XRP

Potatotornado20

I mean you got alt season if you were in XRP or SOL meme coins. There are too many coins now to know which ones will pump or not. Only Bitcoin is guaranteed to go up due to the Power Law (which no other coin follows)

DrGrungy

I said XRP. Didn't I? Not disclosing how much I have because that's dumb. But it's valued at more than two BTC atm... 😅 That's only my crypto currencies x.x

DrGrungy

For BTC, yes! XRP still early. The big institution's are on the side lines. Between sometime in October to 2030 will be the major run up...

DrGrungy

XRP is the one!

DrGrungy

Your name literally says bot in it. You bot! 😂 XRP, BTC is the distraction and the tokenomics and who's behind it make no sense. Get your shit together, you bot.

DrGrungy

XRP is the way to go. It is the only coin with TRUE legal clarity. Once the Clarity Act comes into play watch it out-perform all other coins!

melch_18

Depends on your goal, here's what I'd recommend after 6+ years working FT and investing in the crypto industry. \- safer and long term holds: go with the big names, BTC, ETH, SOL, SUI (not XRP, Cardano, they're dead) \- riskier, shorter hold, higher upside: find a project that's about to launch, get involved in their community and get in early. Or look for well funded projects in the 200 - 400 market cap listing on coingecko .com (expect it to go to zero) These are very early startups, very young, very risky. Not advice but Euclid Protocol is one of my favorite projects that we've worked with for years and will launch in 1 - 2 months.

Ladlow

Probably BTC, ETH, SOL, XRP (Larger market cap coins with institutional support). Do some research and go with the one you have the most conviction on.

MushrooGuy

CRO has always seemed like a modern day XRP/FTX. Another controlled pump and dump on the holders spread out over a long time

Subject-Wrongdoer812

Posting this as a factual timeline with screenshots, not as an accusation draw your own conclusions. 1. BingX ran a promo giving me a Position Voucher: 200 USDT position value, max 5x leverage, position auto-closes after 24h, no fees, restricted to designated pairs (BTC, ETH, XRP, DOGE, SOL, BNB, GBPAUD, DOWJONES, CADJPY). 2. I used the voucher as intended within the app's own rules opened a position on one of the listed pairs, no manual workaround or exploit, just used the feature the way it was presented. 3. Shortly after, my account got restricted. In-app notice cited "account anomaly" / unusual activity, with trading, bonus claims, new-user rewards, and event participation all blocked. [screenshot 1] 4. Got an email asking to reply with a video of myself holding my ID reading a specific script, to "lift the restriction." This came as a plain email reply request rather than through the in-app verification flow, so I did not respond to it directly. [screenshot 2] 5. Follow-up email confirmed: "earnings obtained through violations have been deducted (including: 16.59 USDT)," and some account functions remained restricted. [screenshot 3] 6. First withdrawal attempt (65.34 USDT) came back "Failed to pass review." [screenshot 4] 7. No open disputes remain I've since submitted an account deletion request.

Godsend8073

Buy XRP,ADA AND SHIBA INU....KEE BUYING AS MUCH XRP AS POSSIBLE

HereToday0522

99% of crypto is a scam, but the 1% have great use cases. Visa has partnered with SOL to run on their rails. Many International banks have partnered with XRP to implement CBDC’s. DYOR & you can find great investments.

DrGrungy

Regulation isn't here yet. Meaning no major financial institutions with all the fancy API yet! If you're paying attention Ripple is getting ready for just that. XRP all the way. It isn't BTC

DrGrungy

Who's buying BTC. That's foolish! Just buy XRP instead, it's going to outperforme BTC by a long shot.

