XRP

MiserableOutside9335

A lot of crypto is a scam. Some of the tech has a ton of application, for example, Bitcoin could theoretically supplant fiat currencies/gold/properties as the store of value asset to own. ETH/SOL/Tron/XRP could theoretically supplant SWIFT and Interbank operations with the growth of stablecoins. But I think a lot of application is yet to be developed. Adoption has been slow because for every real use-case, there are 10,000 projects looking to just make a quick buck. Over time if the tech is useful it will likely persist and win. The best way to predict the future is to build it. Ask yourself if you use crypto for any application today other than just making more money? If the answer is no, then we have much adoption to achieve!

Exactly. Which is why you should just never invest long-term (or even short-term IMO) in SOL, ALGO, XRP, and many others. They trade off decentralization/security for cheap & fast, in the classic trilemma. Hell, SOL is so centralized, the network has had multiple *outages* in the past. How this shitcoin hasn't been abnandoned long ago for that reason alone, is beyond me. But... we have TSLA at $400, proving that the market is moved by nothing more than grifters and shit-flinging monkeys. Anyway, L2 chains on Ethereum are also centralized, but at least the big ones have "decentralize" on their roadmaps. Except Base, it will never be decentralized. Most Stablecoins are also centralized and regularly freeze wallets. (Dai being one exception.)

I don’t need or want a 20x on my bags. Been here since $500 bitcoin, and $25 etherum. Dig through my post history and You will see me saying these same things about bitcoin and ethereum back in 2016 and 2017. I got a lot of hate and push back about both assets then too, a lot of people saying ethereum was shit because of fees and XRP was king. But ethereum was the only one with smart contracts then, and the world didn’t understand why that was a big deal. But I simply followed the technology, always chasing the project with first mover advantage. And that’s what JAM is for Polkadot. What smart contracts were for ethereum, and what decentralized ledger was for bitcoin. Bitcoin, etherum, now polkadot. Hopefully I’m right a third time. If not I’m big chillin.

wait but didn’t you hear the tik toks saying XRP is going to $1000 and going to be with the entire solar systems FDV?

peopleplanetprofit

Lucky me, you didn’t mention ENA or SUI or XRP.

Apprehensive-Ad1808

Adoption doesn't guarantee token demand: A key risk is that banks could use Ripple's payment network (RippleNet) without needing to use the XRP token itself. If financial institutions choose to settle payments in stablecoins or fiat rather than XRP, demand for the token may not grow as much as investors hope.

flutter180

You can buy $10 worth of bitcoin if you want, you don’t have to buy a full coin. Market cap is what you want to look at in terms of how popular a coin is. For example, XRP is only $3 but it has a market cap of 185B, making it the third most popular coin. Solana is $250 but it has a market cap of 136B, making it the sixth most popular coin. XRP has 10x more coins in circulation than solana, which is why each coin looks “cheaper” So it’s actually a trick on your mind thinking that a coin with a low price is cheaper. It’s all about how many coins there are in circulation. Coins with a lower market cap are riskier, high upside potential but lots of risk.

ebvis

Chances are pretty high I’ll never be a millionaire but yeah I have some XRP also. As far as doge, has there ever been any significant value to a meme coin? I know people have made a lot of money off of it, but it seems over to me

w204_Generic

Yes I found it. Figured it was the one with the larger market cap. What is your opinion on XRP?

Backieotamy

Depends on the alt-coin... SOL, XRP, KAS, HBAR etc.. all have very real, very much in use by institutional investors in either production or a ton in various level of beta testing and integration. There is no, alt-coins all generate \*blank\*; they perform specific functions specific to the chain, game, industry etc.. As the crypto's are used\\burned for the specific purpose the supply diminishes and as long as people continue to want to use \*\*blank\*\* service the price increases due to less availability so what the alt's do is generate money and/or let you buy your new sword in a game, pay transfer fee's, provide virtual currency in new gaming platforms etc.. etc.. etc..

anjie_eth

The only strategy is to buy and HODL, buy for the long term and don't mind short term price action. In the long-run, you'll be the one who wins. Right now, Ripple's XRP, AVAX and Vaulta's A seem like good long term buys

Appropriate-Talk-735

I was hoping XRP would make it some years ago.

