I got on BTC back when it was $900ish at the beginning of the year after a knowledgeable friend gave me the lowdown.

He also got me into ETH about 3 months later before it passed $100USD.

He is tipping a massive roller coaster for the next 6 weeks
8 years later….

On Jan 1st 2018, bored of studies user Neil_ gave a 'conservative' projection that ripple (XRP) would be $18-20 by the end of 2018. I've been coming back to this most years since, because it never ceases to be funny:

I got in on ripple at 75c...

It's now $2.27241 (ATH @ USD $2.80) analysts say it will grow to $18-20 (end of 2018), bear in mind those are conservative figures since it already beat this year's projections by leaps and bounds. Great opportunity to invest (FOMO) :party: :party:
It did not reach $18-20 by the end of 2018, but I keep checking every year, I've made previous posts here on Dec 31st over many years.

Let's see what the current XRP price is on coingecko.com:

$2.09 USD

Still down from Jan 2018 (down a lot really if you account for inflation and opportunity cost), no profit for 7 years, and sadly not yet $18-20, maybe 2025 will be the year XRP dreams come true.

I've been checking back every year, last year I commented "maybe 2025 will be the year XRP dreams come true".

See my comment immediately above this one ^^

XRP is now $1.87 USD.

Sadly XRP is not yet $18-20, and in fact still lower than on January 1st 2018, for the 7th consecutive year.

Some haters would say 7 consecutive years of no gains is not a good investment.

If you'd put your money into just a run of the mill index fund, you would have made shitloads comparatively.
