Bitboy: “In 5 years, You’re Gonna Wish You Bought More XRP”
Cryptocurrency influencer Ben Armstrong, widely known as BitBoy, has recently reiterated his positive stance on XRP, the digital asset associated with Ripple. In a post on X, Armstrong expressed his belief that in five years, investors might regret not acquiring more tokens now.
There are many reasons to be optimistic about XRP, including the potential introduction of XRP exchange-traded funds (ETFs) and Ripple’s anticipated initial public offering (IPO). Many in the community are confident that these developments will significantly impact the asset’s value in the long term.
Is XRP About to Rise?
In July 2023, Armstrong proposed that XRP could reach valuations between $15 and $35 by the end of 2025 if Ripple’s IPO is timed properly. He further expanded on this prediction in August, suggesting a potential rise to $52 resulting in a market cap exceeding $5 trillion .
While Armstrong’s recent post did not specify a precise target by 2029, he maintained his conviction that investors might wish they had accumulated more. This statement has elicited varied responses from the crypto community, with some supporting his bullish outlook and others expressing skepticism based on its historical performance.
XRP’s Historical Performance
To provide context for these predictions, it’s essential to examine XRP’s price action over the past five years. On October 12, 2019, the digital asset closed the day at $0.2732. The digital asset is currently trading at $0.5391, 97.3% higher than its price five years ago
Although this growth is positive, it pales compared to other major cryptocurrencies during the same period. Bitcoin, for instance, has seen a remarkable increase exceeding 630%, and Ethereum has outperformed both, with a five-year gain of over 1,200%.

XRP’s Prospects
The disparity in performance between XRP and its peers has led some market participants to question the validity of extremely bullish predictions. One commenter noted that his investment in XRP five years ago has not yielded significant returns, casting doubt on the potential for a dramatic increase, even in the next five years.
However, the digital asset is in a different state than it was five years ago. Ripple has made notable strides in the global adoption of its technology and XRP, and approval of the ETF recently filed by Bitwise could be a major turning point in the asset’s history. If all these factors work to benefit XRP, it could be higher than anyone can imagine in five years.
