XRP decays until it pumps again. Rather IF it pumps again. So it depends your view if this will happen again or not. Most alts never regain their best pump.

We’re getting ready for XRP Las Vegas and have been focused on tightening up our pitch and how we explain what we’re building. The goal is simple: Not just talk about XRPL… but show what real-world usage actually looks like. XRPresso is built around that idea — a marketplace where XRP is used for: • physical goods • services • digital items Not speculation. Actual commerce. Also just received our XRPresso business cards in the mail — small detail, but it makes it feel very real seeing this move from concept → something we can actually put in people’s hands. Curious for feedback from this community: If you had 30–60 seconds to explain XRPresso to someone at an event like this, what would you focus on? Appreciate everyone following along — still early, but building with intent. *I am a bot, and this action was performed automatically.

Bro I got like 20 XRP and 5 million DogShitCoins. I'm golden!

Charger2950

I’ve dumped literally everything except for the valuable stable coins that have actual real world utility.  Like XRP, XLM, Bitcoin, HBAR, and ADA.  I still hold those and keep buying more.  As far as most of the rest…..most are just shitcoins.

Bitcoin is not gonna do anything. Since nobody runs bitcoin. Youre talking about the people who want to use XRP dropping trillions of dollars into it after they "shake out retail" which they never will, since they've got so many of you convinced thats the goal.. so you all hold lol. They, would have to hand ripples management 3.7 trillion dollars to make xrp worth $1000. And im pretty sure thats what you guys say is needed for xrp to run properly. I think now they're saying 10,000, right? So 37 trillion dollars then. Unless management are the only ones who will get shaken out? Not likely.

That’s a wild ride, and honestly, sometimes 'freezing' is the only thing that saves a portfolio. My story is basically the opposite of yours—my biggest mistake was overthinking instead of doing nothing. I ended up selling a decent bag of XRP just a few weeks before the big leg up last year. I thought I was being 'rational' by de-risking, but my timing ended up being accidentally perfect for missing the entire move. It’s a classic reminder that sometimes the market rewards patience more than 'smart' moves.

XRP/Ripple is a scam

japhydean

bought XRP on a tip from a friend and DCA’d until i had several thousand at an average of around $1. sold at $3.

CreatineAddiction

Do you understand basic tokenomics or what? Would love to get your take on XRP cos boy does its future token dilution sure look like a problem....

True_Bodybuilder8095

Right now XRP still moves mostly with the overall crypto market when the market runs, it runs, and when things slow down, it does too. The use case around payments sounds solid, but it hasn’t shown up at a scale where price moves on its own yet. For that to happen, you’d need real, consistent usage from big institutions and actual transaction volume backing it. Until then, it’s basically a large-cap coin that follows the market with the occasional jump on news.

pop-1988

Exclude everything that was launched as an airdrop by fraudulently inheriting the prior history of Bitcoin - BCH, BTG Exclude everything centralized by design - XRP and similar entrepreneurial projects Exclude everything centralized by outcome, because their blockchains are so bloated that nodes are expensive to run, which makes the node network very small - ETH and all the other so-called "smart chains" This leaves BTC, NMC, LTC, DOGE, XMR In recent years, apathy has led to developers drifting away from LTC and DOGE. They both still have large-enough node networks to be decentralized. But each of them is only one Core bug away from having zero nodes > the Price is volatile So? The price market isn't relevant to the question The software which runs on each Bitcoin node has no price-related functions The gold analogy is ludicrous

Cryptognito

XRP was always a scam token. Nothing has changed.

Spirited-Box-2802

Honestly, I’d probably still be behind XRP if it wasn’t for the wave of hype a few months ago. Felt like everyone suddenly had $10+ targets with a lot of conviction. The payments / institutional angle has always been interesting, but it doesn’t feel like much has changed there in terms of real momentum. It had its moment, but sentiment feels like it’s moved on for now. Would take some serious integration or real world usage to shift that again although doubtful.

brandonholm

XRP never was a long term play. It was and always be a grift from Ripple Labs.

