Just because you like it, doesn't mean that others would have to like it as well. Obviously there are a lot of people who like it enough to buy it and make it third place, so there are some people out there somewhere that likes it. But in this forum, I rarely see anyone who likes and supports it so you shouldn't really be shocked if people go against it.
I understand that you may want to invest into it as much as you can, and you are free to do that, we can't prevent you from investing into it, but at the same logic you can't make us like it and we will always provide reasons why we are not investing into it neither, that has to be the most important part and I believe that I am not going to end up investing into it at all.
I did not say I like it. What would make you create this assumption? I said he was wrong on his strong prediction on XRP similar to some of my strong predictions from the past hehehehe.
It appears that you are also not reading the news. Ripple will also have smart contracts in their new network built on XRP Ledger. This is their decentralized public blockchain which is speculated to be supported by big banks and big businesses.
Also, on what is considered Ethereum killer, this is measured by what the market is valuing more and this can only be determined by which one has the larger market capitalization.
Really? Then how come I haven't heard of any popular dApp being ported from ETH to the XRP Ledger? I'm talking about apps such as Uniswap, ENS, OpenSea, etc. XRP is just full of hype. Besides, you can't compare a "centralized shitcoin" against a decentralized one. ETH wins hands down if you're looking for a chain that's secure, reliable, decentralized, and censorship-resistant. If you only want performance, choose XRP or Solana instead.
I'm yet to see if Ripple's new stablecoin RLUSD will have a positive effect on XRP's market price over the long term. XRP already went down from its third place in market cap. It's currently the fourth-largest crypto by market cap. If the hype fades away quickly, it will be bye-bye to XRP for good.

There might be no popular dapp, however, it does not change the argument that creating a dapp and smart contracts in Ripple's new XRPL is very much possible.
Also, very much similar to Tether, XRP will not
bye bye for good. I predict that XRP will continue to exist for many more years. We might witness a higher price on XRP and we will return in this thread again to larp about XRP's doomage heheheheheheee.
