Yeah, I think a lot of the ripple coins are still controlled by developers if I recall correctly. It is definitely very volatile lately which is a day traders dream I guess.
That is correct, Ripple is a centralized coin.
And as such why is interesting to people? I meant to say BTC is interesting because it is decentralized and in certain limits is anonymous. Some slaves are too accustomed to slavery and they are confused wich way to go, they don't wan't freedom, they are scared from it.
if you hold thousands of ripple now in your desktop wallet who the hell can track you when its always like bitcoin still, they can trace everything but they don't know your name. who cares. what you should be caring is profit. this is not about honor. no one cares about honor. greed only know winners.
and ripple a.k.a XRP is wining this game.
