Ripple is the only cryptocurrency supported by Google Ventures. Ripple Labs has created a lot of interest in Blockchain technology with Interledger Protocol (ILP), including from Apple and Google, according to information I've read in the media. ILP can carry this coin for wider use. Interestingly the Ripple system has also been used by Citi, Visa, and Nasdaq. Ripple offers advantages such as Blockchain for faster international payment settlement and has added 75 clients in the banking world.
With ripple at the current price of 67c do you think its worth investing in it or not?
You aren't wrong if you want to invest in it, because the spread of these coin is growing day by day.
Do you belive it will increase in price in the near future?
I don't think, so it might still take 1 or 2 more months and this isn't much different from other crypto coins.
Well well well... if Google's supporting it, then it can't be completely useless, can it? I expect it will get some kind of boost if Google says something about it. That's what has me confused about Ripple. It looks useless but there is a lot of support for it coming from major networks and institutions like the banks.
I think it might be worth putting a little bit into at this stage. It's so low you wouldn't lose much anyway. 100 coins at 67 cents each could very well turn into $6.70 if these Google claims prove to be true... but wouldn't Google want to do their own thing? Why all this hype about Ripple in particular?
