Ripple has a big potential with it's developer and investor, they love to start a bull run periodically then smash it like nothing. If you can catch that "ripple" on it's start you can gain 10x-15x but if you be late you can lose a lot, it is risky but if you look at yearly graph it is about time and today's rise seems like a signal.
Actually I now believe more in XRP as its already in coins app where I can stock my xrp . I will invest in it while its cheap so I can get a good profit someday .
I used to believe till last year and it has risen a lot as well and helped people to make money on this coin. But this year as being a real fail of this coin and never shown any rise or investors interest in this coin. Does not know why this is being dumped by people so badly.
XRP saw a small increase in the price a few days ago after the announcement about the partnership with three exchanges for xRapid, I bet some investors got interested and started pouring capital into XRP.
About "
this year being a a real fail", XRP isn't the only coin getting dumped right now, the entire altcoin market is getting dumped (in fact, it's been happening for the last two months or so). So I wouldn't say
fail, the alts market is simply taking a big hit after it got pumped to some insane levels, the beark market has triggered a
cleaning season and hopefully some shitcoin will dissapear from the cryptosphere, but Ripple isn't one of those coins.
