Because.... why not?
Ripple is a bank coin, the point of cryptos is to bring the power of money to the people, so why not profit off of Ripple then reinvest in real cryptos.
I've recently gone full circle away from Bitcoin Cash and am in full support of the grandaddy of Crypto, Bitcoin Core among other cryptos... but yeah Bitcoin Cash and Ripple are both negative coins in my opinion for different reasons, Ripple is a bank coin, BCash is a scam. What coins are you invested?
Hold on to your XRP because this week, Ripple will be listed on a Japanese exchange DMM with 27 million users
Yeah I fully expect Ripple to go on a bull run soon
Used by banks doesn't mean it's a bank coin. Although I do agree a centralized cryptocurrency goes against the nature of BTC.
I know it's not owned by banks... of course, but it empowers banks by saving them money, taking away the real potential of cryptos which is supposed to be about the individual being his or her own bank.
