  Potentialities:$SOL will be the $ETH of this cycle $RSR will be the $XRP of this cycle $KAI will be the $NEO of this cycle $DIA will be the $LINK of this cycle $OCEAN will be the $IOTA of this cycle Also put $ACDX, $CREDIT, & $OM on your radar. All should run hard.

• From CryptJerry:
  

  My friend and I are 25 years old now. He bought LINK at less than $.30 cents and I went the opposite way I bought XRP. We both invested the same amount in 2017. He’s retired now . I’m not going to lie I’m a bit jealous.

Ensuring That Our Digital Future Is a Sustainable One | Ripple

A fully digital future is one that would instinctively rely on digital payment assets like cryptocurrency….XRP is fundamentally a much more sustainable asset than the likes of Bitcoin or Ethereum, only consuming a scant 0.0079 KWh of electricity per transaction.  A major reason why XRP is so much more sustainable than other cryptocurrency is that all XRP tokens currently exist, meaning no additional energy is required to make more of this asset….Put simply, a digital future that works for all must also be a sustainable future.
