XRP proponents urge bold bets
Scrubs, known for his extreme XRP optimism, previously predicted that XRP would surpass Bitcoin and Ethereum within five years. He reignited that view this week by telling investors to sell Bitcoin. Ethereum, ZCash and Dogecoin – essentially ‘sell everything’ – and switch to XRP. The statement quickly went viral and drew responses from multiple crypto communities.
X user Caspian responded saying it wasn’t meant literally. He added that it was about aligning belief with action: if investors really see value in XRP, they must act with conviction. “Own your stack, protect it, and stay ready,” he wrote.
Sell your house. Sell your bed. Sell your children. Sell your cardboard box. Sell your clothes.

‘Sell your house, bed and children and buy XRP’
Vibhu Norby joined the thread with satire. He joked, “Sell your house, bed, kids, cardboard box, clothes and buy XRP,” making it clear that he was mocking the hype rather than endorsing it.
Another user, Slorg, claimed he had already gone all-in and asked what step he should take next. Norby responded that the next step was to wait for big companies like BlackRock and Mastercard to tokenize trillions in assets, potentially pushing XRP to $1,000.
Despite the humor, the exchange highlighted the community’s genuine optimism about institutional commitment and the possibility of massive price growth.
Ripple financing and institutional moves
Ripple added fuel to the discussion by announcing a $500 million funding round during its Swell 2025 event. Investors included Galaxy Digital, Fortress, Brevan Howard and Pantera Capital. Ripple CEO Brad Garlinghouse said the investment reaffirmed confidence in a company “built on the foundations of XRP.”
Reports also indicated that Ripple partnered with Mastercard to use RLUSD on XRPL for fiat settlement, while Ripple Prime integrates XRP for institutional transfers. These developments gave long-term holders more reason to continue to have confidence in XRP.

Engineer Vincent Van Code responded, saying it would take “a serious belief – or a mental illness” not to sell when the price moves.
It’s no surprise that the mix of irony, crazy predictions and institutional news keeps XRP relevant.
For some of them, the “sell your house” comments are simply exaggerated, but it shows the passion and belief of the XRP community, who have planned and endorsed their position, and have continued to show the strength of their will no matter how volatile the
