PREVAILING WISDOM SAID I WAS WRONG John Neff: "You have to be willing to hang in when the prevailing wisdom says you're wrong. That's not instinctive; more often than not, it goes against instinct." I felt that line in my bones, when I found this quote. Prevailing wisdom said #crypto was a fad. Next…crypto was "over." Then…if the product was real, the price would already show it. I kept on thinking about this…but kept my reasons anyway. Not because I enjoy being the odd one out…but because conviction that only survives agreement, was never conviction. Neff's point wasn't "be stubborn for sport." It was perseverance after the homework. Hang in when the crowd is loud... If your thesis still stands when you strip the noise away. My thesis for $XRP was never a weekend prediction. It was a boring bet on how value should move when borders, time zones and closed banks stop being a good excuse. Some days prevailing wisdom still laughs. Some days the product news lands and the chart shrugs. I don't need the laugh to stop first. I need my reasons to still be true. “Hang in” is not a slogan. It's the part that goes against instinct. $XRP
