$ 5 for xrp this year is over optimistic thinking, in my opinion that is very difficult to achieve.
XRP has almost reached its maximum growth rate of $ 3 and with such a large supply, $ 5 is almost impossible to achieve despite the BTC's return to $ 20k later this year.
I expect $ 1.5 ~ $ 2 for the XRP from now until the end of 2019.
Not even $1.5. The team seem very interested to have more money than pursuing the adoption. If they are to make the price of XRP go higher, they should be the first to stop shorting what they have. They announce big news, and then dump after a bad news and law suit news and then partnering news and then dump again. I doubt it will be a $1 this December.
