Every coin has a story.

Circa 2015 XRP was #2.

Low volumes allowed their trading team to manipulate the price up while systematically dumping their XXX% pre-mine onto retail who believed it was the next payment network.

To reinforce this grift, Ripple signed 100s of hot air partnership deals with bankers, because banks felt pressure to innovate with "blockchain". Ripple would pay XRP as part of the deal.
