In an X post on May 14, he expressed deep frustration over the behavior of most XRP holders, <\/span><a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/mrcauliman\/status\/2054792577107591220?s=46\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">noting<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> that a large portion of the community is consumed by <\/span><a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/bitcoinist.com\/xrp-could-reach-the-12-mark\/amp\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">price predictions<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">, influencer opinions, and emotional reactions to market movements.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">He said that investors keep asking how to use their XRP and how to make money with it, yet spend no real time studying the network or the builders working on it. MrCauliman believes that this mindset is holding many people back from earning a steady income from the XRP ecosystem.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">He urged the community to wake up and stop being emotionally impatient and complaining about <\/span><a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/bitcoinist.com\/why-xrp-keeps-crashing\/amp\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">slow price growth<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">. Having built on rival networks such as Solana, MrCauliman now focuses heavily on the XRP Ledger because he believes it is unique. He noted that too many investors are buried in noise and fantasy math that comes with price forecasts and hopes of a <\/span><a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/bitcoinist.com\/xrp-wont-change-your-life\/amp\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">life-changing rally<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">.<\/span><\/p>\n<figure style=\"width: 1814px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><figcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">XRP is currently trading at $1.40. Chart: <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.tradingview.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">TradingView<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The developer also explained that anxiety around XRP comes from holding the asset without understanding it, and confidence comes from actively using it. He advised people to tune out the noise and study the builders creating real tools on the blockchain ledger. He believes that once investors start <\/span><a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/bitcoinist.com\/ripples-100000-transactions\/amp\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">using the XRP Ledger for daily transactions<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">, they will stop treating the asset like a lottery ticket and start viewing it as working capital.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2 id=\"ftoc-heading-2\" class=\"ftwp-heading\"><b>How XRP Can Benefit Holders Beyond Price Action<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">To show what true utility and engagement look like, MrCauliman pointed to his own ecosystem and active projects running on the XRPL as proof that XRP can be put to work rather than simply held. But beyond his own work, he laid out several ways everyday investors can do the same.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">He urged holders to learn how the XRP Ledger actually works from the inside. This means getting familiar with its <\/span><a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/bitcoinist.com\/clarity-act-is-a-win-for-xrp\/amp\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">self-custody tools<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">, using<\/span><a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/bitcoinist.com\/only-one-xrp-wallet-cardano-glacier-airdrop\/amp\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> wallets like Xaman<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">, trading on the blockchain\u2019s built-in decentralized exchange, setting up trust lines, and exploring NFTs and <\/span><a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/bitcoinist.com\/amm-liquidity-pools-for-xrp\/amp\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">automated market makers (AMM)<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> on the ledger. He also suggested looking into tools like the Uphold card, which allows users to spend and earn XRP through everyday activities.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><h2 class=\"jeg_block_title\"><span>Related Reading<\/span><\/h2>\n<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">MrCauliman\u2019s core message is that XRP is already a legitimate, working financial tool for those willing to use it. He said that investors can spend it where it makes sense, and even <\/span><a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/bitcoinist.com\/earn-income-on-xrp-holdings\/amp\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">earn it through available platforms<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">. Instead of waiting idly for the price to jump, he urges holders to move with intention within the ecosystem while keeping control of their bags. He acknowledged that there are many opportunities for XRP holders, but many are just too focused on the price chart to notice.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><em>Featured image from Pexels, chart from TradingView<\/em><\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A crypto analyst is criticizing XRP investors for only holding the cryptocurrency without making proper use of it.
