I find it very strange because people who really believe in the cryptocurrency market still manage to support XRP. Everyone should have their own opinion, but I do not support the XRP project.
XRP has got potentials the way i see it and is a good investing opportunity but then, its far from being the next bitcoin. I would have considered Ethereum but then, non of the cryptocurrencies would attain the growth bitcoin has attained so far. So, having eyes on bitcoin growth as at now and views on XRP would be an exaggerated fact for these currencies and would be extremely difficult to contend with in the long run. A few weeks of growth is far less for a long term investment analysis.
Wit the recent problem they are facing, I don't see the potential anymore, they are now battling the SEC and usually the chance of winning is very low so its investors will definitely get affected with this trial they are facing. Good luck to them, hopefully they'll be able to surpass this big problem as it could kill their project and many will regret investing in ripple.
