Post is by: nonamenocare and the url/text [ ](https://goo.gl/GP6ppk)is: /r/401jK/comments/1oqb3vg/have_posted_about_this_before_a_while_back_in_the/ First and foremost, DYOR and be cautious. This is not financial advice. This is for educational purposes. Happily holding and continuing to add to my bag for over a month. Since my first exposure to $401jK, everything about this token resonated with me and the community has been amazing, which makes me incredibly happy to be a part of it. Bought during the run up to last ATH. I saw my bag more than triple in size before the dip and yet I wasn’t phased; instead, I doubled my investment. Sadly, it dropped further after that big buy but I honestly could care less because this community is unrelenting, unstoppable, and growing larger each day. Despite the dip, I continued to buy more. All this to say, that I consider myself hugely fortunate to be a part of this community and movement. I’m currently enjoying incredible gains and this brings me to the topic of securing your crypto. I will not attempt to get into the nitty gritty here. Instead, I will provide a basic framework and also share a bit about my own experience and hopefully encourage others to explore the benefits of cold/hardware wallets while hopefully it scaring anyone away. Lastly, I’d just like to strongly encourage people to check out @cyberscrilla on YouTube. His videos are incredible and he is very open and straightforward. Dude is a massive advocate for using cold wallets and educating the masses on the variety of options available. He also breaks it down in very easy to understand terms all the ways in which you can protect your assets in addition to the impact crypto is having on society at large. Obviously there are plenty of great resources, but I strongly believe this is a great starting point. It’s a cliche, but great power comes with great responsibility. Crypto allows you to own your own money and it’s essential that you take protecting your assets seriously. In general, CEXs have a role but you should never store your funds there long term. The reason being is that you don’t truly control those coins and are exposed to the risk of their wallets being compromised or even having funds frozen by the CEX. The reason you don’t control your coins is because your funds are mixed up with others and not in a unique wallet that you control. Hot wallets are okay, but at the end of the day it’s usually an app on your mobile phone and thus connected to the internet. Crypto security is next level. Just watch a few videos on how secure the bit-39 standard is that is widely used to generate secret keys/seed phrases. That being said, none of that matters when you store that sensitive data on an internet connected device, which a hot wallet is. This means that even if you don’t type the seed phrase in anywhere, don’t screen shot it, and don’t photograph it you still are technically vulnerable if your device (i.e., mobile phone is also compromised). You should still write the seed phrase from any hot wallet you use down in the event you ever lose access for any reason (e.g., phone breaks). Even better if you use a more robust solution like recording it on something like metal washers or a metal plate of which there are DIY and products marketed that allow you to do this easily and without prior experience in many cases. Regardless, you should store these in a safe and secure place. Eventually you need to determine contingency plans for how others could access it in cases of tragedy (major injuries, death, etc.). Does not have to be figured out right away but should definitely think about it. Huge pro here though is that you own your private keys now, not some CEX. Thus, no CEX or other entity can freeze your funds but the trade off is that you are wholly responsible for the security of said funds now. Cold/hardware wallets first and foremost do not store your crypto. What they do is generate your private key/seed phrase securely without being connected to the internet thus ensuring that without physical access it’s essentially impossible to crack. Again, research bit-39 to understand just how secure we are talking here. And if a hacker gets physical access to said wallet, my experience is that the major vendors (and I imagine all the rest also) have robust defenses against brute force attacks. At this point I want to stress emphatically that just like a hot wallet, you don’t want to type in, screenshot, or photograph your seed phrase generated by the cold/hardware wallet. This should go without saying but there is a recent example of a man here in the US about to retire who had $3 million in XRP stolen. He has graciously shared his story and it was discovered that the hardware wallet he used was fine in general but when he tried connecting his wallet to another device because in doing so he entered his seed phrase on the official app for the hardware wallet on another device. This may cause some confusion, which is why I recommend you DYOR as well and highly encourage you to check out @cyberscrilla’s YouTube channel. But, basically you can exchange funds stored with your hardware wallets on DEXs like OKX, phantom, etc. without having to type in your private key. Instead, it connects via Bluetooth and while you set the transaction up in the DEX, it can only be signed/approved on the hardware wallet and your phone never actually sees or even has access to your private key/seed phrase. In this instance, the app from the hardware wallet itself allowed users to essentially convert their cold wallets into hot wallets. So when the man’s device was compromised the keys stored on said device were exposed. This was stupid and I’m pretty sure the company is working or has already removed this functionality. It is also possible that the man may have carelessly entered his seed phrase in response to a phishing scheme. Basically, the key is to realize that you never want your seed phrase on anything connected to the internet and in doing so you’re so far ahead of most in the crypto community. If I remember correctly a recent survey found that only like 10% of people utilize a hardware wallet. This was a few years ago but I think it’s fair to assume adoption is still on the lower side. In terms of hardware/cold wallets there are many options. I asked around and encourage you all to do the same. Ultimately, I went with a ledger stax. It’s on the pricey side in terms of what’s on the market and they just released what seems to be a much cheaper alternative but I’m still happy with my purchase. There are other solid options though including Trezor and others. The @cyberscrilla guy really likes Tangem (but also is fair when discussing other options), which seems to have a perfect track record in terms of security, although I’m not a fan that you generate the seed phrase on your phone. This brings me to a quick breakdown on how I suggest you navigate jumping in to the world of cold/hardware wallets. - DYOR (again, @cyberscrilla has a great channel and the guy seems to love and breathe hardware wallets) - ask around for others’ opinions/insights - decide on a wallet - buy cold/hardware wallet (I can’t stress this enough, but ONLY buy directly from the manufacturer and NEVER from third parties including Amazon; 3rd parties aren’t necessarily bad but it adds unnecessary risk that isn’t there when you buy direct) - play around with cold/hardware wallet (i.e., familiarize yourself with UI of the accompanying app, send test transactions, etc.; in my case I accidentally wiped my device by accidentally messing up my pin 3 times, a very string safety feature, and in doing do learned how straightforward it was to set it back up, which is the same process as if your device was damaged and you bought and need to set up a new device; entering a prior passphrase into a new wallet is not an issue since the hardware wallet isn’t connected to the internet) - once comfortable, transfer funds you plan on holding and relax or… If you want even more security there are options but it is imperative you are comfortable with the basics as more security means more complexity and thus more potential areas for mistakes to be made. - you can add an extra layer of security you can create a passphrase wallet - this essentially is a “secret” wallet within a wallet - it shares the same passphrase as the other wallet and differs in that you get to create your own “13th” or “25th” word in your seed phrase - what this means is that even if someone has your entire seed phrase they still can’t access your funds without your password, which can be anything up to 100 characters if I’m not mistaken - additionally, recovering access is the same process as setting up a new device by entering your seed phrase and then creating a passphrase wallet with the same passphrase used to create the one you wish to access - this should be plenty for most people but there are further options still like multi sig where multiple hardware wallet devices are needed to sign/approve transactions. I know this is a bit long winded but hopefully you find it useful and aren’t scared away. Ultimately, I like so many in the community want to educate others on how to be safe and protect your assets. This isn’t an exhaustive guide just some of what I’ve learned along my own journey. I’m stoked to see where $401jK goes and I sleep a lot more peacefully implementing and understanding the ways in which I secure my retirement fund. TL;DR crypto is great, you need to be careful, if you plan on investing/holding you should learn about options available for storing your assets and I strongly encourage you to purchase a cold/hardware Just remember to DYOR (lots of great resources, I think the @cyberscrilla YouTube channel is an amazing starting place as I learned a ton from him), only buy directly from the manufacturer for extra se

