Guys, I invested in Ripple 4 days before the first boom, at 0.006 EUR. I was there few days after when it went to 0.02, and then to 0.07 and back down to 0.04 in one day...after that or three weeks it just went slighty down and down, at one point it even reached 0.025 before the three week madness and unbelievable rise where XRP went from 0.03 to 0.39 (on Kraken)...so now, that it's at 0.27 EUR, it actually still is a 900% gain just in those 3 weeks, and just about a 33% correction of that one hype from the maximum it reached, which for a huge and quick rise like this is still fine if you ask me...it's been only 10 days, not that long ago we waited for three weeks for another pump and it was falling for those 3 weeks...ya'll need same patience...this coin will go up again eventually...(probably)
nevertheless, I don't put all my trust in it of course...I sold almost half of my XRPs when it was over 30 cents, and reinvested into other currencies with potential, which created a steady daily income, or it erases the losses when XRP is falling...I did not sell because i don't believe in XRP, but simply because it's a way safer approach, and it also doesn't piss me off when XRP drops 2 cents in a day because other alt coins made up for that loss...also at one point I hade over 80% of my money in XRP which is totally unaccaptable (main reason I sold around 43% of XRP I owned), having that much money in one investment...I still believe in XRP because it has big potential...I believe that Ripple really is doing everything they can for XRP to succeed...that's why it's still my biggest investment...
what I want to say is, don't panic guys, but maybe don't bet everything on Ripple, there are other coins with potential, divide the money, you will see it will make you way happier (not neceseraly richer, as if you hit the right coin you can become a millionaire, but I would rather be a hundrer thousandaire and keep my hair, because I see some people only with Ripple taring their hair out now...also, you make the chance of going broke way smaller)
...now I don't stress when I see Ripple falling, like my friend who still did not sell any of his XRPs, and now he's very paranoid...I am not, since other coins are getting pumped, and I have them...
we entered something revolutionary at an early stage, we will become rich/richer if we just do it right...
so just...do it right
