense."

While Stripe will no longer accept bitcoin payments, Stripe remains "very optimistic about cryptocurrencies overall," Karlo wrote, saying he believes support for other coins may be implemented at a future date.

The problematic fees were similarly cited by gaming services firm Steam, which announced in early December that it would stop offering support for bitcoin payments. At the time, a representative for the company said that the elevated fees "cause even greater problems when the value of bitcoin itself drops dramatically."

In the Stripe post, Karlo left the door open to enabling payments in other cryptocurrencies, namely stellar lumens, the currency of the Stellar network.

"We may add support for Stellar (to which we provided seed funding) if substantive use continues to grow," he wrote.

well people were falling over themselves to buy at 0.65p...and here they have the fear of a placing??? last placing was done at 0.28p...

anyone looked at stellar lumens value??ripples value???

satoshipay is linked to both...this is the calm before the storm. unless you are lucky and can get in placing then the time to buy is now...

plus where will placing be???0.4p???0.35p??? personally think quite a few are going to be wrong footed...

my advice to friends was wait till volume drops off..we had only 400k until mate just bought the 2mill today...all the air is gone..:)

Feels like cash on the raise for insiders

It is governed by them if you look at the volume. Have you noticed the weight of sells over the last 6 month or so.

If a fund was selling out it would have been well over by now.

[cool hand kev] 23/1/2018 15:13

So how can the board predict the share price movement? It's not governed or controlled by them
and do they hold sufficient stock to cause 3% share price swings? Unlikely I would think.

[3rd eye] 23/1/2018 14:53

imho its the board itself who are buying and selling this stock. Must have made a fortune on the daily swings. Just keep it below 3% and jobs a good un.

They arent breaking any rules.

Why bother about the business when you can make a bomb daily on swing S/bets and CFDs.

Easy money. Think about it.

Going forward
We’re well aware of the hype vortex surrounding cryptocurrency. We can’t escape it, but we can try to see through it. We advise you to try, too, because past the hype is the future. The whirlwind will eventually calm, and some set of blockchain technologies will survive to form a critical new layer of the Internet. We strongly believe Stellar will be one of them.

Our technology speaks for itself. We have a strong and growing partnership network. We look forward to sharing our 2018 Roadmap with you in the coming days.

More directly correlated to the crypto currency market than to any mythical placing. Complicated by those flipping between crypto shares. Read the boards. Do keep up.

[pwhite73] 23/1/2018 08:48

Joe Mug PI put money on the table all the way up to 0.69p. 0.30p has already been taken off and there is more to come off.

I did opionate the silence and the fall in the share price are not coincidental.
