Ripple is behaving the same way Bitcoin did 6 years ago . Now is trading below 5$ and I wont be surprise to see it price hit 1500 USD in next 3 to 5 years.
Please do not confuse price with value. You realize that Ripple has MANY more coins in circulation compared to bitcoin, right? Ripple is currently the second ranked coin in terms of market cap. You should not compare it to bitcoin 6 years ago.
Is circulation only does not matter price increasing, you will find the ripple value bumps according to the demand and reduce of ripple in circulation only gives growth to that coin. Please invest on various coin. As a warning don't invest on ripple buddy. You will find the dump soon when the time bitcoin and ethereum value emerging in the chart.
Then they are completely banking oriented coin not fits for the crypto currency platform. They itself circulate currency each other for long time and make it stablize this much time. Recent dump in the bitcoin makes non-knowledge people to invest on ripple as the second choice.
