⚠️ “You can’t back XRP with gold. Sorry.” :Ripple Director ⚠️ Baron Dominus dropped the bomb: “Gold-backed XRP = $2,953 by 2026. Maybe even $10k… or $35k.” Matt Hamilton, former Ripple director, bluntly said: 👉 “You can’t back XRP with gold. Sorry.” XRP supply is fixed at 100B. No printing machine. No “gold goes brrrr.” Gold-backed cryptos exist—but those are stablecoins pegged to actual reserves. XRP isn’t designed for that. Even if you tried, gold supply ≠ XRP supply. The math collapses instantly. ❓ If the community needs to summon fantasies of $35,000 XRP backed by gold to stay bullish… what does that say about the confidence in real adoption, real demand, and real utility? Tether quietly holds 80 metric tons of gold in a Swiss vault, backing $941M worth of tokens. That’s real. That’s measurable. That’s audited. XRP at $35k? That’s vibes, not math. Maybe XRP doesn’t need gold at all. Maybe speculation is enough fuel. Or maybe… the louder the dreams get, the more fragile the faith becomes.
