$XRP Community Reacts to $100 Price Talk From Ex-Ripple CTO
Old comments from former Ripple CTO David Schwartz about $XRP reaching $50–$100 recently resurfaced, sparking debate across the XRP community. His cautious response was based on probability — not disbelief — but many took it the wrong way.
History shows even insiders underestimate crypto. Schwartz bought $XRP around $0.006 and sold near $0.10, only to see it climb much higher afterward. He once also doubted Bitcoin could hit $100 — and BTC went on to shatter expectations.
As XRPL developer Bird pointed out, saying something is “unlikely” doesn’t mean “impossible.” Experienced builders speak conservatively because markets often outperform early assumptions.
XRP has already defied expectations before — and long-term outcomes are rarely limited by early caution.
