Ripple is still not among my favorite coins and I am still don't believe in it. I am sure that it will not be able to compete with EOS and NEO in the future.
True I also haven't bought any ripple yet,after the launch of x-rapid and so much marketing still the price of ripple is below average.Any positive movements should have hiked a price a bit,but that doesn't seem to happening right now.Everyday it has been in the news but unfortunately people are either guessing $589 or $5.89 EOY.That is just a simple speculation.There are lot more things going on at present.
some more news :-
