XRP is not even deflationary. So, you're holding something that dilutes you quite frequently

Soft_Replacement_137

XRP is designed to be used for payments and liquidity. If XRP's price is higher, then larger-value transactions can be executed with less XRP, reducing the liquidity requirements on exchanges and improving efficiency. 1. Liquidity and Market Depth When an asset like Bitcoin (BTC) is low in price (e.g., $300), a large transaction -like buying a home- requires many BTC, Moving a large amount of BTC through an exchange or on-chain when it's low in price can significantly impact the market price, known as 'slippage: This makes the transaction more expensive and inefficient. In Simple Terms: "When the price goes up, it takes fewer tokens to move big money--so payments become smoother, faster, and cheaper." LOCK IN!

I’ve seen folks play around with swapping into altcoins like XRP, but I’ve also watched many hold onto Bitcoin and Ethereum as solid base layers. Ultimately, it comes down to your own comfort with risk and learning the ropes of each project. This is just my two cents.

Emergency_Egg1281

You will not lose on AERO , ZETACHAIN , CORECHAIN , XRP , XLM , HBAR, etc. Even Vechain will finally see some gains.

LOAD UP NOW !! you are getting everything cheap, except BTC. Things are going to pop off JULY 14TH. There is about to be a major announcement about building crypto reserves in the U.S. I know people close to this issue. I can't even say more about it. Im accumulating as many quality ALTS that are currently way under valued or close to their ATL. And all you XRP fans , you will finally see it move again in mid-July !! Roast me here if im wrong !!! Good luck , make that money !!

Yup, I just took my L and consolidated from 90% btc to 99% btc. Kept a bit in SOL and XRP so I won’t have the same level of FOMO, but I have no expectations.

Arthur Britto was fascinated by cryptic messages back in 1980.  He created a game called "Crypt of Medea," with a lot of hidden symbols and messages. Everything are symbols and cryptic.  He created Bitcoin and then moved on other things now known now as "Ripple & XRP". Arthur is "Dan Brown" of the crypto world.

If BlackRock launches Solana and XRP ETFs, that’s a big step toward bringing altcoins into the mainstream. Just to clear things up, this doesn’t mean BlackRock is trading Solana or XRP on their own. They only buy when people invest in the ETF, and they only sell when investors pull out. It’s not the same as them flipping coins for profit. If this really takes off and we see some altcoin pumps, Jumper Exchange will be super useful for quick and easy swaps across chains. Could get wild fast.

The problem with that, is that. RLUSD barely operates on the XRPL. The vast majority lives on Eth and has never even seen the XRPL. https://defillama.com/stablecoin/ripple-usd And even with he pitiful amount of RLUSD on the ledger, XRP is devalued to just a gas token. On a chain with no volume, or TVL. So relatively valueless.

Arismic

Never said they are dumping it on them. Please read again to understand the difference. Per the SEC lawsuit dispositions, Ripple had an email discussing they were aware of their partners who got XRP from them for a lower price were dumping it on retail. Meaning Escrow released XRP from Ripple getting indirectly dumped in retail.

Arismic

Ripple is making billions of $ every year using XRP in escrow. There is literally no reason for them to burn XRP unless the community is forcing them. Given the history, the community is always a Ripple cult. They would accept everything Ripple does including Ripple indirectly dumping it on them.

pilatesfarter

Gas in a different sense than, say, the Ethereum Network. The fee is just a mXRP so ‘gas fees’ remain low, but the settlement ALSO takes place in XRP. And not to misconstrue the truth, the XRPL can settle transactions using other currencies, it just prefers its native token.

Usual-Ad3082

No one's coin as of now has all of the solutions. Bitcoin is slow and lighting is only a temporary stop gap, ETH is slow and is more app based, XRP seemingly had the rug pulled out from underneath them which caused their momentum to stop and yeah ripple owns about 45% of the coins and there are tons of other coins that will never get off the launch pad. Bitcoin has been backed by institutions but that can change very fast as technology does. Keep in mind we are talking about technology no one drives around a Model T as their daily driver. That's Bitcoin. ETH has a ton of issues but they are working through them and seem to at least keep themselves in the conversation. SOL was very popular because it was used as a currency to buy meme coins but that is slowly dying. XRP is interesting but it's as if no one but people in the community know about it. It has had a lot of claims that BOA is using their network and BOA never denied it. It's also having some issues with institution adoption. I will say this if Cryptocurrency's future is payments they are the leader as of now but that means nothing because of technology. Bitcoin maxis really only looks at it as a currency that's value will only continue to grow faster than any other form and that's not how currencies really work. It's also expensive to own so they offer fractions which is not practical. Bitcoin has no way to evolve or grow it can really only maintain so I believe it won't 10x in the next 5 years. People will get bored with it. A company called strategy is heavily invested in them which could eventually Doom that company. Once that company is gone Bitcoin could have a massive fall. The risk vs reward ran out once it reached 100k.

