The story of "Cozy Whale": From an IT employee to a millionaire thanks to XRP.
In 2017, while the cryptocurrency market was experiencing strong growth, Cozy Whale, an IT employee living in a small town in the U.S., accidentally learned about Ripple (XRP) while researching fast global money transfer solutions.
Although at that time, Bitcoin and Ethereum were the two prominent names, he was convinced by Ripple's clear goals and practical application potential – especially since XRP was designed to help banks transfer money across borders quickly and cost-effectively.
Cozy Whale started small-scale investing: each week he set aside about 100 USD to buy XRP, despite the doubts and ridicule from friends. In a later interview, he recounted:
I did not invest to get rich quickly. I invested because I believe that XRP can change the way the world transfers money.
By the end of 2017, the price of XRP suddenly skyrocketed from 0.25 USD to nearly 3.00 USD. Cozy Whale at that point held nearly 1 million XRP. However, instead of selling off to secure profits like many others, he only sold a small portion, keeping the majority because he believed that the true potential of XRP had not yet been realized.
In the following years, XRP went through a tough period, especially when Ripple was embroiled in a lawsuit with the SEC (Securities and Exchange Commission). Many investors lost faith, but Cozy Whale remained steadfast.
I did not just invest money; I invested trust.
Finally, in 2023, Ripple won a significant victory in the lawsuit with the SEC, and the price of XRP surged again. Cozy Whale became a dollar millionaire.🚀
