When I read about XRP it was clear that there will be a lot of speculation around it. That is why I bought in the first couple of weeks. I will be dumping soon as I can't see where this project is going. It's one of many coins that relay on pump and dump but this one somehow managed to surface better that other shitcoins.
My advice will be play a little with the current hype but DO NOT INVEST! Good luck on the quick couple of bucks.
