David Schwartz Makes Major Statement On XRP Price That Stuns XRP Army

David Schwartz has strong opinions about XRP, but he rarely shares them and has been criticized by the community for a lack of optimism about XRP.

Previous comments, like his recent statement that suggests that major financial players don’t believe XRP can hit $10,000 in 10 years, have drawn even more criticism.

The former Ripple CTO has addressed this directly. His post caught the attention of Abs Nassif, host of the Good Evening Crypto podcast, who brought the statement to his audience for discussion.

The Reason for a Lack of Optimism

Schwartz was candid about his position. “It’s kind of sad that I don’t feel comfortable sharing my optimism about XRP,” he wrote, noting his discomfort extends to cryptocurrencies generally. His concern is that public optimism from someone in his position risks being read as self-serving or, at worst, deliberate manipulation.

The statement is significant. Schwartz helped build XRP, and his technical involvement with Ripple and the XRP Ledger places him in a category few others occupy. His optimism, by his own admission, exists. He is choosing not to express it freely, citing the weight his words carry.

The XRP Army Reacts

Nassif posted the statement, asking his audience if this could be Schwartz’s reason for his public reservation about XRP. Reactions varied across the community, with several responses expressing support for Schwartz. One commenter urged him to speak freely, signaling that his community stands behind him.

Some pushed back on the idea that his silence should concern anyone. One person argued that everyone’s financial situation is different, that opinions carry emotional weight for those deeply invested. He suggested that individuals should evaluate the information independently rather than look to Schwartz for direction.

One response took a more skeptical view. The commenter noted that Schwartz does not usually communicate strong optimism publicly. This suggests that on that basis alone, XRP is unlikely to reach new highs. Another pointed out that Schwartz is simply being responsible. His words carry influence, and he knows it.

The Weight of Influence

Schwartz occupies an unusual position. He holds genuine technical authority over a project that millions of people have invested in financially and emotionally. One commenter agreed with his decision to stay quiet because he might get in trouble.

Alongside Ripple, the SEC sued Ripple CEO Brad Garlinghouse and executive Chris Larsen. Schwartz may have landed in a similar position if he were a strong public advocate.

His choice to stay measured reflects an awareness of his influence. Whether that restraint serves the community or frustrates it depends entirely on individual opinions.
