Let's get one thing straight: I am a bull on the technology and the vision behind the XRP Ledger. But we need to have a serious, adult conversation about the "$10,000 $XRP" dream that floods our feeds.
Imagine you build the fastest, most efficient race car in the world, designed to transport everyone cheaply. šļø
Now, imagine the price of a single drop of its fuel becomes $10,000.
The car is still a masterpiece of engineering. But its purpose is dead. It's now a useless museum piece.
This is the $10,000 paradox for $XRP.
The entire purpose of the XRP Ledger is to be a cheap, lightning-fast bridge for global payments. It was built for volume, for utility, for moving money across borders in seconds.
At $10,000 per coin, sending a simple $50 payment would involve calculating fractions of a fraction of a token. The fees, while small in XRP terms, would become prohibitively expensive in dollar terms. The network would grind to a halt for everyday use.
It would cease to be a utility and would become a speculative plaything for the ultra-rich, killing the very global adoption it needs to justify its existence. In trying to become everything, it would become nothing.
The real metric for a utility token isn't its moonshot price; it's the transaction volume on its ledger. Is it being used? That's the only question that matters. This is the fundamental difference between a utility asset like $XRP and a pure store of value like $BTC.
So, what's the real value? A lottery ticket price or a world-changing technology? The answer is in the data, not the dreams.

What do you think is a realistic price for XRP that enhances its utility, instead of destroying it? Let's have a real discussion in the comments. š
