Skipping XRP Could Be The Real Risk

A new round of debate is gaining traction throughout the crypto universe, driven by the argument that not going into crypto at all could be the actual gamble investors are making. Dom Kwok, EasyA co-founder, made the argument earlier this week by stating that crypto isn’t the gambit people are making it out to be. Actually, he stated, the larger risk may be missing out on what’s around the corner. His opinion has been echoed and expanded on by a number of crypto supporters, including long-time XRP fan Edoardo Farina. Yet whereas Kwok’s focus was on crypto overall, Farina narrowed his focus to one asset specifically. Focus Turns To XRP In Farina’s view, the largest mistake investors are making is not ignoring crypto—it’s ignoring XRP. XRP is not the risky one, he contended, it’s those who do not own it that are gambling. His point was this: not owning any of it could be a huge mistake. XRP isn’t risky. The biggest risk is having no $XRP . https://t.co/cXhXHsszNF — EDO FARINA ???? XRP (@edward_farina) April 27, 2025 To illustrate his point, Farina set milestones. He feels that any serious investor would want to own at least 1,000 XRP, which at current prices would be valued at about $625. He also referenced the XRP Rich List, noting that anyone who has 2,500 tokens—approximately $1,562—is already within the top 10% of token holders. Farina went so far as to suggest that 10,000 XRP, or approximately $6,250, could result in a life-altering moment. A $10,000 Price Target Raises Eyebrows Farina’s largest assertion is also the most contentious. He stated that XRP will eventually reach $10,000 per token. That would make today’s $6,250 pile of 10,000 tokens worth $100 million. His vision may be ambitious but is not a popular one. For his part, in a recent YouTube Short, crypto expert Davinci Jeremie predicted that XRP is likely to hit a high target of $24 by 2025. To hit the $24 target requires a hike of 970% from the current level of $2.24. Meanwhile, even within the XRP community, many have shunned this notion. XRP has not yet pierced its former all-time high, established over seven years ago. To many investors, this seven-year wait has become a cause for concern. Doubters Ask About XRP’s History Farina’s tweet drew responses from doubters. Some indicated they’re just holding what they can afford to lose. Others ridiculed XRP, saying it’s a “stablecoin” due to its inactivity in terms of price movement. Although XRP has experienced bouts of high gains in the past, its current performance has been stagnant. Supporters Warn About Missing Out And yet, voices such as Kwok and Farina are doubling down. They indicate the true danger isn’t a decline in value—it’s missing the next wave entirely. In their opinion, waiting on the sidelines may be much more dangerous than taking a position today. The gap between believers and detractors remains keen. While some indicate XRP is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, others think it’s a long shot at best.
