Think people are catching up with Ripple not being what the market is striving for!
Ripple being centralized, controlled and through companies, actually owned by Bank of America!

agree.
however centralisation can make faster improvement in business. and it can make money for investors.
short term investors do not care about long term visions. x25 time profit is sufficient enough.
thats why people are buying ripple.
