The Real Test for XRP Believers

Holding XRP isn't about fighting price swings—that's the easy part. The real battle? Patience.

Look at the pattern:

**2014-2017 Cycle:**
Phases 1, 2, and 3 played out exactly as expected. Result? A massive rally that changed portfolios.

**2021-2026 Cycle:**
Phases 1, 2, and 3 are executing on schedule. So what happens next?

The structure repeats. Those who got shaken out during "Phase 3"—the brutal consolidation nobody wants to sit through—they're watching from the sidelines as "Phase 4" begins. They had the entry, lost the conviction.

Time isn't your enemy if you understand the cycle. It's only painful if you keep questioning whether you should still be here. The ones who compound wealth? They're the ones who made peace with waiting.

Basically, it's a psychological game; everyone understands the technical aspects.

Honestly, the group that was left out in the third phase is now feeling really miserable.

The group shaken out in phase 3, now looking at me still holding on stubbornly, probably calling me an idiot in their hearts... But I haven't even seen a MACD golden cross, why should I cut my losses?
