Ripple CTO David Schwartz’s $0.006 XRP Gamble: How a $10 Price Would Net $260M

David Schwartz, Ripple's Chief Technology Officer, might just have pulled off one of crypto's savviest early bets—if XRP hits his moon-shot target.

Back when XRP traded at a fraction of a cent, Schwartz loaded up at $0.006 per token. Fast forward to today’s speculation: a surge to $10 would turn that gamble into a staggering $260 million payday.

From pocket change to generational wealth?

Schwartz’s playbook reads like a crypto fever dream—buy low, hold through lawsuits, and (maybe) cash out during the next mania cycle. But with XRP’s legal limbo and volatile price swings, even true believers hedge their bets.

The fine print:

This isn’t financial advice—just a reminder that in crypto, the line between ‘visionary’ and ‘bag holder’ depends entirely on timing. And whether the SEC finally loses its appetite for lawsuits.

One thing’s certain: if XRP ever touches $10, Wall Street’s ‘blockchain skeptics’ will suddenly remember they ‘always believed in distributed ledger technology.’
