XRP: A Scarcity Most Curious! 🧐

by

Hark! A most peculiar tale unfolds in the realm of these… *digital trinkets*. A so-called “pundit” – one who presumes to know the future, as if holding a crystal ball fashioned from silicon – doth proclaim a dwindling of XRP, a coin whose abundance is becoming, dare I say, rather…limited! ‘Tis said a great many tokens are held captive, locked away in digital coffers and thus debarred from the bustling marketplace. A supply shock, quoth he! A supply shock! As if the market were a fainting damsel in distress.

A Lament for Lost XRP!

This ‘24HRSCRYPTO’ – an epithet as mysterious as it is elongated – doth suggest that investors, those souls easily swayed by rumour and speculation, know not the true paucity of XRP available for trade. This dearth, combined with the insatiable appetites of certain… *institutions*, threatens a crisis of availability. 🎭

Behold! Ripple Labs itself holdeth a king’s ransom – 37.3 billion coins, constituting a full 37.3% of the circulating supply! And another 3.5 billion, kept close to the chest! A princely sum indeed. Then add to this the holdings of Messieurs Larsen and Britto, each possessing a sizeable fortune in XRP – 2.3 and 1.3 billion respectively! Nearly half the realm’s coins, locked away before even considering the meddling of great houses and merchants!

And lo, the Canadian financiers, Purpose ETFs and 3iQ, amass these digital tokens with considerable enthusiasm, possessing 29.6 and 45 million coins respectively. A trifle, perhaps, compared to the coffers of Wall Street, yet a noticeable dent in the circulating supply nonetheless. One shudders to contemplate what might occur should those behemoths of finance turn their gaze toward this XRP. 😱

The common investor, it seems, claims but a modest 15% of these coins. A paltry share, I say! One suspects they are pawns in a larger game, played by those with deeper pockets and more… *ambitious* designs.

Our ‘24HRSCRYPTO’ doth fret over the potential arrival of American banking giants – JP Morgan, Wells Fargo, Goldman Sachs! Should these titans begin to hoard XRP, billions more could vanish into ‘cold storage’, leaving the common trader to lament a barren marketplace. A most distressing thought! 😖

A Prophecy of Four and Three-Tenths!

But hark! Not all is gloom and despondency. A fellow known as Captain Redbeard – a fitting name for a purveyor of financial fortunes – doth perceive a ‘bullish flag’ upon the charts! A mystical formation, he claims, that foretells a rallying of the price to a glorious $4.3! ‘Tis said the REX-Osprey Fund hath added some ten million in new wealth, heralding a surge of capital. A consoling notion, perhaps, for those who find themselves adrift in this sea of speculation.

He points to a breakout from a ‘consolidation wedge’ after a recent upward surge, suggesting a price now near $3.40. This arrangement, it is said, is a harbinger of prosperity. Should this prophecy hold true, a considerable gain awaits the fortunate investor. One must, however, remember that charts and flags are fickle things, prone to deception and mirage.
