Thats a good point, if demand remains the same.

But otherwise this document spells out everything that Ripple/XRP critics have been trying to drill into XRP Army conscripts for half a decade.

That Ripple is in the business of selling XRP and uses ambiguity between the context of “ripple” and deflection to say there are third parties using enough XRP to make it scarce in the future. When this was never happening, and to this day is not happening.

The complaint mentions a third party that paid to get XRP this year to use a Ripple Labs product. They bought the XRP from Ripple to the tune of $70mm and immediately sold it on the public markets.

I think the illusion is shattered with this complaint. But XRP should be able to retain its transfer usage, just back at 2013 price levels.
