Putting money in xrp is just like you saving your money on tether without expecting any profit in return. Many people are judging it by its previous rise which was the same way many other coin rose as a result of bull run of all altcoins, so bitcoin can only increase through bull run, and you know that, most bull run value does not always last in the market and I even dont a little if the bull run of this year will affect xrp.
If you see many people taking of ripple and advising people to invest in it is just because they already made a mistake of investing in it, and what would you expect from them rather than for them to just continue to promote the coin so it can witness growth for their investment to be able to yield result and not because it as much use case.
