XRP

Appropriate-Talk-735

They had their chance about 5 years ago to replace swift but failed. Now retail investors are keeping XRP up but will not last forever. My advice is to sell.

What!? What do you mean international payments handled by other?? What does USDT stable coin have to do with XRP as a neutral bridge assset! So all the ETFS being filed, Ripple Execs being on boards at IMF making policies and regulations for the future of digital monetary policy... All of the major institutions at Ripple Swell investing into RIPPLE and XRPL...Japan, South Korea...Ripple acquiring companies to compliment the new rails utilizing XRPL and XRP... Ripple being at WEF with all the major institutions who were also present at Ripple Swell...Ripple being apart of committee to co create the Clarity act to bring the new digital age and crypto into the future... I guess all of this means nothing and Xrp is finished!... lololol, come on bro...do some serious more research and realize what XRP is going to actually be used for!! Also there is many other use cases which also gives it another edge... ITs just the beginning tides for a coin like xrp and the other utility coins which will actually matter once Clarity Act passes and institutions can begin to start utilizing and tokenizing without fear.

Ok-Maintenance2034

So Ripple being at WEF and representing policy creation for CLARITY ACT and for IMF amongst others, while being in countless writeups and documents and articles about XRP AND XRPLEDGERS/Interledgers and having direct communication and business dealings with all of the major institutions world wide being at WEF and all those at WEF being at RIPPLE SWELL even speaking directly on stage about tokenization and cross border payments, Ripple getting a banking license and licenses they need to operate in different Countries to utilize the XRPL, record breaking XRP ETFS being launched by major financial institutions, Japan government officials and major institutions heavily banking on and adopting and sponsoring XRP, Reserves being structured and created around XRP and its future etc etc..., but yet you don't think there is a bright future for XRP? I'm not being rude, I'm just curious to see where that conclusion comes from? What will Ripple do? It was all a scam and a scheme for decades of hard work? Being sued and fighting for XRP and crypto as a whole... after all of that, they will just get rid of all the XRP and all of the XRP rails and XRPL rails and constructions made to work with current institutional infrastructure as well as the new ones which are yet to fully be put in place...they will just dump it and restructure all over again with institutions currently already utilizing it and the rails utilizing it and the XRPL,,, they will just throw it all away or??? lololol. It sounds like so many people talk without realizing how much work is put in place and how legit bat shit conspiracy theory it all sounds... At the same time though, It seems you are realizing it is heavily undervalued? XRP is not ready yet to be utilized at the scale it needs to be...hence clarity act and bringing forth the digital finance age! The revolution that is underway...is what is happening and being regulated and institutionalized and legalized now is it not? I mean from the information i gather its being all put in the works, I think the future is beyond bright for ANY of the top coins bringing utility to the new digital finance space which is in the midst of creation... Maybe i am wrong though,, but it seems people keep intertwining the current FIAT age with what's yet to come and this is where things get blurred in some aspects of crypto! Everyone should come together and be investing in all of the top 10 -20 assets which are pretty much guaranteed to be apart of the future and that alone could pump all of our bags...but yet people would rather argue about things they don't even research while being hypocrites about decentralization and all sorts of other jargon not realizing ETFS and banks are what pumped their BTC bags last bullrun and why BTC is where it is now lol... Anyway i am not hating on anyone or you, I am giving a realistic perspective as a holder/investor of multiple assets and researching each one i am involved in extensively... Research and knowledge is key...It creates less arguments as well as when facts are known, rumors and hearsay doesn't have a chance to be involved in the conversation.

And now XRP makes on shift and it sky rockets up 20 percent then rug pulled right after losing all gains. Id say these coins are 80 percent market manipulation and is only going up on leverage behalf of rich people. *I am a bot, and this action was performed automatically.

Now, this is either huge news for an ultra small and new coin or it is a lie. The problem is that I cannot find any announcement about it from SWIFT. The only source is the CEO of Consensys which among other things has invested in Linea. The site of the project has no mention of the collaboration or the project. On the collaborations, it mentions Mastercard but not SWIFT. Consensys seems to be well funded and well connected but as every single crypto company has a number of questionable endeavors in its past. So, the question is, is it true and this is the most undervalued crypto project out there, or is it a false claim/ miscommunication and there is no collaboration between SWIFT and this extremely young and extremely small cryptocurrency called Linea? *I am a bot, and this action was performed automatically.

