Sure I agree with you, but what about it? None of this will ever change the fact that Ripple is a centralized shitcoin. It may draw gullible people in or those that are simply ruled by greed, but it will not do more than that regardless of its marketcap. Anyone who knows even the basics of crypto will reject Ripple without breaking a sweat.
The harsh truth is that up to 90% or even 99% of investors in the market are only interested in profits, not many people care about decentralization and privacy as they claim. That is also why not only XRP but also many other centralized altcoins still exist and continue to grow.
So as long as XRP still has the potential to generate returns there will still be a lot of people investing in it, and it will not disappear or die like many bitcoin maximalists say.
If you are interested not only in bitcoin news but also in news about the entire crypto industry. You will see XRP being the most mentioned name because they have very good relationships with the Trump administration and banking institutions around the world. This means that whether we like it or not, the truth is that it will continue to exist over time, regardless it is a centralized shitcoin as we call.
