Ripple has grown exponentially in a few days, until passing Ethereum and becoming the second market cap after Bitcoin. But I take care not to invest even half a penny into it: in fact the only criterion that I follow in investing on cryptocurrency is: "(this crypto) what war fights?" If, like Ripple, it is centralized and therefore is controlled by the LONGA MANUS of the state, it is trapped in a statist cage that uses its power as a weapon against those who disagree. Enough reason for me to stay away.