I buy a little XRP and BTC every week along with XEQT and QQQI, not selling any for a very long time. DCA that shit, buying consistently is better than trying to figure when the most unpredictable investment will actually bottom. It may have already, nobody really knows.

XRP pump? but why?

I am looking since approx 1 year into livestreams this is what I learned: * Market is not mathematics, its psychology * You wont do 1000x its here and there some % * Get 1 Method which works for you and just do this * EMA * SK * Fibonacci... * Dont trade more than 5 coins, just go for the more "predictable" like BTC, ETH, XRP, SOL etc. * Market beginnings and important appointments or orange man talking are times of volatility, maybe you can surf that wafe... * observe observe observe - * youll see fake outs and in time of low volatility like saturdays, rich people can kill the course... * You will realize, that good trade entrees come with times where high volatility starts. * Know how to manage your account. What are the typical rules of not loosing money * Not loosing money is more important than getting money.

I think HBAR/Hedera will grow into a top tier crypto network operating across multiple categories like a Microsoft or Google of the crypto world. XRP will be like a Western Union, focused on cross border payments and maybe good at that but not used for much else and with market cap much smaller just like WU is much smaller than MSFT or GOOG.

Realistic-Strike-594

when almost every coin is dropping at the same time, it’s usually macro pressure plus leverage getting flushed out. When big players de-risk, they sell strength into rallies, which is why you’re seeing more sell pressure at higher prices than aggressive buying. XRP and SOL aren’t moving on their own they follow Bitcoin’s direction and overall market liquidity good thing I stake it in coindepo staking with high interest rates. Crypto is still a high-beta risk asset, so when fear hits, everything correlates and slides together.

Iam only buying BTC ETH XRP and a little SOL and that’s it in that order

A clear real-world example of XRP adoption is its use by Ripple in cross-border payments. Financial institutions can use XRP as a bridge currency to move money between countries in seconds, reducing costs and eliminating the need for pre-funded accounts. Partners such as SBI Holdings and banks involved with Santander have explored or implemented Ripple’s payment technology to make international transfers faster and more efficient. One exemple is SBI Remit uses XRP (via Ripple) to send money from Japan to countries like Thailand and the Philippines. Money is converted to XRP / Sent across borders in seconds / Converted into local currency / Delivered almost instantly to the recipient Fast, cheap international transfers without traditional banking delays (like SWIFT).

CryptoCircle_

# My Overall Take (Balanced) 👉 **XRP = Stronger TODAY in real financial adoption** 👉 **HBAR = Broader LONG-TERM tech potential** If forced to pick one for “global dominance”: * **Short–mid term:** XRP * **Long term infrastructure play:** HBAR

Great video! But why do you support XRP/XLM over nano, when nano is even cheaper (feeless) and faster to settle?

FalconCrust

Ripple sells conjured XRP tokens to fund the development of RippleNet, which they then sell access to by entities that don't hold or use XRP at all. I wish Ripple was a public company so I could get in on that action.

It would scare XRP investors, because no institution would use XRP.

Post is by: V0idScribe and the url/text [ ](https://goo.gl/GP6ppk)is: /r/CryptoMarkets/comments/1r3nxnf/retail_is_panic_selling_xrp_whales_are_quietly/ XRP holders are now selling at a loss after price fell below the average cost basis ($1.48). On-chain data shows SOPR dropped below 1, which means most coins moved are being sold in the red. That usually signals fear and pressure from recent buyers. We’ve seen a setup like this before (2021–2022), and it led to a long consolidation before things stabilized. When people start panic selling, it often marks an important turning point. But here’s what makes this interesting: while small holders are selling, whales are buying. During the recent dip, there were 1,389 transactions over $100K (highest in 4 months), and active XRP Ledger addresses jumped to a 6-month high in just 8 hours. Big players stepping in while others panic is a classic capitulation signal. If support around $1.20 holds and SOPR moves back above 1, that could mean the selling phase is ending. Fear is high but so is accumulation. Are whales getting ahead of the crowd, or is more downside coming? *I am a bot, and this action was performed automatically.

Competition is something banks dont like .. Coinbase wasnt invited. Makes you wonder what the banks have been doing to XRP after they filed for their own licenses. Anyone else taking note how they stole your money the last 113 years? London pushed to eliminate Bretton-Woods while Nixon was looking to eliminate the FED as one option. London convinced the FED to get the US off gold due to inflation. INFLATION THAT THEY CAUSED.

