Probably better to have that stash you forgot about on usb.
There would be those stories around.
And some people have religiously held since fairly early on i think.

I suspect there are more who either lost the drive, or forgot the pass, than those that are now worth hundreds of millions, but actually enjoy having nothing.
Market looking very volatile today. Bitcoin plummeting and the rest of the market is following as per usual. Hopefully not the end 
XRP with another climb overnight.
Over $4.20 at the moment

It’s down 0.78 percent… still less than 0.1 million.
Went down like 4K, keeps getting rejected near $100k.
The XRP hype is wild. Even Litecoin is peaking. Is everyone just rebuying what they had in 2017?

If that’s the case, I expect it to give back it’s recent gains pretty quickly.
Just like ETH did when their ETF was filed / announced in May. It lost half it’s value in the drop. It’s only now returning to its price back then (seven months on).
Sometimes, it’s better off to stay out of the market, than join one so late in its move. Would have much preferred to be in BTC across that time period than ETH.
Food for thought with what’s coming up and what to expect for XRP.
I think you will find there is a lot more to the ETH rise and XRP suppression, and IMO the tables are turning for the right reasons.
Just look at the partnerships that were already happening when the case against Ripple (XRP) were dropped
and who was heading the charge to squash Ripple (XRP) , Jay Clayton (Head of SEC at the time), to push the Eth narrative.
Not trying to suggest that the Government would push a narrative to gain independent financial gains cough cough
It stinks of corruption and quite a valid reasoning that the former Government was trying to stop Ripple (XRP)
Anyway this has been the story for years and in fact a doc is being released

I’m sure there are plenty of coins with great use and intentions.
But it doesn’t make them successful as a crypto investment.
Heck, PEPE is a meme coin that does absolutely nothing functional and had better returns this year than XRP. And if I had to gamble on it, I’d back PEPE to have better returns this cycle.
Across time (years) BTC is the only reliable coin that acts closer towards a normal share.
It has its dips but creates higher lows and then breaks through previous tops.
All other coins act in a similar theme, but the lows are far deeper. The highs are far reaching. A good majority of coins continue on their lows and struggle to outpace BTC.
I’m sure XRP will be good during the next six months and have some strong returns. With a lot of dips in between. So will other coins. It’s the time of the cycle when the odds are stacked in its favour to perform well if you get your timing right. As soon as the cycle ends, people will be left holding on to whatever ALT coins they have and either sell or wait another 2 to 3 years before seeing them base out and start recovering. All the while BTC based out well before that point and already started it’s recovery.
Based on the 2020 cycle, XRP all time high prior to New Year was late November. From that all time high to the April 2021 all time high, it gained 151%. Great return. I’d be happy with that.
Same time period for BTC (November to April) was a 225% gain.
BTC wasn’t as volatile, XRP had two major drawdowns (80% and 50%) that would have been difficult to hold through.
Compare the same time period to Solana. Solana was up 1891%. Again with no major draw downs along the way. It was new and had the odds stacked for them if you get the timing right.
If Solana is to outpace BTC, then next six months is its best opportunity. It should, but it may not across a greater period of time (months), I think it will outpace XRP though. With less drawdowns along the way. Time will tell.
We can come back in April / May or October / November and measure the gains then and assess which ones were better and easier to hold through the drops / corrections.
There may be one or two coins that thread the needle and perform well after the cycle is over and BTC hasn’t reached an all time highs for a month (whatever metric you wish to use for the end of cycle), but a high majority are going the same direction as BTC. That’s regardless of what they do or what benefit they have for their communities, etc.
That’s a time you don’t want to be holding crypto coins other than BTC. And even that is pretty risky depending on which 3/4/5 year cycle you entered in on.
I won’t get into SEC regulations and Trump stuff. I really don’t care. The price chart will do the talking and provide the results. Which is all I really have an interest in. Not the narratives.

Massive run on HBAR
Overtook my XRP account today
I ■■■■■■■ hope so (on Solana). It’s pretty much the only coin in the top 100 which has stagnated, which I find very strange. Very annoying as most of my bag is on Solana and I put a nice Long on a few weeks ago.
I feel like i’m missing out with everyone else having some huge days. I really shouldn’t get attached to my coins.
Just a bit of fun for me.
Maybe it’ll all be worthless in a few years time.

Xrp whale fight going on right now
People said the same in 2017 and 2021 
lol.
No, really.
I ‘invested’ $250 years and years ago.
That went up to maybe $350, and then it crashed to $28 and I forgot about it.
Now it’s about $800 and I’m a little annoyed that it’s become that from a base of $28 (ie: wrong time).
But just a bit of fun.
