Ripple XRP is a long term hold right now with the second largest market cap behind Bitcoin. Should reach 25 cents by 2016 from its current price of a penny. Long on Ripple short on Bitcoin. Also banks are starting to get on board including FIDOR bank in Germany and now U.S banks are starting to use the Ripple protocol. Once a major player comes on board such as CITI bank or Bank of America i am expecting a huge pump. coindesk.com/us-banks-announce-ripple-protocol-integration/