East-Day-7888

My education is on Finance not journalism, because if this I had chatgpt re-write my thoughts. In my opinion, no. Don't get me wrong—cryptocurrencies are going to change the world. However, the idea of a cryptocurrency becoming the global reserve currency doesn't make much sense to me over the long term. Nearly every major crypto asset on the market is valued far beyond what its underlying network can currently justify. Take XRP as an example. Its architecture has a practical limit of around 1,500 transactions per second. At a transaction fee of roughly $0.001, that puts its theoretical maximum annual network revenue at approximately $65 million. Using common EBITDA valuation ranges, around 4× is considered normal, 8× is relatively high risk, and 12× is highly speculative. By comparison, XRP is currently valued at roughly 3,000× its theoretical maximum network revenue. That's the definition of a dangerous bubble if adoption and economics fail to justify those valuations. That isn't to say there aren't projects with significant long-term potential. HBAR, for example, uses a different architecture that can scale horizontally, giving it a theoretical path to effectively unlimited transaction throughput. That means there is no equivalent hard cap on potential network revenue. Projects like that may eventually grow into valuations that are fundamentally sustainable. As things stand today, though, I believe the vast majority of the crypto market—with perhaps only two or three exceptions—is trading at valuations that are not sustainable over the long term.

Less-Information-256

Right but you're presumably not dumb enough to think the next ten years will be 23,000%? Or are you? By the way it's 10,000%. You might be thinking of XRP? That has outperformed bitcoin at 17,000%

ARoundForEveryone

You ever make an omelet out of 3 XRP and a little cheese? Things have financial value. Things have physical utility. Some things have both. Eggs and XRP don't occupy the same space and it's silly to compare the two. Try as I might, I'm not having scrambled XRP for breakfast tomorrow morning. Compare eggs to other food. Compare XRP to other financial instruments. These things barely exist in the same universe, even if you can buy a dairy farm as an investment or spend XRP on some food. This is silly, inconsequential, and not worth the time spent making a GIF, let alone my time replying to it. Some things have value. Some things have utility. Some things have both. Some things have neither. Pick your lane, one purchase at a time.

No_Description_1046

Get some XRP if you don't have any.

TCr0wn

Yup bitcoin, maybe t/btc, maybe XRP, who knows. But this sub is clearly being brigaded.

Ashamed-Problem-2704

It’s pretty simple actually. It’s available supply vs total supply that will drive the price. Institutions will hold XRP on their balance sheets because they will have to. They will need XRP to be used as a neutral bridge asset between counterparties, therefore if billions of XRP are tied up on balance sheets in banks and institutions, then there won’t be much available for purchase which will shrink supply, drive up demand, and increase token price. If the banks and institutions don’t hold it (like they do with nostro vostro accounts), then the available supply will remain high keeping the price modest.

Own_Manager_2656

I know what you're going through bro. I lost 15K XRP from the 2023 Atomic Wallet Hack. Despite that, I picked myself up and got back into the race. You also have that option.

Zito101101

Sounds like we need XRP or HBAR to settle transactions in 1-3 seconds. Glad you aren’t using ThorSwap

StarIsland1228

Will XRP even recover soon or ever?

I had XRP, and lite coin back then and made good money and sold for a thousand, would be a millionaire

He's stacked $3 billion and is buying XRP now

hshkr

I remember the amount of sudden hype XRP had like 2 years ago and now I never see the fanboys talk about their love for it anymore lmao. I always knew it would’ve been a waste of money.

East-Day-7888

No one is saying crypto isn't the answer for these kinds of problems. What I'm saying is that the volatile tokens themselves BTC, XRP, SOL, etc. will never be the answer. Using them as settlement liquidity exposes everyone to unnecessary price risk and impermanent loss. There's no reason you couldn't swap USDc to EURc using stablecoins over a network like HBAR as the settlement rail instead. The entire "token as liquidity" narrative is completely dilusional and not how real businesses manage money. It's an idea that gets repeated in crypto echo chambers, then amplified by news outlets who use AI content trained on Reddit and other socials. a $10,000 XRP is a dilusional narrative created by people who do not understand how finance, treasury management, and commercial settlement actually work.

Longjumping-Low3164

XRP is useless piece of shit as DOT.

axelf911

What is XRP used for again?

