Ripple's David Schwartz recently shed light on the inverse correlation between the number of XRP units and its price. Schwartz suggested that, if there were only 50 billion XRP units instead of the current 100 billion, the price would likely be twice as much. However, positively correlating with the cost, the higher price would also require more out of everyone involved. He further stressed that reducing the XRP count too low, such as to 20 million units, would make it difficult for humans to comprehend the figures due to the small number of units.

Schwartz then compared XRP and Bitcoin (BTC) prices, noting that the latter had a decimal structure whereas the former had larger units which made it easier for humans to comprehend it. He went on to acknowledge that BTC prices were prone to human mistakes due to their decimal nature; as opposed to XRP which had a much lower number when exchanged, thus making mistakes less likely.

In conclusion, while the inverse correlation between XRP units and price can be seen in a negative light, Schwartz pointed out that a higher cost would result in the same drastically increased value. He then explained the difference between the XRP and BTC prices and the potential risks associated with their individual transactions.
