Ripple Expands Japan Bank Consortium to 61 Members. Price Predictions

This consortium is basically a commitment of the 61 japanese banks to use the Ripple protocol. I think this will result into a price spike after this market crash is done, because this consortium signals a mass adoption of Ripple within the japanese banking industry. They will save money using Ripple and complete faster transactions which will result in higher customer satisfaction, so using Ripple is a huge advantage for banks. Once other banks see what Japan is doing with Ripple other large banks will become interested and want to adopt it as well. I could see Ripple hitting 2$ by the end of the year that is my prediction because Ripple is working with so many different banks and financial institutions that their customer base will continue to grow. 3 years form now I bet that most banks around the world will be using Ripple to catch up to modern day payment technology.
