You absolutely have to love Ripple (XRP). It's up it's down it's all around and there's a ton of controversy all around Ripple these days. I personally into Ripple for the Long Haul. I think Ripple is an amazing technology. Ripple (XRP) can handle 1500 transactions as opposed to Bitcoins 7 transactions per second.
Ripple is currently sitting as the second largest cryptocurrency on the planet. As of today's date which is January 6th 2018, Ripple has a market cap of 122 billion dollars plus. It currently sits at about $3.17 on the exchanges. I'm happy to announce that I was able to get into ripple at $0.26 just three short weeks ago.
At $0.26 just 3 short weeks ago, Ripple was a steal meaning you could have purchased a butt load of this stuff for next to nothing. Today however, at $3.17 per coin, you can still get in a ripple and hopefully "HODL" it for the long term. I personally believe Ripple has the potential by the end of 2018 to be a coin worth anywhere from $8 to $15 maybe more.
Ripple Executives recently tweeted that three of the top five global big money transfer companies are planning to use (XRP) Ripple in their payment systems in 2018.
In addition, it has been rumored that Ripple may be the next major coin player to hit Coinbase. The two companies are literally 2 blocks away from each other at San Francisco.
Like anything else, the value of this particular coin is going to be driven by the people who are using it and by its very utility. So if it gets picked up by Major institutions Ripple could truly be a moonshot.

real crypto players may not like ripple because of it's centralised property and serving the financial institutions, so coinbase may not accept xrp trading
True story.
It would be nice to see it picked up by major institutions but I doubt that will happen in the near future, sadly. If you hold the coin for >3 years, it could have potential then. Rumors of companies picking it up or starting to use it have caused the price to bounce and be on its upward trend at the moment, but those are just rumors for now. :/
My opinion is that is a long-term hold. We'll see a $10 value by the end of 2018
Definitely a long-term hold. I predicted xrp to be around $4 by February back in November and I think we can hit closer to $20 by the end of the year honestly.