Utilising 75% of sold amount repurchase BTC and send the concerned wallet address of my Nexo and Walbi wallets without delay and purchase XRP and send to the XRP wallet to the given address and unlock all the loyalties of my Nexo wallet account and relieve my portfolio amount as early as possible .

whisperedstate

Happened every other time. A better metric in hindsight was XRP pumping. Just look at that graph. Signalled the bear every time.

Lehcen

In 2017 I bought 26k Aave for 2k was called Lend back then. Forgot about it until one day I remembered and checked my wallet. it went up to 14k. Without merit I felt like a Genius and started looking for the next gamble. $80 ETH was boring for me. So I put it in Shiba Inu 2 months later my 14k became 100k. I bought 3.5 btc 25k XRP and 300 solana. and gambled the rest on shit coins. Sold sol and XRP and dumped in btc. I didn’t really understand the value of btc until I read the Bitcoin standard which sent me in a deep rabbit hole and I dug deeper into monetary history… I’m just lucky I guess

OldPyjama

Ah yes, the tile I fell for the XRP scam. Spent 100€ on it in the hopes for a moonshot but it necer happened. Sold with loss. Trued this with many alts back in my naive days. Only one made decent profit, which I swapped to BTC.m,but would have been better off just sticking to BTC only from the veginning. No more alts for me.

zepplina

Ahh yes you’re right, I think the sell off that triggers BTC to go below 97k will likely be a big (planned) news shock (worse than October 10th) hence why I think the price levels may not be super confluent. The main reason why I think they will hold slightly better but probably lower than I stated is because sol hasn’t hit ATH. this is supported by October 10th dump where XRP hit 1.7 (it’s April low) whereas solanas April low retest would have been 100 but it hit 143ish and ETH 3400 whereas 1400 is its April low. ETH is a special case due to it practically consolidating for years

I'm trading on Bitrue. There is a lot of liquidity, especially in the RLUSD/XRP pair.

