The perspective of a long-term investor: XRP and the spring that has been compressed for too long
As someone who has been involved in the crypto market for many years, I have witnessed not a few cycles of excitement followed by decline. But during that time, there has always been one name that has made me both patient and hopeful — XRP.
What makes XRP special is not the shocking price spikes, but how it quietly accumulates and "compresses force" for a very long time. To me, XRP is exactly like a tightly compressed spring; the longer it is compressed, the greater its internal strength.
Many people are impatient about the slow growth rate, but anyone who has followed XRP since 2017 surely understands:
the times when XRP is the most silent are actually when it is preparing for a major change.
I do not assert that XRP will reach distant price levels like $20, $50, or even $100, but I believe that those milestones can no longer be seen as impossible if three important factors converge:
The legal issues between Ripple and the SEC are resolved completely.
Real institutional money participates.
Practical applications in cross-border payments increase significantly.
Having gone through many years in the market, I have learned that:
when a large asset is compressed for too long, when it finally bursts out, it will not follow conventional rules.
To me, $XRP is right at that stage.
No noise, no ostentation — just quietly accumulating energy.
As for how high it will bounce? The market will answer.
But for me, I still maintain faith in this spring, because silence for too long has never been the end — it is always the starting point for a new cycle.
