Frankly speaking, I was expecting Ripple to break $1B market cap when it was at it's peak, but I'm now quite sure that it will do it. Ripple is not like a coin with billions in supply so don't make the mistake to compare it with DOGE or such.

We are talking about something different here. I believe that people involved in it know what they are doing (despite that I don't even bothered to research it... I was only following the market).
