Edoardo Farina, CEO of Alpha Lions Academy and a leading XRP advocate, recently shared an intriguing post on X. Following Bitcoin’s surge past $111,000. Farina compared potential returns from Bitcoin to those from XRP.
He emphasized that buying Bitcoin at current levels and expecting it to reach $500,000 would yield only a 355% gain, whereas buying XRP at $2.40 and seeing it rise to $100 would result in a 4,066% gain.
“Make the right choices,” he concluded, suggesting that while Bitcoin may seem like a good option, a critical look at both assets shows that XRP will give much better returns.
Let’s do some math:
Buy BTC at $110K, it goes to $500K → ~355% gain
Buy XRP at $2.40, it goes to $100 → 4,066% gainMake the right choices!

Bitcoin’s Limited Appeal to Retail Investors
In a linked YouTube video, Farina elaborated that Bitcoin no longer offers meaningful upside for most investors despite its new all-time high. He argues that most crypto holders do not own a full Bitcoin and are unlikely to see life-changing returns from the asset at current prices.
According to Farina, “Most investors don’t even have $10,000 in their bank accounts,” and buying BTC now provides limited growth potential compared to alternative digital assets. This limited growth is clear when comparing both assets, as a recent analysis showed that XRP has grown 490% since 2022, while Bitcoin has risen by only 10%.

Market Manipulation Concerns and Utility-Based Alternatives
Farina argues Bitcoin’s surge is driven by propaganda and low liquidity, not real demand. He claims manipulation via Tether (USDT) skews prices, and public celebration over Bitcoin reaching six figures is misplaced, as most investors won’t benefit.
Farina highlights XRP, XLM, HBAR, and Algorand as better risk-reward plays, citing their real-world utility and lower market caps. He notes XRP’s rise from $0.50 to $2.40 as a strong example.
He believes buying XRP at current prices is a no-brainer, and contrasts its growth with Bitcoin’s 30% gain during the same timeframe, despite significantly higher volatility and far lower upside.
Questioning Bitcoin’s Long-Term Viability
Farina questions Bitcoin’s long-term viability, citing high fees, poor scalability, and criticism from institutions like the IMF and ECB. He claims utility-based assets like XRP and XLM have more potential.
He recalls selling his car to invest in Bitcoin at $16,000, only to cash out at $64,000 for a 4x return. He says those gains were modest compared to his returns from XRP bought at lower prices. For new investors, he sees limited upside and advises focusing on undervalued projects with real-world use, not hype-driven legacy assets, as Bitcoin’s big gains have been in the past.
