why doesn't BTC follow this math?

I honestly don’t understand how some people think $XRP will reach $500. I don’t know what they base this on or from what perspective they’re doing their analysis.

Let’s do some simple math. The current market cap is $129.14 billion, and the circulating supply is 58.5 billion, which gives us the current price.

Now let’s assume the market cap doubles—which is already a stretch—and reaches $260 billion, and the entire supply gets unlocked. Even then, the price would barely hit $2.60.

Now suppose the circulating supply remains the same (58.5B), and the market cap still goes to $260 billion. In that case, XRP would only reach $4.44.

Now let’s counter the “$500” crowd by entertaining a $10 price target. For that to happen with full supply, XRP would need a $1 trillion market cap, and the price would be around $10.001. Okay, now let’s push further—leave the supply as it is and push the market cap to $1 trillion. Even then, XRP would only hit $17.09.

So again, on what basis do people believe XRP will reach $500? Just on the word “adoption”?

And let’s be real—a $1 trillion market cap for #XRP alone? When the entire crypto market cap is around $3 trillion? That’s not just unrealistic—it’s absurd.
