No question, Ripple is a danger to Bitcoin itself.
That being said, I'll go out on a limb and project that XRP adoption can only help the crypto space as newcomers learn to use and become comfortable with digital currencies, whatever they may be.
I do not own any Ripple, but I'd be stupid to say I wish I hadn't bought some when it was less than a penny back in 2016.
Only the future will tell what happens with this loose cannon token.

Logic and Reason. So refreshing to see comments that aren't just piling on with Ripple/XRP hate. There are a ton of factors involved in the emergence of cheap alt coins and most of them aren't nefarious.
