The long-standing rivalry between Bitcoin maximalists and XRP supporters has again flared up, fueled by a bold prediction from a well-known Bitcoin advocate.
A social media personality known as “Bitcoin Dad” has painted a grim picture for XRP’s future, projecting a near-total collapse in value within the next decade. Meanwhile, his outlook for Bitcoin remains sky-high, with price targets that place BTC in a class of its own.
10 million XRP to Buy a 2014 Ford Focus
Recently, Bitcoin Dad took to X to forecast XRP’s value in 2035, suggesting it would take 10 million XRP to buy a 2014 Ford Focus—a car currently selling for approximately $8,000 in the used market. This calculation implies that XRP would be priced at an astonishingly low $0.0008 per token, representing a staggering 99.9% decline from its current valuation of $2.4.
This pessimistic outlook comes as XRP has seen notable market activity. Its price has surged over 560% from cycle lows to challenge its all-time high of $3.4. Some analysts remain confident in its future, with price targets exceeding $10 in the current cycle.
Despite this optimism, XRP remains a controversial asset among Bitcoin maximalists, who often argue that its supply dynamics pose a risk to investors. Their core concern stems from Ripple’s significant control over the asset, as the company reportedly holds over 40% of the total XRP supply—a fact that maximalists see as a red flag.
Bitcoin’s Dominance Projected to Soar
While Bitcoin Dad has predicted doom for XRP, his forecasts for Bitcoin are radically different. He envisions BTC’s purchasing power increasing dramatically over the next decade, presenting a future where a handful of bitcoins could buy military-grade assets.
In one instance, he suggests that 6.15 BTC could be enough to purchase an M1 Abrams tank—a machine valued at around $19 million. This estimate translates to a projected Bitcoin price of $3 million per coin.

In another scenario, he claims that 100 BTC would be sufficient to buy a U.S. nuclear submarine priced between $2 billion and $5 billion. At the lower end of that range, this would value Bitcoin at $20 million per coin by 2035.
Ripple’s Push for Legitimacy
A long-standing rivalry between Bitcoin loyalists and XRP enthusiasts has reached new heights, fueled by recent revelations about Ripple’s top leadership. Ripple CEO Brad Garlinghouse has reportedly met with Donald Trump’s inner circle, pushing for XRP’s inclusion in a potential US cryptocurrency reserve. A decision that could have far-reaching implications for the crypto landscape.
This push for official recognition has only intensified the divide, as Bitcoin proponents remain staunchly opposed to XRP’s centralized nature and Ripple’s influence over its distribution.
The Battle for Crypto Supremacy Continues
Bitcoin maximalists, who believe BTC is the only true decentralized digital asset, and XRP supporters, who argue that the asset’s utility in cross-border payments justifies its place in the market, are fighting an ideological battle unlikely to end anytime soon.
As the market evolves and regulations take shape, one thing remains certain—bold predictions like these will continue to fuel debate and speculation in the ever-dynamic cryptocurrency landscape.
