I think at this moment, the Ripple can be a long term investment since many people supports their services and many people are still with them.
Therefore you can ensure your future with them.
Many people? I'm not impressed of what Ripple is doing. I'm not ever going to buy this centralized token that can collapse anytime. You can go long term with this coin but you'll never assure that this coin can survive once its value increases. Many already warned you folks that this coin is a bankers coin and you know what the banks are for right? it's still early to think of this and you can think again soon while you can. But as for the profits, I know you'll never leave.
