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.
I bought some ripple 5 months ago and I couldn't hold those chep ones and I sold them with 15% profit. This is very sad. I admire you guys who are still holding those cheap ripples.
For the banking news, they speculated around the acceptance of ripple in the global banking system, yet there is no constructive step.