It’s been around for a long time compared to most projects, and it clearly has strong brand recognition and liquidity. At the same time, it often feels like its price action is still heavily tied to overall crypto cycles rather than any specific adoption milestones. On the fundamentals side, there’s still the narrative around payments, institutional use, and XRPL development. But I’m curious how much of that is actually being priced in vs just being part of the long-term story. So for people who follow XRP more closely: • Do you see XRP as something that could eventually decouple from the broader market based on real-world usage? • Or is it realistically going to behave like most large-cap crypto assets, where macro sentiment and liquidity drive the majority of price movement? • What would need to happen for XRP to actually move independently (if at all)? Not trying to argue for or against it — just interested in how people here are thinking about it from a market structure / fundamentals angle. *I am a bot, and this action was performed automatically.

I started out buying Butcoin, ten years ago, and only regret that I didnt buy more. My strategy was to swing trade Bitcoin by buying at below the current median price (buy the dip) then sell once it rose to 10 or 15% above the median. Rinse and repeat, hundreds of times. This strategy was designed to increase my holdings, as BTC was very volatile years ago. Of course I had to pay shirt term capital gains every year, but I didnt vare, just as day traders dont care. Now, we have better options for buying the top 4 cryptocurrencies, as the wallet storage issues and crypto taxes are a nightmare, frankly. Instead of opening a Coinbase or Gemini or other account, you can just open a Fidelity or Robinhood or Webull account instead (Webull has great offers for new accounts, too), and then simply buy ticker IBIT (Bitcoin ETF) or ticker ETHA (Ethereum ETF) or ticker GSOL (Solana ETF) or ticker XRP (Ripple ETF) after you deposit USD into your new brokerage account. A simple buy and hold strategy where you use Dollar Cost Averaging (DCA) to buy any of these 4, will allow you to hold crypto in ETFs, where you DO NOT HAVE TO DO CRYPTO TAXES. Instead, the brokerage will send you a 1099-B form at the end of each year, which is 20X easier than a complicated crypto tax return. I know, we do them every tear, and we have to use crypto tax software to summarize our gains. And here's the deal. The gains are the same essentially, minus a tiny ETF fee. Also, Coinbase or whatever exchange charges you a fee for every buy and every sale, so it works out to be the same capital gains purchasing via a crypto ETF with a brokerage account. This is a huge advantage that only recently became possible, when Bitcoin ETFs were launched, followed by ETH ETFs, then Solana, then XRP So, this was not even possible 4 yeaes ago, but it is now. Also, with a brokerage account, you can also invest in Strategy stock (ticker MSTR) and its new preferred dividend stock "Stretch", (ticker STRC), which pays an amazing 11.5% monthly dividend based upon MicroStrategy's Bitcoin holdings. So, it's now easy to have a 100% crypto based investment strategy using a brokerage account. Do it with a Roth IRA and it's an even better strategy.

chrisb720

I pretty much got out of most altcoins last year. I'm just ETH, XRP and a few privacy coins like XMR. In the last cycle i was always looking for those moon coins and never succeeded. Most are rubbish. Stick with the ones that have stood the test of time. I was never an XRP fan, but I think it could just be something big in the future

ubermensch1001

Yeah, man, I think you are spot on here. I would honestly say the biggest risk factor to losing your crypto is leaving it on exchanges, which is probably what the majority of retail investors do. Your account can easily be hacked OR where you are locked out of your assets. Something else I saw recently was some ledger live app on the app store that people were downloading that resulted in their funds being drained. They made it sound like something insanely elaborate and difficult to recognize, but if you followed the full story this fake app would request users to put in their seed phrases. Basically a more elaborate phising scheme. There was another story from last fall where some guy using an Ellipial wallet had 7 figures worth of XRP drained. However, the wallet had this feature where it was both a cold AND a hot wallet. It sounded like he had the wallet on a tablet, but in order to do this you needed to turn it into a hot wallet. When the story came out Ellipial completely took down the hot wallet feature. Granted, this was user error, but something marketed as a cold wallet should NEVER have had something like this as a feature. I do agree with you though about those overcomplicating things. Securing the seeds is the most important thing to do, but I could see someone getting a bit too deep into this to where they easily lose the ability to access their funds. This could be through loss of seeds, overcomplicating multi sig, etc. These various factors I mentioned probably would account for the vast majority of actual risk of losing funds. Wrench attacks are a bit different, but I think there is an easy way to mitigate this. Don't keep seeds on you or at your residence, have wallets set up to where you would have to restore them in order to use them. Granted, they could still kill you lol, but they wouldn't be able to access your funds.

