So XRP(Ripple) has bypassed Ethereum to become no. 2 coin on coinmarketcap and it has seen about 70% growth in last 24 hours and about 300% gain in past week or so. Is it still the right time to get into it and buy some XRP. Some people might argue Ripple is centralized and Pump & Dump coin but a trader basically looks for profit not other so much about other factors.
No. The hype is an illusion. Although it surpassed the ETH, the fast you grow has a consequence of a bigger downfall. It is too late. Yet with its low price, it is still good to buy, but you must accept the consequence if and if it would dump.
I still trust XRP. It has a lot of potential and have a great future in world of Crypto.
Still, I suggest not to follow the hype. But to use your guts and trust. All depends on the investor's mindset.
