I have read a little bit about ripple, and it looks like, that banks all over the world joining ripple.
What do you think, is it possible, that Ripple can be bigger (or even much bigger like with a 100 billion marketcap) than bitcoin?
Because i dont know what this (already over 90) banks will make with the price?
I cant really say it, will buy these banks all ripple, or will buy the people of this banks ripple?
How will be the effect on the price when the advertising from the banks will start?
Here are some news from the last days:
The biggest bank of japan (the 3th largest in the wolrd!) joined ripple

Joining BTMU are Bank of America Merrill Lynch, Standard Chartered Bank of the U.K., Royal Bank of Scotland, Spain's Banco Santander, Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce and Australia's Westpac Banking.
