XRP, what is holding you back?

XRP - The never-mooner -
An XRP pump/spike is imminent. Okay, but what is stopping it from touching the 4 USD mark?
The ATH has been around 3.84 USD in 2018 I suppose till date. The SEC issues got resolved last year, what is the hold up? Why does it always slide back?

XRP $2.07 price which is alot below the all time high of 3.8 that XRP ever did, what we must understand about XRP is that despite the legal clarity we shouldn't expect the price to just pick like that since price only increases with demands and for now there have not been much instructional investor buying into XRP despite the recent legal status and regulatory approval there have not been any progress yet and that can take time, this could be the reason why XRP will take a while before making the $4 as you speculate.

Isn't XRP completely premined? XRP price can be (and most probably is) heavily manipulated, so you should not expect to have there are proper market.
XRP is (amongst many others) great for moving fast some value from one exchange to another, but imho it's not a good coin for investments.
But maybe it's just me.

XRP is an old platform, it is quite suitable for trading but not suitable for long-term holding. Because sometimes it gets involved in legal troubles but XRP coin is free from legal troubles, but at present despite being free from legal troubles, big whale investors bought large quantities of XRP coins, as a result of which there was no major upward trend in the price in the market. However, when sugar investors accept XRP coin, there will be a big price difference.

It has already pumped.

Just look at how it moved last year and that will make you think if it will still have some space to pump for this year. But I guess that there is no more for it to reach $4.

It has went back to its former ATH of $3 and that should be enough for the holders of it who waited for so many years.

Probably just a break even for the majority of it and even with so much good news from within, I don't think that it will pump again especially for this year which is likely bearish.

Explain me why should it have value at all? It's snake oil and lies. And it's an opposite of what Bitcoin wanted to achieve, so it will never have support of same community. In fact it has probably opposite effect.

And before you give me "bhut the bhaanks are adopting it!... No they are not. Some industries just like to test several pilot programs with cryptos because they want to learn if they can benefit from them. I haven't seen any of them really paying off to anyone. I haven't seen them doing anything innovative. In fact it just seems to be duct tape fixes for regulations, as they didn't bother to start by asking what do every participant, regulators, institutions, corporations and crypto-users need and want.

Only reason for it having any foothold is that they started early, gathered money, and they actually had a purpose early days as a first fast and cheap crypto with enough liquidity between exchanges. But there are WAY better options for that these days.

Routine sell off from founder, selling pressure from long time holder who become impatient and the fact that there is canton network, a new blockchain that's what XRP supposed to be, basically a blockchain tailored for institutional and partnership with NASDAQ and so on.

All these are what I think the valid reasons as to why XRP is still stagnating.
