The "corrupt" financial institutions system XRP haters always talk about and blame Ripple for it has existed well before we were born and will stay well after we are gone.

A system so rooted and powerful and neither crypto nor anything else for that matter can take it away. So if you can't beat them join them and see how you can improve on them from the inside and that's what XRP is trying to solve, the multi trillion dollars industry through bridging cross border payments at a fraction of the cost and fees at lightening fast speeds making the whole process frictionless and very cost effective.

XRP while perhaps might not be your typical definition of a cryptocurrency coin but as a financial instrument stands I see lots of potential in it and it can be very profitable as a long term investment paying off its holders many dozens / hundreds folds their initial investments.

The banking and financial system employs literally a dozen of millions of employees globally and many world economies have strived based on this sector alone.

Just my two satoshis...
