As we all have seen ripple has been quite strong these past few days and with all that it has done over the past months compared to most other currencies and the launch of xrapid is actually starting to show in its price.
There is so much talk about ripple taking over bitcoin and being 10$ what are your thoughts on this?

I wouldn't out-rightly disregard ripple blockchain and its token, but believe me ripple is never the new bitcoin, it is not near bitcoin neither. For me from the investment sense, any token that wants to compare to bitcoin has to be bullish long term, Anything other than that means the project lacks growth consistency and poor adoption by new investors.

I do not know how you came to the conclusion that ripple can take over bitcoin, if you are talking in terms of marketcap bitcoin is way ahead and when the ripple will grow bitcoin will move first because mostly bitcoin is the first mover of the exponential bull runs so i do not think that is going to happen.

There where many attempts by XRP to get in the Cross border payments and be the de-facto payments via rapids etc. but it so far never worked out in a scale that would launch XRP to 10$.

Ripple has a large group of aupporters, investors and holders, the companh even though blamed of being run like a centrqlized corporate company is still active and not only coming up with new developmental upgrades and new products but their partnerships and business deals with other financial groups are also impressive but i think bitcoon has its own class, category and charm so we cannot compare the two in any case.

I don't know how to explain it to you. If you think ripple has the power to overtake bitcoin then why don't you sell everything you have and buy ripple? After a while the ripple community wakes up and wakes up to create hype.

The main purpose of those who spread such news is to fool the people by creating hype in the market. I wouldn't advise anyone to buy this coin, this coin is the next bitcoin!

Next bitcoin, how?

Centralized, owned by a bank, unlimited supply, all control by a company, still has some chance dump by them, mine their own token only for their self. Off course, that's not gonna happen and can't be compared with bitcoin.

Ripple is next ripple.
When we will be mature enough that every project and coin is unique in its own sense and there are dozens of factors and situations effecting each and every project so we cannot just compare them.
I am sick and tired of hearing these comparisons and they sound so childish that they annoy me badly.

From today move your price bar in coinmarketcap, you can't see any time when Ripple marketcap was over 20 times Bitcoin. Ripple doesn't same feature as Bitcoin, here only monero gold can be selected. Price will move first of Bitcoin then could be Ethereum. If Ripple overcame 10 USD, Bitcoin would cross 100k USD.

No, it's not gonna happen.

Crypto is suppose to be for centralized asset, the reason why bitcoin stays at the number 1 because it doesn't change, it's still the decentralized asset that we love before, if it will be replace by Ripple, this crypto market will become centralized, it doesn't make sense really.

Not that much and an invalid comparison for now. Check the huge gap that XRP and ETH have for their market capitalizations. ETH has x3-x4 larger market cap than XRP. And the movement of XRP, I didn't noticed it that much unlike ETH's.

That so much talk means nothing. $10 then with the $0.28 which can't even get into $1 for the meantime is a false hope at the moment. Possible as possible but very low in chances.

This seems to be impossible. I am not a hater of ripple, but $10 and ripple as the next bitcoin? I don't think that I would agree to that. Many people called ripple as a shitcoin for being centralized, yes it does not stop the development because of how many haters they have, but not because it is quite strong lately, it will continue going to the top.

the ripple resistance is one supply too large. maybe if from a few years ago the initial public launch of ripple could limit the supply I think the price of ripple can be high now it can even compete with eth or bitcoin.

And are you gonna believe that there will be significant rise just because of talks and rumours?
Hard to believe people these days. Ripple should take over Eth first before taking over bitcoin.
And I don't think that's gonna happen. $10 is way way on the road. They need to reach the $1 price level first.
And since it is centralized, I don't think many crypto users will vouch for this coin.
So stop dreaming that XRP will be the next bitcoin because it's not gonna happen.

yes it was very difficult for xrp to get to that position $ 10 i think maybe it takes a lot of factors and playing ripple to get to $ 10 because seeing from ripple there is still a lot to fix

I don't see ripple over taking bitcoin. There are many factors that would make people not to buy. Because buying coins is one way that volume is created. The number of the supply is such that it will be a big task of convincing investors but ripple has been a strong force for long.

yes it will be difficult for ripple to shift bitcoin, even if the price of ripple reaches $ 20 I am sure the position of bitcoin will be solid. because ripple was created only to balance bitcoin and come under bitcoin position

That's only their dream and that will never happen. Is that make sense if we are talking about the possibility for ripple to surpass bitcoin while at the same time ripple can't even surpass its old ATH? Dude, that's a big joke that comes from the ripple community and I think that they must try to predict based on the real data.

I think Ripple can replace Bitcoin is very difficult, because the king of all cryptocurrency is Bitcoin, so that making altcoin can replace Bitcoin will definitely be difficult to happen (including Ripple), then in my opinion the fair competition for Ripple is Ethereum and not Bitcoin, because Ripple once took the position of Ethereum (top 2 on coinmarketcap) and it will definitely happen again.

Don't make me laugh, mate. How can Ripple be the next Bitcoin? There is no strong reason that Ripple to be the next Bitcoin, even Ripple cannot overtake Ethereum. For me, Ripple may be the next USDT as they are backed up by the banks. We all know that banks disagree with high volatility. So, they may make the Ripple price be more stable in the future.  ;D

First and foremost, you should stop deceiving yourself that ripple is the next bitcoin. The value of Bitcoin is not its market price in the crypto market but the introduction of Blockchain technology into both the financial ecosystem and every aspect of the entire ecosystem. The value of Bitcoin is based on the existence of the use of Blockchain technology. Ripple on the other hand has nothing relevant to introduce or contribute to the entire world.  Also, there is no way the market value of Ripple can surpass that of Bitcoin.

No one is talking because it is not going to happen. They are not even comparable in terms of price, their fundamentals. There are so many difference that they are in the different league. You should compare Ripple to altcoin not to bitcoin. Or even to fiat based remittance system, like Western Union. $10? might take another year for Ripple to reach that price, sorry to burst the bubble. There's no other coin that can top bitcoin as of now. And this so called "Rippening" is just a dream to be honest.

https://news.bitcoin.com/rising-ripple-threatens-usurp-bitcoin-ushering-rippening/ - 2018 article

yes, the talk have been many years already. it just need more insiders pump.

Can you provide at least a single link that will bring me to the conversation about ripple to be the next bitcoin? or is this just a gimmick? I think that you are trolling us about this. It will not gonna happen and when you are saying $10 and that's more than enough to call that as a big joke created by ripple supporters.

xrapid didn't even bring positive impact to the ripple and look at the chart. it shows that ripple is still stuck in the same place.







The insider didn't have intention to pump the ripple price but they are still doing the opposite thing like dumping the pre-mined coin to the market. The foundation is looking for more money and it didn't wanna waste their money.

I think that when what you were saying was true and with multi-billions dollars of money and ripple team can do that instantly. In fact, the company is looking for more liquidity to make them able to liquidate their assets.

 They are just trying to make a hype for xrp. Though some predicted that way but from it's price today of $.2. Honestly, $10 is overly predicted and overestimated. There's actually no big progress on this coin like upgrade or new about their project to speculate it that much.
 Anyhow, I saw this prediction In this link (https://gov.capital/crypto/xrp/) which I believe most likely to happen.
 
 1 year xrp forecast: .439 USD
 5 year xrp forecast:  3.320 USD

I don't think Ripple will be the next Bitcoin, I can only agree with it if Ripple can surpass the price of each Bitcoin together with its volume can surpass. But I can't deny that Ripple is one of the potential cryptocurrency in this field of business industry. Because as far as I know in some other country just like Bitcoin, Ethereum and Bch are also accepted as a mode of payment to their own local exchange.

yes, we're seeing ripple trying to hype lately probably because insiders need to dump more
ripple started off 100% own by like 2 or 3 people, they dumping most of it already and when they're done with dumping the project is done.

Ripple is a private company active in the crypto sector and they sell their XRP every month. XRP has good technology and good partners but the way XRP delivers XRP to the market makes the value of XRP drop. It is different from Bitcoin, the mining by devices and the 4-year cycle of reducing the reward for 1 block makes Bitcoin highly valuable and steadily increasing.

Ripple is profitable, but it is not possible to replace Bitcoin. Because even to beat Ethereum has never happened,
especially beating Bitcoin as the most powerful crypto coin until now. Regarding Ripple going to a price of $ 10
I doubt too, because since 2018 until now Ripple hasn't touched the all time high price of $ 3.84 again. So it's too
far if we are predicts Ripple to hit a price of $ 10.

We have seen many similar discussion such as "eth is the next btc" or any other altcoins is the next btc. I think it is just a hope/dream from the supporters of the altcoin to see their lovely coin become as popular/success as bitcoin. It is not a mistake though as they are free to hope but in the reality there will be no coins that will be "the next bitcoin".

I won't compare ripple with Bitcoin, the difference is big and ripple is centralized too unlike the fully decentralized Bitcoin, how is this the same? Ripple isn't bad that's why I get some for long term hold but still Bitcoin beats ripple by margin

Another thread that hype a coin to be the next Bitcoin every coin that show a good performance or having a new update always think that it is the next Bitcoin, Ripple is still a long way to go, if Ripple is getting better Bitcoin and all the other coins are getting better also and also moving forward, and $10 price is still speculative at this point in time.

Not a chance, ripple can't take over bitcoin and you should do yourself a favour and stop listening to those misguided forums or whatever, even if ripple miraculously reach as high as $10 still won't match up to btc in terms of tech, bro better use your time in something useful an stop hyping ripple it won't do any good.

i find this funny at first because theres so many people who hate this coin  and now your comparing it to bitcoin my impression changed a bit when i read the xrapid on your description , what was that? ripple seems to be motivated to compete with coins that have thier updates or on the trends . i dont know whats that xrapid but that could be an answer of ripple to have entry on this tough competition happening lately . theres a chance that its value can grow more but too early to say that it can beat btc

Both are the same that can be considered as the digital assets. The ripple community was always creating a non sense prediction like this. From what already stated by the thread creator and we know that how the ripple community becomes very crazy to predict the forecast price of ripple. I just ignore the predictions that already created by them.

Both were also using the blockchain protocol too.

Ripple  cannot even compete with ETH in terms of marketcap, Ripple now rank at number 3 with $12 billion marketcap while ETH has $44 billion, so it's to unrealistic to say that it will be the next bitcoin as that would mean dethroning bitcoin as the king.

Look at the figure, (https://coinmarketcap.com/currencies/bitcoin/).
Bitcoin has $214 billion marketcap,  so you are saying that Ripple which holds 6% (more or less) only of the bitcoin marketcap will replace it? no.



It's even struggling to reach $1 now and aiming for $10, that's non sense.

Ripple will never even come close to Bitcoin because of the huge supply of tokens available and also because of the fact that most of the coins is hold by the company and is centralised.

My thoughts? Uhhh. None.

C'mon man. Is this how you got the idea?
https://i.ibb.co/71wWG9t/3.png (https://imgbb.com/)
While trying to convert your XRP to USD?
You saw the question if Ripple can achieve $10 USD and you did believe it already?

