1 - I'd buy the dips, by placing a descending column of buy offers in bitcoin in a XLM/BTC market; placing the proceeds back for sale as an ascending sell column. That way you automagically buy dips and sell recoveries yet still can spread the sell side so far up you dont expect it to get bought, and dfar again beyond that in case your expectation was wrong. I am finding it a good pair myself, with an average of about two trades per day at, by spacing the offers 100 satoshis of price apart and the spread 400 satoshis. This way you buy both XLM and BTC, each on their dips relative to the other, so even if both go down in fiat terms you continue aquiring both regardless.

2- In size price etc I figure yes but not by catching up, just following it up; but in becoming all big-brother-ish and fossil banking system aligned I hope not.

3- Back in the winter (northern hemisphere) of 2017-2018 or sometime around there it peaked I think at almost $5 CAD which would have been likely even approaching $4 USD so if XLM and ZRP are going to reach their all time highs again XRP would have to surpass $3. It remains to be seen though unfortunately whether alt-seasons going forward will be seeing many all time highs. Long term though I figure both XLM and XRP will have them just cannot be sure which year, things might be a little different this time around some seem to suspect.
