Hello all!

Firstly, this is my first post on this forum and would like to say hi to everyone, especially Ripple followers.

Secondly, I am a follower of Ripple. I am not fond of it (since it's currently centralized and controlled by the banks) but I find it interesting. I bought some XRP coin before the big jump just to be part of the game.

Thirdly, have some questions...

a) Ripple announced (if I remember correctly) that they will announce 2 major non-banking firms that will partner with Ripple for New Year's Eve but they didn't. Could anyone speculate with concrete arguments why they haven't done that already? Or did they just make fake marketing to pump the XRP coin and fool people into buy it?
I remember a tweet from Ripple about the announcement they didn't make - they sad that these things take time. Yes, sure but why did they sad it in the first place?

b) People are speculating that those 2 non-banking firms would be Amazon and Uber. What is you opinion on that?

c) Ripple announced that they will decentralize the XRP token. Does this mean that Ripple would get rid of their major share of the XRP tokens? What will happen with the price?

Thanks for every reasonable reply.

It sounded like you were too late to dump XRP right at its ATH.

Normally when companies announce something like they will produce something superior, its mostly marketing. Its not fake marketing but consider something of a delay for a bit. Don't get too excited to dump, they will announce soon. Also the price of XRP had appreciate over time even when its not decentralized, why would they? But then maybe they will decentralize it.

I've heard news are coming in 2 weeks, just by the end of January.
