The XRP community is as fiery as ever, with price debates, predictions, and arguments lighting up crypto forums. While XRP has shown a sharp recovery from last weekend’s drop, the chatter online reveals a divided community with some calling it “scam,” while others remain convinced it’s one of crypto’s best long-term plays.
The Bears Are Growling
Not everyone’s impressed with XRP’s recent moves. One Reddit user bluntly asked:
“Why has XRP failed so miserably? Nearly any other investment seems to have done better in the long run.”
The harshest critics pointed to XRP’s early ledger gaps, Ripple’s control over token supply, and centralization concerns as reasons they believe the token isn’t fit for crypto’s decentralized future.
The Loyal Defenders Fire Back
On the other side, supporters explained XRP’s 350% price gains over the past year and its consistent presence in the top 10 cryptocurrencies by market cap. Many users argued that despite the criticism, XRP has managed to survive multiple market cycles, regulatory battles, and negative press, outperforming countless altcoins that have vanished.
XRP Price Action Recap
Despite the drama, XRP’s price action has looked constructive this week. After a sharp drop to around $2 during last weekend’s geopolitical tensions, the token rebounded strongly, reclaiming its June range. At the time of writing, XRP is holding steady around $2.15-$2.20 with healthy trading volume.
The recovery was aided by improved sentiment as Middle East tensions eased and markets priced in hopes of a possiblel U.S. interest rate cut later this year.
While people argued about XRP, old price predictions started popping up again, including the famous $10,000 target. Most experts still think it’s a long shot, but some believe XRP could rally big if regulations become clearer and big institutions start using it more.
