The $35,000 XRP Prediction - What I Learned

“XRP will be gold-backed and hit $35k”—that viral claim set off a frenzy. I trace the post back to Baron Dominus, the blowback, and former Ripple director Matt Hamilton’s blunt rebuttal: “You can’t back XRP with gold.” We break down why a fixed 100B supply can’t flex to reserves, why value would track gold (not moon), and how “money printer go brrr” doesn’t apply to XRP. We also look at gold-backed stablecoins and what they actually do. Then I pivot from hype to utility: community chat, the mid-video disclaimer, a quick affiliate note, and a grounded discovery—Unity Nodes—where phones verify telecom networks and earn crypto (BTC, Ethereum, ADA). It’s a reminder to chase real use cases, not fantasies.
