The announcement made today by the ripple execs doesnt seem to have been worked out well as the currency has continued the downfall.
Falling below Bitcoin Cash to the 4th most valuable currency, Ripple has also announced that they are not trying to compete with SWIFT while SWIFT is a totally different thing alltogether.
The estimates are that Ripple will continue the downward graph for some more period untill bouncing back to all time high.
Its just a matter of time and some patience untill it hits the skies once again. Advice is to invest and hold. Donot go short.