Omnishambles22

XRP > that sol trash

MushrooGuy

Only the XRP cult members who can't admit they were fleeced. Ripple has went every which way, dumping hundreds of millions of tokens monthly dumping money into projects that bring no value to xrp. They don't want to admit the institutions do not want a volatile token as gas that is loaded to the gills with retail. Why would they choose that when they can make their own network? The blueprints are out there to make them or you have networks like ARC that circle is going to release any day that uses usdc as gas, or STABLE that tether/Bitfinex made that uses usdt as gas

JJFG333

Yea recently I lost $5600NZD worth of XRP including $3600 I was tricked into buying due to a push pull scam on my crypto.com account. My lesson from this is no more cryptocurrency and also no more credit card companies. Both screwed me in their own way on top of the scammer.

absinthiumxmr

\> At least if someone steals my XRP off coinbase, maybe Coinbase can help me. If anything, exchanges are now safer at this point! Okay, XRP shill bot #2429149. You even managed to sneak in a Coinbase ad, you really shouldn't have. Never miss a good tragedy I suppose.

ereeec23

Does anyone care about XRP anymore ? Are they even using Ai ? lol

gym_rat_101

I was sitting at Willie's in Kona, waiting on my plane. I'm a ER doc and own a very successful brand of urgent care facilities and still work full time in the hospital and I have a decent bit of money. I'm managing my company from my laptop while at the bar getting plastered before I head to the airport. This guy sits next to me, at least 15 years younger, and he arrogantly asks me how long until I can retire. I say hopefully within 6 years. He says he will retire much sooner. I ask how, and he says he is 100% all in with XRP. So I love seeing this because I laugh so hard. What a moron.

rjm101

>At least if someone steals my XRP off coinbase, maybe Coinbase can help me Nope, good luck with that.

XRP the boiled egg shitcoin

Spl00ky

The dudes who created XRP don't have any use for it either since it's not even required to use on RippleNet

TheDigitalPoint

There just hasn’t been any demand for customers wanting to pay with XRP (at least in my industry). It tends to be Bitcoin and Monero mostly. XRP seems okay on paper for certain things, but it’s centralized, but when a “crypto” needs a CEO and 1,000+ employees, is it really a crypto (in the traditional sense)? Maybe, but it’s one I would probably shy away from. 🤷🏻‍♂️

WIRED_REFLEX

While Ripple bros spent eight years getting financially edged by SEC lawsuits, high-end silicone dildos were quietly printing absolute face-melting gains. Boutique adult brands like Bad Dragon jacked up retail prices so hard due to supply shortages that a base model bought for eighty bucks back then costs a small fortune today. Worse yet, the secondary market for rare, discontinued custom-color monster dildos went parabolic, with collectors aggressively flipping mint-condition rubber for four times retail value on specialized forums. Even basic luxury bedroom hardware easily clapped XRP because global medical-grade silicone supply chains choked, sending retail values into the stratosphere while Ripple just sat there doing nothing. Ultimately, filling a storage locker with literal multi-colored rubber penises in twenty-eighteen was an objectively superior, higher-yielding macroeconomic investment than buying the future of global interbank settlements.

MeWannaSay

Cherry-picked timeframes will do that to you though - eggs had a supply shock spike that's already correcting back down, it's not a repeatable strategy so much as being lucky about the exact month you looked. XRP's 8-year chart is the real story here, and that's more about round-tripping through a multi-year bear market plus years of the SEC case hanging over it than eggs being some genius asset class. Funny meme, bad investing lesson.

thats_gotta_be_AI

I made plenty of money with XRP in 2017/18 Christmas/New Year, 2021, and November 2024. Also with XLM.

thats_gotta_be_AI

I mean, no shit. But that’s cherry picking about 10 minutes of price action (as xrp briefly spiked there) to make a “point” - and to make the point you have to hide that. I hold no XRP but these memes are a bit silly.

Rad_Habits

Not trying to defend XRP, but I think OP was referring to buying near the ATH in 2018. ($3.84 USD on January 4th)

thats_gotta_be_AI

In August 2018, XRP was $0.34, so $10,000 of XRP bought in August 2018 would be worth roughly $30,000. https://www.digrin.com/stocks/detail/XRP-USD/price

TheDigitalPoint

Do you use XRP for something (besides watching its value and hoping someone else will pay you more than what you bought it for)? It’s actually a real question, I’m definitely not a BTC maxi, but I do tend to stick with cryptos that I personally do something with.