>For all of the 50 users that got the XRP credit card. It’s basically a PR stunt wrapped as innovation, it not some company wide integration. Its also a pilot, no guaranteed rollout and it doesn’t make XRP itself more useful. You cant wrap your head about this apparently. Ive already said yes this is a pilot. I dont understand why you keep waving this like its some sort of victory flag for your failed argument? They are going WIDE with big players, everything starts somewhere. I'd normally say figure it out but I know you wont. >You mean buying adjacent fintech products to stay relevant while the core blockchain solution remains unused. lol "relevant" one of the largest fintech companies on the planet doesnt need to stay "relevant" they need to go WIDE with their solution because it all feeds into itself. You were here talking shit when it was 20 cents. its touched 3$ multiple times. I have no problem pointing out how silly you sound on repeat.

NotThe1stNoel

With XRP and ADA still in the top 10 I can confirm that nobody still cares about fundamentals.

Fyve0nit

My 2014 DOGE made profit... SURE it took eight years, some Elon tweets and mutiple rigs on this very site before that... My 2017 XRP bag made profit SURE it took 8 years of garlicbread pressure but it made profit You see what im getting at?

BlackjointnerD

Lol because i dont have cognitive dissonance? These arguments that ripple is only worth their XRP holdings and therefore is worthless because xrp is worthless and all the people who own xrp have been duped and lack agency requires fairly stunning amounts of that.

JustStopppingBye

>Its literally just another vertical in their payment stack for onboarding volume via RLUSD. For all of the 50 users that got the XRP credit card. It’s basically a PR stunt wrapped as innovation, it not some company-wide integration. Its also a pilot, no guaranteed rollout and it doesn’t make XRP itself more useful. >They went into Treasury, holdings, Lending, On and off ramps and many other payment verticals. You mean buying adjacent fintech products to stay relevant while the core blockchain solution remains unused.

Ilovekittens345

Ripple has always been in control of the price of XRP. Now with Trump the entire stock market is a free for all, you can break whatever law you want. You get in trouble? Suck up to him and make a nice bribe and boom, you are legal again! Hallelujah. Under such circumstances it can't be hard for ripple to also control their stock price. If they want the valuation to be 80 billion tomorrow, they can make that happen.

forsen_capybara

The same people crying about this are the ones that would call BTC a scam/ponzi in 2012. Ironic how the champions of decentralization shit on any coin with corporate/banking involvement all while praying for Govts and Corps to purchase BTC for their treasuries. Acknowledge that you dont know anything about BTC, XRP or any coin and just want to cheerlead the one you own to make money.

No_Leather_3676

I held a lot of alts from last cycle and bumped them up when it had gone down. A lot was XRP and that alone doubled my overall investments this cycle. Is it over now? Who knows…holding is t always a loss, unless you buy shitty meme coins

mickalawl

So the future is stable coins that maybe do and possibly dont hold the equivalent in USD? A derivative of USD is the future where we enable a new layer of fees in between Mastercard and the consumer by cutting in XRP into the mix to accomplish something we can already do? But now likely slower? Why?

ReDeaMer87

XRP is a scam for real

JustStopppingBye

Now the 50 customers with the XRP gemini credit card can use RLUSD to settle! Truly groundbreaking!

JustStopppingBye

I just want the XRP to acknowledge what this actually is and not over hype a pilot with a credit card program. Its not mastercard switching over to XRPL rails lol Lets make that very clear.

Busy-Statistician414

XRP , BTC, ETH. Thank me in 10 years

BDSMastercontrol

You dont want XRP to do well?

biba8163

To be fair, they've spent a few billion from dumping XRP to buy a bunch of companies. | Company | $$$ |:-----------|------------:| | Hidden Road | $1.2 Billion | GTreasury | $1 Billion | Metaco | $250 Million| | Rail | $200 Million| | Standard Custody | Undisclosed | Fortress Trust | Undisclosed Ripple Founder Jed McCaleb is also spending billions from dumping XRP to launch his own space station and has bought multiple companies in the industry. I am sure he is also very thankful to the XRP Army for their donations https://www.cnbc.com/2023/02/21/jed-mccalebs-vast-acquires-launcher.html How all this benefits the XRP Army? I am not sure.

