XRP is fast and cheap as a base currency. And there is a slight chance that Ripple will use their multi-billion dollar war chest and sales team to incentivize banks/money transfer agents to use it at some point. That's the objective bull case.

10-year bond rate jumped to 3.15% today. This is bad for crypto - when you can earn 3%+ in USD, it's harder to justify holding FX in $BTC which yields 0%. BTC benefited greatly from 0% interest rates in the last 10 years. That party is over.
