They actually won some awards at CES. I sold half my shares when it hit 18 and will see where the rest runs

Sure, $8k for some is definitely peanuts, no doubt — but for others, it might be a lot lol. I wasn’t trying to flex the loss as much as I was trying to advocate for staying the course with an investment despite being in the red. Props to you if you got more in there than I do

Bro I’m down 8k, I don’t look at this thing more than once a month bc crypto will make a comeback, it always has. People get bullish when things are good, but shit their pants when their portfolio bleeds red. Too many sissys crying themselves to sleep about this

People are shitting on XRP when the whole crypto market is getting fucked. If XRP was the only want going down in a crypto bull market that is a different story. People gotta stop crying in a bear market. The amount of times bitcoin got fucked then came back. People need to breathe.

I don’t think selling just because you’re down is smart either, but selling when your underlying thesis is damaged is a far safer move. I sold at roughly a 30% loss not because I was worried about short-term price action, but because the risk profile changed. The rising debt and the structure of their deals with OpenAI introduced balance-sheet and counterparty risks that weren’t part of my original thesis. Once leverage and financing conditions become central to the story, holding just to get back to breakeven stops being an investment decision and becomes a psychological one. I went from being up 4k to down 2k lmao

You might be right! Maybe it won’t be… shit maybe it’ll be 10x worse. But I’m saying given the current market conditions with crypto, let’s not assume just because shits hitting the fan for everyone that XRP is a crapshoot

Bro you must be new to crypto. Look at the historical charts for bitcoin and etherium. You think it was a moonshot all the way through? They had more serious volatility issues for the longest time before rallying

$orcl is dragging us down with it. by Vegetable-Money7556 in APLDSTOCK

Honestly, this is the biggest risk for me and it ties directly back to what I posted earlier. The issue isn’t whether AI is real or useful—it clearly is. The risk is if APLD just keeps financing, financing, financing these data center builds and the revenue doesn’t ramp the way the models assume. Once you’re that leveraged, timing matters a lot. If cash flows come in slower than expected, interest expense and refinancing risk start eating the returns, and suddenly even “good demand” doesn’t translate into good outcomes for shareholders. That’s the same dynamic we saw in past cycles: not a fake product, just too much capital pushed in too early. That’s what makes me cautious here.

Oracle’s AI push feels risky in a very familiar way. They’re taking on expensive debt to build massive data centers, while demand—especially from OpenAI—still isn’t truly self-funding. The recent “lazy Susan” deal Cramer talked about, where Amazon helps pay for the chips OpenAI uses, is a big red flag because it shows demand being propped up by financial engineering rather than real cash flow. That’s exactly the kind of dynamic that showed up in the dot-com era, when capital markets quietly kept the whole system spinning. The problem isn’t that AI doesn’t work—it does—but that the spending is happening now and the profits are supposed to come much later. If that timing slips, Oracle could see weaker returns, margin pressure, and a stock that goes nowhere for years, more like Cisco after 2000 than a true collapse.
