XRP. The only crypto to have won in an SEC Lawsuit - Ever.
One might realize that all the hype around XRP has been directly a result of their astonishing win. Good for everyone holding XRP. Even I made 40% in one sitting right off of Xrp. I fully encourage previous holders to keep their bag in Xrp - I personally sold at 0.8$ and have no regrets as there really is nothing to regret haha.
XRP only reached height of 0.81-0.83 at its peak rally, I’d say I got out at a really good price.
Upon delving deeper into the XRP chain - I realized that the blockchain really wasn’t that good. It was overhyped due to a win in court and has a dying ecosystem with an extremely difficult to learn (newbie unfriendly) coding system which disincentivizes possible projects coming into the chain. The worst thing is, it’s unfriendly out of laziness and not necessity. I wouldn’t be surprised if there were a decent retention problem with new XRP users…and it seems like there is.
I personally believe that XRP will not be worth the hype. The hype is temporary and won’t last. I base this deduce off of facts like how they’re using ads to create extra hype.
This shows me that ripple/XRP can’t obtain organic users without ads. Or atleast they’re trying to get new users who can bring in organic traffic. BUT likely are experiencing bad retention rates and bad click through rates.
If I can see these ads, they’re probably spending million of dollars a week just constantly paying for ads.
While this is obviously good for business and the token price, it shows me a glimpse of what could possibly be going on behind the curtains - A token without a loyal community.
Everyone in XRP is here for the money.
Let’s take a look at recent Xrp site statistics.
Well..looks like I was wrong. They aren’t spending millions of dollars to market Xrp. It looks like they’re spending tens of thousands…? Wall Street ads aren’t as expensive as people would expect them to be.. especially if they’re in subways..
XRP might just be more broke than expected.
let’s compare the above XRP statistics to ethereum:
Seems as if ethereum is a ton bigger than Xrp…and they are - without ads. I suppose the point I’m getting at here is why on earth would ripple be spending so much money on ads if it doesn’t achieve much of a result? If I can pay 1500$ for over 100,000 clicks onto a website, why on earth aren’t the people at XRP doing that? Why are they stuck at 250k web-visits with their excessive use of ads? It just doesn’t add up.
Let’s now analyze a few projects on the Xrp chain.
First game I found:
135,000 visits is pretty darn good, don’t get me wrong, but a project of this size wouldn’t really compare to a project with the same momentum, on, for example, the ethereum blockchain.
also, keep In mind that they’re down 50% in pageviews this month:
Let’s take a look at a project on the ethereum chain of the same idea.
Keep in mind, they used to be at 500k page visits. 
It’s pretty interesting if you ask me. Almost as if leveraged opportunities exist. Alex Hormozi actually once said that the vehicle you’re in matters more than your skillset. You can possess the skillset of davinci or Albert Einstein, but if you’re working a job in an oil factory, you’re not going to be making much money. These two projects are in entirely different atmospheres. XRP has a much smaller audience when compared to Ethereum and of course, it makes a ton of sense. Their market caps portray the whole story.
Here’s a break from all this analysis. A general overview on the world of crypto.
Anyhow, XRP is actually quite well versed when it comes up to allowing new projects to flourish. There are a few ideal projects that come to mind such as:
A ton of solid projects. Everything is cool. As discussed previously, projects are more difficult to create on XRP, but that assumes you create your own token - which many of these projects have not. They rely on advertisements and page views. Everything relies on adverts nowadays - even memecoins. They’re pumped and dumped based off of how viral they are.
That seems to be how the crypto world works.
