U.Today - Ripple CTO David Schwartz has sparked a whole new price speculation for XRP via one of his latest tweets. Generally recognized as his favorite social media platform, Schwartz an advertisement from Amazon (NASDAQ:AMZN) on X containing a device that claims it can emit over 600 dB of sound. As an engineer, the Ripple CTO noted that sounds as high as 580db are detrimental to life on Earth.

While the Ripple CTO appeared to be having an honest conversation with his more than 455,000 followers on the X app, some community members have connected the dots, suggesting that the veteran leader's figures were signs of how high the price of the cryptocurrency can go.

One popular XRP community member, @XRPcryptowolf, drew the conclusion from the tweet that the price target of $580 appears to have been confirmed.

XRP is a from this bogus price call and, as a top insider at Ripple Labs, it is uncertain whether Schwartz will deliberately speculate on the price of XRP to drive a frenzy in the community. Still, comments bordering on the call hinge on encouraging users to take action across, that is, to stack up on the coin.
