MegaNerd 1,240 Posted February 19, 2019 Share Posted February 19, 2019 (edited) We know old Bitcoin forums have people arguing about Bitcoin ever hitting $25. The line was drawn. One side said Yes, the other said No. Now it is our turn. Who will be right years from now?

But then I'm reminded of this chart and then I start working out the spec of my yacht. Correct. This is my thinking. We're way too early here to even be allowed to think about $1000. It's laughable. But when I find myself running numbers, back in 2010 it should have technically been absolutely, 100% positively impossibly absurd to ever think BTC would EVER go above $1,000 and yet it hit $20,000. Imagine being in 2010 in Bitcoin forums and telling the members that you have a feeling Bitcoin is going to hit $20,000 in just a few years. You would have probably been banned as they shoved 'market cap' darts down your throat.

ADingoAteMyXRP 3,527 Posted February 19, 2019 Share Posted February 19, 2019 (edited) If daily liquidity is something like 6% of market cap (right now, we're at 6% of market cap), and we capture a third of the market (10T of daily liquidity), that's 166T which works out to $1,660 a coin if all coins are on the market. We have the potential of going much higher than that, or never getting close to it. I'm not convinced there's a ceiling or floor. If a better asset comes along, it will win. If a better asset doesn't come along, politics will begin to play a stronger role in the price outcome. I don't think it's out of the question for digital assets to spark massive economic shifts and even war.

xrp_sea 401 Posted February 19, 2019 Share Posted February 19, 2019 Will XRP hit $1,000? I would say it's highly unlikely, but not outside of the realm of possibilities. Link to post Share on other sites

lucky 6,296 Posted February 19, 2019 Share Posted February 19, 2019 To those who answer "never"... The inflation in 2018 was 2.54%. Project that over 100 years, and $1,000 will only be worth $76 in today's value. XRP having a value of $76 in 100 years, calculated in today's dollar value, sounds less impossible, doesn't it? Not even considering the scenario that the dollar will implode (thereby conveniently "fixing" the us debt). GiddyUp and Oldschool 2 Link to post Share on other sites
Naimless 83 Posted February 19, 2019 Share Posted February 19, 2019 There are so many influencing factors that I don't think it's possible to say it will definitely or will never hit $1000. I would love it if it did but it would require a LOT of things to fall into place so, to me, it seems pretty unlikely. I would suspect that XRP will be superseded by some superior technology before it reaches that point. God I would be happy to be proven wrong however! Link to post Share on other sites

Not even considering the scenario that the dollar will implode (thereby conveniently "fixing" the us debt). I think its not correct to compare USD to XRP and imply inflation/FV/US Debt principles to forecast XRP value. I would also think with 100 years horizon, too risky and unpredictable given current state of affairs. There are no benchmarks/researches/approaches to forecast XRP (or any other crypto value) based on. This is why returns can be wild hence the risks are the same. Now i see two main risks to XRP being widely used: 1. Competition; 2. Politics. Somehow I feel (probably its biased opinion) if XRP is not widely used (with XRP price mainly driven by use case demand) by end of 2020 it will lose quite of a traction/believers/investors.

True, but I don't expect the world to collectively migrate to technology restricted by patents. That did not work for video codecs either. Link to post Share on other sites
