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
Personally, I still believe in the huge potential of the crypto market. Good cryptocurrencies today really have good prospects for development and appreciation from next year. One of such examples is Ripple, which will definitely grow and become more expensive in 2019.
Almost everyone is optimistic about the current market conditions, I suggest continuing to hold even buying so that we can feel big profits after more than a year of illness or near death.