ETH has been in the red for 12 out of the last 15 months! And 17 out of the last 23. ETH has been in a bear market for much longer than BTC. It had a cursed third cycle - similar to what XRP experienced when the SEC sued. Bitcoin has been fairly sheltered. Now it is being tested by gold and silver, and there's the looming quantum threat. Along with the shrinking security budget. Meanwhile ETH's staked supply has increased to almost 37 million ETH. So it's security budget improved, even as the price declined.

I made bank on the OMG pump narrative. Long live the Google skateboard photo! Hahaha. Wow anything would make coins fly then. It gold sold off and then converted into Beam I believe. Either way, it’s dead dead. Man the ICO era was no joke. Every coin rotated. NEO, Then IOTA, then OMG, then … nope still fix XRP, ahhh now there’s just lotte RT like gambling going on. This space is fucked.

nativepatriot_2

If you have this kind of mindset, you have no idea what you hold. For XRP to hit the predicted numbers, we need a couple of things to happen, most of which have already come to fruition. That's crypto laws, crypto infrastructure, and tokenization. In March of 2023, ISO20022 started and concluded in Nov 2025. In January, the infrastructure and laws were passed. Biden's admin was not pro-crypto, and Trump's admin is. Now we are waiting for the institutions to adopt XRP and put all of their assets onto the Blockchain. When that happens, the switch will be flipped, and the private and public ledgers will merge, causing XRP to spike like numbers you have never seen. It will keep climbing, so don't sell anything yet, and even when it hits astronomical numbers, never sell all of it, as it will create generational wealth. It's rumored that XRP will hit in the ballpark of $327K eventually. #freegame

stefansilva_xrp

I also think that $0.8 will be the bottom. The Binance Oct 10 wick is also at $0.8. From a TA perspective do you think you can explain this. 14th November 2024 XRP was under normal price action to $0.8 then it began its surge. Most Altcoins topped in January where XRP hit $3.30 but XRP rallied a bit more into July but others did not. But during the Oct 10 crash XRP went all the way to $0.8 since then it hasnt hit its Oct 10 wick meanwhile other cryptos have. My question is do you think the whole run up for XRP was manipulative? and do you think because of the binance wick that is the bottom ? Also do you think XRP will ever go above $4? I personally think if XRP bottoms at 0.8, ETH at 1k and BTC at 45k. Neither ETH or XRP will break ATH

SecureWriting8589

This makes me think of the alt-coin XRP and its "XRP Army" which for a bit starting in late 2024 had been able to bump up the price of its coin significantly,... until it couldn't. It's now less than 1/2 its all time high. With every high comes a future and often unpredictable low, and just as in poker, if you don't know within 5 minutes of starting a game who the patsy is, then it's **you**.

David Schwartz is telling that for years. They were building XRP as "better version of bitcoin" which doesn't resonate very well outside the XRP supporter community.

LargeSnorlax

Well, it's not like ALGO or ARB are really old coins either (ARB is from 2023...) so there's not much to compare to in the top 100 - BNB is its own thing, XRP still has a bit of gas from the SEC win, TRX just exists Honestly, a good market indicator is probably DOGE. In the depths of 2020 it was $0.053 and we're *pretty* close to that now. Dogecoin is probably your strongest "retail is in" signal

I was sitting at a random chicken place, and this dude, probably 15 years younger than me, sits next to me. He thinks he's the shit. He randomly starts talking to me and asks when I will be able to retire. He says he will be able to retire in like 7 more years, I guess in his early 30s. He tells me he is 100% in on "XRP" and thats his plan. I mean most people wouldn't even know what XRP was. So I am guessing he wanted me to ask what it was and he could tell me how smart he is to hold an alt coin. But I just felt bad for him. Honestly its like a lot of the people in /bitcoin who think if they can just hold a single coin they will be multi millionaires and have generational wealth lol.

