Riak will recover in the near future, rest assured that Ripple will not just give up. Ripple is a good and trustworthy coin, so we don't need to worry about Ripple anymore. Of course it will return to normal again
Frankly, I do not like Ripple in terms of speculation, but I think the coin has a future for good reason it is on the 2-3 place in capitalization.
For speculation, I think this coin is great, the schedule at ripple is always the same and is well suited to earn , but for a long investment, I would not consider
