An XRP supporter and community member, identified as “MackAttackXRP” on X (formerly Twitter), has shared a post <a href="https://x.com/mackattackxrp/status/1755998321921962361?s=46" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">expressing</a> his frustrations and rising apprehensions over the <a href="https://bitcoinist.com/crypto-expert-xrp-price-suppressed/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">stagnant condition of XRP’s price</a>.

 I think it is high time to do something about the XRP price quickly. Here’s a sincere warning to <a href="https://twitter.com/bgarlinghouse?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">@bgarlinghouse</a> <a href="https://twitter.com/Ripple?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">@Ripple</a> &amp; <a href="https://twitter.com/XRPLLabs?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">@XRPLLabs</a> <a href="https://twitter.com/JoelKatz?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">@JoelKatz</a> because the community is starting to get restless.

Once a prominent player in the space, XRP held a significant position among the best-performing<a href="https://bitcoinist.com/xrp-best-top-10-crypto-november/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow"> assets</a> in the cryptocurrency space, trailing behind leading cryptocurrencies such as Bitcoin and Ethereum. However, the cryptocurrency is currently grappling with <a href="https://www.newsbtc.com/analysis/xrp/xrp-price-20-decline/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">subdued market performance</a>, struggling to match the pace set by trends within the broader crypto market.&nbsp;
Since 2019, the cryptocurrency witnessed massive declines in both its price and overall trading volume. Furthermore, after the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) <a href="https://www.newsbtc.com/xrp-news/xrp-lawsuit-news-updates-schedule-price-predictions/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">filed a lawsuit against Ripple</a>, XRP experienced further declines as investor sentiment dropped and the <a href="https://www.newsbtc.com/analysis/xrp/coinbase-delisting-sparks-xrp-plunge-analyst-forecasts-decline-to-0-10/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">token’s reputation </a>took a major hit.&nbsp;
Despite having the full <a href="https://bitcoinist.com/bitcoin-xrp-centralization/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">support</a> of its extensive community and finally gaining legal clarity after achieving a <a href="https://bitcoinist.com/ripple-judge-deems-xrp-sale-non-investment-contract/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">partial victory</a> against the SEC, the cryptocurrency has been unable to make any noteworthy recovery. According to CoinMarketCap, the price of XRP at the time of writing is $0.52, a significant contrast from it’s all-time high of $3.84 in January 2018.&nbsp;
In response to the lingering <a href="https://www.newsbtc.com/xrp-news/exploit-causes-xrp-price-crash-ripple-co-founder-discloses-losses-of-113-million/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">price decline</a>, Mack has taken a proactive stance, issuing a “sincere warning” to Ripple’s key figures – Chief Executive Officer (CEO), <a href="https://www.newsbtc.com/news/ripple/ripple-ceo-declares-intent-to-bring-xrp-battle-to-supreme-court/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Brad Garlinghouse</a> and Chief Technology Officer (CTO), <a href="https://bitcoinist.com/ripple-cto-burn-xrp-holdings/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">David Schwartz</a>. He urged them to implement more effective measures to enhance the value of XRP, highlighting the community’s growing restlessness and ongoing frustration with the cryptocurrency’s price.&nbsp;
<h2 id="b-xrp-community-slowly-loses-hope-for-cryptocurrency-b">XRP Community Slowly Loses Hope For Cryptocurrency</h2>
Similar to Mack, the majority of the XRP community has also expressed pessimistic sentiments regarding XRP’s extensive declines. Various <a href="https://bitcoinist.com/xrp-holders-sold-a-dream/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">XRP holders</a> are beginning to lose confidence in the cryptocurrency and have opted to either sell off their tokens or refrain from purchasing more XRP.

 I’m not selling but I’m definitely not buying anymore. Volume will drop if progress continues to be slow if not at all and voluminous selling activity occurs at “interesting” times

An XRP community member <a href="https://x.com/tomenater/status/1756003112949539220?s=46" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">disclosed</a> that he had sold off 75% of his XRP holdings and plans to exit the market entirely. Mack, witnessing a decline in his connections, has also begun selling off his XRP holdings. Additionally, another member has <a href="https://x.com/crypt0fiend21/status/1756021245940744307?s=46" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">stated</a> that he would refrain from buying XRP tokens, expressing concerns that the cryptocurrency’s volume could drop further if the current decline persists.&nbsp;
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet">
 I’ve already sold 75% of my bag and I’m going to exit very soon we’ve lived through super high risk and have not been rewarded for it

Amidst the growing discontent, some community members <a href="https://x.com/3crownedking/status/1756044927274729503?s=46" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">argue</a> that Ripple and its team have displayed a lack of consideration for the community’s sentiments. They <a href="https://x.com/unionoperator/status/1756020537506021683?s=46" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" target="_blank">claim</a> that the company is only concerned about its internal developments and strategic objectives rather than the interest of retail investors.
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet">
 They could absolutely care less about the “community”

 Do you really think ripple and team give a shit what you or I think? They are building regardless of what the community wants they will build what they want too. People are getting restless, well bye. If you know what’s being built buy hold and invest what’s is the had sort