You XRP guys just can't stop scamming people. Iraq is NOT moving its dinar to XRPL or interacting with it in any manner whatsoever.     > There is no definitive evidence that Iraq is moving its dinar to the XRP Ledger (XRPL). Claims about such a transition largely stem from speculative posts on X and certain crypto-focused websites, which suggest a connection between the Iraqi dinar (IQD) and XRP, Ripple’s cryptocurrency. These sources often cite Iraq’s efforts to modernize its banking system, adopt digital payment systems, and integrate with international financial networks as potential indicators of XRPL adoption. For instance, some posts on X claim that Iraq’s push for a “digital dinar” or its integration into ISO20022-compliant systems could involve Ripple’s technology, which supports fast, low-cost cross-border transactions. > However, these claims lack corroboration from official sources like the Central Bank of Iraq (CBI) or Ripple itself. The CBI has focused on economic reforms, including reducing reliance on the U.S. dollar, combating financial crimes, and modernizing banking infrastructure, such as deploying new AML systems and ATMs. There’s mention of Iraq exploring a “digital dinar” to address liquidity issues and reduce speculation in the parallel market, but no concrete details confirm the use of XRPL specifically. > On the other hand, Ripple’s XRP has been paired with the Iraqi dinar on some forex and crypto exchanges, like Barchart.com and CoinMENA, which has fueled speculation about growing XRP adoption in Iraq. These pairings reflect market interest rather than an official move by Iraq to integrate the dinar with XRPL. Google Trends data from 2023 showed a spike in XRP interest in Iraq, but this is not evidence of governmental policy. > Skeptically, the narrative of Iraq adopting XRPL seems driven by crypto enthusiasts and speculative investors rather than grounded in verified policy decisions. Iraq’s economic challenges, including currency devaluation and oil dependency, make a full transition to a blockchain like XRPL unlikely without significant infrastructure changes and international coordination. The CBI’s focus appears to be on stabilizing the dinar and integrating with global financial systems, not necessarily adopting cryptocurrency ledgers.   -Grok

100% Bitcoin. I did this recently. I originally thought of spreading across bitcoin, ETH, sol and XRP. I quickly changed my mind, sold the others and now have it all in Bitcoin.

marcafe

I am not holding BTC, even though all metrics are showing it is the best bet. In my eyes, BTC is overvalued. I am more enthusiastic about Ethereum, and ETH is actually not the best tech by a long shot. For me, Algorand is probably most undervalued and underrated, with a strong tech. Cardano is also undervalued and underutilized, and XRP is for no other reason than because of the amount of money that is pouring into the lawsuit, the whole conversation about the cross-border payments, etc. There are many projects currently showing potential, but we have no idea what will come on top. It is worth remembering that the VHS was dominating Betamax back in the day, and it was an inferior technology. It isn't the same game, but my point is that there is a cloud of uncertainty. BTC may be your best bet, but I am personally looking at the technology, and I am governed by that. Having said all this, the recommendation would be: 1. BTC 30% 2. ETH 40% 3. Cardano 10% 4. Algorand 10% 5. Hedera 10% I am out of the meme coins completely, so I don't recommend them. Alternatively, you could pour everything into Algorand and buy as many coins as possible, a minimum being 30.000 Algo, and do staking from your computer, which is easy. You will be getting rewards for that at approximately 5.8% annually in Algo.

DorkyDorkington

Depends what you want. If you are looking for small to medium gains with average risk then BTC, ETH and SOL like you said. If you want to have a chance at getting huge gains with high risk then you could add a selection of projects that currently have a small market cap but a reasonable actual use case and at least functional, proven tech with some level of adoption/partners or investors, collaborators among large corporations. There are many but it takes some effort to find them. Some interesting ones could be AMP, IMX, XRP, Render and Chainlink just to name a few with different use cases/funtionality. Once you start looking into the field and really finding out what these projects offer a whole new world will open for you. However it is still early and many will fail... but some will likely succeed, some fail and some ancient ones will also likely fade out at some point. For starters stop thinking about various tokens as just "coins" or crypto money.

