After this realization I had to give up on Ripple completely
how'd that work out for you?
Well come back and ask him over a couple of years once you have got screwed by ripple

just because the price have been manipulated now doesn't mean you have a winning ticket. Sheeps get normaly slaughter when master thinks that time is right
This types of posts make me feel bad about people who stayed away from something due to "principles" and because of those decisions, are stuck in a rut when it come to price and profit. Yes, I'm thinking of you Ethereum Classic supporters. Most of you thought it was an abomination to have the blockchain rewound so everyone would get their Eth back. I still respect you for sticking to your principles. And maybe there will be people who never use Ripple or Dash because they believe it was a scam. I still respect them too.
