A crypto commentator believes XRP could deliver far better returns than Bitcoin in this cycle, and he’s not alone. In a tweet that stirred debate, the analyst known as Common Sense Crypto said a $1,000 investment in XRP today might grow to anywhere between $10,000 and $50,000.
He compared that to Bitcoin, where the same investment might only increase to around $1,300 or $1,500.
He explained that while Bitcoin’s price may look impressive, currently around $120,000, what really matters is return on investment.

According to him, XRP lower market cap and higher growth potential make it the better bet right now. He ended his tweet by telling investors to “choose wisely.”

This view isn’t new in the XRP community. Many long-time holders believe XRP still has room for exponential growth, especially when compared to Bitcoin’s massive size.
XRP market cap is currently around $188 billion, while Bitcoin sits at $2.37 trillion. Supporters say that the difference alone gives XRP price more room to move.
Another analyst, Edoardo Farina from Alpha Lions Academy, shared a similar opinion earlier this year. He referenced the XRP price solid surge between November 2024 and January 2025, when the token increased from $0.50 to $3.40, a 7x return.
During the same time frame, Bitcoin price increased from $68,000 to $112,000, an approximately 64% rise. Based on that, Farina argued that XRP offered a much better return in that window.
Right now, XRP price trades at around $3.18. That means $1,000 would buy about 314 tokens. If XRP were to reach $31.85, that investment would grow to $10,000.
To hit $50,000, XRP would need to rise above $159 per coin. Some influencers, like Dustin Layton, have predicted similar numbers. But a price of that magnitude would be worth XRP a market cap of nearly $9.5 trillion, more than three times bigger than Bitcoin now.
Of course, not everyone agrees. Critics say the math sounds great, but history tells a different story. XRP price still hasn’t reclaimed its all-time high from 2018, which was around $3.84. Meanwhile, Bitcoin has already broken past its previous highs and nearly doubled.
One user, Justin Windheim, pushed back hard against Common Sense Crypto’s forecast, calling it “crap” and saying a 50x return this year just isn’t realistic.
Other platforms like Changelly and Telegaon have also released more cautious projections. Their data suggests XRP price might reach $50 sometime around 2035, and could approach $150 closer to 2040.
There’s a wide gap between short-term dreams and long-term models. While some investors hope XRP will fly this cycle, others are screaming for a dose of reality. Either way, speculation about XRP’s future is heating up yet again, and far from over.
