XRP is an old coin launched in 2012, and many people may have forgotten that it was originally created as a 'bridge asset' for cross-border payments, having traversed over a decade of bull and bear markets.
Since the structural breakthrough began, the altcoin I am most optimistic about is it. XRP is not the kind of coin that skyrockets suddenly and makes people exclaim, but it often slowly finds its own rhythm when emotions warm up and the market starts to rotate.
In the long run, I prefer to see it as a form of cyclical patience, not because it is the hottest, but because it has been around long enough and is stable enough.
