The Bleak Yet Hilarious Truth Behind XRP’s Wild Price Predictions

by

Ah, XRP. Whispers in the cold corridors of the internet swirl—three, four digits, even more, perhaps? $100, $500, $1,000. Numbers so vast, my dear reader, Stalin would have called them statistics instead of dreams.

At first, such hopes appear laughable, like asking your prison guard for a feather pillow. But let us not scoff! There are, somewhere between the outhouse and the guard tower, numbers and “use cases” that refuse to die.

Some X denizen—who bravely renamed himself Stellar Rippler, presumably after the last meal he ate in freedom—notes that XRP is engineered for speedy, cheap global payments. The SWIFT system, in its grand Soviet efficiency, processes $5 trillion every day, which would build a lot of gulags. If XRP is allowed, by whatever functionaries run things, to channel even 10% of this meat-grinder, $500 billion daily, the coin might drag itself grimly to $27–$50. Oh, what luxury—to afford more than stale bread!

Now take the shadowy world of Nostro and Vostro, where banks squirrel away $27 trillion to settle scores across borders—a sum familiar to anyone who’s tried bribing a warden. If XRP slips into just a 5% share, liberation of capital follows! Perhaps a price of $80–$100, enough to buy your own printing press… or your own personal exile.

Dare we imagine Ripple as a licensed bank? What next, a just commissar? With lending, custody, and payment services powered by XRP, the price could leap over $100. The stuff of comedy, yet here we are, pen in hand!

(9/) Bitcoin went from pennies to $100K+ on narrative alone.
No partnerships. No institutional rails. Just belief.

XRP has real-world utility, banking ties, regulatory positioning, and tech light-years ahead…
And people still think $10+ is a dream?
It’s not a question of if -… 😅

Imagine now the central banks: Ripple boasts “over 40” already in its orbit, perhaps with the promise of extra potatoes in winter. Should XRP become the bridge currency, should it sway the titans—IMF, World Bank—the coin might crawl to $250–$500. The exiles who gather around fire barrels might yet celebrate.

But let’s peek at the truly laughable: the global derivatives market, worth over $1 quadrillion. Not even the Old Regime dared dream so high. If XRP manages to snatch 0.1% of that, its price could go over $1,000. At this point, even the NKVD would raise an eyebrow.

So why are we still standing in line, holding our ration tickets and waiting? Legal purgatory, regulatory indifference, and an uncertainty thicker than Siberian fog. But revolutions happen overnight, and when they do, it’s the ones with belief and sturdy boots who march ahead. Bitcoin, that wild prisoner, broke $100,000 on faith alone. XRP, meanwhile, waits—in the snow, numbly clutching its partnerships and “real” utility. The question is not “if,” but “when”—and, perhaps, “will there still be soup left?”