From what I'm told, the Fibonocci levels to use most of the time would be .618 and then up from there. I'm pretty new to this and it'll be the first time I've tried doing this. Be easy on a guy Any advice for trying to determine where to start? Maybe using of the assets I'm invested in for an example would be great. I'm invested in BTC, XRP, ETH and HBAR *I am a bot, and this action was performed automatically.

XRP has nothing to do with RLUSD either. Just more bag holders getting shafted

$40 billion valuation for a company that does nothing except dump XRP.

Bought me some XRP

Budget_Eye5861

I sold 1/2 my stash Bought a 2026 vehicle Banked (2) years income \[nothing big $40,444.04/year or $777.77/week\] HODLing my other 1/2 coins \[100K XRP\] for a dip to $1.40 USD/XRP for a wash sale BUY back all the coins I sold and banked with a LOSS in taxes \- ready for 2029 - lol !FIRE!

There is a $500 Billion marketcap glass ceiling that Ultra-Sound Money bounces off so ETH investors should get really comfortable with $3K-4K ETH. ETH has shown zero ability for 4 years to break past that ceiling. This is similar to the $100 Billion marketcap glass ceiling that the Standard Fidget Spinner token bounces off. XRP has shown zero ability for 8 years to break past that ceiling. **Alts are a pump and dump asset class that can only provide good returns if you buy when they are down -70% to -90%; they are NOT appreciating assets that you hold for long term returns.** BTC is still a good diversifier that provides lower correlation to other traditional markets and continues to appreciate long term even after reaching $1 Trillion marketcap. The ONLY question an astute investor should be asking themsevles is, *"Is the risk/reward of BTC still worth it or should I leave crypto entirely?"* *Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) After reaching $1T, $500BB, and $100BB Marketcaps* | Asset | $1T Mktcap. | CAGR | |:-----------|------------:|:------------:| | BTC | 2/29/2021| 12.62% | **Asset** | **$500 Billion Mktcap.** | **CAGR** | | BTC | 12/28/2020| 31.65% | ETH | 10/28/2021| -6.02% | **Asset** | **$100 Billion Mktcap.** | **CAGR** | | BTC | 10/30/2017| 42% | ETH | 01/06/2018| 16% | BNB | 11/05/2021| 11.81% | XRP | 01/03/2018| -4.06% | SOL | 11/11/2024| -29.31%

Reminder, CAGR slows down after reaching higher marketcaps: - BTC has shown it can still appreciate even after reaching $1 Trillion marketcap. - ETH has shown zero ability to appreciate after reaching the $500 Billion marketcap ceiling - XRP has shown zero ability to appreicate after reaching the $100 Billion marketcap ceiling BTC is still a good diversifier that continues to appreciate and has lower correlation to other traditional markets. *Alts are a pump and dump asset class that can only provide good returns if you buy when they are down -70% to -90%; they are NOT appreciating assets that you hold for long term returns.* The ONLY question an astute investor should be asking themsevles is, *"Is the risk/reward of BTC still worth it or should I leave crypto entirely?"* *Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) After reaching $1T, $500BB, and $100BB Marketcaps* | Asset | $1T Mktcap. | CAGR | |:-----------|------------:|:------------:| | BTC | 2/29/2021| 12.62% | **Asset** | **$500 Billion Mktcap.** | **CAGR** | | BTC | 12/28/2020| 31.65% | ETH | 10/28/2021| -6.02% | **Asset** | **$100 Billion Mktcap.** | **CAGR** | | BTC | 10/30/2017| 42% | ETH | 01/06/2018| 16% | BNB | 11/05/2021| 11.81% | XRP | 01/03/2018| -4.06% | SOL | 11/11/2024| -29.31%

NotThe1stNoel

allocating 60% of your portfolio to alts is waiting for trouble. Most people keep 60-80% in BTC and then a 20% mix in alts (ETH, XRP, etc,). People don't diversify 50,50 at random, they diversify based on risk and probabilities.

CAGR slows down after reaching higher marketcaps. - BTC has shown it can still appreciate even after reaching $1 Trillion marketcap. - ETH has shown zero ability to appreciate after reaching the $500 Billion marketcap ceiling - XRP has shown zero ability to appreicate after reaching the $100 Billion marketcap ceiling - Gold has only a 6% CAGR since 1979 - Gold went down -60% over 20 years from 1980 to 2001 - Gold went down -40% over 7 years from 2011 to 2018 - Gold was flat for almost 30 years from 1934 to 1970 Gold has its moments, then does absolutely nothing for ages after Gold Production ramps up supply to meet the demand and high prices. **BTC is still a good diversifier that continues to appreciate and has lower correlation to other traditional markets.

