  • From HaraldoXRP:

    $XRP – $0.295 is one of the most tested levels in the XRP chart on both sides. We spent 6 months trying to break out of it in 2017, 12 months trying to defend it in 2019. The breakout cycle clearly starts again, wont be 6 months this time x

  • From sentosumosaba:

    World of cross-border payments is HUGE & doesn’t revolve around the US. I’m not in the least bit pessimistic. Being told the digital dollar or US CBDC is a game changer for #XRP is misguided Q: Where did that narrative come from? I’m looking at reality and the reality is bright.

  • From XRPeuphoria_:

    @X__Anderson I know a guy on here who celebrated buying 10 xrp at a time. His goal was to get to 1,000. I helped the dude out on the last leg of his accumulation because I really respected his ambition to reach his goal. People do what they can, I give props to anyone investing…period