VendettaKarma

XRP was always a joke too much supply

TheDigitalPoint

Correct, I would (and do) buy eggs all the time. I don’t have a use for XRP, so I’ve never bought any.

TheDigitalPoint

In the last 8 years how many XRP have you used vs how many eggs you used?

jazz_king_seb

There’s a few coins that have outperformed btc in the last 5 years XRP (dog shit coin) ZEC (privacy) Monero

MushrooGuy

"I promise ALL the banks are going to use us. You just have to eat through another few hundred million tokens that unlock every month so we can keep making Ripple... Erm I mean XRP a powerhouse. Definitely not a modern day FTX"

HBRWHammer5

Because XRP is just a way for the founders to dump on retail

jummy006

I’ll buy your XRP off ya bro 👌🫡

misterbiggler

I can say he’s terrible but at same time stick with the way everything played out. I made 7 figures off of his election in XLM and XRP and another $200k off $trump alone. It was worth jt

thats_gotta_be_AI

8 years ago (July 2018), XRP was about 65 cents.

stefansilva_xrp

I understand what your saying but I do not think Warren would have the numbers to push anti crypto bills as for Gensler when he came in I had hope that Trump appointed nominee Clayton who sued Ripple that lawsuit would end with Gensler but it didnt but truth be told Ripple were not as clean as they were and Brad Garlinghouse was selling huge amounts of XRP whenever there was a major pump

Beyonderr

At least XRP does not decrease in supply. The number of eggs my wife has just keep decreasing over time.

MushrooGuy

And why would anyone want to use a network with a gas token that is volatile when Circle is making ARC that uses USDC as gas or STABLE by tether/Bitfinex that uses USDT as a gas. XRP is the modern day FTX. They buy through hundreds of millions of tokens monthly just to fund Ripple's newest business venture... Which won't use XRP either. It's cult like at this point

Aegonyx

First of all, with the recent BTC coldwallet incident, interoperability crypto coins will be very relevant. As people need to move their coins from - to different exchanges/wallets. A crypto project that I found very interesting is called Axelar, it has some weirdly insane partnerships, integrations (XRP, Stellar, Sol) etc.. it connects over 50 or 60 networks, and they're working on a "gasless fees feature". The project is weirdly undervalued when meme coins are doing 50% pumps. Please DOYR. That's what I found on my own. Good luck to you.

34motox34

Agreed. You have to be a computer scientist to manage and store your crypto safely and even then it just vanishes from your wallet one day. I had 5k XRP stolen from me on uphold due to their 2FA failing. ( i was new to crypto and didnt have a cold wallet). Luckily they reimbursed me after threatening to join an ongoing class action against them. But it always seems to be something and no normal person will deal with all this

abhicoinexpansion

Nice mix. Is XRP mainly for its cross-border payments use case, or do you see other long-term potential as well?

Survivaleast

ETH, BTC. Viable projects have come and gone. Started and pivoted, rose and fell. Many years ago I may have thrown a bunch of project names that mean very little now. “Yah bro check out Link, XTZ, XRP, Algo and Cardano.” The truth and fact of the matter, is that there is ETH and there is BTC. Then there is the game of musical chairs of projects struggling to be relevant among 24,990 other pointless coins. The sooner people come to terms with that reality, the better the market will become.

