I hear ya. It doesn't feel right. In fact, I've probably seen so many periods of unrealistic FOMO that is unceremoniously discarded the next week (either purposely by whales, due to ignorance, or just plain bad luck) that I'm fairly numb to it. You follow some altcoin forums for a month, and you will see the pattern repeated multiple times. However, at the end of the day, I feel like that this is just part of the learning curve. If you look at a chart, see a coin at ascending vertically and don't question yourself before jumping in at the top, no amount of reasoned caution is gonna stop you from breathing the fomo. Only research, experience, & your own gut can guide you. I've been there. I've felt cheated whether it was purposeful or not. But in the end, it is up to me to make the best of this opportunity. Whatever the op's intentions, he has presented a moneymaking opportunity. It's your job to do the due diligence. The op doesn't know what the endgame is for Ripple. Study the history of the charts. By not hodling now, he could end up regretting it, while the current bag holders could end up relieved they didn't sell. Who knows. All I know is that ol dude presented the game and now its up to us to take advantage of it.
