I could not understand why people are still keeping their faith on corporate coins. One day or other they will realize their foolishness of believing into ripple kind of centralized assets. Ripple may soar but it will not get you freedom-filled-rich like how bitcoin will do honestly. (In the past ripple funds had been frozen out similar to bank accounts).
They don't come for freedom, they come for a way to make them rich asap. I know someone IRL who not much involved into crypto but know about XRP. They talk about investing in XRP and how XRP will make a profit for them.
The mainstream people lead by the hype (well almost all of us too to be fair).
but the hype will cause a massive pump like xrp. But something that pumps so much like that will last sooner.
