written by reader What is the cryptocurrency Jim Rickards is about to recommend Saturday?

By arnosthe1, January 19, 2018

In an email from Rickards today (jan. 19) he says he will reveal his only crypto recommendation tomorrow. I figure if I knew what it was I could beat the stampede.

My guess is Stellar Lumens (XLM).

Yes, I think it has to be. IBM announced its move into Stellar in October 2017.

I think it’s deplorable that any of these raquets are allowed to continue with their predatory practices of deceptive advertising, along with their outlandishly excessive fees. Why doesn’t the state attorney general’s office do something about them?

Call over, yet no mention of which currency he is hinting at… unless you subscribe to another product. For $2k. Mentioned partnership with IBM, which further supports the XLM hypothesis.

XLM does appear to have a relationship with IBM (just search), but ADA is another currency that is around .70.

Not sure either of these has the potential to zoom up more than 10x over time if you go to coinmarketcap and check their total units vs. price.

I would love them both to go much higher, cuz I own both, but if XLM has a 17B supply of units x current price of $.53/unit = around $9B of market cap.

If it increased to $5.00/unit, that would be around $90B of market cap. Bitcoin is currently only $216B of market cap. In conclusion, if XLM went even 10x from its current pricing, it would be move from #9 to #3 largest crypto and that would truly be Stellar! 😉

If you look back just a week, even the price of XLM lines up – it was about 70 cents. 99% sure it’s XLM. In fact, I just dropped about another $2K on XLM, rather than paying his fee to find out it’s XLM. 🙂

As someone who owns a good amount of XLM this would be great, but as a new investor and the pitch to buy this “.70” coin I am expecting a lot more gain base on what was said……. The IBM Stellar partnership has been known since last OCT https://www.coindesk.com/ibms-stellar-move-tech-giant-use-lumen-cryptocurrency-payments-rail/ I really wonder if this is the coin….

by the way it doesn’t appear that large gains are possible, based comments by others in this thread.

I, too fell off the turnip truck, but quite a while back, and that’s why I’m still kind of skeptical about any of these so called cryptos. But if I did decide to take a wild gamble on XLM, why do they make you have to buy Ethereum before you can buy XLM?!

XLM has a huge market cap right now as it is, can’t see it with the gains Jim was talking about. And IBM and Stellar have been working on stuff together for a few months (http://fortune.com/2017/10/16/ibm-blockchain-stellar/) not really hush hush. If Stellar grows 100x it would be 5x bigger than Bitcoin right now. I think everyone in the crypto space knows Stellar too.

and that’s just based on circulating supply not total supply. Jim was saying that this .70 coin will get to Bitcoin Levels – so let’s $10k per coin to be safe x total supply 100B = 100,000,000,000,000 for this one coin. Either Jim know nothing about the crypto world and nothing about finance or this is not the coin he is talking about.

Jim sent out a revised transcript and that the price at the time of taping was $0.53. Also said the Crypto has a relationship with Deloitte, which Stellar has.

Looking at coinmarketcap.com today, it would appear that may thought it may be EBTC. Price prior to 1pm was about 0.7 and spiked immediately afterwards.

It doesn’t look like EBTC does anything that Jim explained.

Has anyone heard if Jim Rickards actually recommended Stellar Lumens? The price has been increasing rapidly this week and it appears that is due to in part to his recommendation.

I guess there is a segment of the population that no longer reads Fortune. This is old news. FWIW – I agree Stellar looks promising. Is it the cure to cancer, probably not.

He also mentioned the London Exchange in the Presentation. What if something really big is on it way. He is a very respected gold bug and investor. Yet he only recommend allocation 10% in precious metals and recommends more in cash for liquidity. He also uses IMB Watson for his project prophecy which the government version of it was used to find illegal trading right before 911. it was a computer system put in place to see if something illegal was being done on the stock market prior to 911. Almost irrefutable evidence says some type of insider trading occurred. Who knows for sure. But IBM Watson beat the years best Jeopardy Players hands down its a top 5 worlds most smartest type of thinking computing predictive computer. It is possible it could be a pump or his relations ship with IBM and his Project Prophecy has given him privy information. I really think the coin is XLM steallar Lumen. Did anyone buy the membership? that person would know for sure at least what the coin may be.

He’s talking about XLM. Jim has very close ties to IBM… Jim is currently spinning up Meraglim which is a big data project to read markets using IBM Watson tech, running it through his Bayesian models developed for the CIA. Jim’s son also runs Waterfund, who Jim helped get hooked up with IBM to develop the first ever water price indexing model. Jim also fairly regularly talks about Hyperledger fabric tech. So it’s XLM. He must be hearing some stuff he’s convinced about from IBM about the future of Stellar.

Great insight. i knew some about XLM but not about Meraglim, or Beyesian models developed for the government.

If this joint venture between IBM and Stellar is supposed to make XLM go way up past the 70 cents level, than why is it down to 34 cents today?
