Interesting - I personally am not a fan of Ripple (for many reasons, maybe also because I told myself not to put $100 into Ripple when it was $0.30 hahaha), but if you believe in each company's other endeavors than this could certainly be a winning strategy.

The only thing that could deterr people would be that price swings in Ripple could affect all of these companies, so as you are diversifying in a sense your diversified portfolio is still going to take a hit from downswings of one essential player. However, in essence that's exactly how the whole cryptosphere works (or even stocks in general - if the general health of the market is low, many truly diversified positions can still take a hit) so, maybe not the most essential point but certainly something to think about.

Thank you for the article!
