Leading voices in the XRP community are pushing back against the persistent complaints about XRP’s supposed lack of price movement. In a tweet, crypto researcher Anderson expressed frustration with investors complaining about XRP’s price action. At the time of the post, XRP’s 24-hour performance was bearish, dipping to exactly $3 before bulls rescued it from breaching this psychological level. Wednesday’s fall added to the frustration of those already complaining about the coin’s stalled bullish momentum since it touched $3.66 two weeks ago. Amid the dip, some traders disclosed new short positions on XRP, dampening hopes for an imminent price recovery. Reacting to the post, other community members attempted to explain typical frustrations about XRP’s price action. Some pointed out that the complaints come from comparing XRP to other trendy assets like Bitcoin and Ethereum, which dominate headlines. However, a close comparison over a five-year scale shows XRP leads these assets in return on investment. Meanwhile, commentators like King Karan suggested that those complaining about XRP now may be investors who bought around $2 and haven’t secured life-changing gains like those who bought much lower at $0.5. XRP Investors Frustrated Due to Too Much Moon Hype Meanwhile, X user Theophilus pinned the blame on the XRP community itself. He pointed out that those frustrated with their investment listened to influencers claiming that millionaires would be made in XRP during this bull run. He stressed that such expectations lead to disappointments, warning market participants against listening to influencers who inflate hopes unrealistically. X user Sasha Banichek agreed that many bought on “hopium,” adding that he is even one of them. Indeed, wild XRP price predictions are a common theme in the crypto sphere, with many overlooking potential technical limitations for such price points. For instance, Jake Claver, Director of Digital Ascension Group, has predicted XRP could surge as high as $2,000 within seven months. He maintains this outlook despite the fact that XRP would need to grow over 65,000% from its current level, resulting in a market cap of $118 trillion. In July 2023, Shannon Thorp predicted that XRP’s price would soar to $100 to $500 within seven months. However, the timeline elapsed, and XRP’s price even dipped below the level it was before the ambitious forecast. Meanwhile, Thorp later owned up to her mistake after the forecasts failed.
