The old oom sitting next to me has $50k in ripple, he believes one day he can cash out especially if they win the court case. I don't know who convinced him to do this but yeah that's a hard gamble. And he doesn't have a lot of pension that will pay out one day so I really want to convince him to move his assets but he seems very sure of his case.
I would rahter be safe than sorry if I was in his shoes. If they lose that case that currency will probably be worth close to zero. But anyhoo they probably have a good chance of winning so maybe he will cash out one day, risk big to win big.