JustStopppingBye

>XRP is just another blockchain but Ripple is light years ahead of their competitors.  This is just completely false and you have no data to back up this claim. >what percentage international transaction they may handle in the future which is Once again, theyre selling a product on XRPL. They are not internal infrastructure for Franklin or DBS. Half of this story has nothing to do with XRPL.

remembermeordont

Yeah I can read. I forgot everyone here treats their crypto like a football team. I didn’t say this is some kind of game changer. I said it’s ANOTHER company working with Ripple. And unless you have a crystal ball you have no idea what percentage international transaction they may handle in the future which is not zero today. XRP is just another blockchain but Ripple is light years ahead of their competitors. 

Longjumping-Alarm-50

I’m fairly new to crypto too ☺️ and just starting small to see how things work. Right now I hold BTC, ETH, SOL, and XRP, and I’ve been hearing good things about LINK as well. For the short term (1–2 months), I’m curious which coins people think have solid upside potential. For the long term, I’m more interested in very low-risk options, since I mainly want to check how this space works without going all-in. Not planning to become a big trader, but I’m genuinely interested in learning and following the market. If anyone has ideas or coins they’re watching, I’d really appreciate the insights🫶🏽

Fun-Tough-174

BTC, ETH, SOL, (Maybe XRP). Keep and stack them then sell rest

cyger

Well I won't buy this as ADA especially seems to have almost no users. I never cared for XRP either, but they are good marketers.

Salvisurfer

Deserves it more than XRP.

PomegranateEither491

PENGU. Sell everything by January. SUI & APT will become the new EOS. Tech means nothing. Look at DOT. Then, look at XRP or ADA.

So its a group ETF? BTC and ETH will lift it and XRP, SOL, and ADA will drag it down.

AK_Dan

ADA, XRP and SOL… no LINK??? Those three are shitcoins compared to Chainlink.

ZealousidealMonk1728

Why would I buy this crap? XRP and ADA are vaporware which might as well be worth 0 USD anytime soon. XRP because the token is useless and ADA because Cardano is dead.

XRP is litterally down 88% against bitcoin since it's high _over 8 years ago_.

Grunblau

You are wrong. It changed with the introduction of the reserve. To bring it back for OP. There is no real reason to hold a bunch of XRP. You are right, Ripple does business with banks… there is no current mechanism to bring value on chain. Unlink LINK.

Renowned_Molecule

How dare you demote Aragorn to BTC. Laughably and embarrassingly foolish in a world that is about to become a “level playing field”. Last I checked, HBAR, XLM, XRP are smoking BTC on the 12 month chart.

Liftweightfren

Plenty of people seem to listen to the ones who say XRP will reach $1000 🥴

No-Artichoke3210

But you got rid of XRP and XLM. You have no idea what you’re doing and need to do a lot of research.

AceHighFlush

I disagree. BTC is already beyond its previous ATH, and it didn't happen. Even POTUS is talking about it. No FOMO. This is institutional. Its ETH, ADA, XRP, LINK hitting ATH that's the trigger. The OG runners from the last cycle people may remember and rush back to. Still, that is 3x away for some coins. That's why it feels so far away.

NewcastlePLchamps

So your rationale for why a scam in your eyes (XRP) is 3rd in market cap, is unit bias….

CapitalIncome845

If you want to go with the top coins, go 78% BTC, 18% ETH, 4% SOL. That's based on current market cap. XRP has had its run. It seems like more of a buy near $2.

Backieotamy

Well, I mean we kind of had a mini-alt already. DOGE, SOL, XRP, ETH, KAS and others are up substantially from just a couple of months ago. To your point,, it could be fizzling out now or (to my hopes) between these cuts, the gigantic list of ETF's coming in October that I looked at last night, and BTC price decline, it could go parabolic. I dont pretend to know, but... I will invest according to historical patterns and those three are big items that tend to kick-off buying.

