Thanks for the information @ revelacaogr and for sharing the charts @ NickCrypto!

The dump at the moment hurts a bit, even for me as a long time holder of XRP. But correlated with the actual price of BTC, the decrease isn't that significant. XRP is standing at 0.21$ now, 30% higher than during the dip in the middle of august. On the first look, swell might be disappointing. On the second look is networking exactly that thing, which Ripple needs to become introduced into a wider market and into a general public.
