Hello steemians,
We are seeing some moves upward in the price of XRP in that past couple of hours despite the majority of the coins from the top ten being in red. This is so much deserved as the Ripple team is doing such an amazing job to implement the technology that will change the movement of the money the way we know it. It is just amazing how many haters of XRP there are but what they do not realize is that the banks are not going away anytime soon and using such a technology Ripple is implementing will make them stay competitive in the market. I have completely stopped reading twitter posts from the haters of XRP as those people just expect to get rich overnight or whatever. I do believe in the technology and I do not care if the price is stagnating or falling because I know that in the long-term Ripple and XRP, in particular, will succeed. Right now I am waiting for funds to arrive to my Bitstamp account to buy some steem and guess what? It takes me 5 days to transfer it from my bank in the Czech Republic to bank in London and costing me tens of dollars in transfer fees not even taking into account the conversion fees between the currencies. Ripple and XRP in particular have a real use case that will solve this and make your transfer cost efficient and almost instant. I cannot wait for the banks to start using it ASAP. I see a great future for Ripple but people just need to be patient and not to expect 2x returns every two months.
Have a great day.
Tomas
