Crypto commentator Crypto Dyl News has brought renewed attention to comments made by former Ripple CTO David Schwartz, linking a past Ethereum trading decision to current expectations around XRP.
The tweet highlights a personal account shared by Schwartz, where he reflected on selling Ethereum at an early stage, only to watch its price rise significantly afterward.
According to the post, Schwartz explained that he sold Ethereum at approximately $1.05 after observing repeated price movements between $0.70 and $1.00. He stated that he expected the asset to follow a familiar pattern, allowing him to re-enter at a lower price.
Instead, the price moved quickly upward, reaching $12 and eventually climbing to $2,000. Schwartz acknowledged that he believed $12 represented a peak at the time and saw no reason to buy back in, a decision he later regretted.
Crypto Dyl News used this example to suggest a possible parallel with XRP, raising the question of whether similar price movements could occur in the future.

He said “To be completely fair to me, at least a small part of my reasoning is that it had bounced between $0.70 and $1.00 a few times, so I figured I'd sell the next time it hit $1 and maybe buy back in when it… pic.twitter.com/5deFA08Hjw

Video Commentary Expands on XRP Price Expectations
In the video attached to the post, the commentator presented the Ethereum example as a cautionary account for current XRP holders. He stated that XRP could reach levels such as $12 or even $2,000, referencing Schwartz’s experience as a case in which market expectations were significantly underestimated.
The speaker also addressed recent interpretations of Schwartz’s remarks about high XRP valuations. He noted that some individuals had misrepresented earlier statements, particularly regarding the feasibility of extreme price targets. According to the video, Schwartz’s position focused more on market behavior and investor conviction rather than making direct predictions.
The commentary emphasized that Schwartz’s Ethereum trade illustrated how quickly market conditions can change, especially when investors rely on short-term patterns.
The speaker argued that many traders attempt to time the market by selling during perceived peaks, expecting to re-enter at lower levels. However, he warned that this approach can fail if prices continue rising without significant pullbacks.
Focus on Long-Term Holding Versus Short-Term Trading
The video further presented a broader argument about investor behavior in the cryptocurrency market. The commentator suggested that a large portion of market participants may repeat the same pattern described in Schwartz’s Ethereum experience, particularly with XRP.
He stated that some holders may sell at incremental price increases, assuming a reversal will follow, only to miss extended upward movements.
He also pointed to the possibility that long-term holders and institutional participants could accumulate assets during such periods, potentially benefiting from sustained price growth.
Overall, the tweet and accompanying video center on a single premise: past market experiences, such as Schwartz’s Ethereum trade, are being used to interpret current XRP expectations.