Possible_Refuse_8322

Best advice I can give you as someone who kind of saw this Bearish Crypto market coming is : What outcome will you be able to live with comfortably and not let it drive you insane once you execute that decision?? Each person has a different tolerance. I've done both options, Sold at a loss and used the remaining amount on a different asset which then gave me pretty good returns. Sold at a loss only to see it go back up .. And it also depends heavily on what Crypto token you chose. If you have XRP or ETH , the fundamentals haven't changed. If you have meme coins that were running on "Hype" I'd take the loss and use that money to double up on XRP. I had 10,000 XRP when it was at .30¢ cents and sold half at $3.00 , then saw it peak and start it's downtrend and sold the rest at $2.45. Always take some profit just like gambling in a Casino, put some money in your pocket and keep playing with the house's money. Don't let greed blind you. Even in sports betting the best teams have their worst days against worse teams, nothing is 100% but you can build many rules to "mitigate" your pain. My conclusion is this, Read the environment you're betting it, cause everything is heavily driven by "feelings" lately not by logic Yes I think we are in a Bear crypto Market and gold and silvers hype is to blame. The "get rich quick" guys dropped crypto and Metals are their new toys. I'll definitely pick up some XRP again once I see the price hit new month lows, and I see crypto take the media spotlight again .

Personally I bought a little more crypto the other day when BTC crashed to 60k … a little bit of SOL XRP and ETH… while prices are down I plan to buy more over time

LargeSnorlax

I think the market bottom for this cycle is still around 50-55k, just above the introductions of the ETFs. From there, people will see too much upside and potential, especially comparing with a bloated stock market. Don't think it has anything to do with XRP though. It's this high mostly because it had the SEC case against it dropped rather than any other catalyst or reason.

While many are calling this a breakout attempt, the chart says otherwise. Price faced a strong rejection in the $1.48–$1.52 zone — a classic supply area. That move looked more like distribution than healthy consolidation. We’re now hovering around $1.35, but still below the $1.40 resistance. When price stays under a ceiling like this, it usually signals seller control. The structure is printing lower highs, which weakens bullish momentum. Unless we see a strong daily close above $1.42 to invalidate this setup, the bias remains bearish. Key levels to watch: • $1.20 – first downside target • $1.15 – major liquidity zone • $1.42 – invalidation level Are you buying this dip, or waiting for the $1.15 sweep? *I am a bot, and this action was performed automatically.

No clue. I dont get cryptos volatility. What i do know is that Trump and Garlinghouse made a deal and XRP will be framework of what government is doing with crypto. Domestic bank to bank payment system and more. Seems many are too inpatient to see what that deal fully is. In 3 years these sellers will be kicking themselves. What's more likely. Bitcoin going to $600K or XRP to $15? Thats 15x. I will bet on XRP.

XRP is a shitcoin since 2012, it never stop being one. It drags around false premises, which lead some gullible to buy in hoping a bank would buy it back.

I get what you mean but I added it because I was trying to compare from the top ones in the 2017 cycle. XRP has been a shitcoin since 2018 but had a good 4 months from November 2024 before becoming a shitcoin again

Miserable_Twist1

Happened in 2013 and 2017. Maxis have been calling for the death of alts ever since they started. Looks like it may have finally happened. Some of these coins have been around for over a decade (XRP) and have produced no utility. It’s all vapourware.

qooplmao

Great point. There are 100 billion XRP. Ripple holds around 45 billion, including around 34 billion that are currently in escrow. Ripple's actual wallets therefore hold maybe 10 billion. I'm not sure where you got your stats on them owning about 80% but I'm glad to have a look at whatever source you can provide so we're on the same page. Every month Ripple release 1 billion XRP from the escrow and re-lock an amount usually around 60% - 80%. If Ripple just decide to kill the escrow plan and sink 1 billion each month into the system then prices would drop hugely. They wouldn't want that to happen but they would have that kind of control. Control doesn't always mean "price goes up". If someone/thing has $725 billion to invest in a ridiculously volatile and unregulated asset like Bitcoin it would be safe to assume that isn't their only source of funds and so they might not be doing it make money on the investment, or that investment in particular.

aaj094

Just beware... the XRP price of $1.35 that you are seeing is still the result of some desperate attempt on part of Ripple to 'support healthy markets'. Get out before they stop this support (cough... market manipulation). This is assuming you aren't still taken in by 'adoption in Japan', 'replacement of swift', 'international bridge currency', '100 banking partners', 'world bank endorsement'...

mercuryy

Well, one entity (ripple themselves, because they premined) owns about 80% of all XRP but the price never really took off above 3$ so i am unsure where your argument was based in.

