It seems XRP has gained some attention.

A quote from BitCoinLiveNews - 'Most of the technology powering the Ripple Consensus Ledger has nothing to do with cryptocurrency either. For banks, it is an ideal solution to bridge the gap between traditional finance and blockchain. '
For example the Bank of England successfully completed a Ripple Consensus Ledger Trial.
Ripple has also passed the a milestone of 50 validations with validators such as Microsoft, MIT and CGI, check out the story here.
Ripple/XRP intrigued me a few months ago, and I acquired a decent number for safe keeping.
I've taken the plunge too. I'm in for the long term - HODLing for a while yet to see where it goes.
