Yeah, the old market cap problem of Ripple, and you can bet that it will meet extreme resistant in trying to be number one, although I suspect its centralized leadership will definitely place more and more control over the supply, in an effort to break top spot. I believe it will eventually happen, but it will not last, it will just be a hype to start even more money pouring in.
Still, it can break 7-10 dollars, but when and only when Bitcoin is back above $20k, therefore, making XRP still number 2 or even 3 if ETH also grows.
You can make that generalization about all of the altcoins right now on the market. If BTC rises, everything rises. IMHO I think ripple should perform a coin burn to give the price a bump. I'm hodling regardless as I'm still in the green. I just don't see BTC going up to 20k any time soon.
