I don't like Ripple for few reasons: It's "The banking" coin and devs have a way too many coins to drop off.
In past few months XRP already lost 66% of it's value and I don't see a reason to goes up. My guess is that Ripple is slowly going to its Jan level of around 1000 satoshi.
It's not viable.
People here don't like Ripple (for whatever reason) that's a fact, now I would keep an eye on Ripple, they're keeping quiet, but they're working hard behind the scene:
