In this candid YouTube monologue, Mason Versluis expresses exhaustion from repeatedly discussing XRP, recounts his own buying price (around $0.20‑$0.25) and the coin’s subsequent rise to over $2, and argues that the market has matured to a point where bullish or bearish news no longer significantly moves price. He emphasizes that the primary driver of price appreciation is holders not selling, framing buying and holding (essentially doing nothing) as the most reliable way to profit. The speaker acknowledges the fun of analyzing news but concludes that the work of research is done once one holds XRP, and the best strategy is to simply retain the asset.

I'm gonna be really honest with you guys. I am extremely tired of talking about XRP. I feel like I'm repeating myself constantly. I feel like no one wants to hear it anymore. I mean, even though we were screaming from the rooftops to buy this thing, or look into it at least— we don't really tell you what to buy, we just tell you what we're buying— at like 20 cents, right? 25 cents. XRP hung around 50 cents for so long, and now we're just comfortably above $2. So even though, like, most of you have made a lot of money holding XRP, no one wants to hear it anymore. No one cares, right? Every single piece of bullish news doesn't really move the price that much anymore. And same with negative news. Like, if there's a negative thing that comes out, it doesn't really move. So it's kind of maturing to the point where It doesn't matter what the news is. What they want to do is make sure you continue to hold, because what increases the price is people buying and holding. That's how XRP really goes up. It goes up from you not selling. So the main thing that they want to do is make sure that you do not sell your XRP. But it's also like the work is done. Like, if you know what you hold and you've done the research The work is done, right? It's fun to keep up with the news and fun to, you know, decode the news and see what's— try to see between the lines and all that. But at the end of the day, what's going to make you money, or could make you money, and has proven to make people money, is buying and holding. The best thing to do is usually nothing.
