The XRP Myth: $1 Today = $100 Tomorrow?

Added: 2026-05-25

[00:00:00]Last July, I made a video saying I started selling my XRP at $3 and comments were full of people calling me stupid. XRP is going to 100, 200, $500.

[00:00:10]You don't get it. Let me show you where XRP is today. $1.39 From $3 to $1.30, down 64% from its all-time high. And I'm now buying it again to sell it again when it touch three or five. The same people who called me stupid are still holding bags, still waiting for $100. Let's do something nobody on YouTube does. Let's actually calculate what $100 XRP would mean. XRP has 61 billion tokens in circulation. Multiply that by 100, that's $6 trillion in market cap. $6 trillion for one coin. The entire crypto market cap, Bitcoin, Ethereum, every meme coin, every altcoin combined is $3 trillion. XRP at 100 would need to be twice the size of the entire crypto economy on Earth. But it doesn't stop there. XRP's max supply is 100 billion tokens. At full dilution, that's $10 trillion.

[00:01:13]That's bigger than Apple and Microsoft combined, bigger than the GDP of Japan for a payment coin sitting at $1.39.

[00:01:23]Here's why this fairy tale keeps spreading. Videos saying XRP to $500 get million of views. Videos doing actual math like this one get 10,000 if they're lucky. I'm telling you right now this video won't break 50K views and the next clickbait XRP to $1,000 next week will hit a million easy. People don't watch crypto content to learn, they watch it to dream. Here is the thing. XRP isn't the token, it's cross-border payments coin. Ripple stack is real, banks actually use it. But, that's the point.

[00:01:58]Cross-border payments don't generate $6 trillion in market cap. Swift, the global system XRP wants to replace, processes $150 trillion a year. And the company running it makes maybe a billion in profit. So, what's the play? Same as last cycle. If you have a small bag, the time to buy XRP was at 30 cents, 40 cents, 50 cents. That window is closed.

[00:02:25]If you have serious capital, you can still buy it at $1.30 and flip it to 100% when retail wakes up and pushes it back to three. But, $100 XRP, $500 XRP, $1,000 XRP, that's not a prediction.

[00:02:42]That's a story people tell themselves so they don't have to sell at loss. The best time to sell XRP was $3. The second best time is when retail starts believing the fairy tale again.
