I don't believe in Ripple because it was a centralized cryptocurrency, plain and simple. You need to be really good crypto and have something unique in feature to make holders interest and tolerant your centralized.
You might not like ripples because of the system of the platform. but ripple still has a large market and a community that I think is quite large. I used to like a ripple, but now that the price has been destroyed, I no longer see any significant development of this asset.
I'm the same, used to have a lot of Ripple too because even with a centralized feature, it has a good history of going upset in the market. That id the main point I willing to tolerant its downside but after a lot bad news about founder sold his Ripple bag, fail to meet up the hype, I don't hold it anymore.
