i never purchased xrp ever beacuse investing in xrp is just like making fun of decentralization. but it seems that it was the best coin to make handsome ammount of money.. xrp is not just hyped crypto but bank related institution likes to adopt xrp rahter than btc or eth so it is not losing its value very low
