I never told that I am not bullish on the XRP price. In fact if you ask me about the target for the exactly in this folder I think it may reach to 8 to 10 dollars or even more.
As already mentioned the XRP community is very strong plus they have the market players, they have big investors and bankers and all these things make them a good investment opportunity.
It will give good returns in this bull market but moving forward for the next 5 to 10 years I am not sure if they can survive.
Business talks about a thing they call brand loyalty, which likely they hope will attain a level that could be akin to community, but bottom line business is about the bottom line, community notwithstanding.
So for long long long term I am inclined to believe (whether actually true or not) that community is more likely to endure.
But trying to build community on business I suspect bottom line is goign to win over community which I suspect could be a larger part of my leaning toward free open source and grass roots over commercial endeavours.
Building business on community though seems to work, I look at things like Red Hat (Linux) for that, the community (Linux) might outlast Red Hat but...
