Ripple's Chief Technology Officer, David Schwartz, has been vocal about the misconceptions surrounding the supply and value comparisons between BTC and XRP. He emphasizes that evaluating cryptocurrencies solely based on their total supply or price per unit can be misleading. For instance, while Bitcoin has a capped supply of 21 million coins, and XRP has a maximum supply of 100 billion tokens, the actual value and scarcity should be assessed in terms of market capitalization and utility rather than just supply numbers.