I agree that there will be a significant jump in the future. But what sells me is the 17-21 (?) XRP ETF applications out there. Major money minds are in line to create an XRP ETF. That tells that they know something big is going to happen. In addition, at least 4 different firms are set to create XRP treasuries - totalling about $400 million dollars. I believe these entities have done their research and see a rosy future for this crypto and holders of this crypto.

I think USDT is a way to get access to the de facto global currency the dollar. If your local currency is inflating you can lock your wealth into USDT and protect it. But the Dollar is also inflating and losing value but at a lower rate. USDT is very liquid. On the other hand BTC has a fixed supply and can only go up. Same with XRP, XLM etc. The crypto that wins will be the one that has great price feeds that are secure, a full smart contract suit and interoperability with other block chains and trad finance. We don't know which of the contenders is best in my opinion. But I do think secure accurate price feeds and data are critical. I like FLR.

Money-Maker3333

All LLMs cant think outside the box like humans do. You could try it again with more sources for the LLMs to understand it better. Also it would be interesting to make an deep research with the LLMs to compare Kaspa with every other Crypto like Bitcoin, Ethereum, Solana, XRP and also your Nano. Would be interesting to see if the LLMs understand why Kaspa is superior to any other Crypto out there.

Ripple can't sell use cases for XRP to institutions because institutions have tried using the XRP lendger and know it's garbage. Major banks have literally *been paid by Ripple Labs* to pilot XRPL and every single one comes back and says Ripple Labs' software for remittances is okay, but the actual XRP blockchain is clunky and way too expensive. Why the fuck would any bank in world transfer funds with something so volatile? Because if they didn't, they wouldn't get retail chumps like ya'll to buy it with false promises of making millions one day. They are literally using your investments into XRPL to fund their *other projects that are not even related to the XRPL.* You're getting memed on by banks and sucking their dicks for honor of buying their dogshit blockchain.

Timely_Trouble8258

XRP is a literal predatory scam on rubes that is still going strong in 2025. Step 1: Ripple makes some BS hype announcements about something that only benefits Ripple. Step 2: Ripple sells you their XRP, which they got for free. You hand Ripple your hard-earned cash. Step 3: Ripple takes your cash and acquires a real business (Hidden Road, Circle, Ripple partnerships, etc). Step 4: Ripple internalizes the spoils of that acquisition with the private shareholders of Ripple Labs; not the XRP meme coin holders who capitalized it. You're so gullible that you are buying Micky Mouse souvenir cups, but you think you're a Disney shareholder. But, you're spreading this mistaken news about how these Micky Mouse cups are valuable because they came from Disney, that you're now actually spiking the price of Micky Mouse souvenir cups, despite the fact that they give you no exposure to the financial performance of Disney. Walt Disney himself is literally even telling you that Disney executives only care and work for Disney stock holders and care absolutely zero about Micky Mouse souvenir cup holders, but the cup holders are unphased by such comments. They think FUD is being spread to keep the price low, so that the secret cabal that needs the Micky Mouse souvenir cups has more time to accumulate them at lower prices. This is you in a nutshell! Ok, bud

kill-dill

None of these institutions have integrated XRP into their operations at all. 0. Some "use" Ripplenet to test it our, but not as their main platform. Others took ripple marketing money to simlly look into ripplenet so that ripple can call them "partners". Notice how you never hear the banks talk about ripple? It's always ripple and random people. That's because not 1 bank has integrated ripple to be a meaningful part of their operations.

I had a buddy who made it to a half coin. Sold it all for XRP. I tried my best to talk him out of it, but he wasn't having it. I don't even bring it up to him now. He knows how bad he fucked up.

pilatesfarter

My understanding is that XRP is the preferred settlement method on the XRPL. That’s per David Schwartz and other Ripple team memebers.

IcyDragonFire

Delusional. What's fading is "payment" currencies like BTC, LTC, XRP, etc.     Stablecoins and defi layers built upon them are the future of crypto.

IcyDragonFire

RLUSD isn't going to promote XRP's price.    XRPL is a ghost chain and no one cares about txing it there, and even on Ethereum the demand for it is minimal.   > all other coins other then bitcoin look like crap.    Lol. Ripple is so irrelevant that even Circle refused to sell to it. Good luck holding to zero.

IcyDragonFire

> So your telling me there no value in sending money the fastest way while also the cheapest way is no value      No, I'm not saying that.    But XRP has nothing to do with this usecase. Stablecoins are the (very-near and long-term) future of payments and remittances.   