DelagioBR

Depends on what you have in your portfolio... In MY opinion Bitcoin is the future for reserves, stable coins is the future (already happening) for transactions. 99.99% of the altcoins will die, sooner or later, including the beloved XRP which loads of people believe on.

BDSMastercontrol

They will sell to buy XRP

Just_Brief_7394

sinceramente creo que para diciembre XRP 3.60 y solana 320...

jesser9

Hmmmm 1 dollar XRP, 125 SOL

Godrayoae123

Not a fan of XRP, for me is not the best choice for the long run. Either way the point is, whatever you bought, hopefully you did your research. When I’m doubtful, very if anything change, most times is just noise to scare investors to sell their bags lower so you FOMO in back at higher prices. Personally I DCA into Bitcoin and Solana when prices are good for me and I can afford a buy a little bit. I plan for at least 5 to 10 years. When too much noise like this days I’ll check if the adoption is still happening, developing is going and so on. From the technical side and adoption all looks stronger than ever…. For me is just a great opportunity to buy a bit more lower. Think on 5 to 10 years time frames. It’s not how much you make in here, is how much you keep. Well this is what I learned this year. Still sleeping in the car waiting for those godly candles

Technical_Physics_57

I simply just quit DCAing into Chainlink. Holding what I have though because “fuck it”. Still DCA into BTC, ETH, and SOL as they are on their way down. Holding a decent amount of XRP as well which I would sell if it ever hits $3 again

ubermensch1001

There was a reply on here to me where the poster said that he had a target for ADA at 20 cents and under, ETH at 800 and XRP at 40 cents. However, he later replied saying that he recently sold half his stack within the last few days, basically saying that he doesn't want to wait a few years before new highs. When I read stuff like this it actually confirms what you and I are talking about. The last few weeks since that flash crash October 10th has/is probably one of the worst times you could have been selling over this cycle. There is a very high likelihood that what we've been seeing is the final flush out before a major move to the upside. What we've seen recently is a more extreme version of what we saw in the spring of 2025 and also the summer/fall of 2024. To add to this, these comments further strengthen my thesis that if we do in fact get into a euphoric phase the FOMO and panic buying will be wild. You basically have a bunch of people that were liquidated or panic sold recently who will ape back in at just about the worst time. It's the same old pattern, only this time I think it will be much more extreme.

GoatComprehensive592

XRP is what I call the “noob” coin, false hype and false narratives that suck the people who have no idea into crypto, XRP was the first coin I brought back in 2016-2017, when I had no idea, look at how all the other top 10 coins have performed over the years, then look at XRP, truly ugly stuff

Due-Candy-8929

It's so wild how people will hyper focus on what is happening to 1 coin, and miss that it is the entire market... All while XRP is still outperforming just about everything over the last year as well... A year ago (Nov 5 2024)... XRPs Open Price was $0.5032, High $0.5183, Low $0.502 and Close was $0.514.... in the meantime here we are at ... $2.21.... after the crypto market has already been through the LARGEST liquidation in HISTORY.... So many crypto news outlets will through BTC or XRP into titles to get clicks... even if it is literally just market wise news...

Due-Candy-8929

True - ironically XRP is still up just over 300% over the last year... BTC? 38% ETH? 27% ... But still see posts like this :')

Agreeable-Sleep-1589

If you made $40k and that amount of money will make a difference in your life then you can not be wrong taking the profit. I've been doing this a long time and all know is it's either going to do up or down. I wish I sold 3 weeks ago to help pay wedding/honeymoon /pay off truck/buy a special watch for myself but I didn't and I just don't believe that that was the top for crypto this run. I am betting in the next 3 months BTC/ETH/XRP will be right back to or near ATH.. The one thing this decline did do was cement that when that happens im taking out $50-75k and then I can sit on what's left For another cycle and keep adding.

Rent_South

Meanwhile XRP is down 33% on the 8 year chart. 🤡

Mamasgottawork

I want to sell all of mine. I keep thinking they’ll go back up again but haven’t. I’ve lost a lot of money on ZBCN and XRP! I should have quit while I was ahead. I have others which I’m happy to keep as there is not that much in.

scared_of_crypto

Dont post this in XRP else you going to get ban. Over there they prey on naive mortgage into XRP people.

