If XRP Is Faster and Cheaper, Why Isn't Everyone Using It?

Who Is Bearableguy123? XRP Prophet, Skilled Speculator or a Case Study in Pattern-Matching?
Bearableguy123 became a legendary anonymous figure in XRP culture through cryptic images and predictions. The interesting question is not whether every clue was nonsense, but how much can actually be tested.
