In a short video clip recently shared by crypto enthusiast Amelie on X, American businessman and Barstool Sports founder Dave Portnoy sparked a wave of discussions within the cryptocurrency community. In the video, Portnoy posed a thought-provoking question about XRP: “What if that is the next Bitcoin?” His remark has garnered significant attention, especially given his candidness and past encounters with cryptocurrency.A Personal Experience That Changed His PerspectivePortnoy’s contemplation about XRP appears to stem from a personal experience that left a lasting impression. Reflecting on a past incident, he shared how a Bitcoin investor outbid him when he attempted to purchase a property in Miami. This event highlighted for him the real-world financial power that cryptocurrencies, particularly Bitcoin, can wield. The incident left Portnoy considering whether XRP could one day hold similar financial significance.WOW! AMERICAN BUSINESSMAN DAVE PORTNOY ON XRP: “WHAT IF THAT IS THE NEXT BITCOIN?” #XRP pic.twitter.com/7wRKTeycQ0— Amelie (@_Crypto_Barbie) May 16, 2025Portnoy’s Investment in XRPKnown for his bold investment moves, Portnoy has recently increased his stake in XRP, the digital asset associated with Ripple Labs. In December 2024, he revealed that he held $1.3 million in XRP and $1.5 million in Bitcoin. By February 2025, amid a turbulent market, he invested an additional $1 million in XRP, underscoring his belief in its potential for substantial gains. As he put it, “As a gambler myself, I want the 10X coin like XRP. Bitcoin won’t do that anytime soon.”Why XRP? Understanding the AppealSeveral factors seem to fuel Portnoy’s optimism about XRP. A significant development is Ripple’s launch of RLUSD, a USD-backed stablecoin designed to enhance liquidity and streamline cross-border payments.

Many investors, including Portnoy, believe that a favorable resolution under the new SEC chairman, Paul Atkins, could be a major catalyst for XRP’s price growth.Strategic Thinking Amid Market VolatilityPortnoy’s approach to XRP exemplifies his high-risk, high-reward mindset. Rather than actively trading, he opts for a long-term hold, reflecting his belief that XRP could experience exponential growth similar to that of Bitcoin. His strategy, which he often described as “bet it and set it,” is rooted in the conviction that XRP’s utility and market potential make it a worthwhile gamble.Dave Portnoy’s public endorsement of XRP and his significant investment reflect a growing curiosity about the asset’s future. While his provocative question—“What if that is the next Bitcoin?”—remains speculative, it undoubtedly aligns with the broader conversation surrounding alternative cryptocurrencies. As XRP continues to evolve within the financial landscape, Portnoy’s interest serves as a reminder of the unpredictable and often surprising nature of the crypto market.Disclaimer: This content is meant to inform and should not be considered financial advice.
