Outcome

Inaccurate

No window was stated; inferred window is about two years (to late 2020), extended here to today. XRP, Ethereum and other major non-bitcoin coins did not go bust: XRP kept a multi-billion-dollar market cap through 2020 and was among the largest cryptocurrencies in 2025-2026. (Corrects earlier notes that had been attached to this record by mistake.)
