and I also ask, how can you ask why the ripple died?
ripple has a strong investor and cooperation, even though many banks support the ripple project, so it is very unlikely (99%) for now ripple suddenly dies,
yeah that's why Ripple still exist untill today because ripple backed by big company, especially from banking industry where the are partnership with Ripple, that's make Ripple Stronger
In my opinion they are only interested in the technology of this project and have no interest in the value of XRP. In fact, the coin is very much dependent on the volatility of Bitcoin and it is impossible to predict what will happen next if the market declines. I am not interested in this coin because Ripple current supply is too large and every month hundreds of millions of XRP are unlocked so the price of this coin will drop even more in the near future.
You should think carefully when deciding to invest in this coin because I am sure XRP will return to the price of $0.1 this year and there are not many opportunities to make money during this time.
