Crypto Expert Warns: Dumping XRP Now Is Like Selling Apple Stock Before the iPhone Boom
XRP holders are facing a make-or-break moment—and one analyst says panic-selling now could be the financial blunder of the decade.
The 'iPhone moment' parallel
Just as Apple skeptics bailed before the smartphone revolution, crypto traders dumping XRP might miss the mother of all comebacks. The digital asset—long overshadowed by legal battles—is showing eerie similarities to pre-2017 Bitcoin.
Why the smart money's holding
Institutional wallets are accumulating, Ripple's settling lawsuits left and right, and the cross-border payment use case just got real. Meanwhile, retail traders are paper-handing their bags to chase the latest meme coin—classic 'weak hands' behavior.
The bottom line
This isn't financial advice (because your broker would charge 2% to tell you the same thing), but history favors those who hold through the noise. The only question is: Will you be the early Apple investor...or the guy who sold Amazon in 2001 to buy Beanie Babies?

Will XRP Follow the Same Path?
Now, XRP influencers increasingly believe that XRP is in a similar “pre-launchpad” phase. Interestingly, if XRP were to follow a trajectory similar to Apple stock after the iPhone, the hypothetical price surge could send XRP from $3 to $260.
Many analysts have already teased such price predictions, with some issuing even more ambitious targets.
Some observers, like Amonyx, have boldly claimed that XRP will create more millionaires than Bitcoin. This perspective rests on the belief that XRP could one day surpass $10,000, delivering returns comparable to those enjoyed by early Bitcoin investors or long-term Apple shareholders.
Several factors are fueling this perspective, including the imminent approval of multiple XRP ETFs, the possibility of XRP playing a role in a future U.S. digital asset reserve, corporate firms adopting XRP as a treasury asset (similar to MicroStrategy’s Bitcoin strategy), and the resolution of Ripple’s lawsuit.
The crypto community has already seen how ETFs and corporate investments have significantly influenced prices. In parallel, the XRP Army is hopeful that a similar pattern could play out with their favored coin.
