grab em while you can!
$2 is not a close target for ripple, but this can happen in 2019 or 2020 without doubts. Because the market will keep expanding over and over and this will shift the prices even to higher points.
I guess people still think decentralization is another fancy word. You cannot really decentralizes while Ripple is a project led and managed by a team. No matter how good they are, just like ETH, they are still by definition centralized. So cannot bandy that term around like it will mean something. They are still unproven in terms of development. They have a lot of things promised and have so much to catch up to next year. Still not sure why the price is increasing, but I guess that is just new money coming in from all the new Bitcoin players looking to diversify and thinking they were late to Ethereum.
