In a recent social media discussion, the XRP community, colloquially referred to as the “XRP Army,” reacted to a provocative tweet from the prominent cryptocurrency enthusiast known as XRP Whale.
The <a href="https://x.com/realXRPwhale/status/1843484302841180551" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">tweet</a> posed a simple yet revealing question: “If I gave you 1,000 $XRP, would you SELL or HOLD?” This tweet has ignited various responses, reflecting the broader sentiment of the community toward the digital asset, particularly at a time when market volatility remains high.
As of today, XRP, the cryptocurrency created by Ripple Labs to facilitate <a href="https://timestabloid.com/ripple-wins-new-cross-border-payment-partnership-in-europe/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">cross-border payments</a>, is <a href="https://coinmarketcap.com/currencies/xrp/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">priced</a> at $0.5285. Therefore, 1,000 XRP would be valued at approximately $528.50.
Despite this modest value in fiat currency terms, the responses to XRP Whale’s question demonstrated a significant divide in strategy and perspective within the XRP community, ranging from long-term holders to short-term traders.
<h3 id="b-the-appeal-of-holding-xrp-confidence-in-the-long-term-b">The Appeal of Holding XRP: Confidence in the Long Term</h3>
One prevailing theme in the responses is the strong conviction among certain members of the XRP Army that holding XRP is the right choice for long-term success.
One such response came from Dickson Jack, who <a href="https://x.com/DJack67832/status/1843628535308792152" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">said</a>, “If possible you can give it out, I’ll hold it. XRP is a future changer.” His sentiment reflects the belief held by many XRP proponents that the asset is poised for significant future gains.
The concept of XRP being a “future changer” stems from its unique position in the cryptocurrency landscape. XRP was designed to solve real-world problems in the financial sector, particularly through Ripple’s focus on cross-border payments.
Many investors see its potential to revolutionize global money transfers as a reason to hold onto the token, despite its current market fluctuations. These individuals believe that the current price does not reflect XRP’s full potential, and they anticipate higher valuations in the future.
A similar opinion was expressed by WolfPack Services, a member of the community who <a href="https://x.com/Big_Misto/status/1843514939358539958" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">shared</a>, “I’ve been holding XRP since 2018. So I’ll stack it, and hold it with the rest.” This response underscores the commitment many long-time investors have toward the asset.
For them, the volatility and price swings of the market are less concerning, as they are focused on the broader trajectory of the digital currency’s adoption and utility.
The concept of holding, commonly referred to as “HODLing” within the cryptocurrency space, has long been a strategy for investors who believe that patience will eventually be rewarded.
Despite regulatory challenges and fluctuating prices, XRP continues to have a dedicated group of holders who are willing to wait for what they believe will be a breakthrough moment for the asset.
<h2 id="b-the-sell-high-buy-low-strategy-br-b">The Sell-High, Buy-Low Strategy </h2>
Not all members of the XRP community share the long-term holding philosophy. Some traders adopt a more flexible, opportunistic approach to managing their holdings. Marvin Omar Calderon <a href="https://x.com/MCalderon14/status/1843656984341688817" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">expressed</a> this view clearly, stating, “Not financial advice. I’ll sell when it pumps. Buy back in when it dips.”
This response reflects a common strategy among cryptocurrency traders, who attempt to capitalize on short-term market movements. For these investors, the goal is to sell XRP during periods of price appreciation, or “pumps,” and repurchase it when the price declines, or “dips.”
This approach requires careful timing and attention to market trends, but for experienced traders, it can potentially lead to greater profits in a shorter time frame compared to a long-term hold strategy.
Such a trading method is not without risk, as the cryptocurrency market is notoriously volatile and difficult to predict. However, for investors like Calderon, who have the time and expertise to track market fluctuations, selling high and buying low can be an effective way to maximize returns on their investments.

<h2 id="b-market-sentiment-and-the-future-of-xrp-b">Market Sentiment and the Future of XRP</h2>
The varied responses to XRP Whale’s tweet illustrate the diverse strategies within the XRP community. On one hand, some steadfast holders believe in the long-term success of XRP and are willing to endure market volatility for what they perceive as greater future rewards.
On the other hand, some more active traders seek to profit from short-term price movements, even if that means exiting the market temporarily to buy back at a lower price.
At the time of the tweet, XRP’s price of $0.5285 was relatively low compared to its all-time high of $3.84 in January 2018. This disparity in price fuels the optimism of long-term holders who expect the asset to eventually return to, or exceed those heights.
However, the price volatility and <a href="https://timestabloid.com/ripple-vs-sec-case-as-of-october-6-2024-xrp-non-security-status-is-safe/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">ongoing legal battle</a> between Ripple Labs and the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) continue to contribute to uncertainty within the market, influencing the actions of both long-term holders and short-term traders.
