Ripple is a block chain currency that works with banks as an intermediate to move large amounts of money bank to bank without the long transaction time. Ripple is announcing RIPPLE SWELL around October 16-18 which will cause a lot of hype driving up the price. I expect a surge upward for the conference then a quick sell of to take profits. Growth should be smooth from there on out unless there are issue with the coding or structure of the currency itself. Could see growth of 20% in the next week or so
