I don't think that Ripple history is going to the end. In my mind it is more reasonable to say that Ripple has overdrawn its potential. Maybe it would be the right definition of what has happened. I am not a Ripple supporter and this currency is not interesting for me.
XRP does not going to end this soon. It could be easily possible that we can still see multiple times rise of this coin during the coming bull run and also it is one of the top coins in the market cap wise. SO it will not end that soon.
