Is it true that Google is involved with this coin? What banks are seriously using it and to what extent?
It may not be the typical cryptocurrency but at the end of the day what most everyone really wants is a winner, not some ideological victory.
That is unfortunately what many have asked and unfortunately they havent been able to show anything to suggest they will for anything more than transaction fees. Banks have been playing with ripple for years and there has been no major buys so you can draw your own conclusion on that one...
Yes google are invested in the company Ripple, XRP is an offset of that. The money and time is in the protocol, not hedging their bets on the coin.
Read from a few pages back, its a good read, some laughs. Expect to be pumped up by pictures and those looking to benefit from your buy. What is funny today is BTC is down and thats when XRP usually has a spurt, its still lower than yesterday, the day before that and the day before that.... people are pumping other alts instead to get some more money for the next BTC rise... not even i expected the pump and dump coin to have no action on that one, been waiting for it to pump and people beat their chest over it being the news that it is now trying to become like other cryptos. Hang on if it was going to be number 1 why are they needing to do that again when its already so rock solid lol
be careful not to buy into the hype!

Yes, Google is One of the company who have officially invested in Ripple. It also includes many others including worlds largest banks and institutions ( which is why there is such a big misinformation campaigns by Basement coins and others - Also bitcoin miners hate them because bitcoin miners from china etc cannot mine and corner market in ripple, like they have done with bitcoin etc. )
So YES, Google is one of the parent investing company for Ripple.
