    Lets be real. Doge has a circulating supply that is almost double that of XRP. has no real use case, no real dev team, is a meme coin, 1 person owns 40% of the supply. yet it hit over 40X its ATH. If you dont think XRP could do 100X from here. YOU ARE AN ABSOLUTE IDIOT.

    Lets be real. Does anyone even give a fuck about the $XRP SEC case anymore LOL. We know the outcome and clearly folks are buying XRP and signing up with @Ripple
