Short time i guess. When i see Ripple its change constant values. But its certainly good coin.But i think not a long term coin.
Also,I don't think Ripple will survive in the long run anyway. It goes against most of what cryptocurrency stands for and I hope it won't be used much in the future.
I agree that Ripple is short term. It has a possibility to disappear in the near future. I think that this token cannot survive for a long term. It easily change their price over time. however, I considered this kind of token as the good one.
