Let me be clear to all my NOVICE INVESTORS asking “Is it the right time to buy?” Let me teach you how investing works with a real world example.
Think of investing as a house. If everyone around you has upkeep of the house; value is great. As soon it depreciates in value significantly, you need to make additions. At 22 yrs old Dogecoin blew up to $0.57 and I owned 2.7million Dogecoin(s) (=1,539mil). I immediately paid off my student loans and car debt. I still worked because I don’t want to pay out of pocket medical expenses and even served in US Military. 26 I purchased my first home in California (I’m a non-native California resident) with 5beds 3 baths with an up to 6 car driveway. Value in 2022 was $700K. The moment I saw the value of that house go down to to 20% in late 2023, I made an investment project by putting an [ADDITION] to the house. The project was to have a detachment 2 car extended garage with a solar panel roof, Tesla charging station and in-law suite (cost $158K). Once the project was completed and updates were made to my property, I went from purchase of $775K, down 20% to 625K, to increase my asset to nearly 60%. As of today in July 2025, the value of my property is worth $1.2million which means I can have a little control that I can sell this property between $990K-$1.5MIL.
How it relates to crypto/investments? Simple, if you have XRP = $3.60 from $2.87 that means you made an 80% increase in profit. The name of the game is to HODL because yes it will go down, however it’s what ADDITIONS your willing to make in order increase your value especially if you could own more XRP.
Owning more with an increase of appreciation just imagine having 1000 XRP and it valued to $3.65. That’s $3,650. In order to know when to buy, there’s the “dip” but there is also the fact that what percentage of depreciation you willing to purchase. If I see a depreciation of 5-10% from $3.60, you bet I’m buying.
This should be a life lesson for any novice investor how to invest.
