Found an article purporting to prove that it does, but not sure if I believe:

https://decryptmedia.com/2018/11/28/infographic-how-crypto-news-generates-fake-ripple-hype/

Have always thought this, thoughRipple, according to the shittest of the shittest crypto sites, is literally ALWAYS "poised to rally" or whatever, and it never does. Yeah, it's the best performing crypto, but the hype that swirls around it (and other currencies) is, like, 90% fabricated.

Well I would say that ripple was probably the most bought coin by people who entered the cryptocurrency market in 2017. Since then there have been a number of crypto related news sites that have popped up that were not around from 2013-2016 so it makes sense that these website owners may be ripple holders.

Ripple has one of the most active subreddits also, its no surprise that news is blown out of proportion because there are a ton of bagholders.

Now this doesn't mean XRP is a shitcoin, far from it, even though it generates alot of hype it still is a viable crypto for the future.

I do think XRP was the most bought coin by people who don't really do their research on various cryptos.

1.) XRP is cheap and it attracts people

2.) Many media outlets always write about banks using Ripple's network, but really many people got misled because they assumed banks using XRP, the token itself, which it isn't true.

3.) Bitcoin and Ethereum are too expensive to own one coin, but XRP isn't so people like the idea of having multiple coins for $100. Plus XRP is at #2 overall market cap now.