XRP looks stronger from a fundamentals standpoint. Its established partnerships with financial institutions and broader real-world adoption give it an edge over HBAR in terms of long-term positioning.

Ambitious_Use_9578

This is why I didn't want to get into crypto, I didn't understand it whatsoever. Lucky for me, some friends at work who knew the ropes helped me out because I was hearing great things about a thing called XRP and wanted to get into it but didn't know how. With their help, and lots of research later I became reasonably functional in the crypto world. But I've learned how dangerous it is, it's like the wild west. Lots of rug pulls and the market is kind of rigged. Hopefully the Clarity Act can change some of that.

That was a slight at XRP and his choice of investment You really thought that bit was serious :/

NagualShroom

Who told you XRP is going anywhere past $5? Whether something goes up 20x or 100x isn't a measure of whether a coin is crap

suckyuhhmada

This is pretty common in the US unfortunately. Some banks flag crypto purchases as high-risk and block them entirely. A few workarounds people use: Chime and some credit unions tend to be more lenient than major banks. You can also fund exchanges via ACH (usually slower but works) or debit card on platforms that support it directly. Once you're on an exchange, moving between platforms is straightforward — been doing that myself for a while now. BitMart for example lets you fund via card and has decent coverage of altcoins if you're trying to diversify beyond just XRP.

Waste-Milk2716

Switch to Coinbase advanced to get lower fees. Buy USDC. Use the USDC to buy XRP

MakCapital

Fees are 0 to do what I said. Treat as stable onboard. Both are some of best options in industry as far as trust. Coinbase as custody provider for major ETFs. At this point you can even buy XRP on Solana.

Longshanks2021

Use Venmo. Send money to Venmo and buy crypto there. Then send crypto to an exchange to buy the XRP is a workaround.

pirate_pues

It's because you are buying XRP Switch banks...this is the whole purpose of BTC Nobody in the middle of your transactions

MakCapital

Get a different bank. However, it's unlikely they will block you from depositing into both Robinhood and Coinbase. From there you can freely convert to USDC and buy whatever you want on chain for almost no fees (XRP on Solana) or limit orders with the same CEX for greatly reduced fees. Never buy the asset directly with your bank. Use centralized exchanges as stable ramps. Silver lining, your bank did you a favor on blocking investments into a meme.