AutisticGayBear69

BTC ETH SOL in that order. $500, $250, $250 *Maybe* or XRP instead of SOL.

counterboy12

Only XRP Holders would know, they get buttfkt every day

ecnecn

I believe XRP lost much reputation when their influencers pushed the "ISO 20022" implementation to the point that the official ISO Organization literally stated in their official ISO FAQ that this is utterly non-sense and ISO 20022 makes no sense for crypto at all.

hawtdiggitydawgg

If an alien EMP occurred you’d have much greater problems than your chosen store of value. And yes, there is a huge advantage to being THE household/brand name and their is huge power inthe network effect. You’re not asking the same questions regarding another cryptos such as “does anything special exist about DOGE coin.” Similar to other comments Facebook and Google are just replicate-able code, but when was the last time you used Bing? And what’s Bings market share? And why does everyone have a Twitter, Facebook, Instagram…? Because of the network effect. There are tons of other photo sharing sites but why is Instagram number one… cause everyone is already there. Similar with Bitcoin, what coin will businesses/accept and transact with in the future… the one with the largest network of people already apart of it. It’s a $2.3trillion dollar asset, ethereum is 1/4th of that, the next, XRP, is just 7% and all the other coins have notoriously been tied to bitcoins price movement. In your analysis, it Might be worth reviewing and understanding the 6 properties of money which include Divisibility, Portability, Uniformity, Limited Supply, Acceptability, durability. And I’d add store of value. To simplify this for me see Geminis response to how bitcoin fits into these properties with my comments in parentheses Portability: Excellent fit. Bitcoin is a digital asset, making it globally portable and easy to transfer across borders with an internet connection. (It sounds like the internet piece is a concern for you and There is tech out now that allows users to transact even without internet such as via SMS or purely overly Bluetooth. It’s also significantly easier to transport than gold/other currencies across boarders) Durability: Excellent fit. As a digital asset, it doesn't physically degrade and can exist indefinitely as long as there is digital storage. Divisibility: Excellent fit. Bitcoin can be divided into tiny units (satoshis), far more granular than most fiat currencies. Uniformity: Moderate fit. While all Bitcoin units are identical in value, its non-physical nature can make it seem less uniform than a tangible coin to some users. (People get caught up on the non-physical piece but most Americans these days are transacting everything through direct deposit and credit cards. I hardly ever interact with physical cash anymore) Limited Supply: Excellent fit. The supply of Bitcoin is strictly capped at 21 million coins, providing a built-in scarcity. (THIS IS KEY! Stock to flow is (maybe) the lowest compared to any other asset. And will only continue to drop) Acceptability & Stability: Poor fit. Bitcoin's volatile price makes it a poor store of value and a less reliable medium of exchange for many. Its acceptability is also limited by factors like lack of widespread business acceptance and regulatory concerns (try going to any business and plopping gold down on the counter as payment. With the adoption and simplicity of Bitcoin in transacting similar to swiping a credit card, acceptability will only improve. As for stability, yes it is volatile, but as a store of value over 4+ years it’s nothing but one of the best performing assets. If you’re considering the implications of an alien EMP it sounds like you’re interested in a long term store of value. Bitcoin over most any time horizon greater than 3 years outperforms most assets by a wide margin so yes it’s volatile in the short run, but zoom out on the time horizon.) Bitcoin’s total value is the 8th largest in the world, ahead of Facebook, Tesla, BRK, and literally 99.9% of all companies! Like knowing that alone I just feel like it’s worth spending more education around than quickly dismissing it behind “what about an alien apocalypse.” I agree it’s smart to consider other investment alternatives but it’s the BEST performing asset , might be worth putting some money into it. Okay. I’ll get off the soap box. If you made it this far, wow, and thanks! There might be some inflated estimations like “THE best performing asset” but most of the information, I believe, is relatively accurate and if it’s not the best it’s darn near the top depending on your time horizon. Hope this was, idk, maybe informative and encouraging to just spend more time with it.

