I don't really know why you decided to focus your articles on ripple, what do you really see in this coin, or are you a fan and hoping that there is going to be a moon in the price of the coin, well I am sure enough that there is going to be a moon because of their commitment towards there project even though a lot of persons in the Crypto community don't like their project since it's very much centralized and not decentralized.

...  since it's very much centralized and not decentralized.

No it's not (and you provided no source for your information, because there is no reputable source that would say this) It's more decentralized than Bitcoin or Ethereum, and getting more decentralized as time progresses.

A small handful of large miners control most of the transaction validation for BTC and ETH, making Bitcoin and others like it dependent on these organizations.

By contrast, the company that operates the most validators on the XRP Ledger, Ripple, controls only 4% of network validators, and is no longer in control of the majority of nodes on the recommended, default UNL (unique node list)

Here is how that looks compared the mining centralization of Bitcoin and Ethereum

I totally agree, for a long time I thought that ripple is just a centralised coin and after a short research of the network capability I found that BTC mining is in hands of two big mining pools at the same time as ripple has about 10 or more big validators.

I am suspecting that ripple is seriously doing some underground work by putting so much dollars in people’s pocket to create the hype for them because I am so surprised at the rate at which I have been seeing lots of hype on ripple lately, and I have gone to check if they have any new technology added or any new feature but found none.

Anyway its good for those who likes a centralized system, the market is bug for everyone, so their community should continue promoting them, everyone with what satisfies them, as for me and my family, we are so satisfied with our bitcoin and would not pay a dome attention to coins like ripple.

The bigger the lie the more believable?   

A small, incomplete lest of major companies building on XRP:
Ripple
Coil
Omni
XRPL Labs
Forte
Raised In Space
UBRI

Combined with this: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5147196.0 they definitely preparing something.
We can expect some kind of pump, after which, probably, the same will happen as with many altcoins. Technically, ripple are of interest for medium-term trading.