Post is by: BitMartExchange and the url/text [ ](https://goo.gl/GP6ppk)is: /r/CryptoMarkets/comments/1sodbrx/strait_of_hormuz_reopening_signal_sends_markets/ Iran’s announcement that the Strait of Hormuz is “completely open” for commercial vessels during the Lebanon ceasefire landed exactly where global markets are most sensitive: the junction between geopolitics, energy, inflation, and risk appetite. The statement, posted publicly by Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi and echoed by major news outlets, immediately gave traders permission to price in a lower probability of a prolonged supply shock. The fastest reaction came in oil. Reuters reported that Brent crude fell 8.5% to $90.93 and U.S. crude fell 9.4% to $85.82 after the announcement. That move matters beyond commodities. Hormuz is not just a shipping story. It is one of the world’s core inflation transmission channels. When the market starts to believe that oil can flow more normally, the entire macro stack changes: inflation expectations ease, recession odds come down, and pressure on central banks looks less severe. That is why the next asset class to benefit was equities. U.S. stocks had already been leaning into a relief rally even before the specific Hormuz statement arrived. Reuters reported that on April 16 the S&P 500 and Nasdaq closed at record highs, with investors responding positively to ceasefire and diplomacy headlines tied to the Middle East. The Strait of Hormuz development strengthens that same logic. Lower oil reduces the need to price in worst-case damage to corporate margins, consumer spending, airline fuel costs, freight costs, and broader growth expectations. At the sector level, the message is straightforward. If the reopening signal proves durable, transportation, travel, consumer, and rate-sensitive growth stocks should be among the clearest beneficiaries, because they gain from lower energy costs and a softer inflation outlook. By contrast, parts of the energy complex lose some of the scarcity premium that had supported them while the market feared a more sustained blockade. Reuters’ earlier market coverage captured that contrast well: energy had been the strongest S&P sector when oil was elevated, which means a genuine normalization in Hormuz traffic would likely rotate leadership away from crude-linked winners and back toward broader risk assets. Crypto joined the relief trade, but with a more skeptical tone. CoinDesk reported Bitcoin around $76,862, Ether near $2,424, XRP near $1.48, and Solana near $90.11, all higher on the day. Still, the more interesting detail was not the rally itself. It was CoinDesk’s interpretation that the move was already starting to lose momentum because traders want real-world confirmation: restored oil flows, lower crude premia, and clearer disinflation. In other words, crypto is participating in the risk-on move, but it is not fully endorsing the geopolitical optimism yet. That distinction is important. Oil can react instantly to a shipping headline because its pricing is directly tied to physical bottlenecks. Equities can extend that reaction because lower energy stress supports the broader earnings and macro picture. Crypto, however, often trades one step further out on the confidence curve. It responds to the market mood, but it also depends heavily on liquidity conditions, bond volatility, and the credibility of the macro narrative. CoinDesk noted that even as crypto volatility has declined, traders still see this as partial normalization rather than full repair. That caution looks justified. AP reported that even after Iran’s declaration, European powers were still organizing security and safe-passage measures for the strait, including mine-clearing, intelligence support, and communication procedures with coastal states. That means the market is currently pricing the signal of reopening faster than the operational proof of reopening. For investors, that gap is the real story. The short version is that this news is bullish for risk assets in the near term, especially because it attacks the most dangerous part of the prior market narrative: a prolonged oil shock feeding directly into global inflation and growth fears. But the durability of the move will depend on whether ships actually move normally, insurance and freight conditions stabilize, and the ceasefire itself holds. For now, the market verdict is clear. Oil treated the statement as a major de-escalation. Equities treated it as confirmation of a relief rally already underway. Crypto moved higher, but with enough hesitation to remind everyone that headlines open the door and real-world flows decide whether the trade can stay open. *I am a bot, and this action was performed automatically.

Reaching **HBAR** = $1 is more realistic than reaching **XRP** = $10 due to *the difference in required market capitalization.* * XRP is a more mature and stable project, meaning lower risk but slower growth. * HBAR is smaller, therefore higher risk but potentially higher returns. **Conclusion**: # Probability of Target: HBAR is higher # Investment Quality and Stability: XRP is higher

edmcryptodad

Why is that so hard to believe? Lol. I cashed out most of it Sept 25th and the rest before the big dump in late October. I was so relieved. 😅 My portfolio’s ATH was about $105k, I sold and walked with $97k. Paid off my truck 6yrs early ($40k), put down 1/3 ($24k) of a new 30” travel trailer last week, $6k on a vacation and I have $27k leftover. Thank you XRP. Starting June I’m gonna DCA $500/mo into BTC only and try again. I’m guessing you lost your shirt or you wouldn’t be so salty. 🤣

illcutit

Yeah the HBAR and XRP/Ripple use case arguments rely heavily on thinking in traditional finance/banking whereas crypto as a whole is an evolutionary technology within that realm. It’s like making a better bolt action rifle for your army when gas operated weapon systems are coming around or focusing on better image quality with black and white cameras meanwhile people are developing color cameras.

MakCapital

This is so bad. Bitcoin can simply be seen as a great SOV and measurement of global wealth. That's all it needs to be for a strong base case. Already accomplished. XRP and HBAR have no interesting fundamentals or users. No back room deal with anyone is going to get the world on XRP. Both would already have users if the current offerings were of any interest to anyone. They will never be valued like BTC. Stables on Solana already make XRP's leading advertised use case pointless. "Web3" is currently Ethereum, Solana, and Hyperliquid. No one is asking for, using, or needs HBAR or XRP. Neither will ever be valued as currency or "digital gold/silver". Neither offers a product that exceeds the current leaders we already use.

