your entire narrative is INCORRECT, if XRP is used as a BRIDGE FOR EXCHANGE not as a value asset on the STOCK MARKET, then its price will not rise.. its value will tend to be stable

I suppose that in 2 years you won't even be able to buy XRP. XRP was designed to be a bridge currency and not to be bought and sold on exchanges. Once Ripple wins the SEC lawsuit, you will start to see its price increase significantly; as it will be the only currency considered not a security and will have legal clarity that will enable significant adoption by U.S. financial institutions. Soon after, I believe Ripple will not release more XRP from its reserve on retail exchanges, even if it re-includes XRP in its exchanges. It will be released only for liquidity purposes on demand for financial institutions. However, before retail investors are left out, I think it could easily surpass the $150 mark. My only concern is how the buyback will be handled by retail investors when we can no longer buy it on exchanges; as the end use of XRP is to be a stable currency used in the XRP Ledger as a bridge currency among all digital assets, including all digital fiats. It has been estimated that when fully adopted as the bridge currency of the world, the price per XRP coin will be between $35,000 and $50,000. Of course, we won't see those extremely high prices by the time we are excluded without a massive class-action lawsuit.
