In the light of this topic, my friend adviced me like two weeks ago about Ripple that a colleague of his told him to invest in Ripples XRP now that they are facing litigation as their victory in this lawsuit will shoot up the price of the coin and even if it failed then he didn't loose much as he just invested just over $6 into it. He based his financial advice on this matter on Bitcoin's journey too, how they were sued and how the prices soared after they won their lawsuit.
These kinds of investors like my friend and his colleagues and soon to be me are the major reason why Ripples XRP is now appreciating in value. This is quite unprecedented for Ripples.