MaleficentPrune652

Interesting take, I've seen legal clarity spur gradual growth in some crypto, so your ideas on XRP's deflationary play are intriguing but I'm just watching. Stay curious.

Seems to be a lot of action. Companies using or piloting XRP for cross-border payments/settlements: American Express: Uses RippleNet for international payments. Bank of America: A partner testing Ripple solutions to enhance payment systems. PNC Financial Services: Uses RippleNet for cross-border payments. Frankenmuth Credit Union: Has included XRP in its crypto portal.

The counter party risk you say Ripple are trying to solve, does XRP have a role in this, or will it be solved through the other suite of products Ripple offer? Thanks

DarvasLivermore

Love the message here. We need more projects that stand for *something* — not just chasing liquidity with zero backbone. But let me offer you a parallel thought: There’s another project that just hit the crypto space with *real teeth* — and it’s not just culture-driven, it’s plugging directly into the world’s financial bloodstream. It’s called **WhiteRock** — built using **XRP Ledger tech**, integrated directly with **SWIFT (11,000+ banks)** and **VISA**. They're already tokenizing Tesla, Apple, Meta stock on-chain. 24/7 tradable. Not hypotheticals — it’s *live now*. Their native token is $WHITENET — think $ETH or $SOL, but laser-focused on powering the next generation of tokenized real-world assets. Not hype. Not vibes. Just pure execution. They’ve already raised over **$100M** in their Fair Token Launch. No VCs. No lockups. Just early public access and a damn clean shot at backing the tech layer of the next financial system. This week alone? $WHITENET is up **249%**, while the rest of the market bleeds. If you’re into projects that *don’t apologize*, don’t beg for approval, and are building a system parallel to the old guard — this one’s it. Here’s how to get in *before* listings: --- 🎯 **HOW TO JOIN THE $WHITENET FAIR LAUNCH:** 1. Go to the [**Official White Network Fair Token Launch**](https://network.whiterock.fi/contribute?ref=GAS) 2. The referral code `GAS` should auto-fill   → You **must** see “APPLIED” in green after hitting **Connect to-the-right** → If not, type it in manually — **no green = no bonus** 3. Use the **bottom Connect button** to complete your swap 4. Swap $ETH or $SOL for $WHITENET   (XRP support is coming soon) When you swap, you unlock: ✅ 5% instant bonus   💰 30% early contributor ref reward   🚀 Access before public listings --- This is how early adopters win. Not by waiting. Not by playing it safe. You want a movement with real-world power backing it? I think you’ll want to take a serious look at this one.

New_Studio_3230

That's what I thought, if you send say $100 USD stablecoin to a European bank, it will land in their account as dollars hence, if they actually want to spend Euros they will need to convert it and XRP is the bridge to do this? This is my understanding of it anyway. If this is not correct how does a USD stablecoin convert to EUR stablecoin?

New_Studio_3230

How would you convert a USD stablecoin to a GBP or EUR stablecoin? Doesn't the use case for XRP still exist for this purpose?

pilatesfarter

You’re incoherent, and I’m unemotional about my speculation. It’s clear you don’t understand the mechanics. Stable coins settle using XRP on the XRPL. That includes both RLUSD and USDC. Stable coins are just the on-ramp. Facts are facts and opinions are opinions. Sorry you missed out.

I do understand, i know it is easier for coopers like yourself to belittle people because you have an emotional investment, but no big institutions is going to buy XRP retail, it is just not going to happen. XRP had a great run and now it is done... Enjoy your profit before it goes back to its actual value of $0.50- mark this post and give me my props when the day comes.

Escapement_Watch

XRP could probably hit 5 to $8 this year realistically. Remember it is up at least 6% this year and 350% in 2024. I like the fact that it has some real world usage like Dubai right now you can buy real estate with it which is very cool And a major bank in Dubai accepts it so that's real world adoption so that's worth something But I don't think XRP will ever surpass 20 bucks let's say in the next 20 years

kachol

I was an XRP fan for a while as well but after seeing all the news and paying attention to the developments I've pulled all my XRP. XRP maxis are no different than BTC maxis except that BTC will really just go up. XRP is very unlikely to hit even 50$ unless something drastic changes in their tokenomics. I know everyone wants to believe the sensationalist news and youtubers but we wont be seeing a 5000$ XRP and its not going to change the whole financial world.

pilatesfarter

These people don’t understand the basic mechanics of the XRP token with respect to the XRPL.

HonestPineapple4848

XRP is trash, Ripple will keep dumping on retail as usual to fund their other projects.

