A recent discussion circulating across social media has brought focus to how investors interpret long-term price expectations in the crypto market.
In a video shared on X, financial commentator Levi Rietveld discussed remarks involving David Schwartz and a debate attributed to Elon Musk during a hearing involving OpenAI.
Musk reportedly suggested that many crypto projects lack legitimacy. In response to this discussion, Schwartz stated that there is wide agreement that a significant number of crypto projects are scams, while disagreement remains over identifying which ones are not.

Question Raised on $10,000 XRP Projection
The conversation took a more pointed direction when an X user raised a question about widespread claims circulating in parts of the crypto community.
The user cited narratives linked to crypto analysis discussions that suggest XRP could reach $10,000 within a decade. The question asked whether such expectations hold any rational basis for investors who continue to support those projections.
Schwartz responded by focusing on investor behavior and probability-based reasoning. He argued that if a small number of very wealthy and rational investors believed there was a 1% chance of XRP reaching $10,000 in 10 years, its price today would already reflect a significantly higher valuation. He suggested that such investors would act on that belief, increasing demand and pushing prices upward.
He further questioned why such price movements have not occurred if those assumptions were widely accepted among informed participants. His response implied that the absence of such market action challenges the credibility of extreme long-term price expectations.

Expected Value Logic in Market Behavior
The commentary in Rietveld’s video focuses on expected value reasoning, a principle used in financial decision-making where outcomes are assessed based on probability-weighted returns. Under this logic, even a small probability of an extremely high outcome can influence current pricing if enough capital believes in it.
Rietveld explained that this type of reasoning is commonly used by sophisticated investors when evaluating uncertain assets, including early-stage technology investments. He noted that market pricing often reflects collective probability assessments rather than isolated predictions or online speculation.
At the same time, he stated that forecasts suggesting XRP could reach $10,000 in a decade remain highly speculative. According to him, such figures are not supported by traditional valuation methods and should be treated cautiously, even though they remain widely discussed in online crypto communities.
Rietveld concluded that while long-term predictions remain common in crypto discourse, actual investor behavior and pricing patterns often provide a clearer indication of what the market collectively considers realistic.