PuzzleheadedBell4057

If I pulled a dollar out of my pants pocket 3 years ago I would have pulled a dollar out of my pants pocket 3 years ago. Now let's say I placed that dollar back in my pants pocket, took them off when I got home, hung the pants up and didn't touch the pants until today Today I put the pants on and I find that same dollar in my pants. It's still the same dollar. The issue is the dollar won't be able to purchase as much as it did 3 years ago, but it's still a dollar. A dollar is still a dollar. The confusion appears to be that the units of currency are being confused with the purchasing power of said units. One dollar will always be one dollar. One Bitcoin will always be one Bitcoin. The units remain the same, however, the purchasing power of each of those units is what changes. I can only purchase half of what I could with one Bitcoin today compared to 6 month ago if I were to use it to make a purchase. But it's still one Bitcoin. Look, crypto makes up 20% of my portfolio (5%ea BTC, ETH, SOL, XRP) so it's not like I'm against the currency. I'm just not so much of a zealot about crypto as to try to defend it with irrational defenses. They're investments like any other in my portfolio that I hope increase in value over the next 10 or so years. That's all they are.

funkinaround

4th thing is wash trading. Don't trade on an exchange that inflates its volume to give you the illusion of activity. Only trade on exchanges with very low or no wash trading volume. For major pairs like BTC, ETH, XRP, and LTC, exchange wash trading percent: * OKX - 66% of volume is wash trading * Binance - 51% of volume is wash trading * Bitstamp, Coinbase, Gemini, Bitfinex - practically no wash trading [https://www.nber.org/papers/w30783](https://www.nber.org/papers/w30783)

The advice being given here is all the usual boilerplate WRT crypto. The really good industry finger-on-the-pulse stuff, or inner circle knowledge isn't given away at all, let alone for free on a reddit thread. But here's some more boilerplate for you, pick any of the top 10 cryptos that meet your criteria. XRP being among them. If the market tanks this summer due to worsening economic conditions and or civil unrest, hang on. This and most of the top 10 will rebound and then some.

Equivalent-Bear8030

You’re basically choosing between narratives. XRP = regulation + banking narrative. It moves when headlines, partnerships, or legal clarity hit. Big upside needs global adoption to actually translate into price. HBAR = tech + enterprise rails. Strong fundamentals, but slower market recognition and less hype fuel. Real talk? Both need massive market cap expansion to hit those targets. $10 XRP or $1 HBAR isn’t impossible—but it’s not just “time,” it’s adoption + liquidity. If you’re going all-in on one: 👉 XRP = momentum + narrative plays 👉 HBAR = long-term utility bet Personally? I don’t chase “which hits X price.” I look at which survives when the hype dies. That’s where most people get wrecked. 💯

KateR_H0l1day

I have some XRP, not a lot, have a lot more HBAR, but that’s just me, did I choose correctly, we will see 🤷‍♀️. But for clarification, neither are my main selection.

BenniBoom707

The chances of HBAR hitting $1 are far greater than the chance of XRP hitting $10. A $1 HBAR is still just about a $40 Billion Market Cap. A $10 XRP means a Market cap around $500 Billion.

Quinthyll

Why are you not willing to invest in both? Diversification is the better strategy, but far. There are good use cases for both. Both have upside, but could and likely will move on different timescales. I personally believe more strongly in XRP than HBAR, which is why I own 5x more XRP.

chubs66

XRP is one of the last tokens i would ever buy. Terrible usage, terrible tokenomics.

HSuke

Yeah. That's the same reason we consider XRP to be sketchy AF. Founders and Ripple control far too much of the supply.

No-Unit-6074

For a 3–5 year decision, the ideal approach is not just to compare price targets (nobody really knows them) but the fundamentals: tokenomics, dilution rate, real network activity, decentralization. I used [CryptoScores.com](http://CryptoScores.com) to compare both, it aggregates a lot of on-chain and fundamental metrics on projects. HBAR actually comes out better on technical solidity and low inflation, XRP has more volume and institutional liquidity. In the end it comes down to risk profile, but having data in front of you really helps make the call.

