Not really slop though, is it?
If you don't understand the masculine urge to wear a dinner jacket, smoke a hoagie and get drunk, to celebrate the glory of being right... then I don't know what to tell you besides your testicular fortitude must be lacking, and that YNGMI, anon.

>Like Schwartz said, it must remain cheap
You’ve mis-quoted Schwartz’s, He never said the price “must remain cheap.”
>If price moves a few decimal points, the fraction of a cent fee becomes $1.30, the $13.30, then $130.00
Your maths is off by five orders of magnitude.
The standard XRPL fee is 10 drops = 0.00001 XRP. Even if XRP hit $100, that’s $0.001 per transaction; at $1,000 it’s $0.01—still pocket-lint, nowhere near $1.30.
>it MUST remain cheap so the network fees are cheap/practically free
Fees aren’t hard-coded anyway.
The ledger’s fee-voting mechanism lets validators raise or lower the base fee at will, keeping it fractions of a cent no matter what the market does.
Ultimately, a higher XRP price actually helps the network.
A scarcer, more valuable unit gives gateways tighter spreads, deeper liquidity, and lets the same $ value move with fewer on-ledger hops—exactly what cross-border settlement demands.
cheap transactions don’t require a cheap token. The XRPL’s design keeps fees microscopic while price appreciation is not only possible, it’s desirable
