XRP analyst and community figure BarriC claims that skeptics will be “left behind” when XRP surges to price targets ranging from $10 to a staggering $1,000. His comments come amid XRP’s months-long consolidation around the $2 mark, despite broader bullish momentum in the crypto market, particularly with Bitcoin reaching new all-time highs.
BarriC, known for his optimistic projections, has faced skepticism for his outlook on XRP’s future. Critics often cite the asset’s prolonged stagnation since its peak at $3.4 in 2018 and its large circulating supply as barriers to explosive growth. However, BarriC draws a parallel with Bitcoin’s historic ascent — from under $1 to over $110,000 — emphasizing that what once seemed improbable eventually became reality.
He argues that just as many doubted Bitcoin during its early years, today’s XRP skeptics might one day regret missing out. “These are the same people who dismissed BTC as a fad,” BarriC said, referring to critics who labeled Bitcoin “dead on arrival.” According to him, XRP’s previous surge from $0.006 to over $3 in 2017 proves that massive rallies are possible, even if they defy conventional expectations.
To reach his predicted price milestones, XRP would need to rally anywhere from 327% to over 42,000% from its current price near $2.34. While many view these numbers as unrealistic in the short term, long-term projections from analysts at Changelly and Telegaon show some alignment. Changelly expects XRP to reach $100 by 2034 and $1,000 by 2040. Telegaon offers a similar timeline for the $100 target.

Despite differing forecasts, the growing discourse around XRP’s potential underscores a critical divide in the crypto space: believers vs. doubters. While the market remains cautious, BarriC and like-minded analysts maintain that history tends to favor the bold — and that the real risk may lie in not believing at all.
