I still do not think that we are going to end up with a good price for Ripple at all, it is going to be quite tough and we are going to end up with a bad result. This should be very dangerous for people who keeps on investing into this and that can't be good for any investor. If you keep thinking that they are out and they can be finally free, you are not realizing what just happened. This is 125 million dollar fine, which they are going to pay from the money they made from you, nothing further than that. I think it is going to be not that easy to handle and we can't really consider that as a good thing, we can't make it work any other way.
So, we should probably consider that it is going to be tough to handle, and we can't really make it work if we keep trusting the people who take your money and gets sued. They may end up doing the same, do something illegal, and pay fines with your money and you shouldn't be doing that at all. We should consider that as reality.
There is no doubt that they will not grow faster than the market, that much is known. The main reason is that they are a 10+ year old project with absolutely nothing new that is good, and the risks are just keep growing. Their only point was "lets use blockchain tech as fintech and move money around very cheaply" and that's what they did, that's it, nothing more. Which we all know is just a way for them to make money, and they are using us, so that much is for sure.
I think it's clear that we are going to face some issues, and a lot of people do not know what they are going to do about this, they hope for the best but we all know that it will not happen that easily. So, we need to be careful about these people, they still look quite shady. If they keep on doing these risky stuff then they are going to end up with a lot more problems and with that in mind that means it will also be prevented once again like you said. So I stay away from it and won't ever invest.