NewcastlePLchamps

I don’t think you understood his point. If your claim is true about the founders “stripping value out of the holders pockets”, why do people/institutions continue to buy/hold when more supply is brought into circulation? That is necessary for XRP’s market cap to have remained in the top 3. If you believe it’s because of this grand lie that Ripple is continuing to be able to sell, you just haven’t been paying attention. No other company in the space has undergone the level of regulatory scrutiny that Ripple has. No other company in the space has been fighting for regulatory clarity more than Ripple has. Finally, assets don’t become worth hundreds of billions of dollars if they’re scams, it just doesn’t happen. As an example, Bernie Madoff’s Ponzi scheme was able to defraud investors of around $20bn over its history (~$30bn today w inflation). Retail accounts for maybe 1-2% of XRP’s market cap. People/institutions with enough capital to move the needle on a $100+bn asset do their due diligence and simply are not falling for a scam. Especially when said scam is so blatant that 90% of the crypto community is on to it.

Red_Pill_Blues1

So HBAR ADA PENGU DOGE XRP...others I can't remember

NewcastlePLchamps

XRP isn’t a company lol

OneManGangTootToot

There are a lot of Algo, XRP, Link and HBAR bag holders in here based on frequent comments.

zooka19

I'm overweight on my BTC, BNB, SOL holdings, under on ETH and XRP. Might trim profits on those 3 and add to the 2 underweight instead of dcaing new money (would bring me over my investing budget since I've mainly been doing stocks). I know this sub hates XRP but oh well.

Sharkorica

Coins values are not measured by the amount each coin is worth because each coin has a different number of tokens available. You need to look at the market cap to see the true value of the coin. That's why XRP has a value of $3 ish per coin and SOL has $240 per coin but their market cap is similar. Also most likely the "cheaper coins" are cheap for a reason. You're better off sticking to the top 10 mainly and then maybe 10% of your portfolio gambling on lower caps.

Ok_Reputation9512

Xrp could go to zero. The success of XRP as a company requires and induces no guaranteed usage of the coin. They gettin' rich on your hopes and support!

Narrow_Chance7639

I get that. It's easy to get carried away when you're deep into a project. The whole "whales and institutions will push the price" thing sounds good, but it's not always that simple. If you look at the Bitcoin and Ethereum ETFs, they didn't just get approved and then immediately explode. There was a lot of "sell the news" action, and it took time for the real institutional money to move in and have an impact. Plus, a lot of the XRP ETF approval and price increase narrative has been priced in for a while now, and a lot of the initial approval has already happened. The real test is if the actual inflows are as big as everyone is hoping. What if they're not?

Encore_Lynn

XRP

PapaCryptopulus

New administration is regulating properly without handcuffing and prosecuting projects. XRP has massive utility and is starting to be plugged in. The BTC and ETH ETFs were very successful since launching and the XRP futures have outperformed all expectations. Many analysts forecast 5-10 billion inflows into xrp etfs in the first couple months. That's a lot value so price go up!

spacehodler

If I had to start over again I would just pick an amount I could afford to save each week and put it straight into bitcoin. Treat it like a long term savings account. Then if you can afford more strategically pick a few other assets. I like to keep around 80% Bitcoin and a select few emerging community projects that I like. I can tell you what they are if you like or look up other posts I’ve made. Don’t like direct shilling. I’m ethically opposed to XRP (pretty much the antithesis of crypto) so can’t recommend that to anyone even if I hate them.

