XRP: It Won’t Make You Rich (Sorry)

by

So, this guy, Jake Claver – apparently a “crypto pundit,” which sounds like a competitive eating champion for blockchain – is going around telling people that simply owning XRP isn’t enough to escape the crushing weight of late-stage capitalism. 🙄 I mean, I get it. I once thought owning a really nice spatula would solve all my problems. It didn’t.

Why Emotional Trading Stops XRP From Changing Your Life

Claver’s big idea? Turns out, randomly hoping for a number to go up isn’t a strategy. Shocking, I know. He says people are messing things up by not having an exit plan. Like, when are you getting off the ride? Apparently, just…riding it until you feel like it? That’s not how any of this works. It’s the financial equivalent of waiting for a perfectly ripe avocado. You’ll miss your window.

The market, Claver points out, moves faster than I can find matching socks. When the price either zooms or crashes (and it always does one of those), apparently our brains short-circuit and we end up making decisions based on…feelings. Feelings! As if anyone’s ever made a good financial decision based on feelings. (Looking at you, impulse purchase of a decorative gourd.) It’s a real lose-lose. You either sell when you probably shouldn’t, or you hold on like a toddler clinging to a balloon. 🎈

He illustrates with this tale of two XRP holders. One has a plan, like a normal adult. The other just…vibes with the chart. And who do you think does better? Hint: it’s not the one who’s consulting their inner psychic. It’s all about preparation, apparently. Who knew?

And all that staring at charts? He says it’s just…noise. It’s like watching static and thinking you’re going to receive a divine message. You’re not. You’re just getting more stressed. It’s giving me anxiety just thinking about it. 😬

How To Capture Crypto’s Biggest Opportunities

According to Claver, actually getting anywhere with crypto requires being…proactive. Like, setting goals and sticking to them. It’s unbelievably boring. He suggests things like “profit targets” and “risk limits.” I prefer to just fully commit to chaos, but to each their own. 🤷

These XRP opportunities, he stresses, are fleeting! It’s a tiny window, a little crack of possibility. Miss it, and you’re left feeling like you watched a really good sale end while you were in the checkout line. And it’s not the market’s fault! It’s because you didn’t know what you wanted to begin with.

So basically, XRP isn’t a magic beanstalk. It won’t magically transform your finances if you’re still a mess. It just…reflects your mess. If you’re organized, disciplined, and have a vague idea of what you’re doing, maybe, just maybe, it’ll help. If not? Well, enjoy the ride, I guess. Just don’t blame the XRP. 🤷‍♀️
