  • From DefendDark:

    #XRP will not stop at $2.3. That is the 4H EW pattern expected end. In weekly EWs we are still on Wave 1. EW2 will be a correction probably next week. End then our famous (in general longest) Elliott Wave 3 will start in June, conforms w/my other charts wherein all, XRP was ATH+

  • From Crypto_Knight33:

    The two underdogs of #crypto are $ADA and $XRP; both amazing ideas, $XRP bridges the gap between old world finance and #DeFi. But unlike $ADA, $XRP is a crypto imposter, because in actuality its centralized. $ADA is closer to the heart of #DeFi. Who can say? As of now $ADA leads.

  • From joker_xrp:
