It took Bitcoin about 4 years to get from $150 to $10000 and that was without having a monitorized flow. In that same time, a 4 year period, Ripple went from $0,006 to an all time high of $3. No, it will not even go past $5 probably, but if you invest smart you might make a small profit.
well your argument is at least strange. You are saying that Ripple went from 0,006$ to 3$ (500x) and bitcoin went from 150$ to 10000$ (66x) and that it proves Ripple cannot do better than bitcoin. I am not buying it.
While some people expect bitcoin to grow as much as 100x more in a few years time (Kaspersky predicts it to be a million in 2020), I think the same is doable by any other crypto. So maybe Ripple will not go up to 10,000; but it theoretically could go up to 100-300$ in a few years.
