You seem to be new to market dynamics.
If ripple do not have XRP, which they have been developing since 2005, what value do they have ?
What will the company be worth if their tech is void?
They hold the most XRP, so they will take the fall the hardest.
Is it so hard to understand?
Do you understand how many banks are currently using the Ripple blockchain network which they own and used XRP investors money for? W
Do you understand how many banks are currently using their XRP Virtual Currency which you own and paid Ripple for? L
How much money do you think it took them to create all that XRP? Lol
Apparently it is for you
Ripple depends on its blockchain technology which is awesome, XRP is a long-shot for bank acceptance and they know it but they're set and cashing in on it anyways.
I cashed on it as well so I can't complain and there is still time to cash in but long term no way in hell
