it has always been a "do or die" scenario for XRP since it is a useless pump and dump coin
When more people say one coin will be die or fall to zero soon, not only about Ripple, but also for all coins (bitcoin, and altcoins), it is time to see them moving up. Last day, we saw Ripple suddenly pumped, and once again, the theory seems to be right, with one more solid case from latest pump of Ripple. Personally, when I saw such news appear everywhere, I seriously of accumulate more coins (of course, I have to spend time to investigate what's going on with this project).
It reminds me that months ago, not too far from now, when bitcoin fell and stucked below $4000, people said that it can fall to zero. So, what actually happened with bitcoin, so far? I think the same strategy to spread news, and FUDs applied on Ripple. Consequently, whenever I see such news, not only on Ripple, but also on other good altcoins, I believe it is a signal of rally (very soon after news released)