Well, it just might. But, when bitcoin is so far away from it again.
I know there are still investors out there who are waiting for the right time to sell. Believe me, when it hits $1 it will be a big dump.  ;D

Ripple has been pumping money out of us for years to build its own system that is not related to the token

That's wearied to say xrp is the next bitcoin. I believe in Bitcoin its does not mean I did not saw any future on others alts but you have to compare with some fact. Where xrp have huge supply and this makes worse for xrp in terms of price increase. Btc is king of cryptocurrencies and no one can replace them. Even if considerd xrp is a shit coin. I don't think so it can cross 1 dollars... Even if its cross 1 dollars somehow in near future its only give you 3x. Which is very low return when you talking about crypto.

Bitcoin =  decentralized

Ripple = centralized

SO ripple can never become a bitcoin in terms of usage and if you are talking about the price, you will know how much the ripple is going to worth at the end of next market cycle.I expect it would goes to zero. :P

That's right mate, it would be very funny if someone said XRP was the next Bitcoin, even though it was very clear that in terms of supply, development, and categories they were very different even though they were both in the crypto space, so it would be very funny if someone said "Ripple the next bitcoin ".

Its gonna be far from that if ever ripple going to 10$ it means it already surpass bitcoin market cap. Ripple ath as far as I can remember is less than 5$. I like ripple low fee and fast transaction but I am more confident with the bitcoin security.

I dont hold any ripple but Im planning to get some due to the upcoming flare snapshot. This is a free token so we must avail it.

XRP performance for now is quite good, because the price has gone up significantly, but in my opinion it is very difficult to forget BTC, because XRP price movements still follow BTC price movements.

For many years to come, not a single cryptocurrency will be able to overtake Bitcoin, and I think this is impossible even in the future, but Ripple has excellent technologies and capabilities and therefore Ripple is so in demand, but Ripple cannot compete with Bitcoin.

If you look at the decentralized nature of crypto, then ripple wouldn't be the next bitcoin as it is centralized. Its supporters are mostly financial institutions who adopts centralization scheme. But I think because of this nature will ripple gain more supporters consequently adding to its value and its price in the market.

Ripple or XRP is really making a huge improvement and it is the second largest virtual currency after Bitcoin, just before Ethereum. But I believe it is impossible for Ripple to replace bitcoin because it is centralized and most cryptocurrencies like XRP still depends on the trend movement of bitcoin.

Ripple is not interesting in the cryptocurrency world at all. only its volatility attracts investors and traders, but as a technology it is useless.

to compete with bitcoin is something that is not possible for several reasons including the supply of XRP itself
this is my opinion that one day Bitcoin can be replaced but not by XRP for reasons of high transaction fees, slow transaction speeds and many other aspects
For XRP, from a source that I read at https://walletinvestor.com/forecast/xrp-prediction it is possible that XRP will not touch more than 10 $ in a relatively fast time but it does not rule out the possibility that in the long term it can touch the price of 10 $

It is far away for ripple to be the next bitcoin because, as the other coins, ripple stays behind bitcoin and always follows where bitcoin moves.
But ripple can increase higher as what we saw in the last few years, but still, ripple can't overtake bitcoin at the first position in the crypto market.
I think ripple can compete with the other coins, and not bitcoin.
I will be happy to see ripple can back to $1 because I can make a profit like before.
But ripple will need more time to break $1, and that will only happen in the next bull run. While now, ripple can increase step by step while waiting for the bull run comes.

When bitcoin reached 150,000$ then ripple prize will 10$.

Bitcoin is not Bitcoin because of its price. So even if Ripple will be able to reach that 10$ which is certainly impossible, it will not become the next Bitcoin.

There will always be one and only Bitcoin. Ripple, whatever happens to it in the next months, years, and decades will stay an altcoin and only an altcoin. And any altcoin will not become the next Bitcoin ever.

It will be very foolish that compares the other crypto Bitcoin because Bitcoin is the first-ever evolved concept in the digital currency market which has derived its own value because of it's widely used demand. You can say Ripple is a good coin and can be considered as a good investment but it will never achieve the value of the Bitcoin nor it ever surpass the Bitcoin.

The price of XRP buses has increased in price, this is the effect of the price of bitcoin which has increased in price as well, if the price of bitcoin does not increase then XRP will also be stable because so far XRP has not had good news about the development of its project so it can be said that XRP cannot go up if it does not exist good news or support.

That’s why its too impossible for XRP to become the next bitcoin because bitcoin is the top of all. If we see bitcoin goes down below XRP, then that is the time for XRP to takes over but that coin must defeat ETH first. I always heard this thing that some coin will replace bitcoin especially shitcoins claiming to be good at all but in the end failed to get listed at least on the top exchange.

If you look at the price of ripple right now Do you honestly believe that is going to cross 1$ anytime soon because the way i see it should ripple hit 0.5 It will all over the news as a remarkable achievement 10$ is like a dream but is your dream though

XRP has already made to be a payment system to replace the traditional system that is still used by the majority of countries. Ripple has no chance to compete with bitcoin and people knows that so well if ripple is not giving what has already given by bitcoin. Ripple can't even surpass ethereum and it doesn't make sense to call ripple as the next bitcoin for sure.

Ripple has the advantage in the payment sector because the transaction fee is cheap and they are fast. But beating bitcoin? Hard to reach that level. But I am not against of exploring their business in the payment sector as we need a relatively cheap and fast transactions and right now btc and eth are expensive on that terms.

i think no altcoins that can pass the bitcoin for now or in the near future. prediction is just a prediction, it just have a 0.1% chance to become a reality. XRP is a good altcoins. but i think it won't pass ETH first. even if they launch xrapid, i'm sure its price still won't reach $3.

Firstly, XRP can be the next bitcoin because XRP was giving birth through centralization while bitcoin was giving birth to through decentralization and despite XRP seen strong in the few days as you claimed all the crypto created this year perform beautifully in the market than XRP.
XRP dont the attribute of investors making profit but the board making profit.

I think Ripple has a big potential to be the next bitcoin and become the top rank cryptocurrencies knowing that for the a few months ago it surpasses ethereum coin to its rank and became the highest ranked altcoin for almost a semester. But if that will happen there are many hole that Ripple will go through before surpassing the bitcoin's reign.

The XRP movement is very good for now, I hope that XRP will continue to increase, if the prospect is good it could be that XRP is superior to ETH while stepping over BTC in my opinion is still difficult, because BTC is the king of cryptocurrency

Even though I also like Ripple but we have to be realistic that Ripple can not overcome Bitcoin about capitalization and its influence on this market. Bitcoin has strong strengths that Ripple is difficult to break: community supported, decentralize , limited

You should learn more about bitcoin and study more about it then you'll surely know why ripple is not the next bitcoin as you have came up with. Firstly, the bitcoin is up and running since 2009 which is longer than the other cryptocurrency and that means many people have adopted bitcoin and many did use it.

LOL Ripple's system is centralized in which many of us are even not recommending investing in it for the long term. Would you think a controlled system would defeat a crypto that took so many years to gain its current value and had many halving just to strengthen its volatility? Is XRP really that good in terms of the long term usage?

Yes, XRP has a great system that has fast transaction speed with low transaction fees. And yes, XRP has a chance to have its price bigger than it currently was. But then defeating BTC? Even the popular ETH were having a hard time reaching the Bitcoin's price, what more with a centralized crypto right?

Yeah it is,In your Dream lol.

How can you expect a currency with a Billion supply will take over a currency with 21 million supply?and how can you expect the price and support will come to a currency in which titled as Centralized currency that supported with Banks?You are interpreting this market badly mate and better change course..

Not only the next Bitcoin but "Will Never Be " because This currency has no capacity in making such claim and have no enough support from the investors .

Sorry for XRP holders but we all know that this will never even reach a 20$ value not now and not in the near future.

I don't know where you find these talks but you are not looking at the whole picture on how you compare Ripple to Bitcoin the gap is very wide in fact if you are going to take a poll here 90% will vote for Bitcoin.

ripple is pretty much on the way out, that mean it is dying.

I admire ripple because they have good communities and many supporters as well. They also have one of the fastest blockchain network and they only requires small transfers fee and that's what really matters to me. Ripple  serves as  my alternative way of cashing out on exchanges because of less fees. Nonetheless, it will never be the next bitcoin and no one will be because it's the roots of all crypto and the king that most invested and most popular of all.

Why the difference in position of Ripple on coinmarket (3rd position) and Coingecko (4th position)? The difference in marketcap is significant ($2 billion) and I dont know how both platform came across the figures. 

Coinmarketcap does not verify data, do you still remember the p2pb2b exchange incident? They enter the exchange with the most volume according to coinmarketcap, but we all know that p2pb2b uses bots to get high daily exchange volume, coingecko is better than coinmarketcap.

I think this will happen because there are certain interests that can indeed occur, because it goes back to the principle of whether we can believe it or not and we need to also assess it properly because business competition can affect actual events. but fortunately there are two versions that we can use to cross the correction between cmc and coingecko.

the ripple issue seems still far from being discussed because it still takes time to get close, let alone replace it.

The discussion and the subject is a bit different .You were saying about few update by ripple but it still quite impossible to be the bitcoin .Its a centralized bank project as i know its totally controlled by them so i think there is no chance to be a huge one like bitcoin.

"So much talk about ripple taking over bitcoin and being 10$??" What the hell are you even talking about? So much talk by whom??? Show us these posts.

A few days ago, you wrote this, but I guess you're too busy copy-pasting your Twitter links to remember what you posted 10 days ago:


As you said so nicely: what is needed is the analysis. Then why don't you give us your analysis on Bitcoin and Ripple?

Bitcoin is a libertarian concept. Ripple is a centralized coin that users can't even mine themselves. They couldn't be more opposed to each other.

Instead of posting here, spend your time reading the Ripple Protocol and the Bitcoin Whitepaper. Will be a lot more useful to yourself and to this community.

Ripple has the potential but if we will be talking that it can follow the footsteps of bitcoin or it will replace bitcoin in the future. Then my opinion to it is, Ripple team need a lot of effort first
before they can actually do it.

Ripple was able to replace Eth last time, they should do it again first before they will start to compete the bitcoin who are in the first or the King of crypto currencies. Ripple didn't reach 1$ yet and it's ATH is only 3.84$ therefore 10$ is too much but everything is possible. I will be looking forward on how they can do it.

I don't really agree if Ripple can be called the next generation of Bitcoin. Because Ripple and Bitcoin are far different and cannot be compared. Ripple uses a banking system, while Bitcoin uses the Blockchain technology system. From there it's different, therefore RIpple won't be able to be like Bitcoin.

Am sure the OP have had his fill from the reaction of btc lovers in this great forum of ours  :D so no need to fuel it any further than already is, but am still curious how the hell the you come up with the idea or why would you believe in such lies! My advice, don't always believe all the crap you read online. ;)

You need to do your research Ripple and Bitcoin are world's apart Bitcoin is decentralized while Ripple that you really like is a centralized coin, it will never be better than Bitcoin although it's profitable to invest on Ripple there's no way it can surpass Bitcoin.

True ripple is doing better than the other coins these days but i wont go as far as saying that it would be the next bitcoin, its a bit too premature for now to make such assumption. The next coin that would say comparable to bitcoin should maintain a bullish run and so far, coins havent been able to do that recently.

