The $XRP community is currently buzzing (and a bit divided) after some "real talk" from former Ripple CTO David Schwartz resurfaced. When asked about the holy grail of price targets—$50 to $100—Schwartz didn’t hold back, sparking a massive debate across Crypto Twitter.
The Comment That Shook the "XRP Army"
Responding to a skeptic, Schwartz admitted: “I don’t feel comfortable saying something like that.” While some took this as a bearish sign, the "architect" himself later clarified his stance. His "discomfort" isn't about a lack of faith in the tech; it's about probability. He’s being a realist in a market driven by hype.
Why We Shouldn’t Underestimate the "Cautious" Expert
History shows that even the smartest people in the room can get it wrong. Let’s look at Schwartz’s own track record:
The Early Exit: He bought XRP at $0.006 and started selling at $0.10.
The Missed Moon: He thought $0.10 was "insane" gains, but XRP eventually rocketed to its ATHs, proving the market often outruns even the creator's expectations.
The Bitcoin Lesson: Schwartz once called $100 Bitcoin an "impossible dream." Today, with $BTC trading far beyond those levels, it’s clear that "unlikely" doesn't mean "impossible."
Probability vs. Certainty: The Analyst’s View
Crypto developer @Bird_XRPL stepped in to provide some perspective. He argues that when experts like Schwartz say something isn't "likely," they are managing risk, not dismissing potential.
In the financial world, a 10% probability of a massive move is actually huge, but it doesn't mean you bet the house on it today. Bird reminds us that markets have a funny habit of defying logic and "rational" models.