ChangeNOW_Community

no one can realistically "call" $10 XRP vs $1 HBAR with any confidence - they’re driven by different narratives

Whiskey_Water

Investing in BTC is investing in greed, investing in XRP is betting on Brad’s ability to make backroom deals with the current admin, and investing in HBAR is betting on fundamentals and utility of a clearly superior technology. I used XRP gains to buy more HBAR and BTC, but if I’m honest, I’ve been burned by focusing on the best tech before. We’ll see what happens this time, lol. I’m a creature of habit.

Think-Sector-6329

Hmmm focus more on XRP for the safer bet and HBAR for the bigger upside bet. But focus more on price targets and more on where real momentum and wallet activity are. You can also check tools like Blueblocx to explore other crypto opportunities to help you decide.

evandollardon

XRP imo. I bought years ago and I just accumulate interest on it at nexo

CreatineAddiction

I know you said not both but I do both because XRP has the hype to reach $10 in that time but bad ongoing token dilution where HBAR has less token dilution but not the hype. Im optimistic they will both hit these milestones in the time frame regardless.

So a decade plus of all the BTC bozo's claiming XRP can be frozen on the XRPL (which it can't) They now come out and want to freeze BTC on chain.... You cant make this nonsense up

I made 100x more money in crypto after taking a loss, learning, doing a better job the next time the market turned around. some of my expensive lessons worth learning: -markets go up and down, always, and more in either direction than you expect, when you expect -your media diet is shaped by algorithms that are meant to push a narrative based on your interests (if you post about and like XRP the feed will give you more XRP content) -it's ok to sell, foundations and VCs do it all the time because it's part of the lifecycle -set lower price targets for taking profits, this discipline is part of the process -set aside extra cash for taxes -diversify based on thoughtful research (and not youtube videos and reddit posts), but not too much -this isn't the end many more lessons to take for yourself, these have been some of mine. it's still hard. i buy and hold assets that i have conviction in, so it seems wrong to sell. but it isn't wrong, it's just markets. yes, you might miss a move up in price, nobody knows, but there's also a good chance that XRP will act like ETH and live sideways for years while the market pumps. you don't know. best of luck, and don't trust others to help you in DMs. do the research on Ledger official documentation and tutorials yourself.

send a small test first, then move your XRP to a trusted exchange, sell, and withdraw take it slow and stay safe

I kept wondering about four years ago the last few days and finally checked. [https://coinmarketcap.com/historical/20220410/](https://coinmarketcap.com/historical/20220410/) BTC, BNB, and XRP are up from then. ETH, SOL, ADA, AVAX, DOGE, and DOT are down. Tether and USDC were in the top 12. And Terra was #9 at $92.58.

You’re not messing anything up by using funds when you actually need them, the market timing part hurts but this is exactly what having control of your own wallet is for. When you’re ready, send a small test amount of XRP from your Ledger to an exchange first, confirm it arrives, then do the rest and convert to cash, just double check the destination tag and network details because that’s where mistakes usually happen.

Be extra extra careful about scammers in your DM when you post something like this. The steps are rather simple, explain to ChatGPT or Claude or go to popular Youtube tutorials. Make sure to do a small test transaction and reuse the same address. There's usually a few days waiting period after CEX receive your XRP and before you can withdraw the USD to your bank account I think.

To withdraw from Ledger, send your XRP to an exchange (like Coinbase or Kraken), sell it for cash, then withdraw to your bank. Double-check everything and do a small test transfer first if you’re unsure.

OpticallyMosache

You have XRP in a wallet whose keys are held by the Ledger device, right? If I hear you correctly, you want to transfer XRP to an exchange like Coinbase and sell for fiat? Go to your preferred CEX and create an XRP receiving address. Then take that address and use it to send from your ledger. Do a small test transfer and then reuse the same address for a larger tx. IMO - prices are going to continue to bleed. You might be happy to see you sold XRP at today's price versus where it will be at the end of the year. However, you might have to live with seeing where the price is 10 years from now. You'll come back. Said a prayer to our Lord Jesus for you.

I’m sorry you are going through this. Just get on Youtube and search how to transfer XRP from Ledger to the exchange you originally purchased the XRP from. Once it’s there you can sell it for USD and transfer it to your bank account.

