XRP is moving forward

It's true that XRP is by far one of the most despised assets in the world of Digital Assets. Why? Because it's viewed as a centralized asset that is making Ripple the company rich at the expense of the retail investors that are buying and holding the asset. Many call it a Shitcoin.

I believe XRP is not designed for retail investors, instead it's a Digital Asset that is a utility token for the banking industry to move large sums of money across borders inexpensively. While it might appears the news and chatter about this asset is dwindling, based on my daily curation I'd say the opposite.

Journalist across publications are infatuated with the asset and seem to report more on it than any other Altcoin on the market; U*Today reports more than most. Take a look:
