Glad I found this article before it got lost in the shuffle. Thank you for posting!! Following you now :) I hope more will read this. Resteeming.

I just recently sold all of my ripple. But I don't think the OP from this picture has a very good understanding of how ripple works.

I think its overvalued right now.

Yeah, this is why **Congress** wants to get their hands of various cryptocurrencies using their wealth to buy it up. I guess their looking to spite the price to buy some of these coins to deter the little people **us** from buying them at a higher price, thus they compromise a way for us to acquire wealth **(that's if they try to do this of course),** so far it's just a rumor that they're looking at cryptos such as the number one coin **Bitcoin.**

The bigger problem however, are the strict **bill laws** there trying to implicate upon us when conducting **bitcoin transactions on the blockchain,** so they're trying to outlaw it as if it was a state that has strict **cannabis laws,** so now users might become targets who've acquired bitcoins. They're trying to apply this law through the following sanction ***--> removal of digital currencies from Bill S1241***

Bitcoin is increasingly being used. And the more crowded the day is used.

While I'm not sure there's this conspiracy between the banks to accumulate as much BTC and ETH as possible, I do agree that XRP is a shit coin with no value. I would urge any new comers in the crypto space not to put money into XRP because it's cheap and to do further research into projects with superior potential to impact the world.