I hold the converse opinion. I think there is no any of the crypto could overtake the place of BTC, even ETH cant, not to mention XRP. I even doubt whether XRP could stay in the third place in the future, because there are still a lot of promising tokens are active in the crypto market, like EOS, LINK, ADA, XTZ, etc.

Indeed true mate, One of the greatest difference between Bitcoin and Ripple is that the Bitcoin is decentralized and that means no one has control over it and on the other hand Ripple is completely centralized which means it has under authorities control. So why does OP thinks Ripple would be next Bitcoin.

The owner of this coin can generate ripples anytime. How will this kind of coin be trusted for investment like the trust bitcoin got? It's almost impossible for XRP to even get near to bitcoin's dominance.
XRP can never be considered as crypto next to bitcoin. And as of now, there's no existing crypto that can even tie up with bitcoin.

I am not sure what was conveyed, whether the information you got was valid or not. If Ripple takes over from Bitcoin, it means that Ripple will have to recruit investors with a value of $ 199,399,311,344. Yes, consider what I say is wrong. It's possible that Ripple should be worth $ 5.
And the question is, when Ripple's price reaches $ 5, will Bitcoin price not increase? or even decreased from the current price?
We're talking numbers here, not supposing. Because if we suppose, it will make our investment even worse.

Indeed the xrp, very popular having a large group of supporters, ripple investors, and holder, the company has become a coin suport, payment but to rival bitcoin may i think still needs a very long time

Different concept, centralized, and having unlimited coin supply I think, are enough to say it won't have a chance over Bitcoin. Well, indeed ripple has a large community but  Bitcoin for sure has a larger one. It is centralized, although it is not a negative thing but there is a chance for mafket manipulation which is a downside to some investors. Given that they can create their coin or to continuously supply the market, demand will not be high for sure and that would be a conflict to its price, ofcourse, for the investors. Investors would more likely engage to a more volatile investment because risk is equivalent with profit. Higher risk, higher profit. These, I think is what makes Bitcoin more popular and dominant to this industry.

Ripple is just another shitcoin backed by centralized firm to increase the supply whenever they want.
I don't find any potential reason to buy XRP and calling it the next bitcoin is just a thing to read and laugh.
Though XRP has a great support and big community, I think it will not make it a good investment in the long run.
And let's be real, a purely centralized cryptocurrency like XRP will never be able to attain a support like what a decentralized cryptocurrency like bitcoin can.

I would choose decentralized digital currency with a limited supply compared to a centralize with unlimited supply. I think you already know why? Maybe you just want people to buy more xrp so that its value will also increase but even if it will reach $10 in a short period of time still you cant compare it to bitcoins value, uses, demand and fame.

Ripple will never come close to the near of Bitcoin.Ripple can be one of the top 10 alter coins.However, it will not be able to occupy the position of Bitcoin in the market.The solid position that Bitcoin has created through block chain technology is never possible with other ordinary coins.

if ripple took over bitcoin it wasn't very difficult, and if it did happen it wouldn't take long despite the many new investments.

Wake up from slumber mate, XRP is 9ne of the coin with lowest performance compare to other top projects on market cap. I was hoping it could go for 5 cent when btc and ETH were making big moves recently but was always rejected at 3 cent. There is no fundamental ginger that is making buyers fomo into XRP yet you are comparing it to BTCtc, its not even feasible.

I don't think it will be such a strong event, but I hope it will help XRP to hold its current position, because many new projects are aiming for the top 10.

Huge supply, centralized and owner by bank with there has control by a company. so bitcoin is never compared and i think bitcoin will always be the king alone. If ripples can't walk the right roadmap then their market is likely to be a big dump though this idea is based on their supply. But they have a lot of investors and they have made quite a splash in the last few years with the right planning they will be able to get better prices in the future, but it will never rise above Bitcoin.

It's laughable to hear that Bitcoin is the next bitcoin when it's an obvious fact that the total supply of Ripple is in its trillions. The would take so much more effort to have the value of Ripple get to $10 unless they are willing to burn some tokens to reduce the supply. Ripples is also much more centralised and does not meet the conditions to be called a cryptocurrency because it wasn't formed with cryptography.

for now he thinks XRP is too fast to replace Bitcoin, with a gap that is too far now it will be difficult if that happens, not degrading but better XRP to compete with ETh for second place.

Might thought is Ripple will always be Ripple.. Dont bring up force up. If any coin is gonna try to meet up not overcome. Its gonna be Ethereum.. I even prefer Stella to Ripple according to the blockchain technology.

it would not happen , in which side xrp will replace bitcoin . these coins totally different both on supply side or price side. current price between bitcoin and xrp were too far and very hard to narrow the gap. we do agree didnt degrading xrp but we have more realistic with the fact in market.

It's not too fast but it will never happen and you must see the current chart on cmc right now and there was a dump that started to happen with XRP. ethereum is overvalued and it can't be reached by XRP. People realize if ethereum is much more superior compared with XRP in the tech innovation.

Depends on why you got into crypto to begin with. If your whole idea of crypto is just something that you can make more fiat from, that means you could actually like XRP, I am not sure how it is doing for traders but it has absolutely nothing against it neither, so maybe it could be something you could make a bit more fiat from and that is why you like it.

However if you got into crypto because you are sick of governments and banks getting into finance so hard that they are making rich people richer while keeping the poor people poorer and centralized regular fiat economy is built to make you and me not become like them, I would say that you should also not be interested in XRP because the whole idea of XRP is basically another centralized thing that resembles the fiat economy.

Despite all you said ripple can't be compared to bitcoin. There two cryptocurrency Bitcoin and altcoin. Ripple is an altcoin and so shall it remain no matter the news

XRP has been doing great in terms of developing cross border payments applications, but you know how these things work, it's not easy for a crypto/blockchain firm's product to be adopted mainstream. The Title of the topic here by OP got me laughing, "Ripple the next Bitcoin" as though comparing a highly centralized blockchain with BTC makes any sense.

I don't know why I can't seem to control my laughter at that hilarious question 🤓. Well, I believe the question is a mere rhetorics. If a coin like Cardano, EOS or Litecoin gets the kind of positive reviews Ripple gets, those coins will hit the roof in price value. XRP is just lame, honestly. It can barely walk. So, it's pointless comparing it with a progressive coin like Bitcoin.

Im afraid it won't happening. Do you know why bitcoin value is very high ?
As you can see, the value of bitcoin is very high as time goes, it is because there are only low amount of coin in circulation.
There are many lost coins in the past, and the available coin is very limited, unlike Ripple

I'm not sure with what you're saying because some time ago there is someone the create thread if Ethereum will to taking over Bitcoin and now Ripple. so far Bitcoin cannot be matched by any coin and thats it is imposibble if Ripple will be able to match Bitcoin even though XRP already is been increasingly to growing in recent this days. in terms of the price Bitcoin is far superior and Ripple is not able to reach the same price as Bitcoin. so, It's still too early to talk about this and you probably already know that Bitcoin is the irreplaceable king or cannot be matched.

There's no problem with our friend's idealism, because we need to expect great for every coin. Everything doesn't stop at once, as long as the potential increase will happen. Ripple has been so promising for such a long time so when people built a foundation with it, then let's just be fair on everybody's opinion.

Ripple is far from being even the next USDT, talk less of Bitcoin. The only time, I was eager to hold Ripple was when I newly entered the market and wanted to earn from the volatility, I got some Ripple to hold since the value is cheap as compared to other coins, but I noticed that one needs to hold a large quantity to really benefit from the volatility because it's volatility is not strong.

Very well said mate, XRP is just lame and One thing I really don't understand is why does OP have had chosen such lame coin to compare it with one of the most positive as well as promising coin. Even newbies would not agree with this topic.

Never it comes to my mind that Ripple will be the next Bitcoin nor it will take over Bitcoin in terms of "true market cap".  There is no denying it already taken over Bitcoin in the number of available coins by billions but the actual market capitalization does not lie on the equation of price multiply by the total number of coins.  Don't get me wrong, I kinda like XRP right now but still, I don't agree that it will take over BTC on being  top or being the King of Cryptocurrency.

Mate don't just jump into conclusion, from my end, I can't say ripple is going to be the next bitcoin, in terms of marketcap ripple is way behind, so ripple will continue to remain ripple, there's no way ripple can over take bitcoin.

I think its too soon to call ripple as the next bitcoin but its not too far off tho. Ripple is on the rise but the way bitcoin made its run before is way different than how ripple is doing now considering there are a ton of other coins out there.

Projects that use this phrase, the next Bitcoin, are good projects to be avoided. There will not be a next Bitcoin, Bitcoin will always be one and only. Projects that have nothing to offer except they are in crypto and they have high hopes, without the unique idea, or better development they will do nothing. Ripple will never come close to Bitcoin.

We can say that ripple is one of the best and most promising coin/token in the market for many years now. But if it would be compared with bitcoin, it is still has to have many obstacle to face and it should exceeds the achievement that bitcoin have if it want to surpass and become the next king of all coin which bitcoin is still holding.

Don't compare XRP with bitcoin. Bitcoin and XRP both are different. Bitcoin is decentralized and XRP is centralized. If XRP hit 10$ then bitcoin price will be more than 100k$ so bitcoin will be the winner and top. I don't think so that XRP will grow rapidly as bitcoin.

Without any doubts ripple is one of the most promising altcoins but if you come to think that it can surpass bitcoin, I think there is a very little possibility that it could happen knowing how dominant bitcoin is in the market.

Oh Yes the new btc-coin whose value is dumped by the owners themselves just pouring 1 billion coins into the market and then saying that they do not affect the coin!
It is not very clear how the new btc can be the coin that can be brought down/raised by the hands of the creators at any time. How is the bright decentralized future and the free market faring? It seems that ripple is not doing very well with this!

These are two completely different coins with different algorithms and different purposes. They will never replace each other

The current market situation is excellent If it continues like this, the price of BTC can go up a lot And it seems to be waving very well And BTC  is much stronger Anything can happen.

it is too early to equate Ripple with bitcoin because in terms of quality it is very different even though Ripple is an old coin But the development and enthusiasts in the market are said to be few, I am more sure if the one who can compete with Bitcoin in the future is Ethereum

Ripple cannot be compared to bitcoin and cant be the next bitcoin. When you check the performance of Xrp even before in the market there's so much gap to bitcoin. And this can't even reach $5 to $10 so I doubt this claim to be the next btc.

the next Bitcoin is not Ripple, The next Bitcoin is Bitcoin, nothing can replace Bitcoin's position in the world of cryptocurrencies,
Bitcoin will always be the king and benchmark for all of us

I think it's too early to say Ripple is the next bitcoin? In your opinion, on what basis are you so sure about Riplle? is it related to the financial system or for other reasons? If you look at the market cap chart, Bitcoin's tough competitor is Ethereum. and there are even some other cryptoqurrencies that have high selling prices above the Riplle coin price.

Not a single altcoins can become the next bitcoin, let alone just ripple where the difference is too big. The simplest example is the supply of ripple and bitcoin which is too far away. For the price they are also much different. I think no alts can match bitcoin forever.

