Ripple and XRP are two diffrent things. Ripple is an organization that offers many products, one of them is XRP token. This token doesn´t have any value, it is not a share of Ripple company and other products do not support mainly XRP token. So, you have to believe that Ripple will push more XRP token into its others product and integrate it. Without it XRP won´t have any value in the future. 
I was not aware of the difference between ripple and XRP as you mentioned 
. If Ripple is providing XRP then how can that be two different things, why is everyone ignoring logic. If a company comes up with a centralized coin and you are telling both are not the same which was funny to begin with.As for Ripple aka XRP i am not a big believer that it has a big future 10 years down the line but i do not mind profiting from it if there is a rally.
