Since 1975—when precious metals traded at $5—I've watched countless market cycles unfold. One pattern keeps repeating: both XRP enthusiasts and silver speculators seem unusually susceptible to hype cycles. They bite hard on narratives, chase momentum aggressively, and struggle to exit before the reversal. What's driving this? Is it the retail-dominated nature of these markets? The emotional connection to "underdog" assets? Or perhaps the communities themselves amplify conviction bias? Curious if others have noticed this behavioral divergence across different trader types.

Haha, this is the common problem among retail investors. The ones who chase high and sell low are always us.

Bro, your words really hit home. I've seen quite a few of those XRP folks, and they are indeed easily brainwashed by stories.

On-chain data has long made it clear that retail investors chasing the trend can't hide their distribution of chips. During that XRP wave, the whales had already quietly reduced their positions at the top.

Haha, that's right. Retail investors just love being brainwashed by narratives. The XRP community is indeed easy to get hyped, with each one being a bottom-fishing fanatic. Silver and XRP actually follow the same pattern, both driven by the underdog mentality. The key is that when it’s time to exit, they become blind, only willing to sell when they’re caught. The term "conviction bias" is used perfectly here; the community's echo chamber is just an amplifier. The retail market is inherently prone to collective illusions; no one can escape it. But seeing from 75 years ago to now, these people are still repeating the same mistakes? Laugh out loud.

Haha, I knew it. That group of XRP people just love to tell stories. Honestly, retail investors are easily influenced, there's no way around it. It's just gambler's psychology—only willing to sell when it doubles. Silver and XRP are actually faith-based assets, no wonder they have the same vibe. Community echo chambers are deadly, everyone is just pumping each other up. Basically, it's still about not wanting to admit defeat—it's a mindset issue.