Theres some coin that people say can be the next bitcoin and bitcoin crown will fall, let say ethereum, cardano, ripple and others bitcoin
But i believe bitcoin still strong and defend his throne
The price maybe can defeat now by some defi coin like Y family and some defi ecosystem but they just a fase and just a temporary hype in cryptocurrency and rule of the jungle will tell who was the king and we all knew who

Lol, xrp is the next bitcoin because it is going  to be over %10? No way a "centralized" coin is going to take over bitcoin. Majority of the nodes belong to ripple and there are people still there who believes XRP is completely decentralize and isn't controlled by anyone, whereas there is a central entity providing it a leadership. Why do you think banks are interested in ripple?

There are lots of good altcoins present in the market (e.g. ethereum, litecoin, etc.) but I do not see them beating the reigning cryptocurrency in the market anytime soon. The price of bitcoin is so substantially high that it may seem impossible for these altcoins to reach the price. Although newer and newer coins have been generating throughout the year with recent technological advancements and innovation, one of the most effective ways in order to beat bitcoin is if there are any external factors that may let bitcoin fall.

For example, government regulations prohibiting the utilization of bitcoin would force the people to probably switch to another altcoin. Maybe Ethereum is the next bitcoin but I do not see the latter going down anytime soon.

High price doesn't mean high value. YFI is priced higher than BTC but it has not replaced btc

is value and price the same  ? but the word value can have other meaning  . means its valueable  .  fyi was only high on price but we dont consider it as valueable as btc   and the reason why yfi is not on the top ranks is because its new and its marketcap is still small but i dont think it can climb the ranks because not all people are going to get attracted with its high price  . ripple on the other hand is not totally consider as a bad coin but its nature is different from btc and that makes it disqualified as a candidate for the next btc  

Are you sure that anything can replace bitcoin? Especially such a centralized coin as ripple

I won't agree with you because since 2018 until now they can't make their coin up to $1. I don't know where you got that idea but 1 thing I'm sure xrp is no much to btc. If you're active of their progress you should noticed all those problems they're facing, they got lot of troubles. lol

Yes, they got big partners but still no much and it will never be.

guessing and analyzing is clearly allowed and there is no problem if he believes it, but for those who don't believe his opinion must also be respected.
If the story is a possibility, everything is possible but realistic is also necessary.

How can one judge performance of one coin with past few days data against the coin who have been outperforming since last decade and year?

When something becomes brand you can not replace it very easily. It may or may not perform in the later stage but the name that it has earned will bring the capital investment into it. In our scenario BTC will always surpass the ripple in any case.

If you read the other posts then there is one more valid reason as to why ripple can't go ahead BTC and that is it's centralised nature. Believe me on this since people are loving the decentralised transactions and that is prime reason why they are here. So it's a no from my side.

Of course Yes!
As soon as the creators stop selling their tokens on the market and  when they really will make Ripple truly decentralized. In the meantime, it's more like a very subtle game of deceiving people to earn money on them.
Ripple is not much more trustworthy than other alts. Can slightly more of course same but not more moreover.

In terms of technology, ripple is way better compared to bitcoin. Ripple, even if it is accused of centralization, is actually decentralized. Ripple also has a fixed supply like Bitcoin, meaning it is not inflationary and is sustainable in the long run. Some banks are currently using ripple and other traditional payment methods are eying on integrating crypto payments using ripple. Ripple is much more scalable compared to most blockchains and provide one of the cheapest transactions making it a great candidate for future crypto integrations.

Ripple was strong because BTC was strong. Now BTC is down, Ripple is down too.  With such a dependency on the BTC how can you expect that Ripple will replace BTC.

No this is not going to happen even in very long run because XRP is good coin and project but still not able to came near this bitcoin may be few peoples feeling about this but surely its just a decentralized project which is controlled by a company.

There is a huge power gap between Ripple and other altcoins even though they also on top 10 altcoins on the CMC. Ripple total market cap is $10 billion while altcoin that runner-up behind Ripple only ranges around $3 billion to $4 billion each. Yeah, it might not stand toe to toe ETH or Bitcoin as you want it to become the 'next Bitcoin' but I think Ripple is fine at the #3 place behind those two. Tether doesn't count.

Ripple is a great coin and as you said centralized coin, but it is not enough to be the next BTC. l don't think that there can be any altcoins that can replace BTC. It is really impossible, it doesn't matter coin which is better among altcoins, we will not see that happens. BTC is first and alone which is the king in the crypto world. I strongly doubt the alternative cryptocurrencies will replace the BTC, maybe US-backed crypto can do this. Exceptions don't break the rule.

It will never gonna happen.
Even if how great xrp right now and even how it shows its improvement to all us, it is impossible for xrp to replace bitcoin. The only thing I know that is possible is its price to increase because  of its continuous growth that will definitely lead for its price to increase any time soon.

Ripple is a good cryptocurrency and they have made lots of achievement so far. I also like the fact that they are able to achieve their purpose of working with several banks around the world, but I don’t think that Bitcoin and ripple are heading to different direction, and I don’t see ripple replacing Bitcoin.

Ripple is good and it has also managed place itself on a high rank in the cryptocurrency market, and yes it deserves that position, and I also think that Bitcoin deserves the position it’s in now as the number one. Bitcoin won’t be replaced any time soon, if that’s even possible. Bitcoin came first and when people talk about cryptocurrency and decentralized payment, it’s always Bitcoin because it is the first to make that name for itself.

Ripple can't be next bitcoin in my opinion because of it use case, although the market of ripple has been growing sometimes now but can't be compare with bitcoin. Bitcoin is not negotiable as a supreme cryptocurrency, its not just an investment and payment methods but it will be use by petty payment like what ripple stood for. Ripple has it peculiarity compare to Bitcoin but can't see it as a next bitcoin as op assumed.

I don't think so. Bitcoin and ethereum is very different from each other l. Bitcoin is a digital coin which use is just payment and nowadays many people store it as an asset. In other hand ripple is a banking system based crypto. Bit in this community many people don't like crypto cause it's fully centralised cause ripple is backed by banks and investors. And in marketcap ripple has a good marketcap but it's far behind btc. Btc own the more than 50% of total marketcap of the whole market. So it's hard. But it's a good project maybe in future ripple give some good profit.

I myself could not believe my eyes when I saw this title of this thread. Only a person who does not understand and does not want to understand the causes and consequences of the emergence of these or other cryptocurrencies could have asked such a question in the head. But as usual, such a person believes that you can just write and that's it ... in short, this is a typical Dunning - Kruger effect

I see that as just suite saying. Ripple was once $3.84. Tobe precise at the time of 2017 BULL run. Ripple is actually a great project and a blockchain payment method which is currently among the cheapest. That doesn't mean it can meet or beat bitcoin in the next 2 decades.

What did they achieve? All I can see is them going down from their ATH of 3 USD to 0.3 USD on this day. And believers were thinking it could trade for 1 USD and sustain it. :)

Also they're changing CEOs and board members and promising big partnerships and that's it. They basically did nothing for the last 3 years and the price reflects that.

Nice! We're very disappointed with Ripple's performance in the 3 years. 1-2 years ago Ripple crossed the Ethereum marketcap that time new users were compared to Ethereum. The top altcoins position keeps changing day after day, ripple won't last long in 4th place.
Ripple can't be replaced by Bitcoin. Bitcoin is always the best for digital currency, privacy, transaction and mining. I won't compare Bitcoin with ripple in any use cases.

It is quite possible - but again, since we are already talking about Ripple, I do not understand where such questions can come from. Yes, and about any other token from where such questions can be.
In the ordinary world, under the "new gold" (analogous to "new btc"), only oil was pressed - but there were huge reasons for this. So what? Yes, oil is cool, but it never became" gold " (if you understand what I mean).
When will people realize that there will be no" new BTC " because everyone will always miss the BTC that is? That's the question.

First of all, I don't deny the possibility that ripple take over bitcoin, due to i believe nothing is impossible,but to be honestly,it is very very hard,just a teeny tiny possibility that ripple take over bitcoin.Base on ripple is centralization and infinite quantity,so my opinion is ripple can't take over bitcoin,other tokens are also can't take over bitcoin in crypto world too.

Ripple has nothing compared to bitcoin. Ripple is a centralized coin that own by a bank. the total amount of ripple is infinite. The price of ripple can drop by the bank if they wanted to so it was a very high risk to support ripple as it can be collapse any time by the owner.

Yesterday I watched an interesting presentation from Andreas on this topic. Here's the Youtube video (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p0ftZgCEZos).

Its been 2 years since xrp hit $0,5 last time and you're talking about it being bullish?
It is literally the same as it was back in the days before 2017 crypto boom and even then it didn't hit $5.
Why on earth it would hit $10 right now all of a sudden?
Bizarre.
If you're looking after big profits - go dig deep into uniswap or some alt market

Never be in the confusion that any other coin whether it be the Ripple or any other will surpass the Bitcoin in the future. If the supply of Bitcoin will reach the peak then also the price of the Bitcoin go higher and higher because of the heavy demand. If you are expecting that XRP will go numero one by surpassing the Bitcoin then it's market cap should be more than $250Bn which looks very unrealistic in the near stage.

Not only XRP, other coins and even BTC also have the potential for their price to fall deeper if investors or holders sell their coins on a large scale,
because crypto price depends on market demand,
I believe XRP has a possibility, it's just that XRP has to beat ETH market cap first, but if XRP can't beat ETH market cap, then it's very unlikely that XRP will beat BTC market cap.

it all depends on how the market demand will respond. when assets are in high demand of course it can pump up their prices even for assets we don't know about. not only ripple, but we can also see it for all altcoins. but bitcoin will still be the best in the market when bitcoin still holds market control.

Ripple is far away from the price or its adoption the way we have seen for ETH and Bitcoin. Current price is 0.23$ around and even if it reaches 1$ in coming year will be a big thing. So looking at it  does seems anywhere it can be near ETH as well.

Ripple taking over Bitcoin? I can't trust the fact that this will happen. BTC is the base of crypto, each time the altcoins grow that thing will be followed by an increase in Bitcoin price. I believe that it is impossible for any coin to surpass BTC because each altcoin is paired with Bitcoin in the exchangers and each increase in altcoin's marketcap will be the origin of an increase in BTC's marketcap too.

wow 10$ thats really unbelieveable price buddy
personally i can't believe ripple will touch 10$ in the future,
and for sure i believe ripple will never taking over bitcoin

It' s difficult that ripple could be the next bitcoin, bitcoin technology is old but efficient. But my question is, do we need something different from bitcoin? Is it enough for us? Ripple is also a good and stable project but not as strong as bitcoin!

I think it is not only in terms of technology that XRP has but from the influence of the very large supply it will not be possible for that purpose because some of the coins that have beaten bitcoin are coins that have a very limited supply even though many of the projects have not used them but the price can be expensive and can beat bitcoin as happened to YFI.

Ripple is a good satable coin but i think it's very far if we compare it to bitcoin. Also those coins that want to replace bitcoin should have more than what bitcoins quality and characteristics as digital currency and also with limited supply. Bitcoin is enough for us but we want also other coins to grow in crypto market of course like this xrp.

