XRP’s Hail Mary Play: Will Ripple’s Clever Scheming Pay Off? 🎲

by

Let’s talk about XRP, shall we? Crypto analyst Santiago R Santos recently declared it might outshine Ethereum in a post-apocalyptic crypto wasteland. “If the market implodes like a deflated soufflé in 2026,” he said, “Ripple could still be the party crasher with a golden ticket.” At $1.80-$1.88, XRP needs a 100% surge to reclaim its 2018 peak of $3.84. Easy peasy, right? 🚀

When asked if XRP or Ripple’s equity would be the better bet by 2030, Santos pivoted to his favorite topic: chaos. “2026 is gonna be a dumpster fire,” he said, “but Ripple’s got a first-aid kit, a life vest, and a ticket to the escape pod.” Meanwhile, Ethereum’s future? “Bearish” is the polite way to put it. 😂

Why Ripple Is Crypto’s Version of a Swiss Army Knife

Santos argues Ripple’s secret sauce is its ability to survive even when markets are throwing tantrums. “Decentralized networks? They’re like a democracy trying to build a rocket. Ripple’s a dictatorship with a blueprint,” he said. And let’s not forget: Visa’s worth $600 billion. Ripple’s “just” $188 billion. Translation: there’s room to grow, or as Santos puts it, “the buffet line isn’t over yet.” 🍽️

Ripple’s Business Strategy: Centralized and Unapologetic

Santos took aim at decentralized product strategies, calling them “crypto’s version of group projects.” His verdict? “Centralized product decisions win. Ethereum? It’s like a committee trying to agree on pizza toppings.” And valuation? “Ethereum’s market cap is a ghost town compared to Ripple’s potential.” 🏙️

XRP’s Wildcard Moves: Buying, Building, and Baiting the Market

According to Santos, Ripple’s playbook includes using XRP to acquire real-world businesses, build distribution, and “figure things out” while others panic. “Some projects are on a clock,” he said. “Ripple’s got a sundial.” In other words, the market’s losing patience, but Ripple’s got a napkin, a coffee, and a “relax, it’ll be fine” attitude. ☕