Kylynator124

Mainly BTC and ETH with some XRP as well. Nothing else imo

engineering-AF7

Full disclosure: I built AlphaFlowSeven (alphaflowseven.com), a paper-trading platform where a 6-agent AI council debates signals, so this is from running that setup 24/7. For CEX pricing, volume and history we never needed a paid data plan. Binance's public REST + WebSocket API is the primary source, Kraken is an automatic fallback (Binance returns HTTP 451 in some regions), and Hyperliquid covers perp-only tokens. We store every candle in Postgres with a source tag and compute RSI/ADX/DMI/ATR from our own bars instead of calling indicator endpoints. Three things mattered more than which API we picked: explicit gap detection with backfill , client-side rate budgeting with a token bucket so the agent can't burst past a provider limit, and tagging every stored row with its source so two feeds of different quality never mix silently. For "gaining interest": we pull Reddit RSS, StockTwits and X, filter per asset for relevance (bare "ripple" matches water, not XRP), then LLM-score the remainder. The feeds are free; the filtering is the work. Onchain and contract verification I can't speak to — we're CEX-only.

wpjunky

XRP 2013 or 2014. I don't have the exact dates because neither SnapSwap US (purchase) nor [rippletrade.com](http://rippletrade.com) (stored) are no longer available. But buying back then was wild. I remember after creating a SnapSwap account, I'd bring cash down to my local B of A, fill out the deposit slip with the SnapSwap bank account details, and write MY SnapSwap account number on the deposit slip, and it would eventually be credited so I could then buy XRP. We've come a long way. 😆

East-Day-7888

Thats the fun thing about reddit. Its echo chambered and will promote false but popular narrtives over factual test and true. Thats the reason people love SOL and XRP for example. SOL states 50k messages per second. But in reality counts validation as a message. So with 21-250 messages per paid transaction. The actual max possible tps is closer to 250-2000 actual tps. Or xrp, who openly states their max tps is 1500, but when visa alone operates at 65,000 xrp cant handle a single provider let alone global remittance, and dont get me started on their liquidity narrative which is complete bull shit -two words impermanent loss. No ask anyone in any crypto form and those are "the cryptos" to watch, but lets face it flase but popular narritves get repeated and upvoted. Well the true story with actual testing gets publicly downvoted. Enjoy :)

ActiveDetective8650

Payment rails ? …..ummmmm. XRP AND RIPPLE

Flashy-Potatoe-Queen

Everything is on point, but that 10% XRP! 🤢🤮 I wouldn't recommend XRP for anyone ever. It's built like a scam and will rug everyone after a big marketing campaign anytime now, just invest 15% in KAS.

doyzer9

Start with something simple: put **$200** on **Kraken** and watch it for 12 months. A beginner‑friendly allocation might look like: * **50% BTC** * **20% ETH** * **15% SOL** * **10% XRP** * **5% KAS** All crypto lives on blockchains and requires **private keys** to move. On an exchange, the platform holds the keys. With **self‑custody**, you hold the keys yourself, usually stored as a **24‑word seed phrase**. Anyone who gets your seed phrase can take your crypto, so beginners are often safer starting on a top‑tier exchange like Kraken or Kraken Pro. Learn the basics early: * Blockchain fees * Exchange fees * Spreads * Stop loss orders * Self custody wallets * Seed phrases * Passphrases * Hardware wallets, Ledger and Trezor are well known hardware wallet brands. Avoid **hot, web and extension wallets**. Assume most people online want to scam you, hack you, or trick you into giving up your seed phrase. **NEVER** enter a seed phrase online or record electronically as text or image.... **NEVER**! Always use official websites, double check URLs, and be extremely careful with anything you download. Good internet security software is strongly recommended. Be ready for **50 percent or more price swings**. And be aware that simply HODLing right now has a higher chance of losing money, although nobody knows what the market will look like in a year. **DO NOT INVEST MORE THAT YOU CAN AFFORD TO LOSE!!!!**

ProfessionalAir104

If you want to start small. Buy 1000 XRP. 10000 HBAR. 10000 XLM. 10 QNT. 10000 XDC. All of these company’s have great backgrounds and are backed by a great team. Buy this amount and come back in ten years. You can thank me. Shouldn’t cost you more than $10K or less.

PuzzleheadedBell4057

DCA monthly on the 15th into BTC, ETH, SOL, XRP, HYPE, LINK, TAO, ZEC and RENDER $100 ea. Have a round-up on my checking account that I empty monthly to fund Doge - about $20-$30/month.

