XRP Army. The Legend of Coming Soon

XRP Army. The Legend Of Coming Soon.

In the vast and mystifying world of crypto, there exists a tribe unlike any other. Their loyalty is fierce, their devotion unyielding, and their optimism impervious to the forces of reality.

They are the XRP Army. And their battle cry? “It’s coming soon!“

For years, the XRP faithful have clung to promises of world domination, a future where every international transaction on Earth (and possibly Mars) would be powered by Ripple’s glorious technology.

The dream is simple. XRP would replace the U.S. dollar, the Euro, and perhaps even Pokémon cards as the world’s most valuable currency.

 

No more waiting for that $589 price target, no sir! It’s “just around the corner.“

 

But of course, XRP Army members have heard that phrase so many times, it’s become more of a mantra than a timeline.

The Greatest Contracts Never Acted On

Ah, the partnerships. The signed contracts. The deals that would change the world….. someday.

In the XRP forums and Telegram groups, stories of high level contracts between Ripple and big banks circulate like bedtime stories. “JP Morgan just signed on!” someone shouts. “The Saudi National Bank is in!” another claims. “The Fed is using XRP right now!” one particularly excitable member proclaims, as a flurry of rocket emojis follows.

Yet, oddly enough, none of these grand contracts ever seem to… well, do anything. XRP is still waiting for that fabled utility pump, but that doesn’t matter. Because it’s coming soon!

“Why would they announce anything now? asks Brad, an XRP Army general (and self appointed blockchain strategist). “It’s all part of the plan. They’re keeping it low key. You’ll see… any day now.“

Days become weeks. Weeks become months. Months become years. But don’t worry. It’s coming soon!

The Foundation Of Faith (oh, and 55% of the supply)

Every member of the XRP Army knows that true believers hold XRP through thick and thin, and boy, has it been thin lately. The Ripple Foundation, the all powerful overlords of the XRP ledger, holds over half the supply.

A mere 55%, to be exact.

“Look“, says Tim, another Army lieutenant, “it’s fine. They’ll only dump a few billion XRP on the market every month. What’s the big deal?“

Indeed, in any other crypto project, this massive centralization of supply would be a red flag. A gigantic, fire breathing, neon lit red flag. But for the XRP Army? “That’s good, actually,” they say. “Ripple’s just protecting the market from wild volatility. You want them to hold all that XRP! They’re keeping it safe!“

“Safe?” asks a newcomer to the community, scratching their head. “But isn’t that the same as centralization?“

“NO!” the Army roars back in unison, “It’s different! Ripple isn’t like other projects. They’re special!“

The newcomer falls silent. They’ve learned not to question the Army. You don’t question the plan. Besides, who needs decentralization when everything is coming soon?

Pumping… After It Dumps 20%

There’s something peculiar about XRP. It has this mystical ability to plummet 20% overnight, only to rise by a glorious… 1% the next day. And when that 1% gain happens, oh boy, the Army comes alive.

“IT’S PUMPING!” shouts Greg, waving his hands at the charts like a madman. “THE BULL RUN IS BACK!”

His phone screen glows with the image of a bright green candlestick. It’s barely noticeable, but Greg is hyped. He takes a screenshot, posts it on Twitter, and adds the #XRP hashtag. Fellow Army members join in the celebration, retweeting and adding comments like, “You love to see it!” and “WE’RE GOING TO THE MOON!”

But the moon, it seems, has become a distant and unfamiliar place. XRP, despite its army’s fervor, seems to be perpetually grounded somewhere between Earth and the asteroid belt. No matter. Because it’s pumping, man! Sure, it just fell off a cliff yesterday, but today’s 1% gain is proof that the rocket is still fueled and ready.

“See?” Greg says confidently, “I told you. Just wait until the next pump. It’s going to be MASSIVE.”

Meanwhile, the price quietly inches down again.

The Anger Of The Faithful

But behind the unwavering optimism lies a simmering rage. The XRP Army doesn’t take kindly to those who question their beliefs. Every time a Twitter pundit mentions how Ripple holds 55% of the supply, how contracts haven’t been acted on, or how others are gaining adoption, the Army rallies with the ferocity of a hornet’s nest.

“IT’S ALL FUD!” they shout, waving their pitchforks at anyone who dares to challenge the narrative. “You don’t understand Ripple’s long term strategy. It’s about the future! You just have to be patient. It’s coming soon!“

And if that fails, they’ll invoke the classic rebuttal: “Have fun staying poor!“

Nothing infuriates an XRP Army member more than watching other coins pump while their beloved token remains stagnant. Every time Bitcoin, Ethereum, or Dogecoin makes headlines, there’s a flurry of posts in XRP chatrooms about how the real gains are still ahead.

“You’ll see“, they mutter, grinding their teeth as they scroll through CoinMarketCap. “We’re just getting started. They have no idea what’s coming.“

And what’s coming? Well, of course…

It’s coming soon.
