The ongoing XRP dip is triggering a new wave of frustration among previously bullish investors, some of whom are now threatening to dump the coin for good.
On Monday, the price of XRP crashed to $2.82, nearing a new monthly low amid a broader crypto market bloodbath. During the same period, Bitcoin plummeted to $108,700—a level last seen in early July.
The decline has sparked renewed anxiety among market commentators who were initially optimistic about XRP’s long-term prospects.
“This Isn’t a Joke Anymore”
Leading this wave of criticism is widely followed influencer Crypto Bitlord. In a tweet on Monday, he declared that if XRP returns to $2, he would “sell every last cent” at market price and “turn the chart into a cliff.”
In other words, he intends to sell his holdings so aggressively that it could cause a steep price drop, dragging the value even lower and exacerbating panic among other investors.
Bitlord emphasized that such an event would represent a complete failure for XRP, leaving him with no choice but to walk away from the project entirely. He believes that if, after all this time, XRP returns to $2 rather than reach much higher targets, it’s proof that the investment has failed.
Notably, Bitlord claimed to have been invested in XRP for 12 years, likely since around 2013, near its initial launch. After more than a decade, he’s frustrated that the coin has never come close to the $100 mark, a price point he had hoped would bring life-changing wealth.
Bitlord expressed deep disappointment that his long-term commitment to XRP has cost him valuable time and emotional energy without delivering the returns he had envisioned.
“This isn’t a joke anymore,” he wrote, directing blame toward Ripple and adding, “We have lives to live.”
Previous Bullish View on XRP
Until recently, Bitlord was among the leading voices in the crypto community urging people to prioritize investing in XRP. In July 2024, he said, “For the love of God, buy XRP,” claiming a major development was imminent.
In a subsequent post, the veteran investor again expressed strong belief that millions of dollars could be made from XRP, saying it was poised for a historic price breakout.
These predictions largely materialized at the end of the year, when XRP jumped from the $0.50 range to the $3 level—surging nearly 600%. However, many have been hoping for continued progress since then, and the lack of it is once again stirring frustration.
Despite the ongoing dip, with XRP currently trading at $2.91, the coin remains up by 388% from last year. This is more than a 4X gain for those who bought just a year ago.
Community Reaction
Bitlord’s plan to dump XRP due to poor performance has sparked significant attention among other XRP supporters. Some criticized him for blaming XRP’s price action on Ripple’s efforts. Meanwhile, Bitlord responded that the company is not doing enough marketing, in his view.
Correct. Not enough marketing

Meanwhile, X user RegretfulVet remarked that if XRP falls to $2, he would take out the biggest loan ever to buy as many coins as possible, securing “cheap” bags for the next pump.
Bitlord replied by urging caution, suggesting that one should also consider the possibility that XRP could actually fail to deliver on its promises. However, it is unclear if the market analyst is currently just being sarcastic.