BanButtcoinMod

It being the first sure helps, but not knowing who the owner(s) is/are/was/were, is the main reason it'll always be #1. Just look at the next two top coins, and who's at the helm there. A super duper ultra autist that barely functions as a human being for ETH, and a guy that gives off scammer vibes and constantly uses his own community as exit liquidity for XRP. If we would've known who Satoshi is or was, it sure as hell wouldn't have been the same. Furthermore, there are many more reasons why Bitcoin is worth what it's worth today, outside of the two main things I just mentioned. You're saying that you don't really want to compare it with gold (and call it "digital diamonds"). I think it's even better than gold. We are not the same.

futadic

Depends on your risk tolerance, if your only looking for modest gains follow the sheep, but why not take 10% and put into a moon bag of utility assets. Kasper, XPR proton, metal, stronghold, zebec all still cheap with potential. Or follow the money, XRP, XLM, HBAR, XDC, QNT, CHAINLINK, ETA tokenized assets are coming quickly and eventually everything will be tokenized and xrp will be the liquidity for banks and institutions. The old playbook for crypto investing is changing now the markets are becoming utility driven as finally regulation has allowed banks and other big players to invest. Xrp won its law suit against the SEC so it's a green light for banks and institutions to buy xrp, once they have shaken out weak hands it's rumoured xrp will very quickly rise with massive institution and bank investment, they have agreements with 50 banks already. Of course it's risky... you may make way more money than you know what to do with. Far safer just to jamb with the sheep, then they'll keep you company when it's time to be Shawn

jeyzzl

Hey! cool to see you’re starting so early, and with such a solid base. I also started when I was around 19 and had to go through multiple losses to get the hang of this Tbh your port is solid. I am personally not a fan of XRP, mainly because of the Ripple board and CEO. I don’t like em. But I mean, people have made money with it, and the community it’s loyal AF for better or for worse. So just do good research on it. The rest of your portfolio is solid. Can’t go wrong with a solid portion in BTC, and imo ETH is the next best option. I would personally look divide the XRP port to 5% SOL and 5% SPX6900. SOL exposes you to the entire Solana ecosystem pretty much. And since it’s the fastest growing blockchain network after ETH, I think is another really safe bet. SPX6900 is a movement coin mocking the S&P500, and making a similar index seeding other crypto projects. It’s natively an ERC-20 token, but it has become chain agnostic through bridges with Solana and Base. TLDR. It’s an index exposing you to the rest of the crypto ecosystem. Do your research always. You have a solid base, so as long as you don’t deviate too much from it you should be good. Don’t look at charts too much. Hodl strong. And be patient.

Goldenbeardyman

Good good. I've got a small amount of XRP myself. But it's one of the shittiest shit coins. Proper corporate crypto that one. Like HBAR as far as I understand. Just run by corps. Don't buy too much as they tend to be set up in a really scammy way. Research their tokenomics.

Gallus_11B

Ya that's the time to buy, when they're low value and not doing anything. That's the entire point of alts. Because eventually they will blast off. You should have been buying XRP last year when it was 40 cents. You should have bought etherium and other alts when it was cratered down into the $1000s back in april to position yourself for this year's Q4.

PapaCryptopulus

Becoming more and more centralized literally going in the opposite direction. Besides being slow expensive and terrible to transact value now it's gonna be held by a small number of entities. XRP is the future!

PapaCryptopulus

No one cares about those 3 projects that everyone keeps pushing. XRP is about to swallow the market once regulation and the 18+ ETFs are approved

Specialist_Olive_863

I don't hold XRP but I'm here to say I can appreciate when someone takes the time to do a reply like this. Wish people did this more often for their pitch.

Thick_Western_7031

XRP si estas dispuesto a esperar minimo 6 años holdeando.

Reasonable-Button-62

When do you suggest this happENS? I’m still new to crypto but have a good understanding what do mean by 48-50% in simple terms. I have a bit invested into BTC,XRP, PENGU, Ethereum and I will be investing into SOLANA, HBAR,AVAX and chain link maybe even PEPE. What do you think? How long should I hold or when should I sell?

