Can a coin with a $100B supply hit $100? The numbers will surprise you.
Let's get real about $XRP 's future. Before the hype train leaves the station, we need to look at the math everyone else is ignoring.
XRP: The real supply story
* Max supply: 100 billion tokens
* Circulating now: about 59 billion tokens
Even with this huge supply, $XRP has stayed in the top ranks, driven by a passionate community and a lot of talk.
But here's the part nobody wants to talk about: What happens when the rest of those locked tokens get released? That massive wave of new supply could hold the price down for years.
The math of reality
* A $15 price would mean a market cap of about $885 billion
* A $20 price would mean a market cap of about $1.18 trillion
So, could XRP hit $15 or even $20? Maybe, but it's more likely to take 10 to 15 years, not next year. A lot of people are chasing short-term dreams that are bound to end in disappointment.
My plan: Focusing on fundamentals
I'm focusing on XLM because its supply situation feels a lot healthier for the long term.
The takeaway
* Don't let hype blind you to the real numbers.
* Ground your expectations in reality.
* Have a clear reason for your investment.
