also, on XRPchat.com Miguel Vias, Chief cryptographer David Scwartz, and others from the company come on to the chat board regularly and engage. They dont hide behind NDAs, and stuff. They dont come on to pump because they dont have too. Ripple sits on 55Bn XRPs. they annouced a lock up escrow of that money. They are using it like a weapon to incentivize partners who cannot dump either. They also have over $100Mn in VC money from people like Google. They dont have to pump. Also, they just released their Q2. They sold $21Mn in Q2 to various Banks, they also have revenue from their software ILP. if you really think about it $50k is a drop in the bucket of where they are heading.
