‘Holding XRP Is Not For Weak,’ Experts Argue, Highlighting Test of Strength and Belief

Prominent figures within the XRP community highlight the need for perseverance and careful risk tolerance evaluation while holding XRP.

Brett Hill, an ardent U.K.-based XRP supporter, took to Twitter to emphasize that holding XRP is not for the weak-hearted, as the digital asset continues to face tests and trials that can make many crumble under pressure.

In his tweet, Hill urged XRP holders to stay persistent, save diligently, and hold on tight, stressing the need for unwavering belief in the face of adversity.

Not for the weak, #XRP. They will put you to the test until the majority of you crumble! The key to winning is to stay persistent, keep saving, and hold on for dear life! They will continue to test you until you are unable to. Not for the WEAK HEARTED, please. This is not…

Varied Sentiments

Johnathan Wilbur, the owner of XRPlumbing, echoed Hill’s sentiment, highlighting that success often comes after enduring numerous failures and making difficult decisions with perseverance in the journey toward wealth accumulation.

However, not everyone shares the same level of conviction. Another commenter cautioned against succumbing to unnecessary fear of missing out (FOMO) and advised understanding the difference between short-term gains and long-term resilience. 

The Twitter user cited XRP’s performance over the past five years, noting that it failed to meet expectations during the previous bull run and subsequent years, raising doubts about its worthiness as a high-risk investment.

Anxiety Among XRP Holders

Notably, these discussions build upon a post from Edward Farina, XRPHealthcare Social Adoption leader, who highlighted the challenges associated with holding XRP, as The Crypto Basic recently captured in a report.

Farina spotlighted the challenges weighing down XRP enthusiasts and investors, including the prevalence of fear, uncertainty, doubt (FUD), and delistings from exchanges due to the lawsuit with the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). 

He argued that these challenges take a toll on the peace of mind of XRP investors.

“… plenty of people are losing their sleep,” Farina remarked. 

However, Farina noted that despite these difficulties, he remains resolute in his decision to hold XRP, recognizing that it is not an asset meant for everyone.

The varying perspectives within the XRP community shed light on the complexities associated with holding the digital asset. It also underscores the need for crypto investors to assess their risk tolerance and belief in XRP’s long-term potential before making investment decisions.
