you cannot blame people who expect more from Ripple mate, and of course the spam that constantly happening in every thread so expect those to come from time to time , not mentioning US who invested in XRP.
The problem with XRP is that it is a speculative token. This is a centralized coin that in my opinion is mistakenly listed with cryptocurrencies. XRP is the electronic equivalent of Fiat. If anyone believes that this type of product will be successful in the financial market, that's his business. However, along with investors awareness of what Ripple really is, the interest in it decreases. In my opinion, this is the main reason for the price drops.
while Bitcoin still struggle to make 20% increase yet this coin take it there.
so better to follow your instinct and not someone's word that the truth is will never lose anything from yours.
