Personally, I have not invested in rippl. But I read good reviews about this coin. So in the future I think to increase my portfolio.
For a long investment, of course it is better not to consider, I think the best solution is to buy when a bullish trend begins and sell already at the top, since the sequence in ripple is repeated
I think XRP is not the potential cryptos for the long-term investment. Although XRP is standing at 2nd position in the market, and in my view, the future of XRP is not as good as ETH. Therefore, if you want to make the profit, invest ETH now and wait for the bull run.