Fortune_Donut7432

I think there's money to be made with XRP. There will be money to be made with LINK too. But you'll have to know when to dump, otherwise you'll be grièvement. For your money.

Waclaw_Kurek

I wouldn't go all in on anything just because someone sounds confident about it. XRP has a genuinely interesting thesis around payments, tokenization, and XRPL growth, but it still comes down to whether any of that creates real demand for the token itself, also worth knowing, XRP can't be staked the traditional way., so when you see "earn on XRP," that's almost always lending

Routine-Can-1678

Macro regime change. Turns out, most altcoins are really just doing an interest rate carry trade. You borrow money from a bank at near 0% interest rate, shove it into Aave or Compound or Curve for about 5%, profit. The liquidity spillover is the part that fuels the really stupid stuff like NFTs, DOGE, etc. We went from 0-0.25% interest and $100b/month free money from the Fed to about 4% interest and $100b/month of Fed taking money away. Every Ethereum + copycat, L2, and things that rely on spillover liquidity died simultaneously for 2022-2025, because the money vanished. The only things that stayed alive were things like: Bitcoin Treasury companies: MSTR, Strive, Metaplanet Crypto stocks: COIN, HOOD Futures trading protocol: Injective, HyperLiquid Bitcoin-similar protocol: Kaspa DeFi with 20-150% interest rates: Sui Organic meme-casino: Solana, Raydium OG memes: DOGE, BONK, PEPE In the late cycle, when retail boomers see headlines about Bitcoin ATHs and get very greedy, but balk at the price, they get interested in XRP. XLM also gets a boost because it's the same narrative. After that, everything dies. The only profitable thing during a bear market is IBIT puts.

gyeol9

Solid list, especially the fixed-supply logic behind TRAC/HBAR/RENDER — that’s the right framework to filter with. If I had to add a 5th angle to consider: XRP is worth a look purely on the “real-world utility that’s already live” criterion rather than “utility that’s coming.” Institutional payment rails, and recently x402/agentic payment infra building directly on XRPL — it’s less speculative on the adoption timeline since a lot of the infrastructure use case is already operational vs projected. Not knocking your picks, just adding a different axis (proven usage now vs future potential) to the screening criteria.

Upbeat-Protection-67

Ada, XRP, and hype Cause I’m still holding bags on these

Reach_Beyond

I’d rather light my money on fire than buy any of the alts you listed. I’d buy and do own significant BTC, ETH. All others (maybe SOL or I’d have to research XRP) I’d just hold USDC.

Kontrav3rsi

Just remember to keep a bit on the exchanges for sales when it pumps. My technique is to have a forever (aka yield only) bag, and then a bag to see when it pumps. I like round numbers so I keep my exchange bag big enough that once it gets to what I bought in for, I cash that and move that money into another asset entirely. For instance, If I have 500 XRP, I will buy a bag of 50 more and keep it on the exchange. If XRP goes to 10 bucks, I would have paid for the majority of my investment. I’d take that and buy gold or something else so basically I’m back to playing with house money. I also only keep a smaller bag there because I want the exchanges to run low which picks up the price, it also won’t run all the next people coming in, making it more likely people will continue to buy in. Dumping you bag for any reason hurts the community so I hope you guys plan a decent exit structure. NFA.

unknowngloomth

Lmao, $200k? Says who? Do you have a crystal ball? I'm telling you, dude. BTC literally had a president openly promoting BTC. BTC had an enterprise like Strategy pouring billions into it. Weekly buying. BTC was one the most hyped crypto. Yet, BTC had small rois in comparison to a boring stock such as XOM and Nvidia. Plus alts such as XRP, SOL and TRON had bigger rois than BTC's. Also, TRON is only 28% from its ATHs whereas BTC is down about 51%, brutal!!!

unknowngloomth

Yeah. You BTC maxis are all nitpicking hard too. "Alts are bad, just stick with BTC, bruh" XRP, SOL and many other alts blew BTC out of water if you bought mid term and sold heavily during euphoria.

unknowngloomth

Many cryptos did good last cycle tho. BnB, XRP, SOL outperformed BTC rois and bunch of other alts and memes too. But the question is did you take profits or kept holding and rode all the way down?

