I don't have any ideas on the why, but damn, I need to figure out how to sell off some of mine.

I don't understand that either, there will be a giveaway soon, so one would assume prices would go down o,O

It's pretty crazy, Ripple emailed saying they will be giving away more at the end of this month, so I wouldn't go rushing in to buy any just yet.

Looks like speculators without any idea what ripple is all about jumped into it. Stupid.

It's kind of easy to play with the price of something when you own nearly all of it...

pretty much this

The corporate world has to have it's horse in the crypto currency race and it's Ripple.  A way to placate the tech noobish masses without losing as much control(and profits) over online transations.   I pity that there are so many out there supporting this crap over bitcoin and alt coins.

The people behind Ripple are using their meager reserves to buy small lots of it on the open market.
