What stands out? While anyone who says they know what the future price of Crypto currencies will do is a liar, I do know that I would stay away from XRP. TOP 5 in Market CAP!!! While it currently sits at $1.12us.
WOW- so that means if it ever caught Bitcoin in Market Cap valuation it would have a price somewhere in the $6.25us range.
I do expect the Crypto Market to continue it's bull run. I just have a hard time believing the hype that surrounds XRP.
