According to a recent video by Edward Farina, founder of Alpha Lions Academy, XRP holders should think twice before selling every time the market dips.
He pointed out that on May 12, XRP fell from $2.47 to $2.33—a 5.60% drop in 24 hours. Such moves stoke fear. But Farina says sticking around might pay off in the long run.
Strong Reminder To Hold
Farina urged investors not to let a 20–30% pullback scare them out. He warned that selling during a small slide often kicks people out just before the next surge.
When XRP fell to around $0.50–$$0.70 in past years, many sold. Those same coins later climbed by hundreds of percent. Holding through the downturn would have turned a small stake into a much larger gain.
Big Gains Lost By Early Sellers
Based on reports, people who bailed at $0.60 missed out on big rallies. That drop to the $0.50–$0.70 range represented a massive buying opportunity. But paranoia took over.
Investors sold to shield themselves from more losses. They thought the dip would last. It didn’t. XRP’s price shot up, leaving many behind.
When the $XRP train 🚆 leaves the station it won’t stop to take more passengers.
Make your choices NOW or regret later, unfortunately 95% will be left behind.

Simple Three-Step Approach
Farina laid out what he calls a clear plan: buy the coin, hold it long term, and stay brave when the market gets shaky. He dismissed the need for complex tactics like day‑trading or staking.
He even said you don’t need a huge pile of cash to get started. Instead, courage during volatility is what counts. That message is meant to be easy to follow.
Institutional Interest And Conviction
He also spoke about doing a “conviction move” by studying XRP’s tech, financials, and geopolitical role. According to Farina, XRP serves as a bridge currency for fiat transfers.
He claims this has drawn the eye of big players like the IMF and the Bank for International Settlements. He believes this backing shows that demand could stay strong.
Warning On Risks And Reality
Farina admitted he once sold in panic and missed out. Now, he says he’d hold his XRP even if the price fell to zero. That’s a bold stance. Yet, real markets can be unpredictable. No amount of courage can replace the need for risk checks and exit plans.
XRP Price At A Glance
At press time, XRP traded at $2.37, down 3.25% over 24 hours and 1.7% for the week. Farina warned that when XRP takes off, it could move so fast that 95% of investors get left behind. He urged people to act now if they want a seat on the “XRP train.”

They say journalists never truly clock out. But for Christian, that’s not just a metaphor, it’s a lifestyle. By day, he navigates the ever-shifting tides of the cryptocurrency market, wielding words like a seasoned editor and crafting articles that decipher the jargon for the masses. When the PC goes on hibernate mode, however, his pursuits take a more mechanical (and sometimes philosophical) turn.
Christian’s journey with the written word began long before the age of Bitcoin. In the hallowed halls of academia, he honed his craft as a feature writer for his college paper. This early love for storytelling paved the way for a successful stint as an editor at a data engineering firm, where his first-month essay win funded a months-long supply of doggie and kitty treats – a testament to his dedication to his furry companions (more on that later).
Christian then roamed the world of journalism, working at newspapers in Canada and even South Korea. He finally settled down at a local news giant in his hometown in the Philippines for a decade, becoming a total news junkie. But then, something new caught his eye: cryptocurrency. It was like a treasure hunt mixed with storytelling – right up his alley!
So, he landed a killer gig at NewsBTC, where he’s one of the go-to guys for all things crypto. He breaks down this confusing stuff into bite-sized pieces, making it easy for anyone to understand (he salutes his management team for teaching him this skill).
Think Christian’s all work and no play? Not a chance! When he’s not at his computer, you’ll find him indulging his passion for motorbikes. A true gearhead, Christian loves tinkering with his bike and savoring the joy of the open road on his 320-cc Yamaha R3. Once a speed demon who hit 120mph (a feat he vowed never to repeat), he now prefers leisurely rides along the coast, enjoying the wind in his thinning hair.
Speaking of chill, Christian’s got a crew of furry friends waiting for him at home. Two cats and a dog. He swears cats are way smarter than dogs (sorry, Grizzly), but he adores them all anyway. Apparently, watching his pets just chillin’ helps him analyze and write meticulously formatted articles even better.
Here’s the thing about this guy: He works a lot, but he keeps himself fueled by enough coffee to make it through the day – and some seriously delicious (Filipino) food. He says a delectable meal is the secret ingredient to a killer article. And after a long day of crypto crusading, he unwinds with some rum (mixed with milk) while watching slapstick movies.
Looking ahead, Christian sees a bright future with NewsBTC. He says he sees himself privileged to be part of an awesome organization, sharing his expertise and passion with a community he values, and fellow editors – and bosses – he deeply respects.
So, the next time you tread into the world of cryptocurrency, remember the man behind the words – the crypto crusader, the grease monkey, and the feline philosopher, all rolled into one.
