The crypto world is seeing an interesting show as people who used to be against XRP suddenly change their minds. At the center of this development is Davinci Jeremie, who was once known as “the biggest XRP hater” but now predicts that the coin will reach a price of $20 to $24.

This remarkable shift has sent ripples through the digital asset community, particularly among XRP’s devoted followers who are savoring the moment.

Former Critics Join The Bullish Chorus

Real Vision CEO Raoul Pal and experienced trader Peter Brandt are also in a good mood. Brandt now thinks the market will be worth $500 billion, which means the price will be $8. This is a big change from his earlier doubts.

With the current price of $2.44, these forecasts show XRP may see profits ranging from 227% to an incredible 883%.

$XRP TO $20-$24 this bull run says Davinci biggest $XRP HATER on this planet!

What do you think about it? Huge shift in price prediction by Davinci!

The Sweet Taste Of Vindication For XRP Supporters

Tony Edward, the person behind the Thinking Crypto podcast, was unable to resist highlighting the absurdity. “The capitulation of XRP haters is a beautiful thing to behold,” he observed, emphasizing the urgency with which billionaire financial leaders and influencers, such as Mike Novogratz, are adjusting their stances.

The community’s reaction has been a combination of triumph and “I told you so” attitudes, as they observe former critics attempt to realign themselves with XRP’s upward trajectory. The XRP Army is having a field day documenting each conversation, as this shift in sentiment has become a talking point across social media platforms.

The $XRP hater capitulation is a beautiful thing to behold. From influencers like Davinchi to hedge fund leaders like Mike Novogratz.

Banking Ties Remain A Point Of Contention

Though his pricing view is positive, Jeremie keeps a complicated connection with XRP’s basic value proposition. He is worried about the underlying flaws in the conventional banking system, which is intimately related with XRP.

Though many supporters consider the crypto as an enabler, Jeremie sees its link with traditional financial infrastructure as a drawback.

According to him, XRP’s operational structure and conventional institutions like the Federal Reserve create an element of uncertainty that makes it unfit for long-term investment. He sees similarities between the two.

Changing Mindsets

This changing narrative within the cryptocurrency sector illustrates how market dynamics can compel even the most fervent critics to reevaluate their stances.

The way the XRP community reacted to these changes shows how emotionally attached many people are to the project’s success.

As price estimates keep going up and people who used to be against cryptocurrencies change their minds, the cryptocurrency market shows how quickly opinions can change in this dynamic area.

They say journalists never truly clock out. But for Christian, that's not just a metaphor, it's a lifestyle. By day, he navigates the ever-shifting tides of the cryptocurrency market, wielding words like a seasoned editor and crafting articles that decipher the jargon for the masses. When the PC goes on hibernate mode, however, his pursuits take a more mechanical (and sometimes philosophical) turn.

Christian's journey with the written word began long before the age of Bitcoin. In the hallowed halls of academia, he honed his craft as a feature writer for his college paper. This early love for storytelling paved the way for a successful stint as an editor at a data engineering firm, where his first-month essay win funded a months-long supply of doggie and kitty treats – a testament to his dedication to his furry companions (more on that later).

Christian then roamed the world of journalism, working at newspapers in Canada and even South Korea. He finally settled down at a local news giant in his hometown in the Philippines for a decade, becoming a total news junkie. But then, something new caught his eye: cryptocurrency. It was like a treasure hunt mixed with storytelling - right up his alley!

So, he landed a killer gig at NewsBTC, where he's one of the go-to guys for all things crypto. He breaks down this confusing stuff into bite-sized pieces, making it easy for anyone to understand (he salutes his management team for teaching him this skill).

Think Christian's all work and no play? Not a chance! When he's not at his computer, you'll find him indulging his passion for motorbikes. A true gearhead, Christian loves tinkering with his bike and savoring the joy of the open road on his 320-cc Yamaha R3. Once a speed demon who hit 120mph (a feat he vowed never to repeat), he now prefers leisurely rides along the coast, enjoying the wind in his thinning hair.

Speaking of chill, Christian's got a crew of furry friends waiting for him at home. Two cats and a dog. He swears cats are way smarter than dogs (sorry, Grizzly), but he adores them all anyway. Apparently, watching his pets just chillin’ helps him analyze and write meticulously formatted articles even better.

Here's the thing about this guy: He works a lot, but he keeps himself fueled by enough coffee to make it through the day - and some seriously delicious (Filipino) food. He says a delectable meal is the secret ingredient to a killer article. And after a long day of crypto crusading, he unwinds with some rum (mixed with milk) while watching slapstick movies.

Looking ahead, Christian sees a bright future with NewsBTC. He says he sees himself privileged to be part of an awesome organization, sharing his expertise and passion with a community he values, and fellow editors - and bosses - he deeply respects.

So, the next time you tread into the world of cryptocurrency, remember the man behind the words – the crypto crusader, the grease monkey, and the feline philosopher, all rolled into one.
