Informal ranking systems within the XRP community have emerged as a way for holders to gauge their contribution and commitment. Recent activity by XRP Update has revisited these systems, classifying individuals on a scale ranging from “worms” with just one token to “big whales” holding 100,000 XRP or more. While intended as light-hearted engagement, the post prompted discussions about the true significance of these classifications. As many see themselves aligning with specific tiers, others question whether this level commitment translates to lasting investment strategies, especially in volatile market conditions. One user’s concern focuses on maintaining a particular tier long term, highlighting the need for a blend of short-term accumulation and sustainable holding.
