Believe me, many are.
But if you want to be one of the ones who makes a boat load of money in this space, then you have to keep playing the game while others start to give up.
That's what sets you apart from the crowd.
That's what makes you a winner in a game in which everybody's simply not gonna make it.
How bad do you want it?
How much time/effort are you willing to put in to get it?
This doesn't mean you need to sit and stare at your screen all day- doing that isn't going to make the candles move any faster.
It does mean you need to hang in there when the market is chopping/shaking people out, and find a way to pass the time until the market shapes up in your favor again.
If you can do that you'll still be here and make it out to the other side while many of your peers have fallen off, and that's when you'll no longer be part of the losing crowd but rather the winning minority.
Find a hobby or passion project to keep you busy, spend more time with family/friends, prioritize your health and physical/mental well being, travel (if you can), read a new book, educate yourself more about trading/investing, take this time to do things you may not have nearly as much time for when the market IS hot and you actually DO have to spend your time staring at the screen.
Make the most of this "free time" while you have it because it won't last forever and you want to be fresh and ready for when the market turns in your favor (because it will).
To every XRP holder reading this:
I genuinely believe we are living through one of the most important monetary transitions of our lifetime.
History shows that periods of financial restructuring create two outcomes. A small group positions early and benefits enormously. The majority either dismiss the change, misunderstand it, or arrive after the opportunity has already passed.
That is not meant to be arrogant. It is simply how every major wealth transfer has worked.
The world is changing. Settlement systems are changing. Money is changing. Ownership is changing.
The window to position yourself for what comes next is still open.
Not forever. But it is still open.
Years from now, many people will say they wish they had paid more attention when the signs were everywhere.
If you have done your research and understand what XRP was built for, do not let short term volatility shake long term conviction.
The hardest part of every opportunity is holding it before everyone else understands it.
Stay patient.
Stay focused.
And remember why you got here in the first place.
The war between Iran and the U.S has now shifted into a battle between the U.S. and Israel
Think about it, this week both TRUMP and IRAN teamed up in their criticism of ISRAEL
And both backed it with action!
Iran closed the Strait of Hormuz while Trump opened communication lines with Netanyahu's opposition
All while JD Vance and Trump go on a media tour criticizing Israeli action and speaking positively of the Iranian Government, and Israel Hayon (Miriam Adelson's news outlet) publishes a hit piece on Trump calling him a traitor
Do you understand how wild this is?
VANCE: “We were right on the cusp of a major breakthrough… and then there’s a big explosion in a civilian area in Beirut, killing people who have nothing to do with Hezbollah.
That’s not acceptable.”
BREAKING: US intelligence agencies have warned the Trump administration that Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is likely to take steps that will undermine President Trump’s effort to reach a lasting peace deal with Iran, per WaPo
🇺🇸 The opening of Obama's Presidential Center gave us this gem: Obama and Jill Biden both walked off and forgot Joe!
Anyone else hit with a bit of sweet nostalgia seeing Joe lost on stage again? 😂
🚨 WOW! JD Vance is DIRECTLY calling out Israeli cabinet members for their personal attacks on President Trump
"Donald J. Trump is the ONLY head of state in the ENTIRE WORLD who is sympathetic to the nation of Israel at this moment in time, and he happens to be the head of state of the world superpower.
If I was in the cabinet of the Israeli government, I might not be attacking the only powerful ally that I have ANYWHERE left in the entire world."
"The other thing that I would say is that over the last 3 months, TWO-THIRDS of the defensive weapons that have protected your homeland have been built by AMERICAN HANDS and paid for by AMERICAN TAX DOLLARS.
The problem for Israel is not Donald J. Trump, and anybody in Israel who thinks their biggest problem is the President of the United States needs to WAKE UP and smell the reality of the situation that country is in."
🚨 UPDATE: Iran has reportedly suspended its 60-day negotiation process with the U.S. following what it described as a violation of the agreement’s first clause after Israeli strikes in southern Lebanon.
Iran reportedly canceled its planned trip to Switzerland for the first round of talks and says negotiations will remain paused until it is assured the attacks have stopped and commitments are being upheld.
