Comrade, let us gaze across the digital steppes — where dreams ferment and speculation is a substitute for bread. Once again, the XRP commune finds itself enthralled by tales told in the smoky taverns of X (once called Twitter, until the authorities took the vowels). They claim Chris Larsen, a man who helped build this blockchain behemoth, whispered the promise of XRP climbing above $1,000. All it takes: Ripple capturing a paltry 10% of SWIFT’s mighty, oligarchic payment volume. A modest ask, one might say. As simple as smuggling a loaf into the gulag.
Among XRP’s loyal proletariat, such bold prophecy plays better than vodka at a state meeting. Some clutch it like the last potato in winter saying, “Da! It is not foolish hope! This is a design! A calculated vision—scientific, even!” There’s talk of ‘velocity’ and ‘institutional adoption’—the sort of words you use when there’s no sausage but the director insists on a sumptuous feast.
But when one sifts through the records, the samizdat and the Party minutes, the alleged source mysteriously vanishes. Larsen, it seems, never etched so specific a prophecy in the stone tablets of public discourse. No speech. No interview. Not even the trace of an old telegram. It’s as if the quote itself was exiled to Siberia, never to be seen.
Here’s what actually lingered in the icy air: Larsen, with his talk of toppling the crusty old SWIFT order, and Garlinghouse—another comrade at the helm—once estimated five years ago that perhaps, just perhaps, XRP would bite into 14% of SWIFT’s global pie. But a $1,000 price? That takes imagination—a major export of the crypto economy.
Now, with recent whispers about Ripple sharing borscht with SWIFT around the fireside (all unconfirmed, of course), this thousand-dollar myth marches forward, gaining supporters who spread it with the fervor of babushkas discussing ration lines. And so, comrades, beware: in crypto, rumors travel faster than a rumor about new ration cards. 😏🪙
