Bitcoin Enthusiast Critiques Bold XRP Predictions
In recent discussions, Bitcoin enthusiast FiatHawk has openly criticized XRP investors following speculative claims that the altcoin could surge to an astronomical $10,000. This speculation emerged even as XRP dipped below the pivotal $3 threshold, mirroring the broader downturn in the cryptocurrency market.

Harsh Criticism of XRP Investors
FiatHawk, known for his staunch support of Bitcoin, took to social media platform X to voice his opinions, labeling XRP as the cryptocurrency for the “truly misguided.” He highlighted a message from a hopeful investor contemplating a $300 investment in XRP with expectations of exponential growth, potentially reaching $10,000. This optimistic forecast, he argued, could transform a modest $300 investment into a staggering $1 million windfall.
In response to FiatHawk’s post, a member of the crypto community pointed out that achieving a $10,000 price point would skyrocket XRP’s market capitalization to a staggering $593 trillion, dwarfing Apple’s current $3 trillion valuation by a factor of 191. Another community member, Billiam, expressed skepticism about the feasibility of such a prediction. FiatHawk retorted, emphasizing the altcoin’s market cap as evidence of irrational optimism.
Contrary to the derogatory remarks, another participant argued that XRP investors are not irrational but rather “frugal.” They suggested that these investors missed the opportunity to buy Bitcoin and now regret their decision. FiatHawk countered by asserting that while Satoshi units (Sats) are affordable, XRP remains “overpriced and overvalued.”
Optimism Among XRP Community
Despite FiatHawk’s criticism, several XRP supporters maintain that the altcoin could eventually reach the $10,000 mark. Edward Farina, the Head of Social Adoption at XRP Healthcare, proposed a scenario where XRP might achieve this milestone if it supplants the SWIFT network, thanks to Ripple’s innovative payment solutions.
Furthermore, crypto analyst ‘Random Crypto Pal’ has also ventured a similar prediction, suggesting that XRP’s market cap could become boundless once the Ripple vs. SEC lawsuit concludes.
Recent Decline in XRP Value
On August 1, XRP’s value slipped below the critical $3 mark, coinciding with a broader market slump triggered by newly announced tariffs set to take effect on August 7. Although the altcoin has since recovered this important level, it remains susceptible to further declines amidst prevailing market volatility.
Crypto analyst Ali Martinez, in a post on X, mentioned that XRP might find support within the $2.55 to $2.40 range, a region previously identified as significant resistance before XRP’s recent ascent to a fresh all-time high of approximately $3.6. Meanwhile, another analyst, Egrag Crypto, projected a potential dip to $2.65 before XRP resumes its upward trajectory.
At present, XRP is trading around $3, marking a slight increase over the past 24 hours, as reported by CoinMarketCap.
