Oh and yeah, happy to have bought at the dip. I know it went even below a dollar but I'm very happy to have taken it at just over 1.15. Centralized yes, but have people already forgotten about how centralized ETH was and still is? And look at it grow. Perhaps there is something to be said about corporate greed and centralized leadership. I may not hold Ripple for years, but I suspect even a year can see reasonable gains. And by reasonable I definitely don't mean even more than double! Still a realist here.
Seems banks winning the war, it is no doubt that they control all fiat money. After they get enough users to use their tokens, they are gonna put taxation fees for trade, then you realize what you had and what you hold in that near future. All the centralized tokens have nothing to do with blockchain inception.