I hope so that XRP reach 10$, because I invested in it, right now I am still in red (minus) but for the long term if it climbs slowly some day might happen. But at XRP its a problem because ripple CEO has most of the shares. So people don't believe in it.

I think it's still a long way off when XRP is aligned with Bitcoin because the majority of traders still rely on the existence of bitcoin as a popular place to invest in the future and with an openness to profit from there it is still difficult for XRP to catch up with the price that bitcoin already has now.

True, it is very lacking in feasibility if XRP is aligned with BTC, there are many things that XRP must do so that it can be equal to BTC, not to mention basic matters such as the amount of daily trading volume, the amount of price per unit and the amount of trust that must be planted in every lover's heart current crypto.

 I can't believe all the Ripple shills in the crypto community. The next bitcoin? Are you kidding me? Ripple has been around for almost 8 years now and they have always been a suck awful coin, the only reason why they are so high is the fact that owners are manipulating it as much as they can as hard as they can and that is the only reason. Whenever they want to, they spend money to make it stay high, whenever they want to they print xrp and sell and make themselves money, they are literally using it to make themselves richer and all of you fall for it. If you want to keep believing that something that has been sucking for so long one day can beat something that everyone loves, you actually do deserve to be invested into XRP.

I just advise to be careful when having assets in the form of XRP, because currently there are no good developments that could trigger an increase in XRP prices, so it won't be able to give much profit anymore, XRP is different from previous years.

Why do people always equate every coin they own as the next bitcoin? Have they forgotten, didn't realize or didn't even see that bitcoin is the top coin that has always dominated the crypto market? I don't think XRP is the next bitcoin, to be honest I often hear of any coin that is considered the next bitcoin. but different from reality.

Ripple is one of my best coins and I will never stop trading them because with only $500 I can earn a lot of profit in ripple.
But I don't think if ripple will manage to be the next bitcoin or to overtake bitcoin! Just look at their price distance which they have.

Ripple will increase in profit in the future and will be more than $1 (I recommend many members to hold ripple) because many investors are now using it and even business owners.

The very fact that people keep comparing, be it eth or ripple or otherwise, to bitcoin, gives you the answer you seek. Believe in the coin, not the comparison.

They just create topic for no reason. I have no doubts that they even understand what Bitcoin is, its main purpose, what it was created for and etc. All the see are numbers. And most probably they dont look further than coinmarketcap. All the see are places in top and dream that some altcoin can replace bitcoin or another.

Overall, they dont understand that one is a blockchain, and a coin, while the other is just a smart contract on Ethereum (not speaking about Ripple now, but in general). It is funny to read topic names like "BNB will be next bitcoin". It sounds the same as "cheese will be next pencil".

TL; DR However just a couple of quick observations, how slowly is Ripple rising compared to Bitcoin's initial rise to fame?  Are it's crests and dips comparable?  Can you even compare them given Ripple can be shorted/longed in ways BTC was never at the same price point?

Also, ask yourself "What is Ripple used for?"  If you can't answer that, then why are you investing in it?

In my opinion none cryptocurrency can beat bitcoin nowadays many fake hoaxes are getting spread on the internet especially in cryptocurrency market where scammers are saying that this cryptocurrency is going to beat bitcoin in 6 months or 1 years i think all these hoaxes are absolutely fake

Ripple is always a ripple and can't be compared to Bitcoin.
The OP actually make me laugh, don't you know that ripple is a centralized? Can control and owned by company, so far there is no good development in ripple.

Ripple has good technology but won't help since its supply is so large and the distribution to the project participants isn't enough, Ripple recently didn't have any outstanding initiatives. It doesn't get the same massive support like Bitcoin.
There are a lot of people who have tried to claim that Ripple will overtake Bitcoin, but it really cannot surpass Ethereum and it is currently behind Tether.

I personally don't see Ripple having what it takes to be a worthy competitor of Bitcoin. Ripple is light years behind the popularity and relevance of Bitcoin in the cryptocurrency market. The total supply of Ripple makes it more like dogecoin anf that explains why the value has always been in penny's.

The value hasn't been in pennies always, it also had its fair share of popularity in its days back when bitcoin was hovering around its all time high and ripple did actually reached moon back then crossing $2 mark which was actually a lot considering its circulating supply. I also don't think that it will ever be able to moon now because back then altcoins were in the hype and now we are watching DeFi hype, if the ripple team announce the DeFi integration then we can see a price spike in that condition but other than that it is highly unlikely for ripple to moon.

Obviously, Bitcoin is more popular than Ripple if it come to the areas of exchange. many people are use to Bitcoin how to invest it easily and gain more coin in return.
I guess Ripple is just a new project that is just try to improve that there is massive benefit at the end of it.

If you look at some time ago, Ripple has experienced a price increase (bullish) but there is something fundamental because people still have the belief that in the future Ripple has the potential to get a decent price, especially to have support with fast price movements.

Short answer: no. lol

Ripple =/= XRP. Dont forget that, and the millions and millions the devs/founders/instertyourfavoritewordhere get and dump every month...

Ripple has a circulation of 45+ billion coins, why should you compare it with Bitcoin which is only 18+ million coins. Ripple is different from Bitcoin and one more thing, no coin will ever be able to match Bitcoin.

The OP doesn't seem to give a good reason why he thinks 'Ripple is the next Bitcoin'.

Yes. Ripple is really doing great in the crypto market but knowing it's centralized won't make people chose it over bitcoin. Bitcoin will always be bitcoin and no other crypto coin will definitely replace its position these days. Although Ripple has all its potentials to improve even more but it won't take the position of bitcoin, not even ethereum.

you are right, even before this time, i attend some seminars on investment, it was advised for everyone to invest in it because of his great tendency and potency in years to come, and with the look of things now  and the years to come, it might like gain ground beyond reasoning, so wont dispute the fact that it might be next bitcoin.  from my view.

A ripple is a centralized coin whose network decisions are made only by a single authority. If ripple developers want to block certain wallets, they will do so. And most importantly, half of the coins are still in storage with the developers of the coin.
I don't trust such coins.

But bitcoin is not worth 10 dollars)) I will tell you that the advertising and the PR that bitcoin currently has is 10 times more than ripple's PR. This is obvious at least from the citations in the press and on television. The media space is filled with bitcoin and only it. I would rather say that Ethereum will be the new bitcoin, zero and even it is very far away.

And please note that bitcoin is advertised by Itself, no one pays for advertising. Bitcoin has become so popular that everyone talks about it for free. This is a great indicator of what this coin is actually worth.

It will never be possible because Bitcoin is the best currency of all time and Bitcoin is spread all over the world. various organizations or businesses will now use Bitcoin, so the value of Bitcoin will increase and the number of users will increase. However ripple is a good token but will never come close to bitcoin Because there are many good currencies under bitcoin.

Bitcoin continue being recognized from the business sectors so the popularity and the usages are keep on adding up.

It still far from reality that any existing projects will replace bitcoin as number one, ripple can grow as it's been known being centralize and banking businesses can do manipulate the actual value of this coin.

ripple is in the top rank of cmc now, nothing can replace bitcoin, and i think xrp is not a good alt too, there are still many who will surpass it in the near future. there will never be an alt that can replace btc as the king of crypto.

I don't think so ripple can become the next bitcoin actually no coin can be the next bitcoin or replace it .As  Bitcoin is far more liquid, with much larger volumes than every other altcoins. Bitcoin has the largest developer ecosystem with more software and more implementations than any other altcoins. So Ripple the next bitcoin? My answer is no.

Ripple will never come close to bitcoin just because it is centralized. No one will trust their money to another person for safekeeping and at the same time have no guarantees against falling prices.

in which side ripple could be next bitcoin ? riple have strong community and supported by many company, but its centralized i  my opinion. there are alot new project that have better quality than ripple to be next bitcoin. bitcoin has special place in crypo market even new project occur in market.

Being centralized is one disadvantage of ripple. But we don't deny the fact that their tx fee is cheap and fast and they are very appropriate as payment method. However, being centralized, we don't know what will happen next if someone from their team sold their share or exited? So really far from being the next bitcoin.

limitations and the slow rate of increase in price seem to be running in place. Well, since I found out that XRP is a centralized coin, I think that the position of the coin will be very difficult to beat bitcoin, even ethereum. a few years ago, this coin was once the center of attention. however, I support the statement you said.

There are many coins that can be a good competitor of bitcoin, so why you chose ripple? Its a centralized coin while bitcoin is not.

I think its not going to happen. There might be other coins that can overtake bitcoin for having better functions but it doesnt mean bitcoin will become obsolete.

Ripple is a good coin in cryptocurrency and it is currently in a good position. Ripple's price has been rising very well in a few months. So everyone is now thinking of it as the next bitcoin. But Bitcoin has a very big position in the stingy market. I also hope Ripple reaches a better position in the crypto market But it is not possible to beat Bitcoin.

Im afraid it is not. Ripple is way more centralized than bitcoin, that's why i don't think Ripple can become the next bitcoin.
Anyone can mining bitcoin with their mining device, or mining farms but cannot mine Ripple coin.
Not to mention that many coin lost in Bitcoin circulation, causing Bitcoin become more valuable.

Ripple becoming the next bitcoin, Are you kidding? In my opinion it is impossible, because we can see a lot of differences between the two cryptocurrencies, so that for Ripple to be like bitcoin, it is impossible even though later the price of bitcoin drops to be very cheap, of course there will not be a single altcoin that will be able to replace bitcoin as one of the greatest cryptos ever.

I don't think that Ripple is the next bitcoin, as far as I know, Riplle focuses on financial systems like Paypal and is widely used by large companies for transactions or financial systems. bitcoin and Ripple are not the same, they are different from each other and certainly cannot be compared to each other.

I don't agree with you. Bitcoin is bitcoin. There have  no next bitcoin.  Ripple is the next ripple. Don't compare with bitcoin. That's not mean ripple is not good. Ripple is very strong project and increasing very high. But i can't say it's next bitcoin. Bitcoin is only one. It's have no next.

I really don't understand on what capacity does Ripple stand as a rival to Bitcoin. Its rather amusing to see the post. Ripple is still far behind the reach of Bitcoin and may never get their till the end of time. Bitcoin is the unrivaled king of cryptocurrency and that has been since the inception of the industry.

Ripple does not have the task of necessarily overtaking bitcoin or taking its place. Both currencies can exist together and create a competitive market for each other, and thus increase the interest and value of each other. There is no sense that one of them would replace each other-the more coins there are, the more stable the market.

No doubt ripple is Avery good coin. Many people like it. They have served many project update they promised m they have a good team and many investors and most of them are into banking sectors. And for many these is a problem. Cause ripple is not fully decentralised in this matter they are backed by many banks and money makings funds and and some how a part of it depends on them. This is why people in this community don't like ripple very much. But the idea of ripple and the future is very bright. So if you like it you can hold it.

I don't see how ripple can be next bitcoin. The basic motto behind creation of ripple and bitcoin are completely different. One is created for emphasis on decentralization and the other is a utility token for a company handling payments.

