With a ll the hype I see many people talking about and investing in Ripple/xrp. A quick word of advice BEWARE. For those who dont know ripple/xrp is a Bank back cryptocurrency developed by big banks because they were losing money and investors thanks to true crytopcurencies like bitcoin and steem. The only reason Ripple/xrp was developed was to MAKE BIG BANKS PROFIT. Banks have proven over history to be the biggest scam artist of all time so why would you trust them now? Ripple is a scam designed by banks to take advantage of the poor. Ripple has a goal of in 10 years being in inner city and disenfranchised poverty stricken neighborhoods with grocery stores and corner stores that ONLY ACCEPT RIPPLE at a ridiculously over fluctuated price. A $1 soda will cost $5-6 in xrp. PLEASE DONT BUY INTO THIS.
STEEM. Steem has exploded in profit value and will continue to do so. As more more users come to the steemit plate\market will increase 5-20x. 2018 will be the largest increase for steem thus far. Unlike ripple steemit is not a scam and actually add value to human culture by SHARING the wealth so we can all benefit as a community.