Due-Candy-8929

Don't mess with leverage. Just buy and hold Spot.... By "LOST" I am assuming you bought during the hype and excitement, and then sold in the fear at the lows? When things are way down is a terrible time to sell... Many of us have watched or folios drop significantly... Despite Crypto seeing Institutions buy in.... They were never going to buy the top.... If $1m buys you 7BTC or 300k XRP or 200 ETH, then they would much rather see their buying power rake in much more for their $$$$... now that $1m buys 15BTC, 800K XRP or 500 ETH... all while early investors lose hope and panic sell... New retail will buy back in on hype, while whales profits big

CryptographerOwn225

I work at Merehead where we develop crypto ecosystems. I noticed that there are blockchain technologies that are really in demand. This is not a guarantee of investing in them, but this is what most people are really interested in. We had a hype around Solana when it cost $9. This blockchain ecosystem works and useful. We did a lot of projects at that time using the Solana blockchain. This is something that really works and will be popular in the future. Now I see interest in TON, ATOM and HYPE. As someone who understands blockchain technology well from the inside, I would still prefer XRP and DOT. But let's be honest, marketing plays a big role.

> Should I buy Pepe or XRP? Or, is there a better option than these two? Would anyone recommend SUI, SOL, or ADA? this can't be real...

Nothing Holding a little BTC and XRP and taking the rest of the capital out of crypto. yes all markets are manipulated, but at least in stocks, there is an understanding of the manipulation. Crypto now is like stocks 60-70 years ago. Maybe a few will stick around and do well. Many of the rest will be crushed and manipulated out of existence.

I'd put a little XRP on that list

I hear you on the manipulation it’s definitely a shark tank. That’s exactly why I stopped trying to outguess the 'insiders' and moved toward a systematic approach. If market makers are moving the price, the volatility will show up in the math anyway. I’d rather just follow the tape than try to figure out what XRP is 'actually' worth.

tldr; European investors are capitalizing on the crypto market slump, buying digital assets while US investors pull back. Data shows $187 million in global net outflows from digital asset funds for the week ending February 6, with the US leading withdrawals at $200 million. In contrast, Germany and Switzerland saw net inflows, treating the pullback as a buying opportunity. Bitcoin faced the largest outflows, while altcoins like XRP and Solana saw positive inflows. The sell-off was driven by short-term holders and leveraged positions, not long-term investors. *This summary is auto generated by a bot and not meant to replace reading the original article.

Whole crypto market is ruled by insiders and marketmakers, you'll never beat them, fundamentals work but not really well, just check XRP and ADA, it's real worth is x1000 less.

20% total Crypto for me. 5% ea BTC, ETH, SOL, XRP. It's gonna be one of these that's gonna become the most adopted. It's more than likely gonna be BTC. But who knows. Yahoo used to be the #1 search engine. Excite used to be the #1 social media platform. Books-a-Million was bigger than Amazon. I wanna stake in on more than just one Crypto. Better chance of being in the winner that way.

>Thanks in advance, from a teacher looking to help out my retirement. I hope you don't teach your students to rush into long-term investments based on Reddit comments. If you are seriously considering Pepe, ADA and XRP, it's clear you have no clue about crypto, and are just gambling. Stop looking for advice about crypto here on Reddit. It's like asking Reddit for legal or marriage advice. Start using crypto and see what is actually happening. You'll soon learn there are really only 3 ecosystems with actual activity: BTC, ETH, and SOL. BTC has limited activity but is the most well known. It has failed to provide much utility and now is rebranding as "digital gold." ETH has by far the most utility, over 60% of all stablecoins, the vast majority of tokenized real world assets, the most advanced DeFi, and will likely form the foundation of future asset tokenization. But few know this because they watch Tik Tok and don't actually use blockchains. SOL is very popular with memes, is not as decentralized as Ethereum but has captured the low end market. It's token is highly inflationary but could improve over time. My advice: 40% BTC, 40% ETH, 20% SOL. But you should take 2-3 months and research yourself before investing anything.

It seems like the paid articles and paid influencers for devaluing , suppressing & fudding XRP is working , thanks for the noise to allow me to load up XRP even more at a huge discount . Loading up ⬆️

Pepe or XRP. Mate buy BTC or ETH and go away for 10 years. Simple. Get on with your life and treat it like a pension. If you intend to throw money out the window, you should do just that, have a couple of beers, a joint and then just toss it on out, you’ll have much more fun than buying any form of meme, scam coin. Buying those coins is like torching your wallet. WAKE UP MATE!