Zealousideal_Rain_79

XRP reached those prices because of the BTC bull run. At that time, BTC dominance was 54%. For an altcoin season like in previous cycles, BTC dominance needs to drop below 50%, around 44% is usually the tipping point when everything goes parabolic. This cycle, we didn’t see that drop, so an altcoin season never happened.

ego157

> you think XRP will be at 20 cents theres probably enough corporate interest to keep it way above that. maybe $0.80.

nugymmer

Excuse me? How did XRP do a 500% increase if there was no alt season? How did SOL go so high? Why did ETH go from $2k to $4k. No alt season? WTF?!!!

ubermensch1001

So, you think XRP will be at 20 cents, ADA at under 10 cents and ETH a few hundred $?

LargeSnorlax

You don't even have to be an OG, you just have to not buy at the all time highs Even if you totally missed out on ETH you still could've 5xed on it in the last couple years, same with Bitcoin Same with BNB, SOL, XRP, even fucking TRX You buy when tears are coming from people's eyes and they're calling it a scam

Trap_House_Bath_Mat

12 months was just a broad time frame. I average around $900/ETH, so I'm still up. Only other alt I hold/didn't sell, is XRP and that already paid for itself last cycle. 

Shimrod42

Anyone with the slightest brain always accumulates. Whether the price is $1 $100 or $300 or whatever. I have been buying what I can afford monthly for 2 years+ now. Friends!: an economic paradigm shift won't happen until you're all 10 years older than today. We'll see then but try doing that and launch the TradingView app once a month or once a year. You can do it. Can afford 5 only this month? do it. Next month is only 3? Do it. It's XRP we are talking about for GS!

tldr; Bitcoin's price fell below $100,000 for the first time since May, marking a significant drop after reaching an all-time high of $126,000 in October. The cryptocurrency's value decreased by 6% in a day, 12% over the week, and 18% in a month. Other cryptocurrencies like Ethereum, XRP, Solana, and Dogecoin also experienced sharp declines. Liquidations totaled $1.3 billion in the past 24 hours, with Bitcoin leading at $470 million. This downturn follows mixed predictions about Bitcoin's trajectory. *This summary is auto generated by a bot and not meant to replace reading the original article. As always, DYOR.

No, desperation is when Brad sells XRP and donates it TWICE to Trumps admin, one for their inauguration and one for their ballroom construction.

> 8 years, imo, is not a good sample size to draw decent conclusions on patterns. After over a decade in crypto, it's mind boggling people still don't get that all these coins with special use cases, utility and narrative are just double speculative plays on Bitcoin. Bitcoin itself is a speculative asset as is Gold. But almost all of crypto has a 0.90+ correlation coefficient with BTC and follow BTC up and follow BTC down, completely restrained by BTC price movements with no independent value of their own. What is the point of doing all the research, writing out investment theses, doing analysis on the utlity, reading about the partnerships and all that bullshit? In the end, Alts can only go up if BTC goes up and the stars align for them that time around. Again, Alts have no independent value. If they had ANY independant value, every Alt bagholder wouldn't be waiting for Altseason for their Alt's only chance to appreciate.

tldr; Over $250 million in long positions were liquidated in the crypto market within an hour due to a sharp downturn, contributing to $1 billion in total liquidations over 24 hours. Bitcoin dropped nearly 5%, trading at $101,247, its lowest since June 23, with the broader crypto market declining by 4.5%. Major tokens like Ethereum, XRP, BNB, Solana, and Dogecoin also faced similar losses during the market pullback. *This summary is auto generated by a bot and not meant to replace reading the original article.

I sold all my VET, CSPR, and ALGO today after watching it slowly shit itself the past 3 months. ADA, XRP, and SOL are next.

Ajfox1974

Exactly. I think it’s going to fall a lot more than it has and I plan to DCA after it drops further rather than ride it down and lose more profit than I already have lost. I did the same thing with Sol, sold it at $196 and rebought at $120ish after it had dropped to $90. I figure the lower it goes the better, to an extent. I just sold 100% of everything (Btc, Eth, Sol, & XRP) for USDC. I didn’t get into crypto until March ‘24 and by the time I’d figured out which coins to focus on, they’d all pumped a lot, so I see this as an opportunity to lower my average cost.

Brad tweeting that must make it true! Hes right though, **t**hey’re spending billions buying up firms (custody, wallets, prime brokerage) because their original payments network and XRP use case never scaled the way they promised. So now Ripple is trying to reinvent itself as an “institutional infrastructure company” No one even pays node ods, so Ripple itself doesnt even support the network when they sell.

JustStopppingBye

Bullish for XRP.

Potential-Home2749

Do you follow any XRP news at all? XRP has huge potential, but it’s a slow burn. It’s not a get rich quick scheme

0piates

bro the whole market is in shambles it’s not just XRP.

