No crypto-savvy eye missed Ripples remarkable journey in 2017.
Ripple (XRP) Prices Heading For $2 In 2018 ? Is it possible
I expect Ripple to fall back to 0.50 USD. No proof of work, not decentralised and no open access. Not comparable with things like Ethereum or Litecoin. Not sure if I would see them as a crypto currency at all but then there is no standard definition for that I think.
It getting hard to have an uptrend motion right now. It looks like Ripple getting behind by Litecoin at this moment, not to mentions it's great records in previous years but it seems to become undervalued today. While Litecoin is still consistently having a nice shape of price.
