Ripple is interesting. If you're a true believer of the decentralized concept of crypto, you shouldn't like Ripple because it is controlled by a company (but is open source, similar to Java), and many financial institutions use it. So it's kind of towing the line between centralized and decentralized.
Not sure why you're downvoted. Thanks.
