Well, well, well. Dave Weisberger, the former big cheese at CoinRoutes, and now the president of BetterTrade.digital, has taken a sharp swing at those wild XRP price predictions-particularly the one where they think it’s going to hit $1,000. Spoiler alert: it’s not happening. On November 10, in a video that no one should’ve missed, he laid out a no-nonsense, methodical, but definitely not overly enthusiastic case for Bitcoin’s future. It’s all about scarcity and a network that doesn’t take weekends off. XRP, on the other hand, well… let’s just say it has a long way to go to justify its sky-high dreams.
Now, Weisberger isn’t just throwing shade for fun. He says, straight up, that the reason people invest in assets is because they expect them to grow and because they’ve got a solid reason for that belief. For Bitcoin, that reason is simple: it’s the “sound money” for the digital age, replacing gold, which has been kind of lost at sea since 1913 (thanks a lot, 1971). Bitcoin doesn’t need to rely on anyone’s word; it’s backed by a vast network of node operators. Gold? Well, you trust the people who say they’ve got it. Big difference.
“Gold’s just full of trust,” Weisberger said. “But Bitcoin? It’s like a big, global club of people saying ‘We’ve got this, and here’s the proof.’ And it’s scarce-programmatically scarce. Unlike gold, it’s not just some shiny rock in a vault somewhere.”
And let’s talk about Bitcoin’s magic open participation model-no gatekeepers. Want to run a node? Go ahead, no one’s stopping you. But good luck mining at a reasonable cost unless you’ve got the big bucks for economies of scale, which is why Bitcoin’s way ahead of the pack in terms of adoption.
Why $1,000 XRP Price Targets Are ‘Delusional’
Now, let’s get to the juicy part: XRP. According to Weisberger, if you’re not answering the age-old equity question-“How does the network make money and how does that money get back to token holders?”-then you’re probably not in it for the long haul. He compared XRP’s fate to that of a business that might make a quick buck but lacks the sustainable revenue model. And in crypto, as in business, if it’s not making money, it’s not worth the hype.
Weisberger’s not a total XRP hater, mind you. He admitted he holds some XRP himself (because, you know, he’s not blind to potential), and he called it a “potentially good investment.” But that doesn’t mean he’s buying into the crazy predictions of $10,000 or $1,000 XRP. He made it clear that those claims are not only delusional but also a math fail.
“You really think XRP is going to flip Bitcoin? There are 5,000 times more XRP tokens than there are Bitcoin!” Weisberger exclaimed. “You’re saying $21 for Bitcoin and $1,000 for XRP? That math doesn’t check out!”
But it’s not all doom and gloom for Ripple and XRP. Weisberger gave Ripple credit for making some shrewd moves, like diving into prime brokerage, which is a pretty clever way to build a strong balance sheet. But let’s be real-Ripple needs XRP on its books for that edge. They’re not in this to make XRP moon; they’re in it for some solid business growth, thank you very much.
And as for XRP’s market price? Well, Weisberger thinks that while everyone would like it to go up, it doesn’t need to. It just needs to keep running smoothly. After all, if XRP spikes too much in price, the big players might start looking for a cheaper alternative. And trust me, they won’t stick around long if the price gets too spicy.
My take on XRP vis a vis Bitcoin… Rather than focus on one clip, this goes through the logic.

At the end of the day, Weisberger believes that the best scenario for XRP is a slow, steady rise that’s backed by actual use and real cash flows, not wild speculation. If the price spikes too much, it could even hurt the network’s long-term health. So let’s all just take a deep breath and stop with the $1,000 price talk, alright?
Last we checked, XRP was sitting comfortably at $2.44, so yeah… a bit of a long way to go.
