Anyone believing in decentralization, stop investing in this coin. They have found a good way to steal from all of you. If you are here to get money then go ahead.
Actually most coins are highly centralized in terms of hashpower and/or nodes.
Anyway, Ripple is built for corporate purposes, so they've gotta ensure that they'll profit if they'll hope to survive.
"corporate" purposes is just a scam word, of the corporate owning elite,
they want something to enslave idiots.