Ajfox1974

I was only in bitcoin. Sol, eth, and XRP and I sold it all for USDC yesterday. I’m planning on buying it all back as it drops to new lows. It’s already dropped since I sold, each one. I’m planning on buying back XRP at 2.00, $1.75, 1.50, Sol at $150 and below, btc at $100, etc.

I’m surprised XRP isn’t down more it’s holding up good

tldr; The cryptocurrency market suffered a major crash, losing $270 billion in value within 24 hours, with Bitcoin, Ethereum, and XRP experiencing significant declines. The downturn was triggered by U.S. Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell's comments on interest rates, which dampened risk sentiment. A stronger U.S. dollar and increased derivatives activity, including a long squeeze, further exacerbated the sell-off. Altcoins like Solana and XRP saw steep drops, and traders are now focused on upcoming macroeconomic data for potential market impacts. *This summary is auto generated by a bot and not meant to replace reading the original article.

Hungry-Class9806

>This has placed pressure on leveraged positions, with major altcoins like Solana ([SOL](https://finbold.com/cryptocurrency/solana/)) and XRP experiencing 8% to 9% drops. In Solana’s case, the price fell below its 200-day exponential moving average (EMA), triggering liquidation events to the tune of $19 million. When will they learn?

Facedownfinsup

Interesting. I just read this entire thread and in my humble opinion, there are many coins worth something besides BTC and ETH. For example XRP is a utility coin. The world switching to XRP as a bridge token is like upgrading from a flip phone to iPhone…. It’s faster, does it better, looks/sounds cooler. Then there’s the many other projects I see doing well in the next 5-10years, as more and more people turn to Crypto. They’ll see the price of bitcoin and say noooo way, and go searching for a coin they believe in - I think we got in early. There are also crypto with major major players involvement - I think HBAR has Boeing, Microsoft, google, a bunch of others ? Don’t see that one failing due to the sheer volume of top companies invested. But it’s not going to moon overnight, either. It’s a long term hold. My take? Stack Bitcoin. But if you have a crypto you believe in (I have my eye on a few), stack those too. Diversify. Keep Bitcoin as your “savings account” and then have your moonshot coins that you could see going somewhere in 5-10 years. Soooo many people jumped into alts this season with rose coloured glasses expecting to get rich in a few months. I’ll admit, I was eyeing 10$ XRP this year. Instead they got the regular crypto market… highly volatile. Nothing certain. Add in Tariffs, Govt shutdowns, talks of civil wars? Of course investors are hesitant. But yeah I do believe price is being manipulated lower this cycle - it’s anyone’s guess as to the reason. My take is mega rich elites don’t own enough of it yet so they need to shake out retail investors before the dollar devalues and we go digital currency. In which case, it just may be stablecoins backed by Bitcoin, but there are still a lot of other useful Crypto’s with real world utility that have a place within that system (XRP, XLM…) It’s just been a bumpy ride to get the regulations for these assets but if you follow the company, it’s coming.

Mission-Talk-7439

I don’t see eth falling that far back… I do think they are getting ready to scuttle XRP…

TheRicFlairDrip

Brad tweeted last week that everything they are doing with these acquisitions has XRP at the core

Mooncrypto25

The boat has sailed on Bitcoin best to buy XRP instead

Internal_Second3643

XRP is a scam

ra246

Yes, but what I meant is that we hadn't had a blow-off top. There was none of this BTC to $200k, XRP to $10 like we've had in the past.

evandollardon

I’m selectively bullish. I’m not chasing every alt, but I still see value in a few that have real utility and long-term ecosystems behind them. Instead of trading in and out, I’ve shifted to a “hold, borrow, and earn” mindset. I maintain core positions like BNB and XRP in the long term and allocate idle assets to earn yield. If you check CoinMarketCap’s yield section, Nexo shows up near the top for savings products (now even #1). So that's why I chose it.

ra246

We were so close. We even hit the point at which I said I'd start selling bits (XRP at $3, ETH at $4800) but I didn't because sentiment felt fine. I wanted to be take profits and be out. Fuck this shit.

Bangin_Gears

Very interested in this. I have a huge chunk of large caps and they're just sitting. A few of them are staked. I'm earning jack, though. I parlayed a bet from BTC into XRP before the massive rise and now its my largest holding. I'm curious about the various XRP specific options for liquidity pools if anyone has a solution.

