The Ripple Effects!

I wrote a short reply on a discussion here in Steemit about what's going on with Ripple at the moment. It appears, some people are uneasy about the sudden upward trend of Ripples coin. Here was my input:

"Great input! However, it must be understood that the majority of the people in the crypto community do not care about some of these factors being peddled around and against Ripples. Rightly speaking, the crypto community is being invaded by traders who are pouring in liquid fiat currencies into the cryptomarket and are making a killing by moving the market to their favor. It is a game folks.

The fundamentals of Ripples may not be as stable and decentralized as bitcoin, but guess what "follow the money!" Right now the money is in Ripples. Previously in the last few weeks, it was in bitcoin, Etherium, Litecoin and Dash. Ride it now while it lasts and don't fight the banksters while they make a killing of profits in the same community-except you are here as a preacher for crypto-morality!"

I don't intend to defend shady deals by Ripples or those supporting market manipulations, but if you have been around the crypto-world for a while, you should be aware that it is an open world. Calling Ripples bankers coin that should not be allowed to survive is preposterous. We need to accept the fact that Ripples like many other pre-mined coins will keep poping-up and trending as time goes on. Don't expect the bankers to fold their hands and allow bitcoin to rule the cryptoworld. My kinded opinion is that it will take a huge global shake-up to defeat the bankers. While that is still futuristic, you need to jump into the Ripples wagon and travel with it. If you cannot beat them, join them instead of complaing. Ripples is here to stay. The question is: Am I profiting from it or casting aspersions on something I do not have control over?
