Recent discussions about whether XRP can create trillionaire fortunes remain heated, but such focus actually diverges from the core issue. From the perspective of market deep logic, what truly deserves attention is the underlying signal of "U.S. strategic crypto reserves" and the global reshaping of the crypto market it implies.
Why does Joshua suggest that XRP is more suitable than BTC to serve as a strategic reserve? The key lies in the "connection with U.S. financial institutions" and the compliance imagination space it brings. Although BTC has the advantage of high decentralization, this characteristic also makes it difficult for a single country to effectively control. In contrast, Ripple Labs behind XRP maintains long-term cooperation with U.S. financial institutions and has concrete application cases in cross-border payments, giving it a stronger competitive edge in the "controllability" dimension.
However, it must be honest that the current U.S. crypto asset regulatory system is not yet fully mature, and discussing "strategic reserves" at this stage may still be premature. But from another perspective, traditional finance and regulatory agencies have already begun to recognize the strategic value of crypto assets, which is an important signal in itself.
In the future, crypto assets that have the opportunity to enter the "reserve-grade" sequence should meet three basic conditions: strong compliance, clear application scenarios, and controllable market value fluctuations. Besides XRP, mainstream assets like ETH and USDT are also competing for this position. This is the core that market participants should focus on tracking.
From a cyclical perspective, the short-term feasibility of XRP entering U.S. strategic reserves is very low, and the so-called trillionaire is still a distant concept. But from a long-term view, it is highly probable that countries worldwide will incorporate crypto assets into their strategic reserves, which will mark the industry’s move toward maturity.

Strong controllability can be considered as reserves? Then the US might as well issue its own currency.
Speaking of which, if XRP really becomes successful this time, early believers will truly make a fortune.
Dissing BTC for decentralization—this argument is a bit funny.
Instead of worrying about trillionaires, better to see who can survive until that day.
If the US truly treats crypto as a strategic asset, BTC is probably the most solid chip.
Compliance is strong, but the risks are also high.
The most valuable point of this article is: the probability of this happening in the long term is quite high.
Reserve-level competition, the USDT stablecoin track is a bit cold.
Short-term is low in realism, so discussing this now is more about mindset?
Mid-term focus on XRP, but I’m more interested in whether there are similar assets domestically.
Is controllability really effective? History tells us it’s not necessarily.

Strong controllability means it's a harvestable code. Do you really think the US will let XRP fly freely?

Strong controllability? That just means XRP is tightly controlled by the government.
No matter how nicely you put it, it can't change the essence of centralization...
Dreaming of becoming a trillionaire, but those who truly make money have already invested.
The reserve level framework is interesting; it seems to be paving the way for the compliance troops.
I'm holding a wait-and-see attitude on XRP; BTC actually makes me feel more secure.
The long-term belief that cryptocurrencies will become strategic assets is valid, but the timeline feels a bit vague.

More controllable? That means the government can freeze it at any time. Where is the reserve in that?

Basically, it's about controllability. BTC is too wild for regulators to handle, while XRP has the backing of financial institutions, making it easier to manage.

honestly the whole "trillionaire" narrative is just aesthetic noise masking the real paradigm shift here... what we're witnessing is the deconstruction of monetary sovereignty itself, and xrp's "controllability" is basically admitting centralization is the price of institutional adoption. kinda defeats the purpose doesn't it

The word "controllability" made me laugh when I saw it. Does the US control XRP? Haha
---
Basically, the government wants a coin they can hold "evidence" against. I understand this logic, but don't expect XRP to skyrocket.
---
Compliance, application, volatility control... sounds like choosing a reserve fund, but the crypto world is still playing with a gambler's mentality.
---
Can the dream of a trillionaire wake up, everyone? Long-term optimism doesn't mean you can get rich overnight.
---
BTC was excluded because it's too independent. That's not a flaw, everyone!
---
ETH, USDT are also vying for this position? Does that mean buying XRP now isn't necessarily stable?
---
The industry is mature, but my wallet is still immature, haha.
---
Another "important signal"... no matter how important the signal is, it can't enter the reserve vault now. Next year's matters must be earned this year.

Controllability? Laughs. Isn't this just another way of saying centralized?
---
Talking about XRP creating trillionaires is just talk; the key is who first attains reserve-level status.
---
Honesty? It's just that the timing isn't right yet. Don't get your hopes up, everyone.
---
The reserve-level criteria are written beautifully, but right now, there isn't a single project that qualifies.
---
Long-term perspective? I only know that in the short term, wallets will shrink first. Long-term can be discussed later.
---
Joshua's rhetoric sounds convincing, but can compliance and controllability really help XRP surpass BTC?
---
This discussion has overcomplicated things. Basically, it's just a game of strategy.

Strong compliance, certain applications, controllable volatility... In plain terms, it means you have to follow the rules.
