At the time of writing, XRP is changing hands at $2.33, down 4% over the past 24 hours but still down almost 50% from its previous record high. Should XRP muster up the strength to push towards $8, this would mark a 243% upswing from current price levels. For instance, a $60,000 investment might balloon to approximately $206,000. Q: How big does my position need to be for $300,000 to be this epic trade?A: More than likely higher than $1 million will make it a great milestone trade for big-time investors.

Smaller Investors Will See Slight Gains
While a fourfold gain is significant, smaller retail investors, many of whom own less than $1,000 worth of XRP, could experience less of an impact from the gains. The fantasy of $1,000 XRP is nowhere near and nothing more than a pipe dream and that’s pushing it. It is something for which we maintained hope, but which at best may take the next ten years – if it happens at all – Matthew Brienen, executive director at CryptoGuard, told Broadband TV News.

Growing Interest in Minotaurus (MTAUR)
With the focus on XRP rising, there are also investors who are looking for other altcoins that may have higher potential for growth and for that purpose lower values that we need to work with. One such project that has been catching the eye of investors is Minotaurus (MTAUR) a Greek mythology-themed blockchain game platform.

MTAUR is catching the attention of traders who are interested in higher rewards with a shorter holding period and offers an alternative for users who are new to crypto, want faster execution speed, and provide additional security from MTAUR smart contracts.
