Ripple VS Bitcoin...Why?

Hey cryptonians,

I want to know what you guys are doing about ripple. I understand it's a product of government funding and half of it is owned by banks blah blah blah.

I'm interested in knowing if you truly believe it wont rise in value or are you guys so opposed, you're willing to lose out on profit in the coming years because it defies why bitcoin and blockchain technology was developed in the first place?

I am a believer in decentralization but I also know Government will always be there. I have bought some just for that reason. Let me know what yall think!
