You Need to Own At Least 1,000 XRP to Get Rich – Here’s Why!

Crypto YouTuber Austin Hilton, who has a solid following of over 343,000 subscribers, just dropped a video that's catching a lot of attention, especially among XRP holders.

Crypto YouTuber Austin Hilton, known for his no-nonsense style and engaging content, just dropped a video that's likely to pique the interest of his 343,000+ followers, especially those interested in XRP.

The conversation started from a tweet by Edo Farina, who said that owning 1,000 XRP is "non-negotiable" for anyone aiming for long-term financial success.

“If you care about your future financial success, owning at least 1,000 $XRP is NOT NEGOTIABLE. I’m not saying this lightly. To set ourselves up for wealth and abundance in this new era, we must make bold moves. Don’t get distracted by petty matters. Financial success begins with decisive action.”

The subject of the tweet was in response to a question asked by an X user to Farina about what crypto they should own.

"I'm not trying to be funny but if you want to be rich you need to own at least 1k XRP," Farina said in the tweet. "People get distracted by petty matters but if you care about your future financial success this is non negotiable."

The implication of the statement was that if the individual was interested in achieving financial success, then they should begin buying XRP in order to accumulate at least 1,000 tokens.

If you're aiming for financial success, owning at least 1,000 $XRP is NOT negotiable. I'm not saying this lightly. To set ourselves up for wealth and abundance in this new era, we must make bold moves. Don't get distracted by petty matters. Financial success begins with decisive action.

At the beginning of his video, covering topics ranging from Bitcoin and Ethereum to his own crypto journey, he said that he usually recommends three cryptos when asked which ones to pick.

"My top three recommendations are Bitcoin, Ethereum, and then XRP," said Hilton.

He clocked in on what it would take to buy 1,000 XRP at the current price.

"If you're thinking about buying some more XRP and you want to get to that magic number of 1,000, at today's price of about $2,160 per 1,000, you're looking at a total investment of about $2,160 to pick up 1,000 XRP."

According to his calculations, if XRP were to reach $20, which he thinks is "definitely possible," then that 1,000 XRP would be worth $20,000 in total.

"We're talking about a 736% return on your investment. Now, in the stock market, that kind of return would take years and years to achieve," he explained. "But in the crypto market, you can see returns like this in a fraction of the time."

He went on to factor in dollar-cost averaging as a way to slowly increase those holdings without going all-in at once.

"Now, you might be thinking, 'Well, Austin, can XRP really go to $20?' And I say, why not? We've seen XRP make some incredible price moves in the past. For example, back in 2019, we saw a 473% rally in just 84 days."

While noting that past performance isn't necessarily indicative of future results, he does believe that there's still room for another big run in XRP if you give it time.

"If you're able to dollar-cost average or buy the dips over the next year or two, I think you'll be looking at some serious gains."

Looking Back at XRP Price Huge Past Moves

Going back further in time, Hilton looked at the history of XRP’s price, especially its rise from $0.03 in early 2017 to $3.30 by January 2018.

"If you started with just $3,000 and bought the dips as it was going up, you could have turned that $3,000 into about $333,000 in less than two years," he explained. "And if you started with even less, say $1,000, you still would have ended up with over $100,000 in January 2018."

While he thinks that a move like that is unlikely again due to XRP's current size and maturity, he does believe that a 10x or even 50x is still possible long-term.

"I’m not saying this lightly, but if you care about your future financial success, then start buying some XRP today and aim to accumulate at least 1,000 tokens
