If you have bought XRP at the end of December 2017, January 2018, chances are part of your XRP holding is still under water, if you would sell this moment. Yes, I know Dollar Cost Averaging (Dollar-Cost-Averaging is a simple technique that entails investing a fixed amount of money in the same fund or stock at regular intervals over a long period of time; 401K's use this technique).
