- XRP holders are still waiting for their "digital gold" moment while BTC and ETH quietly bought orbital real estate. The thesis is simple: XRP failed to make you rich because it’s less of a revolution and more of a bureaucratic relay race with high fees. While moonboys scream about utility, the market laughs at your meat wallet balance. It’s not a scam, just aggressive passive disappointment. Stop treating legacy rails like rocket ships. If you want gains, look where the liquidity actually flows, not where the regulators sleep. Your portfolio isn’t broken; your expectations are just unsealed cargo.
