There will always be people with conflicting interests though, people who hate on anything that is not Bitcoin, people who hate anything that is not advertised as "decentralized" (but they don't know what it means to be decentralized); and lastly another group of uninformed people who follow blindly on what the first group of people is intentionally or unintentionally says about XRP.
If those kind of people weren't a thing, then we'd be at 5$ already.
