I voted even thought I'm invested in Ripple. There's a lot I don't know about Ripple even thought I read about it quite a lot.
I invested mostly looking at the chart and knowing that Ripple is very fast and the network doesn't cost much to be maintained compare to Bitcoin.
I totally don't understand what the relationship of XRP is with the Ripple network but that's because I haven't read enough about it.
I had quite an interesting conversation with Ripple's CTO @joelkatz here on Steemit.
Thanks for your upvote, I appreciate! Ripple is a very good investment for an investor or a trader like you and I respect that, but for me cryptocurrency carries the message of a future without banks. Maybe I'm a dreamer, we'll see...