🙋🏻‍♂️ My average buy price is right around $17.2K. Purchased a decent size lump right after selling a house that was inherited. My OG buy price when I first started buying BTC was right around $39. I never thought that it was going to get as big as it did, I just purchased it for degenerate online gambling purposes! I have quite a bit of ETH, SOL and XRP also.

brianmonarch

Why? Blue chip altcoins usually outperform btc after it moves. XRP and SOL have both outperformed it as of recently. Look it up. Also… After the next bull run… What’s realistic? Which coin is more likely to have even just a 3X or more? Bitcoin? That might be the maximum it’ll get. I think other coins will definitely outperform it when all is said and done. And many will fail.

Sardoodledome

XRP behaves more like a stable coin!

I think a lot of people finally figured out that 99% of crypto is just a scam.  99% of it has zero utility value, or any value for that matter, and is based upon nothing.   There’s a hunger for REAL assets, like gold, silver, etc.  I think crypto like Bitcoin, Ethereum, Hedera, Cardano, XRP, etc. are the “safe” crypto, as these actually have a solid real world use. But as far as all the men’s coins and all that bullshit, there’s little future.

Lots of XRP bots in this sub looking to unload some bags

ecelps

Reading comments and it seems no one mentioned XRP

GabeDef

Why is XRP even mentioned? Isn’t it dead? Like zero use?

You don't need to use XRP for RippleNet

CipherScarlatti

No. No pep talk. Ripple XRP sucks and you're giving you money to a grifter. It's never going to be the BS Garlinhouse keeps feeding you. From Wikipedia: "In 2020 Garlinghouse admitted that Ripple Labs would be losing money if it did not have the revenue generated from the sales of the XRP cryptocurrency.[10]" That's you. You're "keeping the dream alive" and keeping him in a very nice style of living. While you and others struggling to make ends meet under the lie that your XRP will suddenly jump to $10 or more and solve all your money issues.

Ripple is not XRP. They are a fintech company who offers a whole bunch of financial services, consultancy services, and digital asset services. XRP is involved in and makes up less then 5% of Ripples business. And it makes up near 0% of their actual published future plans. That’s why you are getting confused by all the positive Ripple news having no impact on XRP. Because you are still trapped in thinking that they are the same thing. Almost all Ripple news since the case ended, every acquisition, every partnership signed, every expansion of products or services? Has been got none XRP things. Even their digital asset expansion and acquisitions have been about RLUSD. Which has basically fuck all to do with XRP. Is not minted on the XRPL mainly (87% of it is on Ethereum). And the small bit that is minted on the XRPL is a direct currency issuance, which means it never interacts with XRP. XRP isn’t used to “bridge” or provide liquidity. It simply does not involve XRP meaningfully in any way at all. So that’s why the price is shit despite the Ripple outlook being amazing. Because Ripple is not XRP. Anymore than you are XRP just because you hold some of it. They have about the same amount of link to XRP as you do as a holder, they just have a larger bag lol.

This week it barely fired. At first that frustrated me. Then I looked at the data. The bot has a regime detector built in. When it classifies the market as RANGING — no directional trend, just chop — it blocks all entries. No trades. Full stop. This week most of the coins I track were flagged as RANGING. So it sat on its hands. Here's the thing — I went back and looked at what would have happened if it had traded during ranging conditions. 42.6% win rate. Negative expectancy. Death by a thousand cuts. In BULL\_TREND — 100% win rate. BEAR\_TREND — 100% win rate. The silence wasn't a bug. It was the system doing exactly what it was designed to do — protect capital when there's no real edge. Most retail traders feel compelled to trade constantly. The algo doesn't care about feelings. No edge, no trade. Full stop. Curious if anyone else builds regime filtering into their systems or if you just trade through the chop? *I am a bot, and this action was performed automatically.

Buy stuff like watches with XRP.

