They set themselves up between a rock and a hard place, if they want to maintain the price, at this rate of distirbution it will take more than half a century to inject the 50 billion XRPs they promised into the market, if they go quicker..... 
When I asked, they said they wanted to do distribute the 50 billion within 2 years. Obviously, they had a change of plans.Lots of people are going to get hurt on this once it pops as they prolong it, and I do think this is on the verge of scam now in how intransparently and arbitrarily they issue XRPs.
