According to a recent video by Edward Farina, founder of Alpha Lions Academy, XRP holders should think twice before selling every time the market dips.
He pointed out that on May 12, XRP fell from $2.47 to $2.33—a 5.60% drop in 24 hours. Such moves stoke fear. But Farina says sticking around might pay off in the long run.
Strong Reminder To Hold
Farina urged investors not to let a 20–30% pullback scare them out. He warned that selling during a small slide often kicks people out just before the next surge.
When XRP fell to around $0.50–$$0.70 in past years, many sold. Those same coins later climbed by hundreds of percent. Holding through the downturn would have turned a small stake into a much larger gain.
Big Gains Lost By Early Sellers
Based on reports, people who bailed at $0.60 missed out on big rallies. That drop to the $0.50–$0.70 range represented a massive buying opportunity. But paranoia took over.
Investors sold to shield themselves from more losses. They thought the dip would last. It didn’t. XRP’s price shot up, leaving many behind.
When the $XRP train leaves the station it won’t stop to take more passengers.
Make your choices NOW or regret later, unfortunately 95% will be left behind.

Simple Three-Step Approach
Farina laid out what he calls a clear plan: buy the coin, hold it long term, and stay brave when the market gets shaky. He dismissed the need for complex tactics like day‑trading or staking.
He even said you don’t need a huge pile of cash to get started. Instead, courage during volatility is what counts. That message is meant to be easy to follow.
Institutional Interest And Conviction
He also spoke about doing a “conviction move” by studying XRP’s tech, financials, and geopolitical role. According to Farina, XRP serves as a bridge currency for fiat transfers.
He claims this has drawn the eye of big players like the IMF and the Bank for International Settlements. He believes this backing shows that demand could stay strong.
Warning On Risks And Reality
Farina admitted he once sold in panic and missed out. Now, he says he’d hold his XRP even if the price fell to zero. That’s a bold stance. Yet, real markets can be unpredictable. No amount of courage can replace the need for risk checks and exit plans.
XRP Price At A Glance
At press time, XRP traded at $2.37, down 3.25% over 24 hours and 1.7% for the week. Farina warned that when XRP takes off, it could move so fast that 95% of investors get left behind. He urged people to act now if they want a seat on the “XRP train.”