Reasonable-Button-62

XRP will go up just have to hold for a year plus I think. If it hits €3 or even €4. That’s serious profits

Overall_Put5742

I can suggest a few more you could take a look at. XRP, HBAR, STELLAR LUMENS, CORDANO, SOLANA, CHAINLINK and then you have the 2 big ones ETH and BITCOIN... take a look at the BITCOIN lifetime chart.. it's really impressive especially this last bull run, it's doubled in price. Prediction of a million dollars in the next 10 years... looks possible according to that chart. If my pockets were that deep I'd be all in on Bitcoin... but on my tiny income I have to go small real small. My Fav is XRP right now. There's a lot of activity and plans being made for that little coin. You might want to throw a few dollars at that. Black Rock is going to be involved with that token some how. Not sure yet, maybe an ETF. There's at least a dozen ETFs planned for XRP so far. Many have already filed their paper work with the SEC. That list is available on line.

XRP, Coreum, HBAR

XRP will not make x5 in the next years, SOL will easily!

Bald_Plonker

Presuming you want an answer beyond the typical Bitcoin hive mind, DOVU for the short term, Hbar or XRP for long term.

ResistThis5653

We just had a big spike so you should wait for things to fall like 20%. I like Doge, Pepe, and Shiba the most. I also think Pudgy Penguin has a lot of potential. If you’re looking for something to hold for a long time, I’d have to say XRP. Bitcoin is always a good choice too.

Outside_Care679

My friend told me yesterday to invest in XRP. But he also believes in Lizard people, so I am confused.

callebbb

I’d love to see the altcoins you own and their current distribution. Half the shitcoins we shill in this sub are owned by the company that premined it. XRP is a great one. ETH is one that was premined and held by the founders, enriching themselves after we shilled it to the moon. I find it hard to believe you stand by your 5% words when it comes to alts.

Outside_Care679

I had a friend introduce me to Crypto yesterday, and he’s all about XRP. I also learned he believes in Lizard people, too, though. Someone in the comments said XRP followers are in some kind of cult. This seems to be my only experience so far.

Significant-Check669

I currently have been building up my holdings of BTC, XRP, and SOL.

The only alt that has gone home (regression band) this year is Etherium. Honestly not confident many alts will hit ATHs. Personally, I would only invest in BCH, ETH, SOL, and XRP.

Lmao. Where are those people that regularly likes to shit on coins like XRP because the supply is controlled by ripple? Defend this. Maxi’s

DankShibe

Hbar isn't top 10. I am talking about stuff like ETH, BNB, XRP, SOL, DOGE. LTC

Alex040309

Yeah that also depends on their current market cap. Projects like HBAR sitting at .235 can probably do more than 5x if the ETF gets approved where as XRP has gone up more than 8x after the lawsuit ended and it’s currently at 2.99 but all this is speculation; in crypto is hard to say what’ll happen

Tozo1997

Wouldn’t invest on anything right now wait till bitcoin goes down and buy ETH. Leave it for a few years until a bull market and get some good money but right now don’t waste the money everything is too high up right now to invest even XRP ..

parakite

Question: The [Ripple.com](http://Ripple.com) , the company that owns 40% of XRP even today, their website is built upon, guess which earth-shattering new tech? Wordpress.

ross_iya

You can buy 40 XRP or .5 SOL

Economy_Cut8609

XRP's total supply of ~100 billion tokens starkly contrasts its circulating supply of ~59.61 billion, with ~40 billion held in escrow by Ripple or institutions, creating a low "free float" (possibly as little as 200 million XRP). This disparity amplifies price volatility compared to assets like Bitcoin, where circulating supply (~19.8 million) is closer to its 21 million cap. XRP's unique supply dynamics drive larger price swings from inflows—both supply (escrow releases) and demand (buying pressure). Ripple releases ~1 billion XRP monthly from escrow (0.3-1% of circulating supply), often re-locking most but selling a fraction. These releases can spark temporary dips or volatility, as seen in 2025 with $3.28 billion unlocks stalling rallies. Critics argue this centralized mechanism suppresses price by outpacing demand, with supply growth sometimes exceeding organic demand by 10-30%. Conversely, the tight circulating supply means demand inflows—like $45-56 million in an hour—can spike prices 8-10%, as seen in late 2024 when XRP jumped from $2.61 to $2.85. Potential catalysts (e.g., tokenized assets, RLUSD stablecoin, or ETF approvals) could further tighten effective supply, triggering rapid spikes. XRP's illiquidity also causes extreme liquidation imbalances, like a 36,000% gap in long vs. short positions. Overall, XRP's supply structure, with centralized escrow and low float, creates outsized price reactions to inflows, distinguishing it from more predictable assets. While releases pose downside risks, growing utility in payments could drive significant upside volatility.