0mnipath

There was no way to tell shitcoins from not shitcoins. How exactly do you do that? And not all of them shitcoins. I put big amounts into DOT, ADA, MATIC, ALG which had the hype of good projects. All those projects are doing very poorly with their prices while SOL and XRP jumped heaps, for example.

LargeSnorlax

What's the point of looking back with 20/20 hindsight goggles? If I bought XRP or BTC in 2010 I'd be rich. If I bought more NVIDIA instead of CRSR I'd be more rich. If I didn't buy that altcoin that went to 0 I'd have more money. You can look at literally everything with these goggles and of course the best trades look good. You could've also bought a million stocks that went down too. Pointless to live your life thinking about *"What ifs"*. If you want, learn from that and put more money into stocks if you think that's the way to success. I've had a fantastic year in stocks too. My crypto's doing ok but this was largely a profit taking year. Bitcoin and alts already had huge runs in 2023/2024, money doesn't go up forever in an asset class. 2022-2023 sucked for stocks.

wobes11

Exactly, that’s how I made money. I bought CRO, XRP, XLM, years before the blow ups earlier this year. I sold some and moved into Bitcoin…I’ll be holding for 10-20 years.

tcookc

not that I know of...they still have LPs on tinyman and Pact and lending pools on Folks Finance, and their website says coming soon to XRP

JCSTR45

Can’t believe people are still leverage trading. I’m still buying XRP & ADA every paycheck. Been holding for 4 years what’s holding another 4.

yann1i

Xrp was trading for around 0.4 start of Trumps campaign for presidency when he won Cryptos pumped XRP then made its move to around $3.10-$3.40 you are just late XRP and XLM were amazing to buy in August in 2024

Next_Explanation_657

You bro's made my f'ing day. I have never seen such real empathy and compassion about any crypto loss ever, but a scam loss? you all are truly the best. This is awesome, take a gander at the r/XRP. Those aholes would be relentless if you wrote about crypto loss. A scam, you'd be ripped apart. This is wonderful. Thank you!!!

Gallus_11B

Lmfao no I didn't. When I sold before trump took office for example my xrp sell price was 3.15ish, the top was 3.40. When I bought back after the april tariff disaster I didn't time the exact bottom. For example it bottomed down in $1.90 but my average ended up being around $2.15. And after it rallied up at the end of the summer it still ran for a few weeks before it fizzled out at $3.65 but I had sold again around $3.20. I'm not a TA master. My strategy was 100% to expect Trump to nuke the market and to buy the rubble, and pull nice 30 - 50% gains without getting greedy. But it was a wayyyyyy better strategy than hoping XRP would roll to $100 in Q4 and hodling. Or waiting for etherium to hit 10k lmfao.

megaman0007

We are entering a bear market. This is the time between now and year end when everyone unloads their crypto into cash and we enter a 2 year down trend. There will be a good time to buy XRP in late 2027. Right now you want to have cash, or have your investments managed by Fidelity Go, or a similar program.

Klutzy_Sock2179

i just sold all my XRP buy bitcoin

Cesare5747

XRP will pump 25% on November 16th

Nice_Assumption_6396

Are you sure November 16th? What about November 17th? You clearly seem very experienced please give us your XRP price forecast. What will happen on November 16th that I should look forward too?

-crypto2025hold-

Lots of good things said about Ripple XRP and everyone thinks it will be the new money for the world but banks are building their own crypto rails and may not be using XRP. Although maybe banks will use it. In my opinion Ripple labs will become their own bank and use XRP as a competitor to traditional banks.

Moto_Musashi

BTC would be smart. But diversifying into metals and land would be smart as well. XRP is a long shot and kind of against why crypto was invented in the first place.

Cesare5747

November 16th XRP 🚀🚀🌕

RAT-Z98

its kinda sad how schizo attached to your bags XRP baggies are. truly a cult

Lehcen

All my bitcoin I acquired is from shitcoins. Shout out to Shiba Inu, XRP, HBAR etc. still holding some waiting for an unlikely Alt coin bull market to offload the rest.

thisAnonymousguy

can’t wait to sell all my XRP honestly

Major-Rabbit1252

I like how you blame crypto for your financial ruin and not yourself. No one should be investing money that they don’t have You also are unlikely with timing and also severely impatient. If you bought BTC/ETH a couple years ago then you’d be doing backflips right now. You either bought shitty alts or bought the blue chips near ATH This also isn’t the place to “trade” or go long/short. Just DCA into coins attached to tech/use in the new financial system and then hold I have some BTC for the scarcity, but am primarily invested in ETH, SOL, LINK, ADA, XRP. Are all going to hit and 100x? No. Investing is a risk. With that said, these are all coins that can be players in the future of finance.
