An efficient way of making transactions from any part of the world was the core vision set into place for the development of XRP and it truly has achieved that by a high margin as the speed of making transactions and the low cost associated with same is incomparable in the vast world of cryptocurrencies. The cost of making transactions using XRP can be seen to be low while compared to many major coins sitting in the Top-5 on market capitalization as there are many other crypto projects that offers a lower cost if transaction. Although the speed in making transactions on XRP is quite very fast, I can't even place a contender in place for that. Accordingly, XRP works more like a bank in my view as they allow easy remittances of the coin in the US though I wish this gets extended to other countries, it is applaudable to know that something has started in that regards elsewhere.
Being deemed a security by the Securities and Exchange Commission, XRP has been experiencing a significant drop in value, though it has recovered, but has lost its place in the Top-3 cryptocurrencies by market capitalization. I really like the view of he coin in respect to it's speed and low cost, with it's popularity, remittances locally (or easy sale of ones coin to local fiat) is made easy
