XRP by Far: How Ripples David Schwartz Makes His Biggest Profit Despite Selling Too Early
David Schwartz, Ripples CTO Emeritus and now an honorary member of the renewed XRPL Foundation, responded on social platform X to a user question about which digital asset had generated the biggest profit for him, and, “by far,” it was XRP. Notably, the chief architect of XRP Ledger openly describes himself as excessively conservative. Reflecting on what advice he would give to his younger self before entering the industry, Schwartz said he would tell himself to take more risks, though he admitted he still likely would not have followed that advice. The math behind David Schwartzs XRP holding strategy Schwartz had previously disclosed the structure of his historical holdings, which explains his current conclusions. At the peak of his accumulation, Schwartz held 26,000,000 XRP, for which he converted his Bitcoin and Ethereum reserves. At the same time, Schwartz still considers himself an extremely cautious investor. Once XRP reached the $0.10 mark, the amount of capital at risk – $2.6 million at the time – became psychologically uncomfortable for him. Because of his aversion to risk, he and his wife decided to systematically sell portions of their holdings each time XRP reached a new all-time high.
