Marketcap
The marketcap determines the true possibility of growth. Lets keep using Ripple, since its shilled to every new crypto trader due to its low dollar value.
The entire crypto marketwas $500 Billion yesterday. Of that amount, Almost 190 billion was Bitcoin. There has never been a moment in cryptocurrency history when another coin had greater marketcap dominance. Meaning, Bitcoin has always been in 1st. Right now, Ethereum has 2nd highest market cap and at $43 billion, Ripple is in third. Market cap and dollar value do not move on a perfect 1:1 ratio, but the relation is close enough. :notebook:Note: Because marketcap doubles doesnt mean price will double. BUT... if price doubles, the marketcap HAS to increase significantly.
For Ripple to 10x, we are looking at the market cap having to 7-10x. That would put Ripple's MCAP above $430 billion. In the current market, that is $50 billion less than the ENTIRE CRYPTO MARKET CAP. It simply CAN NOT happen. It would need to more than double Bitcoin'ss MCAP just to get to $10. Let alone, what would be needed for Ripple to hit $100. (which many dream of).
