Ripples xrp is soon to become the 2nd largest marketcap coin. With the best use case of all the coins, I believe by the end of 2018 xrp will be close to taking over the top spot.
When ripple announces banks are begining to use xrp, there will be a run on this coin to an unbelievable level and rightly so. The number of xrp that will be used by banks will dwarf the rest of the coins. When banks start transporting their money in 10s and 100s of millions, the dominos will fall. All of the banks will fall in line. They will not pass on the oppurtunity to save 60% on transactions, and cut time on those transactions by 99.99% To believe otherwise is to believe the banks aren't all about the money.... of course they are.
what are your price predictions for ripple?
If they do what they say and banks begin using xrp in Q1 of 2018, It could be in the 5$ range by mid year. The real kickoff will be when the 61 Japanese banks begin to use xrp. Word is they are going to handle even many domestic transactions with ripple. If that comes true, it's my belief this coin will reach 1000$ inside 3 years.
We all need to remember that fx markets are over 5 trillion daily. Rxp will take a percentage of that be it 5-10 percent. Add tbat to credit card, and potential amazon/alibaba, and other domestic transactions.