I've got half my XRP on my Tangem wallet and the other half generating yield on Flare Network's Vault

unknowngloomth

I'm not recommending any kind of investment. You absolute 🤡. Yeah, I'm aware of FTX collapse. So what? That's the risk I'm willing to stomach it. Who said I don't trust the project? I trust HYPE. The team literally didn't sell a single coin. It's all on-chain. Even Arthur Hayes who held and had dumped HYPE watched the team literally not selling their coins. He bought back and became bullish. HYPE tokenomics is deflationary. They use the trading fees to buybacks and burn. Everything happens in real time which you can check by yourself checking on-chain data. Am I saying that hype will be the next BTC? No, fuck that. Am I saying that HYPE is a sure thing? No, fuck that. In crypto everything is uncertain. But yeah, I believe that HYPE has the potential to dwarf SOL and compete with BNB, XRP and ETH. Am I recommending you to buy HYPE? No, screw you. You don't have the balls to go all in on ETH the wager you believe and that's why you're posting here wondering to strangers. Nobody knows shit about fuck in this space 🤡

brianmonarch

Not true. XRP has outperformed it in the last year or 2. Look it up. BTC just has a store of value at this point. And that might be enough for it to succeed. But if utility matters in the future, and I think it might, I’m not sure it’ll be as good of a money maker as it has been. But maybe!

Can't wait XRP to fly too

Altruistic-Part6071

Can I vent in here, please? I'm not a beginner, but I'd like to pass on some advice. I invested £10,000 into Hbar, XRP, Algo, and a couple of other Dino coins. This was about five years ago(not the XRP, that was more recent) When Trump won, my total was worth $45,000. And I should've sold, what I did was sold £12,000 and kept the rest in. When the Epstein shit came out and everything dropped like a stone, I stupidity sold. Now I have virtually nothing. I feel humiliated. I know I was stupid. I just don't know how to move on.

midachavi

Not only, literally any other crypto out there would be better than this overhyped store of value that can't be used as a payment system. But yeah, if ypu don't want to bullshit around with "smart programmable money" where you click wrong and your wallet is drained then there are only few options that focus on providing monetary qualities without censorship. Bitcoin cash would be among them. Same as Monero and Litecoin. And of course the best among them.... XRP /s

brianmonarch

You have no idea what you’re talking about. You’re making assumptions. You guys are forgetting one important factor. Partnerships. Hadera and Ripple have huuuge partnerships with huge companies. They’ve been building them for years. That’s why it doesn’t matter if a faster coin comes out. Who cares if it settles a transaction in half a second instead of two seconds. It’s all real time at this point …those new coins don’t have partnerships Those coins that do (HBAR and XRP) with huge companies like Ripple and Hedera championing them …. are being used for their utility right now. Companies don’t want to invent their own tech. Banks might. But I don’t think the companies mentioned above are even counting on Banks at this point. They have other use cases the whole Swift narrative is so old at this point. It was a thing people discussed five years ago. I don’t think it’s going to happen but these huge companies… They don’t want to hope that AI is going to make them something that is secure and perfect. That stands the test of time. These coins are tested…. over 10 years old now. They have shown that they are hack proof. At least up until now. This thread is just a bunch of doomsdayers, assuming the worst. It’s so obvious that 90% of the people in this discussion are bitcoin maximalists. Guess what… It’s the oldest, least green, slowest and least useful coin out of all of them. Periooood. All it has at this point is a store of value. That’s it. But these guys are in a vacuum chamber, surrounded by other people that have the same positive view about this coin. And maybe that’s enough. I’m not saying it’s not. But when utility matters… and I do believe it will… I don’t know what’s gonna happen to BTC after that point. But maybe its store of value will last forever and continue to grow. Definitely a possibility. But when it comes to utility and actually being used… Ain’t happening. Lightning network is nothing compared to the coins that are made for this sort of job. Look it up.

Ambitious_Use_9578

And how many billions did the trump coin get them? Surely much more then they lost through any bitcoin investments. I'm pretty sure they made a ton when XRP went up 500% as well. What was the point of this article again?

Solana. Big enough to be steady, big enough following, no crooked ass management who promises way too much, yet constantly skips off the top (XRP), biggest mostly untapped potential, in my opinion. After solana, eth, just because of name recognition, and the fact that when bitcoin maxis consider "diversifying", or new people get into crypto, they always go with #1 and #2. I do believe bitcoin will exceed all time highs and break new ones, but after another cycle or so, I think its dominance will come to an end, and coins with actual utility will rise up. Eth and sol will lead the pack.
