**XRP Critics Blasted as Missed Sub-$1 Opportunity Closes Amid Market Downturn**
*By Sam Wisdom Raphael | Follow TheCryptoBasic*
A crypto pundit has taken aim at XRP critics, arguing that those who ignored XRP when it traded under $1 and now complain about today’s prices are set to buy at the top, ultimately becoming the “exit liquidity.”
Despite facing downward pressure over the past few weeks, XRP has demonstrated more resilience compared to much of the broader crypto market. Over the last seven days, XRP has declined by 9.8%, but this is a notably smaller drop than major assets such as Ethereum (ETH) and Binance Coin (BNB), which have fallen 12.5% and 11.8% respectively.
### XRP Facing Widespread Criticism
Even with its comparatively better performance, XRP has drawn significant bearish sentiment lately. For example, in response to an analysis by CryptoInsightUK amid the ongoing price decline, an investor claimed XRP “always disappoints,” noting that the coin has consistently fallen since its November 2024 rally.
Interestingly, XRP supporter Baron Dominus has also criticized its price action. On October 30, Dominus expressed concerns that something was amiss with XRP’s market behavior, alleging that Ripple founders were selling while XRP’s price should have been rising. He even stated, “The days of XRP may be over.”
### Ignored Sub-$1 Opportunity Now Closed
Amid these critiques, media personality Oscar Ramos suggested that many investors who continue to criticize XRP are those who missed the chance to buy it below $1 and failed to seize the opportunity.
To provide context, after peaking at $3.31 in January 2018, XRP entered a prolonged bearish phase. During this time, XRP mostly traded between $0.30 and $0.60, rarely rising above $1, except for a brief surge to $1.96 in April 2021. This sub-$1 period lasted nearly seven years, during which some investors wrote off the coin while others accumulated.
The tide turned in November 2024 when XRP outperformed the broader market following the U.S. elections. Now that the opportunity to buy XRP below $1 appears gone, Ramos believes the critics are simply “haters” — those who ignored XRP at low prices but are now complaining about the current price after jumping in during the recent rally without seeing significant gains.
“These investors end up buying the top,” Ramos said. “Thanks to exit liquidity.”
### Different Perspectives Emerge
Not everyone agrees with Ramos’ take. For example, a community member named “Tadi” pointed out that other major cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin, Solana, and Ethereum also experienced low price phases, yet investors who missed those opportunities are now happily accumulating. According to Tadi, the dislike toward XRP is not due to missed low-price buys but because XRP is perceived as “an overrated coin.”
Meanwhile, XRP currently trades around $2.23. Some analysts, including Income Sharks, believe those who missed buying XRP under $2 may soon get another buying opportunity. Finance expert Coach JV has also described XRP trading under $2 as a “blessing.”
