XRP - Ripple won't triple

I'm so tired of wanting ripple but right before I go to purchase there's just more bad news. I subscribe to just about every crypto youtube and private membership there is. Trying to stay the most informed I can in crypto space. I have decided that I won't be holding any XRP long-term. I see no more future in the project and think gains will be minimal at best. I have warned against investment to all my friends and family.
Ripple won't go anywhere with banks copying XRP but not using the actual XRP itself. This scenario keeps happening in the real world and the Crypto space will soon realize this into the next year to come.
I'm no expert in the space but who really is? This whole space is manufactured / manipulated by emotions. It's like guessing when you're wife's going to be mad at you again. Some are hoping that they can ride the wave back to 39 cents from the sub 20 cent investment. That magical 1$ will IMHO never come to be. You many new projects that have Zero fees will most likely overtake the not so high tech XRP.
