I've said hundred of times, if you bought XRP and are looking at the price constantly, instead of actual working plan progress, you invested blindly.
Research.
It doesn't matter if it's 2nd, 3rd, 1000th or even before 1st place xD
It needs to keep progressing, keep spreading the "network", increasing users, etc.
Along with regulation that will hit countries sooner or later, if they continue like so far, the plan is working.
At some point, it'll be logical for all their users to use XRP as well, not just their network, which in turn will increase demand (and most likely the price).
Been hodling for almost 2 years, wouldn't be surprised if I need to wait few more for my targets. (I invested a forgetable amount, so it's easy to hodl even for 20+ years).
If you're not ready to do that, you either haven't read about it enough and don't understand or you're too greedy for investing in general.
Most likely, both
That said, we should wait for regulation to hit most of the countries. Then we'll see a more clear crypto market picture, IMHO.
