Here - let me put it this way.
If you're an investor and want to get involved in the 2nd most probable "coin" system (misnomer for Ripple, i know) then you can currently drop $5,000 and purchase 500,000 ripple (XRP).
Now wouldn't it be nice if ripple went from $0.01 to .... say .... $1.00 ?
There have been estimates that if the network gets going, and does what its made to do, it would be realistically valued at $5.00 one day.
Just sayin. 500,000 x $5.00 = $2,500,000.
And it doesn't even compete with Bitcoin, so there is no conflict of interest.
Why not take a shot? I did.
