Currently the price of Ripple is at $0.05, this will take quite a long time and also require a very large amount of capital to be burned. I don't have high hopes for XRP because technological developments are not very attractive to investors so the price can rise to $1 which is quite good rather than hoping for the price to reach $100 which in my opinion is unreasonable.
The Ripple team says XRP will flip Ethereum after the SEC case ends, they speak well but the price is always the same.
That's all he has to keep investors, it's to fuel interest with bold statements but they don't try to improve the XRP price, holders are tired of this monotony.
And I think Lawsuit or no lawsuit, nothing will change
