I recently reviewed the performance of the three major cryptocurrencies since Trump took office on 01/20/2025. Honestly, the results are quite remarkable — the decline in (asset prices) of these assets since then has caused many to doubt.

Specifically, if someone had invested $10k in each at that time, how much would they have now? Bitcoin was at 101K then, now down to 77.7K — a drop of about 34%. Ethereum went from 3.2K to 2.31K — a loss of 38%. But XRP performed the worst — from $2.95 down to $1.44, a nearly 53% drop. If you invested $10K in XRP that day, you'd now have only about $4.9K.

The interesting part is that even though many are in the red, many experts remain optimistic. Some believe this dip is just a correction before a stronger upward cycle. Commentator Archie even predicts XRP could rise to $5–$10 once regulations become clearer, meaning a 7-fold profit from the current level. As for Bitcoin, some expect it to reach $1 million in the future, offering nearly 13 times the return.

In reality, the crypto market always moves in cycles — sometimes bad, sometimes good. The key question is whether you can tolerate the uncertainty and whether you have the patience to wait. That’s what determines success or failure, not just betting on forecasted numbers.
