Yes, XRP's price went down.
Yes, management once again made things seem bigger than they appeared.
The stupidest thing Ripple did was invite Bernanke to the meeting. What the heck were they thinking? And they paid him to come?? He was directly connected to the 2008 crisis, even admitting the Fed didnt 'do enough' to stop risky lending (look it up if you dont believe me).
Great! He admits it, yet admitting it does nothing for the millions of people who lost EVERYTHING. It's very difficult for Bernanke to side in with those who lost their life savings when he's still a millionaire. I believe immediately following the crisis, he 'blamed regulation'.. but hello? He was the one able to REGULATE!
The horror of the 'Financial crisis' gets lost in the term 'Financial crisis'. It was not a 'Financial crisis'. It was the worst governmental delusional blunder in HISTORY. The only reason it doesnt seem that way is because the government made bailouts for the banks; they knew bailouts were going to be needed even before the 'financial crisis' occurred!
On one hand, I personally believe in XRP and the theory behind it. I wont sell my position, and will hold pretty much forever simply because i didnt invest more than i can afford to lose.
On the other hand, Investors need to stop whining. If you dont like what XRP is doing, SELL and be done with it!
STOP LOOKING FOR 'CLUES' AND 'HIDDEN HINTS' IN EVERYTHING!
When Ripple created that 'mysterious shape', investors were finding connections between it and the different shapes of countries. ITS A BOX! THATS IT!
My discovery..

One of the biggest mistakes investors make (I learned the hard way with this) is finding 'clues' in everything. Stocks dont put out hidden symbols in hopes their investors will discover its hidden meaning. When you invest. Just invest. Dont try to become Sherlock Holmes.
Invest knowing that you will lose everything, and be surprised when you make profits. Not investing knowing that you will make profit, and be surprised when you lose everything.
Ripple management can do whatever they want to do; its their company. But looking at it from an outside perspective, theyre making many mistakes along the way.
As for investors complaining, check out this comment from a 2010 Bitcoin forum:

No one, and i mean NO ONE thought bitcoin would ever be worth $5,000+ in 2010. XRP is currently ~.20 cents. i see XRP as being another BTC. Currently, the price sucks, but NO ONE today can fathom XRP being worth $100+
Who knows, in 10 years we'll look back on this post and laugh when XRP is worth multiples of dollars.