Sto drinking the Kool-aid. Ripple is the bastard child and the traitor of cryptocurrency. It was born out of opportunism of its founders to get rich. A centralized issuance, huge pre-mine in the name of Ripple foundation and its ridiculous wannabe tactics of cozying up to the banks are just some of the issues with it.
Ripple poses as a replacement to Swift by using its own token for transfers. This will never happen. The banks will come up with their own centralized coin than dole out their money to Ripple founders.

$10 sounds excessive. We did have $3 a few years back at the height of the 2017 / early 2018 frenzy... but the price fell back quickly. I do believe in the long-term potential of the coin, and they are one of the leaders in terms of integration with the real world. But I don't think this has anything to do with the launch of xRapid, which has been live for a couple of years now. I'm not sure about it being 'the next bitcoin' either, as the use case is entirely different. We do also (still) have the court cases with Ripple, which is probably depressing the price. Long term though, yes, if they can get through the legal stuff then the future looks promising. I just don't know about $10.

It's true that Ripple is great for investing, and it also has cheap and fast transaction fees. Ripple is also high volume and also popular.
But that doesn't mean Ripple can be the next Bitcoin, because Ripple is a centralized coin, it is very different from Bitcoin which is fully
decentralized. Actually there have been many coins that have tried to replace Bitcoin, but until now nothing has been successful.

If there is a new project present and can rival bitcoin then it is very difficult for us to accept because before bitcoin is also pricey and it takes time to rise to the current figure, but if ripple is a lot of interest and we can count on it will not be impossible to compete bitcoin and then we will just see the development of ripple and we hope it can be as we expect.

anything can happen, even if ripple can reach $ 10 it could also happen. but not for now and 5 years from now. I think etherum is still stronger as the next bitcoin with a higher price and market cap than Ripple. maybe because of the development and also the companies that support ripple, it could be a sign that ripple is likely to rise high. but I don't think so in the near future.

I don't like comparing Ripple to Bitcoin. Both cryptos have their own drawback. XRP was never meant to be another Bitcoin. Ripple’s big bet is that XRP will become a “bridge currency” that many financial institutions use to settle cross-border payments faster and more cheaply than they do now using global payment networks, which can be slow and involve multiple middlemen.

XRP is the centralized coin while bitcoin is decentralized. This is the biggest difference between the two. Ripple was introduced to be used in the banking sector but it has never been used widely in the finial institutions. Although banking sector still support XRP over bitcoin but i don't think it can surpass bitcoin.

Ripple  serves as  my alternative way of cashing out on exchanges because of less fees. Nonetheless, it will never be the next bitcoin and no one will be because it's the roots of all crypto and the king that most invested and most popular of all.

Ripple is a very strong coin and it has a great blockchain but we can't compare ripple with the monster, Bitcoin. Because Bitcoin is Bitcoin. No coin can hold the crypto market like bitcoin did. Hence, we can see a huge growth in ripple coin in future.

It is not that easy to take over the position of bitcoin, it is very difficult, bitcoin is very dominant in the market cap, although currently there is no effect of the ups and downs of bitcoin on ALTCOIN

yeah, personally i don't understand with the reason from the OP
i knew ripple is one from many great project in cryptocurrency world, but i never think if this project will be the next bitcoin

Hahaha Not Ripple next Bitcoin.Bitcoin great and number one coin. Ripple not bad coin but bitcoin is a bitcoin crypto king only Bitcoin.

ripple can never replace bitcoin because ripple has too much supply so that the price cannot exceed the price of bitcoin, still make ripple an altcoin which is used as a solution for banking, so it won't get out of line.

there is no reason for ripple to replace Bitcoin, Bitcoin will become the favorite cryptocurrency,
Ripple is not Bitcoin, Ripple is Ripple, if you want to replace Bitcoin with Ripple, I think it's absolutely impossible!

are you kidding? to compare XRP and BTC? hmm I don't think if Riplle is the next bitcoin. To my knowledge, Riplle has its own advantages mainly due to its focus on the financial system. many large companies use Riplle as a financial system. whereas BTC is the top crypto with real use cases, BTC is a real as well as profitable investment. XRP and BTC are very different.

Well said one.Bitcoin is a bitcoin.No other coin will replace bitcoin at the end.In a chess,their will be only one king and rest of pieces will be used to survive of King.All the altcoin are the rest of pieces of chess  board,Eth may be the queen off the crypto world. Ripple is potential coin and doesn't had a power to replace the king.

Let the person dream. Let him know what it would be like if ripple became the number one coin.
The only thing I like about Ripple is the speed of transactions. They pass really quickly. However, due to its centralized nature, ripple will never become the new bitcoin.

Ripple has no good feature as Bitcoin does, although transaction cost and speed fast in ripple. Maybe op wanted to invest in ripple and try to get some feedback. I can assure you that any old members won't think Bitcoin will be replaced by Ripple. But I think the ripple price could hit 10 USD because 2 years ago it was hit over 3 USD.

Ripple will never qualify to be the next Bitcoin when we have a lot of projects that are scalable and decentralized. Ripple is over-hyped from the beginning and that has shown in its price for over 2 years. Many projects are underway that will overtake Ripple in no time. Only time will tell

Ripple is one of the best and top ranked cryptos without any doubt and it is considered as one of the best crypto to invest with but if you will compare it with bitcoin, I can strongly say and in my own opinion ripple cannot be next bitcoin.

Not at all. Ripple is too far from Bitcoin. Bitcoin already made its investors rich while ripple is trading below 1$ until now. But if we look at ripple it's a good and long-term investment. Ripple also offers low transaction fees and fast transaction. Ripple investors still need to wait for quite sometime before it will be a huge success like Bitcoin but it will not be the next Bitcoin at all.

Yes, obviously this is not an easy matter in terms of taking over Bitcoin by Ripple, after all it would be very funny if an Altcoin could overtake Bitcoin in first place, if in terms of price it could be that other tokens could be more expensive than Bitcoin, but for the other side I don't think it will be easy for Altcoins to shift Bitcoin.

Nothing is the new Bitcoin.

If you look at the ripple price chart, you can see how the price was constantly decreasing. The price reduction is primarily due to the entry of an additional number of coins into the market. This is why I don't invest in ripple because of the constant issues.

maybe other altcoins could be the next bitcoin, but i'm sure the alt is not ripple my friend
because the fact ripple is a centralized crypto and of course the next bitcoin could be a decentralized crypto just like bitcoin
regards

the next bitcoin is not Ripple, I wonder, why can Ripple be the next Bitcoin?
There is nothing special about Ripple, I still love Bitcoin and of course Bitcoin will become one of the favorite cryptocurrencies for everyone,
not just the people, but companies are already using it, Bitcoin the next money in the world!

I don't think there is any altcoin that can replace bitcoin for now or in the near future. Predictions are only predictions, and have only a small chance of becoming true and even very unlikely for it. So, I don't think XRP is the next bitcooin.

I don't think so. Fundamentally bitcoin and ripple is very much different from each other. Bitcoin is loved by the community but some people in the community don't like ripple. Cause ripple is not fully decentralised. Ripple is backed by many banks and that's the problem. And if you want to compare ripple and bitcoin according to marketcap. Then it's unfair. Cause bitcoin own the 50-60% of whole markets marketcap. And it's almost impossible to cross or achieve that marketcao for ripple. That's it.

I think soon there will be new projects coming out and there will be a good future xrp project if they do more projects where it will help more and speed up the work of people with a chance to increase the price of xrp and more investors will buy xrp coin.

There are still many xrp holders because they believe that their team will do more projects so that they can better recognize the potential of their project and use it in the future.

There are numerous elements that would make individuals not to purchase. Since purchasing coins is one way that volume is made. The quantity of the gracefully is with the end goal that it will be a major undertaking of persuading financial specialists yet swell has been a solid power for long. Is that bode well in the event that we are discussing the opportunities for wave to outperform bitcoin while simultaneously swell can't outperform its old ATH? Fella, that is a major joke that originates from the wave network and I imagine that they should attempt to foresee dependent on the genuine information. There is no solid explanation that Ripple to be the following Bitcoin, even Ripple can't surpass Ethereum. For me, Ripple might be the following USDT as they are sponsored up by the banks.

Ripple is probably one of the most hated cryptocurrencies out there.
Main reason is that it is centralized and is meant to be used by banks.
So it's basically on completely contrary to anything that cryptocurrencies are supposed to stand for at the beginning.
Decentratlisation and to be used bye normal people.

Right brother.
The comparsion reflect  the foolness of people.
Where is BTC where is XRP.

Value of $10 per Ripple is possible but for the dreams of the next bitcoin is very less percent to happen or maybe never happen.
Ripple is good chap potential coin and I really like it this coin too but I don't see it coin to become a top 1 or the next bitcoin.
But maybe more improvements happen maybe that the bitcoin Ripple will be qualified for the next king of crypto but now ethereum is possible.

That's a huge money if we are talking about market cap and dethroning bitcoin. Way back, indeed Ripple replace ETH from the number 2 spot.

But that's already a history and now it's far from happening again, so before ripple take the step of becoming next to bitcoin it's needed to replace eth  with high edge.

We don't know how future will proceed we are inside crypto and possibilities always
open, but the chance is really slim to happened.

It drives me nut when people compares Bitcoin with other altcoins, I don't just understand what they want to achieve, it is good or fair to compare one altcoin and the other but such should not happen between bitcoin. I remember 2018 or even till date most altcoins were challenging Bitcoin and when I checked closer their only point of challenge is in terms of speed and nothing more, the question now is, till today what have they achieved? Have they succeeded in beating Ethereum (let's leave out Bitcoin)?
I won't fail to acknowledge the fact that XRP team are doing their best o achieve more partnerships and collaborations but I can't use that as a yardstick to compare it to Bitcoin. The faster people understand that no coin can challenge Bitcoin, the faster they start making good decisions like holding Bitcoin because the future is bright.

Bitcoin is one of best currency with trustful profitable, show here this is my first currency when i come in crypto market. Basically i never believe any currency can cross bitcoin road so cool and keep believe your mind.

It’s impossible that Ripple can replace Bitcoin.  The number one crypto asset is Bitcoin, which is a digital currency that is more decentralized than XRP in terms of ownership.
While they do not design XRP as a currency, they design XRP as a payment settlement for banks by Ripple Labs.

Ripple's market cap is not calculated in an accurate manner, and that is how it managed to dethrone Ethereum (although for a short while). If properly calculated, the XRP market cap would be a small fraction of what is given in the Coinmarketcap table. Anyway.. now XRP is not even at the 3rd spot. Tether (USDT) has managed to push XRP further down, and now Ripple is at no.4 position as far as market cap is concerned.

Possible but it's hard to be the next bitcoin now with it's current price and volume. Maybe in the future it could be next to bitcoin hut now its ethereum coin the next crypto to bitcoin in terms of potential, price and volume trading in the market. Even if it will replace ethereum in termsof volume, it should also overpass ethereum in terms of price value in the cryoto market.

I haven't seen any good move since Ripple 2018. news comes but XRP is not a movement. I hold XRP. my bad luck.