BestDamnResults

Stay away from cash and XRP. Personally , if you buying spot , I would wait a few more months. We might have a couple bounces , but we are going to continue the high time frame trend ; which is down. We been descending since the top in October. If you got any questions , shoot me a dm and I’ll send you some of my charts to browse through so you can get an idea of my timeline and my game plan.

RatherCynical

Do not buy any fucking "crypto". You are a novice and you should recognise you know fuck all about crypto. With well over 20 million cryptos, how do you know which would do well? Do you even know what to look for to prevent financial ruin? The only appropriate thing for you to do is to buy Bitcoin, buy Bitcoin Treasury companies like MSTR and Metaplanet, and understand the 4-year cycle. You should only speculate with 20% of your crypto-funds, maximum. And PEPE, XRP, etc are absolutely shit bets.

THEY have canton now… banks don’t need XRP

XRP, Algorand, Cardano, Hbar, and super spec but fun to watch Flare. Will load up on ETH and Sol soon.

Can I ask a serious question without being thrown out of the room? How is something like Crypto supposed to catch on for the average person? It's to complicated and by design you have no protections. you have situations like this where exchanges make mistakes and nothing can be done. I watched a video recently of a guy that put his life savings into XRP and lost it all because he didn't know on one device he used a cold wallet and the other a hot wallet. You can say well he should have done more research or known better but that's the point. The average person already struggles with budgeting and money they don't want to be an expert. The reason why Banks and Credit Card companies work is trust, his XRP is gone and there is no regulatory body or way to deal with fraud. From what I can tell speculators, criminals looking to hide money and scammers are the only ones that are interested. Very few people want to risk using crypto instead of a bank account or credit card that comes with some sort of protections

Miserable_Twist1

Yeah, unfortunately shills work on dumb people, so no doubt the average XRP redditor is a real person that believes the garbage.

Those are the blue chips I am talking about. If you bought SOL/ETH at the peak last cycle, you barely made a profit on paper, more than likely they held assuming it would higher and are now at a loss or sold at a loss. Same goes for XRP except this applies to 2018 top blasters. New alts that can run on hype can probably see some short-lived gains but alts in general are not in a good spot when BTC is now the only one that can truly break new ground cycle to cycle. I think the "speculation" phase for long term alts is done, it's going to take real use cases and adoption to have sustained upside. Those charts are not going to paint a pretty picture with the way things are going. Of course you can always be a cycle trader, buy the pico bottom and get out whenever, but viewing these as HODL because it's never going to zero might be a big mistake.

erjo5055

For 98% of coins I agree. Most are useless shitcoins, but there are a few exceptions with some form of future. I believe ETH, SOL and maybe XRP will likely be around in some form for quite awhile. BTC has already won its place though, the others are still battling.

Is there a chance like Nixon with the gold standard, they just set crypto as the new backing of the dollar, almost like in the show Mr.Robot? I’m a dunce and I just wanna hear some of yalls thoughts and opinions on my questions. Thanks *I am a bot, and this action was performed automatically.

And a little XRP too.

Did you know that Jeff Bezos calls Amazon his "10-year overnight success"? It's because the company stock didn't move much despite Amazon's insane growth, and then, almost like flipping a switch, Amazon's growth strategy translated into retail interest. The point I'm trying to make is that truly intelligent companies intentionally keep their own prices suppressed. This allows structure to form without the pressure of retail. Ripple is doing the exact same thing. That's why they release XRP from escrow incrementally. It's a controlled growth strategy that creates stability and therefore LONG-LASTING structure. Rome wasn't built in a day.

StationEmergency6053

Nice, pump incoming. Ive noticed XRP always does the opposite of whatever these chart watchers say is going to happen.

BlackRibbon69

If so it explains a lot but I still see many people fighting for XRP, massive brainwash or smth idk

Miserable_Twist1

Paid shills. My guess is Ripple made a lot of money in 2013 and have used it to manipulate the market ever since. There used to be a big bot net that would downvote negative XRP comments and videos.

BlackRibbon69

Nah I don't see bright future for XRP, it's still popular for some reason and I honestly don't know why. It's real value is miserable
