Crypto markets operate in cycles, but investor memory often resets with each downturn. As prices fluctuate, familiar narratives resurface with striking consistency. Claims that certain assets are finished tend to appear whenever sentiment weakens, regardless of historical outcomes.
That frustration surfaced after Vet, an XRP Ledger validator, addressed recurring criticism in a post on X. He challenged what he described as collective amnesia among commentators who repeatedly declare XRP irrelevant whenever the market enters a corrective phase.
The Recycled “XRP Is Dead” Narrative
Vet called out critics who continue to claim that XRP has no future. He questioned how the same voices repeat these assertions after making identical predictions years earlier. According to him, each market cycle revives the same declarations, despite evidence that XRP continues to function and attract activity.
He framed this pattern as a failure to learn from history. Past downturns produced similar pessimism, yet XRP consistently remained part of the broader crypto landscape.
someone has to study the amnesia of the people with "this coin is dead" "XRP will never moon" "Its over"
like have you learned nothing since you said the same thing a few years ago?
you not gonna make it

XRP’s Track Record of Resilience
XRP has endured prolonged bear markets, regulatory uncertainty, and intense public scrutiny. Throughout these periods, the XRP Ledger has continued to process transactions, maintain validator participation, and support development. Vet pointed to this operational continuity as a key reason repeated claims of failure lack substance.
Historically, XRP has also experienced strong sentiment reversals following extended periods of doubt. Negative consensus has often preceded renewed interest once conditions stabilized.
Short-Term Focus Clouds Judgment
Vet argued that many detractors focus narrowly on short-term price action. This approach, he suggested, ignores infrastructure durability and long-term utility. When prices decline, emotion tends to replace analysis, leading to definitive but premature conclusions.

He stressed that markets routinely punish impatience. Traders who exit based on repeated “it’s over” narratives often miss recoveries that follow sentiment extremes.
A Direct Warning to Critics
Vet’s message carried a clear warning. He suggested that those who continue to dismiss XRP without reflecting on past misjudgments risk repeating the same mistakes. His remarks emphasized accountability rather than hype.
He did not claim that XRP’s future remains guaranteed. Instead, he urged critics to recognize that crypto markets rarely move in straight lines. Declaring finality in a cyclical market ignores how sentiment and adoption evolve.
For long-term observers, Vet’s comments reinforced a familiar lesson. Markets reward memory and discipline. They punish those who forget past outcomes. In XRP’s case, repeated survival continues to challenge the narrative that critics confidently revive each cycle.
