Obey.
That’s what I repeat to myself when I want to log off X and retreat to the comfort of being a lurker.
My entrance to X, formerly Twitter, was unceremonious. I wasn’t serious. I used the platform mostly to follow trends, observe, and stay informed.
Then, in late 2024,
@First_Ledger gave blue-collar XRP holders an angle.
Memecoins on chains like ETH and SOL had created incredible opportunities. So I decided to bid some of my coveted XRP, expecting to make a few small gains and hopefully multiply my stack.
I dabbled here and there. Some trades multiplied my XRP. Others taught me expensive lessons.
Then I came across a memecoin that immediately felt different. It wasn’t the meme that captivated me, it was what it represented.
The tokenized representation of the XRP
$ARMY.
I had to get a position, and I did, just under a $1M market cap. Within days,
$ARMY rocketed beyond $100M.
My first 100x.
I wrestled with taking profits, but then something happened that made me look at it differently. The creator of the official XRP logo,
@lobanovskiy, stepped in to assist with the redesign of
$ARMY.
My perspective changed. This was becoming bigger than the trade.
I participated in raids, became active in the TG, held through the volatility and watched the community grow. The team was made up of blue-collar XRP holders who had spent years waiting, believing and fighting.
But we desperately lacked something.
A voice.
As the universe would have it, I became that voice.
Obey.
I understood what came with representing the XRP Army. The grit, the patience, the knowing, the fight.
Since then,
$ARMY has gone on to achieve milestone after milestone, including becoming the first and only XRP token to surpass a $100M market cap - twice.
It hasn’t been easy, and we knew it wouldn’t be. We stayed ready for when our turn comes again.
Through the lessons of David Bayer, I learned a valuable lesson: when the universe shows you what it intends for you, don’t shy away from it.
Obey.
Today, 1,000 of you have decided to follow along. Thank you. 🫡
I hope to continue providing thoughtful content, speaking with conviction, and doing my part to lead the XRP
$ARMY toward where we rightfully belong.
1K is a milestone. But the story is just getting started. ⚔️
