The One Cryptocurrency I Own That I Just Don't Give a ---- Where It Goes!

in cryptocurrency •  7 years ago 

As strange as it might sound to some of you, I own certain cryptocurrency assets that I genuinely don't care whether it moves higher or lower.

In particular, I have one altcoin with which I have a love/hate affair.

That, as you might guess, is Ripple...the so-called banker's cryptocurrency.

So why own it, then?

I'll be straight up with you...I only did it as a "FOMO hedge." That is, I bought because others that I know did and I didn't want to be left regretting if the thing hit the moon.

I know...this may sound weird to you, but I'm just being real.

Indeed, I'd rather Ripple (or what I jokingly call Cripple) just implode, never to rise again. The development team unashamedly label their project as the cryptocurrency that works with the banks.

Works with the banks!?!?!???

I...just...can't...

When I hear this, it's like someone saying they're prostituting for Jesus. It simply doesn't make sense on so many fundamental levels, the very definition of an oxymoron.

I hope it fails, I really do.

But if it doesn't, that's what my FOMO hedge is there for! :)

That was funny conception.
For some reason xrp is sitting right on top to explode. I just don't know what direction.
Keep on steemin'

Yes, it is good to have XRP in the crypto portfolio, you never know when it may take a big jump!

I was against the very idea of Ripple for a very long time, but eventually started buying it after the first major pump and dump which sent the price from half a cent to around 43 cents last year then back down to 11-12 cents.

Good job, and great work.

Nice post
