I wouldn’t touch Ripple with a 10’ pole. No one ‘investing’ in it is looking beyond the price.

As for the black market, btc may be losing its edge:

Bloomberg failed to mention that btc is also very expensive and slow. Making bitcoin transactions is eye-opening. I suggest anyone that owns (“owns” if it’s on an exchange) btc to try a genuine transaction.
