XRP is a long term hold, 1 year from now it will have made a lot of people very happy. Every week it seems more banks are looking into the Ripple technology
It's just abit discouraging to see the price remain so stagnant despite all these banks using ripple.
Ask yourself, do Banks shy away from easy money? You can rest assured no Bank has bought a single XRP from Ripple at market-price.
Ask yourself, will droves line up do sent money to a company in San Francisco to buy xrp which is backed by absolute nothing.
Ask yourself, will banks pay for a money service or will they charge for it? Yes banks have copied ripples code to create the own Distributed Database. (Project Ubin)
Emerging markets (india..) buy something they have real use for, mobile phone talk time. Thats why M-Pesa has taken of. I do not like the development of it, but thats an entirely different story.
Unconfirmed 1,225,087 xrp have been sold the past 50 days, daily average. It should be 24,600,000 Million when Bitcoin distribution model is used. The fewer sold early the bigger the problem later.
