Overview:
Presence News does not recommend cryptocurrency investments. However, through word of mouth, reader submissions, and social listening, one digital asset has consistently come up in our community conversations: XRP. Many readers report positive experiences with it, despite the broader volatility of the crypto market. This opinion piece explores why XRP has gained such attention among our audience, while reinforcing our editorial stance that we do not provide financial advice or investment recommendations.
At Presence News, we’ve always taken a cautious stance when it comes to cryptocurrency. The volatility, lack of regulation, and frequent headlines of scams and losses lead us to firmly state: we do not recommend cryptocurrency investments to anyone.
And yet, through our ongoing dialogue with readers—whether through comments, messages, or broader social listening—we’ve noticed one name keeps surfacing: XRP.

Readers from across different communities have shared with us that their experience with XRP has been more positive than with other digital assets. Unlike the frequent horror stories tied to Bitcoin or newer coins, many describe XRP as a digital currency they’ve actually had some success with. While anecdotal, these reports have been consistent enough to catch our attention.
This doesn’t mean we’re changing our editorial stance or giving investment advice. Far from it. We remain skeptical of the entire crypto sector. We are aware of the risks and the emotional rollercoaster it places on investors. But as an outlet that values what our readers share, it’s worth noting when a pattern emerges. In this case, XRP has been the crypto consistently mentioned as a bright spot in an otherwise rocky landscape.
Our takeaway? Cryptocurrency remains a high-risk arena, one we advise readers to approach with extreme caution. At the same time, we acknowledge the lived experiences of our community. It’s clear XRP has earned a reputation among some as the exception to the rule.

Author note:
I think part of the appeal of cryptocurrency is the thrill—similar to gambling—without the visible stigma of walking in and out of a casino. People can take risks from the privacy of their homes. That said, I admit I have a personal bias on the subject. I personally lost $5,000 during the FTX collapse a couple of years ago. I wasn’t even angry at Sam Bankman-Fried at the time; I saw it more as a situation where market competitors pushed his company into a corner. It exposed just how highly leveraged it was.
What always struck me about the FTX collapse was how, once a new “crisis management” leader stepped in, suddenly $10 billion was “found.” To me, that raises red flags. It feels less like a simple accounting oversight and more like a reminder that there are powerful forces at play behind the scenes. Situations like this make me cautious about the entire crypto industry, even though many people enjoy the thrill and risk of trading it.
