re: XRP- friends keeps saying this is one to watch

The market cap is the dollar value per token multiplied by total units. It doesn’t matter how it gets there. At 10k/coin its market cap would be 580T, or roughly 5X world GDP. It would be approximately 10 times more valuable than the US equity market, more valuable than than the totality of global bond markets and more valuable than all the real estate on the planet. I have a much better understanding of how scams like this succeed after visiting this math and logic forsaken thread.

Exactly. That’s what detractors point to is market cap. So I looked into the people who explain why market cap doesn’t matter with XRP. I do not think it’s going to $10,000 but I believe it will go up a considerable amount from its $2.37 per coin right now. This info below is what I read that makes me see the potential.
TL;DR: XRP could hit $100 because its utility drives demand, and market cap is irrelevant for utility coins. As adoption grows and XRP becomes integral to global finance, its price will reflect its role, not its supply. Market cap is just a number-it doesn't define the true value of a utility token like XRP
I see a lot of people dismissing the idea of XRP reaching $100 because of "market cap," but here's the thing: market cap isn't the ultimate metric for utility coins. Let me explain why XRP's value could rise significantly despite its large supply.
Utility > Market Cap
XRP is a utility token, meaning its value is tied to its use case, not speculation. XRP is designed to facilitate cross-border payments, liquidity, and settlement for financial institutions. If institutions globally adopt XRP for transferring trillions of dollars daily, its price will rise naturally, because the demand for XRP will outpace its supply.
Market cap is simply a math equation: price x supply. It's not a hard ceiling that limits a coin's price. For utility coins like XRP, what really matters is how much demand their utility generates. If XRP is essential for moving global money efficiently, its price could easily rise regardless of market cap.
Global Money Movement is Massive
The global cross-border payment market processes trillions of dollars annually. XRP is positioned as a bridge currency to reduce friction and costs in these transactions. The potential market for XRP's utility is enormous.
If XRP becomes a key player in settling even a fraction of global payments, the volume and demand for XRP will skyrocket. At that point, the concept of market cap becomes irrelevant because XRP's price reflects its role in the global financial system.
High Price is Necessary for XRP's Functionality For XRP to be effective in large-scale payments, its price needs to increase. Why? Because higher prices mean less XRP is needed to settle large transactions. Imagine moving $10 trillion in cross-border payments-at $1 per XRP, you'd need 10 trillion XRP. At $100 per XRP, you'd only need 100 billion.
This efficiency is critical for financial institutions using
XRP as a bridge asset. The higher the price, the more efficient the system becomes.
Market Cap is a Misleading Metric for Utility Coins
Market cap makes sense for stocks or speculative assets, but it's not a meaningful metric for utility tokens. Utility coins derive their value from their adoption and usage within their ecosystem. If XRP is solving real-world problems, its price can rise regardless of market cap, because the demand is based on function, not speculation.

So if it goes up and one decides to sell, do you get actual cash deposited into your bank account like stock share sales on E-Trade?

Who cares how many XRP are needed? It’s not a suitcase of USD or a pound of gold, it’s the adjustment of a decimal point. Besides, like any other bridge loan, you’ll pay a fee to borrow someone else’s coin until the transaction settles. What’s the going rate to borrow $1 worth of XRP for 2 seconds? That’s where you’ll derive the potential value of ownership.

Yeah good luck to all those XRP millionaires trying to cash out at the same time. Just be one of the first to liquidate I see a Luna type crash ahead for this coin.

XRP's singular utility is people like you regurgitating non sequiturs and logical inconsistencies that originate from XRP's marketing campaign online which net more fish into Larsen and Garlinghouse's net. Ex: "market cap is irrelevant for utility coins", da faq?
You have better odds of winning Powerball than XRP hitting $100 and burning money on lottery tickets has the added benefits of supporting education and not enriching grifters like Garlinghouse and Larsen.
