idk the answer... seems like a lotta hype to me
Ripple technology is solid, a $3.75 Ripple is obviously the result of a pump, but in my opinion there is still growth potential for Ripple at the current price point. Ripple will likely follow the growth curve of bitcoin if nothing else, aside from its own merits.
