So you would invest in something the feds are investin in ? You know that crypto was started to get away from the banks and the feds and now there's people like who are investing in something like ripple who's bank and gov friendly and created by and for the banks...
This is what puzzles me.

And despite that a lot of people still invest. I guess it's simply because of wanting to make a quick profit but the whole ideology behind xrp seems to go against the point of crypto to me.
