I'd follow the money. The money will be behind XRP - The media will pump XRP when the time comes. All currencies being created can be copied and duplicated by anyone. Those with the most money will have the best minds and the technology will skyrocket. Those with the most money can pay people for their time. It takes lots of time to create and build anything worth value. Skill and time spent is what give things we own or buy set value. Think of the super mansions and how much time it takes to build one. Think how many people participated. The material, the mining of rock, the production of cement, the tree fallers, the mill, the refining, the cabinet makers and on and on. One man could never build a super mansion let alone a mansion worth one million let alone 10 million in his life time by trading hour for hour. How many life times would it take? Follow the money. The money will lead the way as always. What gives Bitcoini it's value? What Gives XRP value? Who will be out front in the future? Bitcoin? XRP? or Digitalnote? Every coin has it's preachers trying to get you to believe and have faith. But this isn't church. This is the devil's Kingdom and decentralized currency is a pipe dream. Do you really think the USA will allow tax free money to float all over the place? The USA is leading the way and people are being manipulated and used to bring in a one world currency. There may be a way to get rich off the right coin. But eventually, you'll have to sell your soul to that devil that built it to use it. I've got about 32,000 XDN - Will buy a little XRP, won't be buying BTC - I will set it and forget it. More important things in life to tend to. I was in a thinking mode and just happened across your comment and decided to get my thoughts out. Hope you don't mind. This is how I'm seeing things at the moment. All the best.
