Ripple is going to work. Ripple is going to rise.
I think it'll hit $10 this year.
Why? Because banks love Ripple, as noted. Ripple is making deals with plenty of real life retail companies. So the stock market, the non-crypto kind, will love Ripple.
And once banks decide to enter the realm of Cryptocurrency, do you know who'll own most Crypto, and as a result be the largest deciding factor for which cryptos rise and fall? That's right, pension funds and banks and such.
And they'll love Ripple. Both as an investment, and as a tool.
I may not buy Ripple now and will await a small correction, but the future of Ripple is going up. Even if Cryptocurrency users have issues with it. In the future, they're not the ones who'll decide on its worth.
