On behalf of myself, I accept and appreciate the apology. 

However, @PeterLBrandt  says; "I would never disparage your success, only your attitude of defending 90% declines against an asset with more stability (BTC)." 

- With due respect Sir, I think I can argue on behalf of at least a few $XRP holders, that we never shared your perspective that an asset must hold relative stability. Our reason for buying XRP was because we understood the intrinsic value and role of its ecosystem for the future. We spent years reading about the deals Ripple was making. You were very disparaging towards those of us who resolutely defended XRP despite the high volatility, because we understood it's potential. 

I felt like giving my perspective on what I perceive as a central divergence in investment philosophy. The olive branch has been received and accepted. Welcome back, brother.