XRP is centralized, so if it will replace bitcoin, this entire crypto space will follow the centralized system which destroys the main purpose why crypto was created. XRP had some good run, it was ranked 2nd last 2018 if my memory still serves me right but ETH did overtake in 2019, so if there is a competition, probably among ETH and XRP only, let's leave bitcoin behind.

true, until whenever bitcoin will still be an idol for crypto and I also question what is the opinion that Ripple will be the best coin and can replace bitcoin.
when Ripple has passed and the possibility to revive it will be difficult even if it's just to replace ethereum, so don't get your hopes up with Ripple. But for investment Ripple is still a good one.

I don't think it's possible, Ripple will not take over ethereum's position or price itself. . yes, if I'm not mistaken in 2019 Ripple seems to be doing well because it can replace ETH's position in the market, but it also doesn't last long. ETH has a strong community, a great team, and market demand is increasing every day. So, I don't think Riplle is the next Bitcoin.

In general, Ripple is a good and good token, but in particular Ripple is no match for Bitcoin because so far no token has been able to move Bitcoin to the bottom of the rankings, so even though Ripple doesn't have a good move like other tokens on the market, it does not. still in a good category as a token.

Incorrect, Take a look at fiscus.fyi !! Building a uniswap like platform for decentralized gambling dapps!!

Ripple is strongly criticized for being centralized. With the concept of blockchain, there are two types of ecosystem 1/ Centralised and decentralized. The xrp is the later one and no doubt it is doing well.  I hardly doubt if it is close to even bitcoin in nature. ;D

of course Ripple will never beat bitcoin because both of them have very different platforms and in addition, the supply that these two platforms have is very different, ripple is more suitable if it is used as an alternative payment that might be used for interbank transfer transactions.

Ripple is a good blockchain but it will never be the next Bitcoin. Lots of Bitcoin investors became rich already while Ripple still below 1$. Investors of Ripple need to wait for a little bit longer before it will be like the success of Bitcoin investors, but still, Ripple will never be the next Bitcoin.

I think there is no any of the crypto could overwhelm the spot of BTC, even ETH cant, also XRP. Bitcoin and Ripple is that the Bitcoin is decentralized and that implies nobody has power over it and then again Ripple is totally brought together which implies it has under specialists control.

Actually the comparison is wrong one.Ripple is good team and good project.But it's not that much worth to compare with bitcoin.If you had mentioned ethereum as a next bitcoin,I may accept it.But Ripple totally making the people mad.Many people losing their hope on Ripple.Only way for the marketing team is,increase the price of Ripple to increase the investors.

Ripple promoters are multi-billionaires, so your statement is not entirely true. Unlike the case with Bitcoin, almost all of the Ripple circulating supply was pre-mined. The promoters profited out from this, when they sold their coins. And despite selling a lot of their holdings, a handful of promoters still hold almost 80% of all the XRP (either directly, or indirectly).

Ripple is centralized platform, it should unfair to saying like this. If we make a Comparison between them, then Ripple did worse. its price has been failed continue raising since years ago. the advance currency Ripple has been on a downward trend all year, already losing around half its value till now from at the beginning of this year

One thing i can tell is that Ripple will not be the most used coin if you are here because of the decentralized market. Do you really think that people will be having a huge interest on a centralized coin which is highly unlikely. At the end of the day if there is any coin to replace bitcoin it will be a fork with a much better scaling solution and that is the only hypothetical theory i that regard.

well, therefore, Ripple will not be able to beat the price of bitcoin and the circulation of bitcoin because in my opinion more people are interested in bitcoin and the supply of bitcoin must also be considered because ripple has more supply than bitcoin.

No one predicts the future and no one knows what altcoin is the next bitcoin, we didnt say ripple, ethereum and the like. Even the last altcoin or shitcoin on coinmarketcap have the possibility  to surpass bitcoin. It depends on crypto people of this world on what they choose or pick for hold. I think its all about adaptation. But for now, no one can deny the fact that bitcoin is still the king.

I also didn't find anything that gave Ripple the potential to take over Bitcoin. I think it's just a way to raise prices and only spread the good news from ripple.

Ripple might be doing well , but i hve my doubts of it becoming the next bitcoin. To me this re just hype and nothing really serious.

I don't think so. Fundamentally they are very different from each other. Bitcoin is fully decentralised and its run by all the people over the globe. and in the market bitcoin is the biggest coin available it had a huge market cap which is almost 59-60% of the whole market. In other hand ripple is also a good coin. But in the community many people don't like it because it's a centralised token backed by banks and and many institutional investors. But still it's a big coin but not as big as bitcoin. That's it .

As I would see it none cryptocurrency can beat bitcoin these days many fake fabrications are getting spread on the web particularly in cryptocurrency market where scammers are stating that this cryptocurrency will beat bitcoin in a half year or 1 years I think all these deceptions are totally fake. don't you realize that wave is a centralized? Can control and possessed by organization, so far there is nothing but bad improvement in swell

It's strange to me that so little attention is paid to Ripple on this forum. This coin has truly one of the best scalability and transaction speed. I really like to send money between exchanges in this particular currency. The money is received very quickly, and the exchange commissions for the withdrawal of this coin are minimal. It is for the purposes of transactions that this coin is best suited.

This was a ridiculous question. Bitcoin is a completely decentralized coin. Its developer is unknown, which reduces speculation on it. Ripple, on the other hand, is a completely centralized coin. There are coins owned by the company that have not yet been released. They can introduce free coins to the market. Do you think such a coin can replace bitcoin?

Ripple is so far away from bitcoin. But the own blockchain system is also good for ripple. Bitcoin is the king and it will take its place all the time, hopefully. Ripple needs more effort to grow from current situation.

If Ripple hits a price of $ 10. The question is, how much will Bitcoin cost? Of course the Bitcoin price will be higher than the current price. So it doesn't make sense to say that Ripple is the next generation of Bitcoin.

Bitcoin is an advanced money planned as a methods for installment for merchandise and ventures, Ripple is an installment settling, cash trade and settlement framework expected for banks and installment organizations. The thought is to give a framework to coordinate exchange of benefits (for example cash, gold, and so forth)

ripple company continuesly dump their token each month, to much selling pressure and unclear regulation from u.s make ripple loss their steam

ripple going to move other country with more friendly regulation, but do you think will attract more adopter/buyer?

total market diluted ripple is to much, their printing coin every day and dump on market.

eth only leader alt whom can side by side with bitcoin  ;D

Can't imagine how many of you there are on this forum - the xrp believers.
Ripple as company do a lot of good and quite profitable projects, collaborations here and there.
However, XRP still remains as dead coin - if you dont' believe me just zoom out chart to last 3 years.
Every crypto hype there was during past 2 years didn't give XRP second live, what could revive it now?

XRP Price should be at least 3$ in 2020

Both of two, is good coin by their position. But comparing them with each others specially with btc, isn't good. ripple is centralized coin, with large supply. So ripple will never reach the price & dominance that bitcoin already have in market.no doubt, ripple has better ideas, has investors for its support, that  will take it to better position but it couldn't win if fight with bitcoin

Ripple can't overtake bitcoin in the marketcap. Though xrp staying at good position in crypto market but compared to other crypto it hasn't done really well after dropping from it's ATH price. So base on this stats, I think ripple won't be worth 10 usd price soon. Even if it reach there in future, bitcoin will increase up more within that time.

I don't think so. Bitcoin and ripple aare very much different from each other fundamentally. Bitcoin is a fully decentralised crypto. And it's the first crypto to this space. It has the biggest marketcap. Almost 50-60% of whole markets marketcap. In other hand ripple is banking based token. And it's not fully decentralised. Cause it's backed by many banks and institutions. And it's marketcap is eventually small than bitcoin. It ranks 3rd 4th in the whole market. So it's very hard for ripple to compite with bitcoin. That's it

Ripple is a good centralized coins without much volatility and there will be investors who might like those and we might see more centralized cryptocurrencies in the coming years as more companies are planning to come up with their cryptocurreny including Facebook and PayPal.
No coin can replace the reputation of bitcoin but since the core is struggling with scaling and if any of the fork coins comes up with a good solution then i wont be surprised if people starts using them.

XRP is popular with banks and institutions after BTC I trusted ripple as the top rated alt unfortunately it's not upto the mark from the past two years.

Despite being the best centralised coin it is struggling to prove its capability, after analysing few research I believe It could reach $0.50 by the end of the year a short time profit is possible, let's wait and see.

I'm glad you are asking because you are not sure, and your hunch is correct it will never beat Bitcoin and whoever talk about that Ripple will beat Bitcoin are either working on Ripple or partners or bag holders of Ripple, that are very eager to get rich quick.
They have to get past Ethereum which is leaving Ripple by miles, but you can still dream, it's free to dream you know.

I give zero chance for Ripple to be "next Bitcoin". In my opinion, Ripple has no bright future. It gives no sign of a real increase. It doesn't even get close to Ethereum in terms of market cap. 

i agree with you if ripple is not the next bitcoin,
but the fact ripple become the TOP cryptocurrency in coinmarketcap list, its number 4 in coinmarketcap mate
check this https://coinmarketcap.com/currencies/xrp
about the future of ripple, no body knows, but i believe this alt will always be in the list of TOP crypto in coinmarketcap

Ripple is o good platform for me, they are connected to bank & peoples are supported it too.I think eth is a good competitor for xrp but not bitcoin. till now bitcoin is the kind of crypto, so i dont think that ripple is the next bitcoin.

Ripple to be the next bitcoin isn't gonna happen. Ripple once took the second position of ethereum. It was mentioned to be a manipulation to reach the top position, but the growth was quite a phenomenal one. As it partners with more and more number of private banks and financial service renders it is given an outlook of completely centralized one.

According to me, it have been partnering and getting into real-time usage which is must for growth. So with trust one can invest on ripple and it isn't the next bitcoin. Ripple will be always ripple.

I like your opinion on Ripple, what this coin has achieved so far is remarkable. Despite all the negative news about Ripple, what you mentioned is ripple's partnership with many banks around the globe. I think this will be a good point for ripple to enter into a new position in this market. But it won't be able to pass BTC in the future.

Ripple is a very good coin,
 Many people may think of Ripple as the next bitcoin but in my personal experience I don't think Ripple can ever be the equivalent of bitcoin.
 Because if you look at the total supply of two coins, you can get a lot of ideas.
 Ripple's total supply is 100 Billion and bitcoin's total supply is 21 Million,
 Also every year Ripple sells their reserved Ripple tokens to cover the costs of themselves and the team management.
 So I don't think Ripple will ever be the equivalent of bitcoin.
 Thanks.

What does it take to replace BTC?
Maybe I'm not very smart but I really don't understand the meaning of all these "who will replace BTC???" / " [N] is this the new BTC???"/"The BTC KILLER has appeared on the market!!!" and other strange and funny posts on this subject.

And it is not clear what exactly all these people want to see/get in order to finally replace the BTC that they have been trying to displace for so many years still without results

There are many issues that ripple is battling at the moment, to say that ripple is the next bitcoin is a bit absurd, I mean ethereum is way better than the ripple, when it comes to usage ripple is at second place, but nowhere near bitcoin, so I think ripple should overtake ethereum before that conclusion and make a big move in the market, and clear all the cases being thrown to them.

