Ok so I have to buy BTC and trade it for XRP in order to obtain some Ripple. Knowing how the forex market works, im wondering if I bought my BTC at 16k instead of 18k, would I be able to afford more XRP compared to buying BTC at 18k? or is it the exchange rate constant?

Thanks for the replies !!

Just take a second and think this over, buying bitcoin right now at whatever price it is and holding it will surely get you more profit than buying ripple, because of how much bitcoin is popular and how high its price is when there is an increase in price it goes up by a hunders of dollars and somtimes thaousands, while with ripple it is still new and who knows how much it will take to make decent profit from it, i say quality over quantity, there is a much more profit to be made with bitcoin rather than ripple.

Sure you're probably right but that's not what he asked, actually I don't really know what he asked. Sounds like he's saying does the price of bitcoin in usd matter. If so then what is important is the bitcoin to ripple price, probably it would increase if bitcoin went down in price but at the same time ripples price can change.

He didn't really able to clarify on which conversion he do mean BTC/XRP ~ XRP/BTC -/- BTC/USD~ XRP/USD. Most of the time when bitcoins price drops and the price of XRP did just retain to its price on btc form then for sure you would really earn more Ripple since you do have if we do base if bitcoins price value or digits but it would just correlate if price of ripple would go into opposite direction too.
