As Schwartz explained earlier, even if there is a 10% chance of $XRP hitting $100 in…

The numbers behind the call Wood’s argument starts with data most economists aren’t watching closely enough. According to Truflation, a real-time inflation tracker that pulls from millions of data points rather than the Bureau of Labor Statistics’ lagging methodology, US CPI inflation is running at just 0.86%…