OkCantaloupe4959

That's a lot of Q anon tier research. It doesn't change the fact XRP's use case as a bridge currency no longer exists. As stable coins are far superior solution. Do some research about payment V Payment and delivery V Payment transactions.

Scottex99

Nobody cares about XRP except for barbers, Uber drives and assorted other retail noobs. They were early and now you don’t need to go in and out of XRP when you can just use USDT/C. Why is Tether doing more daily transactions than Visa? Why has Circle like 5xd straight off the IPO (or whatever the number is)? Why did XRP look at buying Circle if they have this mega bank integration? They were early, Brad got insanely rich and they’ll just dump on retail forever, it hasn’t even got back to 2017 ATH yet. Just buy BTC and come back in 4 years

The ironic thing about alts is that the most promising top 10 of today could move to be worthless trash on the 4th page of coinmarketcap just few years from now. I put everything into XEM back then because it was looking parallel to XRP's chart and they would go up and down together. XEM did almost hit $2 and I "almost" was rich, but you couldn't find an exchange that would let you trade it that high. So I held it, thinking it actually deserved it's place in the top 10. It started to sink but I thought of myself as having strong hands and faith and it will surely rise up again. Now it's worth less than 1 cent, and I still have it, my investment is nothing, less than I originally bought it when it was 6 cents. Alts are the games that bitcoin holders play while they are waiting for BTC to slowly rise. I will never trust or invest in an alt again.

Arcanerocket

Fair take if you think the whole alt space is trash respect the consistency. But lumping IOTA with XRP? One’s a monopoly token with court baggage, the other’s actually decentralized and building infra quietly without dumping bags on retail.

Arcanerocket

Exactly that was the exit ramp for the insiders, not the believers. Still wild how folks ignore that XRP’s basically controlled by a corporate stash. IOTA’s not flashy, but at least it's not quietly unloading on its own holders.

airwavieee

IOTA is just as much garbage as XRP. Like basically every alt.

Arcanerocket

Fair point on market weakness, but XRP/BTC is only irrelevant if you ignore how centralized XRP really is. Even if it breaks out, 50%+ founder control isn't exactly a bullish signal — IOTA’s a better bet if you care about real value, not just charts.

Long response: Myself, and only me. I can tell you the popular opinions are almost always wrong about everything. Especially on Reddit. Double so this sub. People here have no idea how to invest and know even less about the tech. Most everyone is the blind following the blind because they think if enough other people are following someone they must know what they are talking about. 🤣. Nah, the KOL's are mostly just dumb tribal personalities with charisma at best or smart traders leveraging their platforms to trade against you, at worst. If you would have followed crypto Reddit from the start you would have been convinced in semi order for over the past decade (The majority only shifted opinions after they could no longer argue the price.): - Bitcoin is a scam. - Ok maybe Bitcoin isn't a scam but it's worthless. - Ethereum is a scam. - Ok Ethereum isn't a scam but smart contracts are worthless. - Alts that challenge Bitcoin like BCH, LTC, XRP, Nano, aren't worthless and better than Bitcoin. - All crypto is worthless again. - Ok, Bitcoin isn't worthless but all alts are definitely worthless except maybe LTC, XLM, XRP. - Wow, some of these other alts made people rich for some reason. Why not mine? At least I know those new NFT things are a scam. - Bored apes and all NFTs will never have value. No one would ever pay for digital ownership over a collectible. - Ok some NFTs have value to people but memes will never have any value. Doge is only a joke (To their credit, they just underestimated the left curve, and trading attention can be fun.) - Solana is a scam. Completely worthless. It's just an FTX scam coin. Ignore it. - If Bitcoin can be worth trillions with no revenue so can alts like Cardano. Luckily Solana died because FTX died. - All crypto only goes up if Bitcoin goes up. Crypto is just tokens that try to beat USD and BTC. Buy the tokens this sub repeats are good! Ignore the years of losses. - I don't care everyone now uses Solana. It's definitely a scam. Buy hbar, ada, XRP. Trust me! There are dozens of us using them! Crypto social media is still so broken that most don't understand a token is just ownership of some other asset that can literally be anything from a security to a commodity or ownership over publicly managed equity exposed to revenue from numerous protocols to L1s like Solana/Hyperliquid. We're currently sitting around last couple bullet points of retarded. Over the next few years the majority will start to learn everything is crypto. Everything gets tokenized. You need to determine the value of each token based on what you own, and a rSpacex private security token could care less how BTC performs. L1s that capture web 3 rev go up with rev. Tokens without ownership over rev or something with fundamental value trend to 0 long term. No one wants to buy your meme or vaporware L1 coin that produces no value for more than you paid over longer time frames. Know what ownership your token provides before you buy. BTC moving up forever without rev is the exception. Not the rule. Nothing else is Bitcoin. Rev or bust. The world will trade and own all assets on chain. Even if they don't realize it. Have fun owning and trading all different types of assets on a single global network. Whichever network takes the majority of transactional web 3 revenue is worth trillions. Bitcoin is a better ledger for the world's wealth than a shiny piece of metal. It'll continue moving up at an accelerated pace until it becomes the dominant ledger. Learn these concepts. Learn the fundamentals. Learn the tech. Learn economics. Learn investing. The fastest road to accomplishing all of this is just start using the popular networks, and protocols. As a bonus, active users are constantly showered with free airdrops. You'll get paid for learning. Do it. I've personally made hundreds of thousands in USD from just using everything over the years. So much stupid opportunity out there. You'll find it when you break from crypto tribes, and start getting curious over what all is being built and why. GL and remember you have no idea if I know what I'm saying. Don't trust. Ignore the comments. Verify by using, examining the free data with sites like defilama/Coingecko and leverage AI. You guys have it much easier these days. Everything you need is right in front of you.

