Is Ripple for real?

I have read a lot about Ripple becoming a big time crypto currency. I was thinking of purchasing some. I would love any input or advice because I am trying to learn about cryptocurrencies and there are so many. On a second subject, I read something from James Altucher about something happening on Feb 2nd that will spur some crypto's to skyrocket. He hints that Amazon will have no choice but to accept Bitcoin. They are supposively working with crypto experts to decide if this is a good move for Amazon. James Altucher is a very successful and savvy investor that puts out a Altucher report monthly letter and has been involved in investing in cryptocurrencies. He understands crypto's because he can read the code that they are built on. I trust this guy and wanted to see if anyone believes what he says is legit. I would love any feedback about this story and if it is true then does anyone have some input on truly game changing cryptocurrencies.
Hope to hear from more computer savvy individuals than me.
Thanks,

Your fellow steemit partner!