northcasewhite

Every cycle has had its narratives. XRP was amazing in 2017. And who knows, it might do well this time. But the market cap for me personally is too high. I really think $20 is the very maximum it can get to if we have an insane bull run. In 2021 the narratives were ETH competitors, L2s, NFT chains, gaming/metaverse etc.

MiserableOutside9335

I'm going to be leaving my career corporate job to start my own firm and I'm planning on building the crypto side of it mostly on Cardano. I think the main draw for me is that: It works great and has not had outages and the fact that it's UTXO based so that it has an easier time tying smart contract functionality to BTC. ETH accomplishes this with WBTC but Cardano can do this natively. I also think the fact that they're not lobbying hard the "powers that be" like XRP and ETH in the long run will be good for the network. Survival because of intrinsic strength over favors is usually a winning strategy in the long run, evolutionarily speaking.

I think you missed the point u/-papa-ji- made. Bitcoin, by design, is limited to a 21 million coin supply cap. XRP does not have a similar scarcity, not even close. While I agree wirh you that this cannot be used to predict where the price of XRP will ir will not go, it's a legitimate point that XRP will never be able to achieve what Bitcoin has/will. I wish I would be wrong, because I like and have XRP. But you gotta be realistic. By the time this cycle's bull run is over, XRP cannot mathematically reach a 100x, that is like saying that XRP will magically have more value than gold does now. Currently, XRP market capitalization is ~200 billion USD. A 100x makes that 20 trillion, equal in market cap to gold. Sorry. Just not likely, not at all.

Sell XRP if it hits $10. Don't be like those folks who think it will 100X.

Bad take considering the performance of SOL, ETH, and XRP over the years

PapaCryptopulus

At this point in time XRP is the only investment in any asset class. There are too many short term catalysts to drive the price much higher

PapaCryptopulus

Dump both of those trash inferior tokens for XRP The Chosen One

So what's up with XRP, I open up any crypto website in my country and EVERYDAY they have these "breaking" xrp stories about some X dude saying XRP going to 2000 dollar each. I still have my XRP that I bought for 40 cent... Because I forgot bout it. But that's like 13 million only for me...

A bit too hypey. This is almost like the XRP to $589 by the end of 2025, or the XRP to $10,000 by 2030. I believe $1,000,000 USD is very likely.

HBAR, XLM, XRP, DOVU, LINK. DOVU most likely to melt faces it’s under a penny and ripping. HBAR prob best tech in the space imo. XRP/XLM… you either know by now or you don’t. Link is in good place with everything as well.

BTC is the obvious choice. l always thought the lack of sustainable ECO features unlike ETH POS uses 99 % the energy of BTC POW would cause some possible trouble in BTC price in the future, yet this seems to be ignored by most experts esp Michael Saylor . Like most things in Crypto it can change but BTC /ETH should be core holding, perhaps some SOL, Some XRP due to real world bank use but lots hype, a few months ago some actually questioned if XRP could one day replace BTC

RecordingOutside2452

Avax, Solana, Doge and Pepe, XRP is just a hype

JohanBlazer

LINK will be the chosen one , i know most are saying XRP but its LINK

Appropriate-Talk-735

I guess they will perform in this order: SOL HBAR ETH XRP

Reasonable-Button-62

Pudgy penguin, XRP, Solana, ICP, AVAX snd etherum

PapaCryptopulus

The past is beta test coin. It failed as it's too slow and expensive to transfer value. XRP is the future!

I would not do that. If you want to diversify to some alts just do it, but there is nothing special about the next two months. I would just do ether and XRP, but keep majority of stake in Bitcoin.
