How is the Long-Term Looking for XRP?

The age-old argument that Ripple’s XRP crypto token isn’t fully decentralised has seen the parent firm face some serious scrutiny over the years. Over the past 12 months especially, XRP supporters have had their cryptocurrency criticised by other communities in the space due to the ‘lack of centralisation’ in the token. Such an association with Ripple is what has allegedly been the reason for the price of the XRP token slowing down in the charts. In fact, some say this is the reason it’s been in such a state since this time two years ago.

The CEO of Ripple, Brad Garlinghouse has made it clear on several occasions that the San-Francisco firm has distanced itself from its flagship token. Even though the impact on XRP from Ripple is substantial, Garlinghouse said the following:

“It [XRP] exists independently of Ripple the company. If Ripple the company shut down tomorrow, the XRP ecosystem would continue to exist. It’s an independent open source technology.”

But one crypto commentator has said that XRP investors don’t need to keep on getting hung on the short-term performance of the token because eventually, the long-term will see the token surge.

TO EVERYONE ALIVE ON THE EARTH:

Since people STILL question this, let me be clear again: I stopped making videos and tweeting about #XRP as much because I believe its success is INEVITABLE because of @Ripple! To me, there's no use in continuing to perseverate on it. Done deal.
