Software engineer Vincent Van Code recently delivered a noteworthy speech on social media, aimed directly at the XRP community with the message: It's time to let go of illusions and approach the market with maturity, patience, and a realistic perspective.
He criticized the trend of clinging to speculative stories, expecting miraculous price increases from 'external drivers', and particularly condemned the popularity of unreasonable price targets – like the $1,000 mark for XRP. Van Code emphasized: The long-term value of XRP does not come from miracles, but from practical utility and demand within the ecosystem.
He called for a more disciplined mindset – instead of waiting for a surprise 'boost', the community should focus on a slow but sustainable development process, aiming for long-term system integration.
AION: XRP is not slow, the new world is delayed
A noteworthy response came from AION, who argued that XRP's 'stagnation' is not due to weak fundamentals, but because it is waiting for synchronization from a global financial transformation process. According to AION, Ripple is part of the effort to replace outdated financial systems with a new structure – large-scale, complex, and requiring time.
They see Ripple's legal victory in the U.S. as a sign that XRP is ready, but the 'stagnation' is due to external factors, even suggesting a major financial crisis could be the final push for comprehensive change.
Truth vs view-seeking content
Meanwhile, some other members like ClubXbox pointed out a concerning reality: Unfounded speculative content is being exploited to attract views and make money from interactions, regardless of accuracy. They warned about a toxic loop: unrealistic expectations – disappointment – and then expectations again.
A divided community: Believe in reality or dream of an explosion?
Mixed feedback shows a growing divide: One side firmly believes in the vision of 'financial globalization', while the other agrees with Van Code – that clarity and realism are the only way to avoid disillusionment.
The final message reiterated: The real success of XRP does not come from hype, nor from memes, but from practical applications, integrated infrastructure, and the gradual progress of a long-term game.
