The current system must fail first
People forget that XRP is often talked about as a backup plan for the current financial system. If you believe that thesis, the existing system would have to break down first and some people argue we’re already seeing signs of that through inflation and a weakening dollar.
As long as the current dollar-based system is still functioning and people can continue making money in it, XRP may not reach the prices some expect.
But here’s the question I keep coming back to: if 1 XRP were worth $7,000, yet inflation had gotten so bad that the average house cost $3 trillion, would that really make you wealthy? The number would be bigger, but your purchasing power might not be.
Just a thought.
