It's good to remember that no matter what we are facing in our personal lives, the difficult times & struggles are opportunities to heal, to gain wisdom, to grow & expand mentally, emotionally & spiritually, & ultimately to heal.

@WhatSayLew @StevenBartlett @TheWiggles What does your 50 into 500k portfolio for crypto look like now? Last I remember it was something like TRAC ONDO LINK TAO RENDER

I’ll know I’ve made it when two things happen: 1. @StevenBartlett invites me on to DOAC 2. @TheWiggles invite me to do a song So what do I need to accomplish to get there? 🤣

@EleanorGirl08 Unfortunately she's right. It's a great token for what it does, but as an investment to buy and hold expecting price go up, not so much. It's literally a bridge token, value passes through it. It's not a store of value despite its utility.

I have xrp. I love the project. But after doing more research, I can say I was wrong. Don’t get me wrong I wasn’t wrong about the project, I was wrong about how far in price it would go. I was thinking “1,000, or hundreds” The reality is, it may not even reach that. Most likely what it will go to is $25-$50 in reality. Even the $15-$20 range would be good

@WhatSayLew @zeussubnet 🤦

Just tried to run a small weather prediction test using @zeussubnet — literally just wanted to paper trade against Polymarket weather markets Burned 1 TAO (~$400) on subnet registration before finding out you need ~2,886 TAO staked to even query miners $400 just to discover the barrier to entry 💀 Ørpheus if you're reading this, please ship a public API

@mrcauliman XRP is a BRIDGE it moves value. Value doesn't park in XRP. It will never be worth thousands, it's not designed to be expensive and a store of value token. It's fast cheap and recycled.

$XRP to 10k!! Now that I have your attention. It’s not hitting that tomorrow. $XRP is a payment rail. It moves value. It settles fast. It handles liquidity. Price follows usage. Not fantasies. Most of you don’t understand what you hold. Learn the rail or stay confused.

@cryptokylonews We all hope it happens! Regardless of some shadowy elites, what would have to happen for 60billion or 100billion tokens to become worth 10k usd each? Where would the money come from? That's more money than in most segments of finance and all the stock market etc

“XRP could never reach $10,000 because the elites wouldn’t let people become millionaires that easily.” - 90% of people will sell it all at $10. - Another 9% at $100. - 0.9% at $1,000 Only 0.1% will ever make it to a 10K $XRP.

@WhatSayLew @SiamKidd Man… and I thought I had this whole thing figured out. One of the most valuable things I’ve learned in crypto is humility + adaptability. When reality doesn’t match your thesis, don’t double down out of ego..take the loss, adjust, and keep moving. Your future self will thank u.

He put 100% of everything he owns into Bittensor. Then borrowed more to buy even more. So when he looked at my Bittensor portfolio and said "that's not going to do it" — I listened. Full interview with @SiamKidd

@Steph_iscrypto RENDER

Be honest, are you still buying $XRP?

@crypto_queen_x Unfortunately it's not. And not likely ever. $0.50-$3 or $4 over the next couple years. $100 would mean XRP is failing as a cheap fast bridge asset. Now many actual users of XRP just use XRPL without touching XRP.

DEEP DOWN YOU ALL KNOW $XRP IS HITTING $589 THIS YEAR

@ghostweb3 The more XRP gets used for fast, frequent cross-border/settlement flows (which is the whole pitch), the lower the needed price per token to handle huge daily volume. You don't need $100/XRP to bridge trillions if tokens turn over dozens or hundreds of times per day.

Wait… do people really believe $XRP isn’t going to $100+ after 8+ years of consolidation, 7 Spot ETFs, real utility with cross-border payments, velocity-driven price math, post-SEC institutional green lights to tokenize trillions, and a history of delivering “impossible” returns? Lol…

@ghostweb3 I'll bet you $1k XRP never is $100 per token. If it wasn't for the XRP Army it would likely be $0.50. People are finally waking up and realizing it's a bridge asset with 100b tokens not a scarcity play. Keep stacking XRP while we make profits from tokens with value capture design

@E2SmoothR6 @vandell33 XRP is one of the most mature tokens, it's as old as bitcoin. If it were meant to be worth hundreds or thousands per token it would have been by now. All the utility, ripple progress, yet it handles it's job at $1. It's not meant to be expensive. Cheap and fast reuse.

@vandell33 so then when should i buy vandell

Many investors wanted more time to accumulate XRP as it climbed toward $3.50. Now that it’s trading at a discount, sentiment has flipped bearish. That’s the psychology that keeps most people from capturing the real move.

@vandell33 Look, XRP just dropped ~60% from ~$3.50 to $1.40 and people are acting surprised or devastated. This is exactly how the asset behaves, it's a high-velocity bridge token for ODL, not a scarcity play.

@vandell33 Banks and institutions buy it, use it for instant settlement, then sell it right away. There's no staking, meaningful burns, or long-term locking to create real upward pressure from utility alone.

@vandell33 This isn't bashing XRP; the tech and Ripple's progress are impressive. But it's not built to 'moon' like low-supply, deflationary tokens. Investor psychology flips from euphoria at highs to despair at discounts — that's the real pattern here, not the price itself.

@vandell33 If you're in it for utility or long-term adoption, fine. If you're in it hoping for life-changing multiples from here, you might want to re-evaluate why you're holding a mature, high-circulation bridge asset.

@Real_JackJ @vandell33 What will you do if XRP dips down to 50 cents or a dollar? And what if it only ever goes as high as $3, $5, or $14? It's 100b tokens, they are bought used and resold instantly, that's how ODL works. They aren't bought then staked or burned. It's not meant for price go up sadly

@vandell33 I made one of my largest XRP buys at 2.92. It wasn’t my favorite but now I’ve been able to dca that back down to these levels here. It’s all relative to me anymore. I buy when I can if I can get a better hit rate, great. If not, great.

@MasonVersluis Banks don’t hold XRP it’s a volatile asset and the current regulations actually penalize them if they hold it it’s bought used for a transaction occasionally and then re-sold instantly that’s not the mechanics for a token to go up in value. ODL liquidity means On Demand.

$XRP has changed for the WORSE? Or is it actually better?!

@Poco_Simon @MasonVersluis Or buy tokens that are scarce, have meaningful burns, are staked, buybacks...anything that is deflationary. Not holding a token with 100b supply and constant releases and sell pressure. XRP is a mature token if it was gonna skyrocket in value, it would have a long time ago.

@MasonVersluis Please get educated on what's happening with XRP XLM XDC and all of them and hang on and do not sell ever until they determine what the price is going to be and they can can't make you cash it in everything you own as far as crypto cash ETFs LLCs not stocks have been mirrored

@the5blairs @MasonVersluis Keep holding! It will crash to $1.00 and then might rocket up to $3 or even $5. it’s actually one of the worst tokens to invest in same with XLM, they’re not designed to go up in value theyre a bridge asset. Do your research. Real research.

@MasonVersluis This is called a maturing market. XRP's price will eventually be settled in the derivatives market where other commodities are settled. It's actually a really good thing. Retail has had plenty of time to accumulate at ridiculously low prices and that time is coming to an end.

@Hutchmyster @MasonVersluis What does "utility kicks in" even mean? The token has been around as long as bitcoin. it has more utility than countless other tokens. Utility does not equal price appreciation. It’s a cheap high speed bridge asset that’s recycled all day long. Not locked away. Not scarce.

@MasonVersluis Your living under a rock bud. It will moon when utility kicks in. XRP is an hoddling asset not trading asset.
