So apparently we're going to see a few countries using brics pay to make cross border payments on the XRPL whilst using XRP as the bridge asset. The fact that this is actually happening really got me excited and I started thinking. Based on the mood and the atmosphere surrounding XRP, I'm starting to believe that banks already own a bunch of XRP, or the ones who are already planning on using this technology own a threshold amount which will be the average that each bank owns. XRP has it's escrow for anybody else who wants to use the technology without raising its value or tanking it. Tanking it will be bad for market sentiment and I'll explain why we want to avoid the public having any doubts, as they could play a critical role in the price growth. So now banks own a bunch of this stuff and there's obviously a lot less available than people think there is or than there once was. People catch wind that banks are adopting the tech (BRICS Pay is a good example.) and they FOMO in and drive the price up on an already shocked supply. I do believe XRP was never meant for the public and were only here to buy it at much higher prices as it skyrockets and it's supply shrinks and people FOMO in worse than they did with BTC given this thing actually has an incredibly resilient use case. This seemed like a longshot but given the atmosphere, I'm hoping this is more than just a CryptoBro take.
I got booted from the XRP community for being a meanie and the mods won't justify their decision. So I'll post it here, where my thoughts aren't shunned.
