I've bought and sold a lot of ripple over the past few days, ultimately increasing my bitcoin holding in the process and increasing potential profits. Let's face it, a lot of people are only investing in crypto to make money (fiat) otherwise why else do you see headlines such as "I'm now a millionaire" etc.
The growth in ripple has helped me increase my holdings in bitcoin, and with the lowered price of bitcoin right now, any increase in the price of bitcoin means I'm turning a bigger profit than if I had just done nothing and sat on my original bitcoin holding.
To chastise people for doing this isn't really fair as we all ultimately use fiat currency every day for our daily routines and to chastise people for seeing an opportunity to make a little fist through buying and selling a crypto is wrong.
Whilst a lot of people don't understand the reasonings behind crypto, there's a lot of people who do understand labour making profits through speculative investments, of which this is a form of.

So there I've said it I'm riding the ripple wave at the moment in order to maximise my own personal bitcoin holdings
