Edoardo Farina, a well-known figure in the cryptocurrency community, recently shared a post on X claiming that if every Bitcoin maximalist could go back to when Bitcoin was priced at $50,000 and XRP at $0.5, they would sell all their BTC for XRP.
His statement draws attention to the significant price changes both assets have experienced since that point, and the implication is clear: XRP has outperformed Bitcoin.
If every single BTC maxi could go back in time back when BTC was $50,000 and $XRP 0.50$, they would sell ALL for XRP.
Let that sink in.

Bitcoin currently trades at $101,859, while XRP stands at $2.50. Bitcoin’s rise from $50,000 to $101,859 reflects a gain of approximately 103.7%. In contrast, XRP has increased from $0.50 to $2.50, representing a 400% return. Based on these figures, XRP has generated nearly four times the return of Bitcoin over the same period.
Community Reactions Emphasize Sentiment Shift
Recent reports show that XRP has outperformed Ethereum for more than five consecutive months, and deeper analysis like this shows that it is a superior investment to Bitcoin. Farina’s post resonated with several members of the crypto community, many of whom shared similar sentiments.
One user remarked that the asset is poised to “return to $3 this week,” expressing confidence in further short-term gains. It recently experienced a resurgence caused by Donald Trump’s announcement of a trade agreement between the U.S. and the U.K. With its current momentum, breaking above $3 again is likely.
Another community member stated that he had previously identified as a Bitcoin maximalist but chose to exit his BTC position before President Trump took office, reallocating to XRP with no regrets. These comments highlight a growing sense among some investors that XRP offers better opportunities than Bitcoin.

XRP Outpaces Bitcoin Massively
While Bitcoin remains the dominant cryptocurrency by market capitalization, the performance gap in this specific timeframe has renewed attention on XRP. This trend goes back much further, as a well-respected analyst recently drew attention to XRP’s 490% growth since 2022, much higher than Bitcoin’s 10% growth in the same period.
Investors prioritizing percentage returns over asset prestige have seen XRP deliver higher yields. As more people see its potential, BTC will continue losing investors to the altcoin.
Farina has always advised crypto enthusiasts to buy and hold XRP, previously describing the asset as a sleeping giant. The digital asset’s performance shows that his faith in it is not misplaced, and we could see more soon.