I sold my 10 bitcoin for XRP.

An alt that is more established and has less risk to get suddenly rigged or dump 95% like every other alt. For example Eth, XRP, Sol are examples of blue chip alts. There is no guarantee they’ll perform but they are much safer than the masses of other BS.

impressive that they managed to keep their scam going for 14 years. but nothing is impossible if you prey on low IQ individuals. im guessing theres big overlap between Qanon people and XRP shizos

I bought 41 XRP worth $13 in 2020. Wish I bought more back then.

Guess the cryptocurrency based on these pics. I'm thinking its XRP.

That's cute. 1 XRP= 1 XRP, 1 ADA= 1 ADA, 1 Shitcoin=1 Shitcoin See? I can do it too! Lmao

Kaspa will make 99% of Crypto useless soon. More secure than Bitcoin. Faster than every proof of stake crypto like solana. Better than Bitcoin, Ethereum, Solana and XRP combined. I still can’t believe that so many people haven’t realized this already.

Every other coin has been up 300% at some point and they are all dead now. XRP has never been anything but hype. People din't even use it.

>It will support additional use case but being a bridge is literally XRP’s core use case, so what additional use cases are you talking about?

JustStopppingBye

>You not liking that particular partnership Fair enough. Okay how bout this. Ignore wormholes fuck up, like it didnt happen. Just acknowledge what wormhole is. **Wormhole is a cross chain messaging system.** So, why does a bridge currency like XRP need wormhole, a blockchain interoperability cross chain messaging system? Its probably because XRP was *supposed* to be the bridge currency between different systems. But now, because XRPL isn't natively interoperable with other blockchains, it needs external bridges like Wormhole to connect to the multichain world. Wormhole and CCIP show you don’t need XRP (or any bridge token) to move value between blockchains. They enable direct cross-chain swaps and messaging without relying on a middleman asset.

Ok, and what is the problem there, exactly? Some people would be rich? If the money is there the money is there. No one bats an eye at Elon Musk often being the richest person in the world, and what does he do, make cars, shitpost on a failing social network, and blow up space ships? I think people who completely overhaul the financial market probably earned it. (Not saying this is going to happen, just playing into your hypothetical.) But, I was curious, so I looked at some numbers real fast: There are about 7 million wallets, which is about 0.08% of the population. If we assume the average holding is 10,000, and the price magically jumped to $1,000 each (again, unrealistic hypothetical), then we'd have 7 million new millionaires. But only about 5% actually hold 10,000 or more, so that's more like 350,000 people. Barely a dent in the nearly 60 million millionaires out there. The top 1% would hold about 50,000 XRP, so 70,000 people would be worth $50,000,000. Again, not crazy. Some accounts say about 500 wallets hold over 5,000,000 XRP, so we'd have 500 new billionaires. So we'd go from 3,000 to 3,500 billionaires. Ok, a decent jump but not really. So what we're coming to is that a couple people could theoretically become trillionaires on paper, possibly. That isn't outside the realm of possibility since people think Musk could do it blowing up space ships for a living. But they'd also have to move all that back into fiat to realize it, so, easier said than done at that scale. Tl;dr - The math isn't crazy.