MushrooGuy

XRP isn't on the list either.. XRP maxis are going to lose it

unknowngloomth

SOL, BNB, XRP had huge rois and they outperformed BTC. I'm not even mentioning a bunch of AI altcoins that had massive runs. But did you take profits or kept holding them believing in the "vision"? So yeah. There was an alt season. But just a very specific ones benefited.

Greedy_Star9857

Isn't XRP better?

XRPCoffeeOrg

Community governance in crypto is a powerful signal of maturity. When users vote on protocol upgrades, it builds trust in the infrastructure. The XRP Ledger has its own version of this — the UNL validator system where 80%+ consensus is required for amendments to activate. XRP Ledger v3.2.0 just hit 89% adoption among trusted validators this way. Different approach, same principle — decentralized decision making. The whole space is moving in the right direction.

JustStopppingBye

XRP is same price it was ten years ago. Now do the same for chainlink.

Wasn’t the XRP army touting that XRP was going to become the chain for banking to take over for swift?

GabeDef

XRP is in shambles

TheresNoSecondBest

XRP scammers keep using this same tactics since years ago, just to Lee the r/ripplescam relevant.

Prestigious-Bank2145

Name one. Top 20 by market cap, any chain that doesn't sign with elliptic-curve keys: * secp256k1 ECDSA: Bitcoin, Ethereum, BNB, Tron, Avalanche, Litecoin, Dogecoin, Bitcoin Cash * ed25519: Solana, Cardano, XRP (also supports secp256k1), TON, Sui, Aptos, Monero, Stellar * sr25519 (Curve25519 Schnorr): Polkadot Every one of these is an elliptic-curve scheme, and Shor's algorithm breaks the discrete-log problem on any elliptic curve, ECDSA and EdDSA alike. That is what "same family of quantum-vulnerable signatures" means. The notable exception is QRL, a chain built specifically around hash-based signatures, which rather proves the rule. The bullet points are the Bitcoin section of the article, as the heading says: Bitcoin holders are the only ones with an address-rotation lever to pull. If "not remotely true for most blockchains" is more than an assertion, naming one major counterexample should be easy.

Prestigious-Bank2145

Happy to skip past the insults and stick to the technical claims, because both of yours are wrong. For your points: Hash-protected addresses only stay protected until they sign something. Ethereum doesn't even include the sender address in a transaction; nodes recover the full public key from the signature (that's what ecrecover does), so any account that has ever sent one tx has its pubkey permanently on-chain, and account reuse means that same key guards the balance forever. XRP puts SigningPubKey right in the transaction. And Solana addresses aren't hashes at all, they are the raw ed25519 public key. Bitcoin's UTXO model is the one that lets you rotate to a fresh hashed address after each spend, which is the point the post made. The "only a hash is exposed" protection you're describing is exactly the mechanic covered in the section right after the part you quoted.

The problem with just posting LLM generated slop is that if you don't understand the topic then you have no idea if what you are pasting is correct or not... > And this is not a Bitcoin problem - it is an every-coin problem. Ethereum, XRP, Solana and virtually every other cryptocurrency prove ownership with the same family of elliptic-curve signatures, so Shor's algorithm threatens them all equally. In one way Bitcoin is actually better placed: account-based chains like Ethereum reuse one address by design, so the public key is exposed from your first outgoing transaction and stays exposed, Almost no other chains use whole public keys as addresses, they just use a small section of it. This means that your public key isn't ever exposed, so it can't be used by a quauntum computer to find a private key. So your title is bullshit. All you are doing by posting this is misleading people. I hope that is just through careless laziness, but if it was intentional then go fuck yourself.

There likely will never be another crypto with BTC's performance, so it's best to get that out of your head. Maybe you can find ones that go up a great deal, like plays such as ETH, XRP, and SOL did. Even finding that is hard, let alone finding the next BTC.