Indeed, ripple were so far different to bitcoin. Ripple is an altcoin that once become a dead coin. Ripple will only have a title as a good coin but cannot compared as bitcoin. We can actual see what were looking for by just comparing its value. We all know that the second in line to bitcoin were ethereum, and from this case Ripple should defeat first Ethereum. And as far as i know bitcoin price were more than 10x higher than ethereum, so how much more with ripple.

Yeah right, I'm really not sure the XRP price can go up to $10, that's a huge price for Ripple which has a lot of supply. Even though their current development is very good but if a coin which has a lot of supply like XRP it will be very difficult to reach $10. In my opinion, reaching ATH ($3) is logical compared to $10.

strong enough in the last few days it doesn't mean it will change bitcoin or will be the next bitcoin. not even for ETH. your prediction is a little over the top.

Everything can happen on the crypto market. However, Ripple is not a cryptocurrency as we understand it. Therefore, it will never replace Bitcoin or Ethereum. Ripple, however, might be used in the future by all banks. It is very fast and convenient in transactions.

I don't think so. In my opinion it's kind of not possible. Bitcoin and ripple fundamentally very much diffrent from each other. Bitcoin the first crypto of these all crypto market. It Is decentralised. It loved by people and all the support come from community or people. It has a huge market cap like it has a market cap 50-60% of whole market. In other hand ripple is a crypto which works for banking system. And it's kind of not decentralised. Cause it backed my many banks and big institutional investors. And the market cap is big but not like bitcoin. So it's relly hard for ripple to cross bitcoin.

If XRP does not have acceptance then it will not have that dream price!

It is also a crypto that has a very high money supply, and the foundation has a large amount of XRP.

This is a fear for investors.

If this is not changed, the new prices will not arrive ...

I really wonder why someone will want to compare Bitcoin and Ripple side by side, the comparison is awkward. How can one compare a centralized project aiming to curb cross-border payment issues with the pacesetter of crypto (Bitcoin) which is decentralized and fits into all sectors with regards to acceptability. We should never compare any altcoin to the king,, BTC, it doesn't really make any sense at all. I saw a couple of threads about "the next bitcoin or Bitcoin killer" lol, makes me laugh so hard since it looks more like baseless illusions.

The thing with ripple is the total supply that's just so high it's unreal tbh. it just doesn't make sense for ripple price to go up otherwise it will eat up large number of crypto market share. Ripple price as of now is already the best price point. Not too much not too low. idk why people keep asking who's the next bitcoin while bitcoin is not gonna go anywhere anytime soon and you can't ignore the fact that everytime ordinary people mention crypto it's bitcoin that what they meant.

Ripple will only have a title as a good coin but cannot compared as bitcoin. Bitcoin has a huge market  cap 50-60% of whole market. In other hand ripple is a crypto which works for banking system.

Ripple might be the following USDT as they are supported up by the banks. It is concentrated, in spite of the fact that it's anything but a negative thing yet there is an opportunity for market control which is a disadvantage to certain financial specialists. Given that they can make their coin or to constantly gracefully the market, request won't be high without a doubt and that would be a contention to its cost, obviously for the financial specialists.

Ripple is not decentralized. Plain and simple. We should not be comparing Ripple with Bitcoin because for me, Bitcoin is king. No coin can overtake Bitcoin that is why this is the only coin that I invest in. Next would be Ethereum, which for me is the only contender for the title King of cryptocurrencies.

Yes, both of them do not have the same power and in this case it is clear that Bitcoin is a very strong coin and it would be very strange if someone made a comparison between Bitcoin and Ripple, because Ripple is currently very difficult to increase in price, while Bitcoin is very easy to the price goes up, although the decline is also very easy, so Ripple is not on the same level as Bitcoin.

Agree, i also not really like rippe because it's centralized coins. no one ever can beat bitcoin. bitcoin is a coin that makes the crypto and blockchain space known more than ever. And not only that, because almost all altcoins even follow the movement of bitcoin in terms of price

Bitcoin is a decentralized currency, while Ripple is a decentralized transaction network and also has a digital currency called XRP so, it is very difficult for XRP to match Bitcoin let alone beat bitcoin as one of the largest digital currencies in the world today, in Regarding price, XRP is very far from the price of Bitcoin, so, it is impossible if this could happen now or in the future because I think Bitcoin will never be defeated by any alt coin.

True, and this should also be known by newbies who often speculate with a joke comparison between Bitcoin and Ripple, even though it is very clear that the two are very different, both in terms of level, price, supply and system as well.

Ripple has nothing similar to bitcoin and it won't be the next bitcoin. There are many tokens that are competing with Ripple to establish a global payment system. It's hard to replicate bitcoin as it's prime advantage is trust and decentralization while Ripple is a simple token that is years old but yet to take any ground. While newer tokens with more advanced technology are going to challenge it.

No, XRP is far from bitcoin and it is impossible for this digital currency to become next bitcoin. All I like in XRP is the fast and very small transaction fee than in bitcoin but in value, XRP is too far to bitcoin. Also bitcoin has a limited supply with higher demand. XRP even with higher demand , the total supply is also higher compared to bitcoin.

Time will let you how much popular is ripple unlike other crypto currencies it does not use block chain, XRP is official firm that has earned the trust of numerous banks and banks are increasing their investment in XRP.

The key differences between XRP and other coins is XRP is a centralised version of decentralised technology this will definitely make people to invest for long-term and it has a bright future as well.

I can't find any reason to consider Ripple as the next bitcoin. I also don't understand why some people sometimes consider other cryptocurrencies as the next bitcoin. Bitcoin has become one of the most popular and accepted cryptocurrencies to date. The volatility of the Bitcoin price and the way in which its price has risen has more potential than any other cryptocurrency. Observing the price stability of Ripple and its past value, it is easy to understand that Ripple will not emerge as the next Bitcoin. So Ripple should be compared to any other cryptocurrency but it is not compatible with Bitcoin.

It is impossible for Ripple to be the next bitcoin base on demand, supply, value and uses they are different and Ripple is very far in bitcoin. XRP is just good for sending transaction very fast and the fees is too low compared to bitcoin but it doesn't mean that it will like bitcoin or be the next bitcoin, I doubt it.

I'm not sure about that man, there's no next bitcoin, riple is a riple and bitcoin is still bitcoin. what will distinguish it is the selling value of the coin itself. I'm not sure there will be any coins that will replace bitcoin itself. in my opinion Bitcoin cannot be replaced by any coin.

I have seen similar statements many times, but I believe that Bitcoin will be alone and no cryptocurrency can become the second Bitcoin. The fact is that Bitcoin is the progenitor of cryptocurrencies and for a new Bitcoin to appear, it should only be a new direction. And so in the field of cryptocurrencies, Bitcoin is one and will be it until the end of its days. As for Ripple, I believe that each cryptocurrency has its own place and it was created for specific purposes. And therefore, Ripple or other cryptocurrencies cannot become the second BTC.

I don't think it is possible that Ripple can be the next bitcoin, bitcoin technology is old but until now it's still efficient. if you want to compare it might be like ETH / BNB. but whatever this is I don't think about the next bitcoin. I am confident that Bitcoin will always dominate this cryptoqurrency market.

Bitcoin is different platform from the centralize coin ripple set goal for itself for future. moreover, people might be agree that there are no altcoin that could suitable to compare with bitcoin. If you are trying to find out virtual currencies for an investment with good return, then ripple coin might be a bad choice and risky. Because it consistently falling down even its supply and unfair activities indicate & reveal the decreasing demand for it

No one is going to be next bitcoin because its father and founder of this all community and specially in case of Ripple is really not true because there are many things which are not near close to compare these two first of all Bitcoin is completely decetralized and XRP is Centralized and second Ripple is working only for Banking sector and bitcoin is compeletly different things and right now Bitcoin's share in crypto market is more then 60% and its very difficult to reach on this peack for any other coin so its never been good to compare these two for any competition this is not true and never going to happen.

yes i think so because Ripple will only have a title as a good coin but cannot compared as bitcoin. Bitcoin has a huge market  cap 50-60% of whole market. In other hand ripple is a crypto which works for banking system.

I dont think so that xrp is next bitcoin. We all know that ripple is strong project and team behind this is very hard working but it cant be like bitcoin.

No that's not going to happen in fact they should be worry because they are losing their position and they are sliding, there are new coins coming up with better concept and features, I will not be surprised if they are overtaken by UNI and Binance, and about your $10 dream, I don't think it will be in your lifetime.

you say Ripple is the next Bitcoin? really very funny, Bitcoin is Bitcoin,
Bitcoin has become the king of crypto currencies, nothing will be able to change that,
if you know the fundamentals of Bitcoin then you will understand how Bitcoin will change the world.
Ripple is not a decentralized project, and it is very risky if their CEO has no more ideas,
when compared to Ethereum, of course Ethereum is the best.

I don’t think that Ripple is able to do that.
Ripple is just another altcoin, even many people consider ripple is not as a cryptocurrency because Ripple is completely centralized
If you expect that Ripple will take over bitcoin or become more valuable than Bitcoin, then you will be disappointed.
Even Ethereum is better than Ripple....

No doubt ETH is better than Ripple, you can already see the standing now and their disparity, even the times when Ripple was at the top over ETH, people still does not loss their faith of ETH and it has paid off as ETH were able to get back its position which is next to bitcoin.

I have always opposed this shitcoin called Ripple. If you check my previous posts, you can see why I have opposed XRP. And you can check the performance of XRP so far this year. It's exchange rate has plummeted from 3300 Satoshi to around 1600 Satoshi. That means that those who invested in this shitcoin is now sitting on top of more than 50% loss.

only true adepts of XRP can believe that Ripple is the next Bitcoin. one may look at the performance of XRP this year and compare it with Bitcoin. and another fact: big companies buy Bitcoin as a store of value but not XRP.

I am very surprised by people who often claim that XRP will be able to replace or become the next bitcoin without any logical reason and corroborating facts, we can see how much now the price of XRP is compared to Bitcoin and public trust in XRP is even further away. not as big as people trust bitcoin as their investment asset, and we also often see if there is even the slightest negative trend, of course it will make the price of xrp go down, and it is difficult to experience price increases again, unlike bitcoin. Is it worth saying that XRP is the next bitcoin?

Of course not, due to several reasons. Mainly because Ripple was essentially built by a group of banks to facilitate internal transactions betwen them. This litterally means that Ripple xrp is a centralised cryptocurrency especially when to know that nodes running the xrp network are just few nodes controlled by those banks.

In my local board there is a hot discussion about it Ripple. Does there any upcoming event with xrp?

Who's talking? the bag holders the Ripple whales, or the development team, trying to hype their coin which is sliding in it's position, I will not be surprised if Ripple is nowhere to be found in the top 5, they are on the number 4 spot and will soon be overtaken by new coin Polkadot or Binance coin, that will end your dream of Ripple becoming the next Bitcoin in the market.

Do check Bitcoin dominance BTC 64.0% how will Ripple going to surpass Bitcoin with that stat.

XRP never next Bitcoin. But XRP is one of the best coins. Something good can be expected with XRP. Almost all the coins have gone well with investors but XRP has not pumped much. I think dec 2020 can do a good pump.

Yes, it is clear that Ripple will not be like Bitcoin because basically they have a different team in this matter and any Altcoin will not be easy to compete with Bitcoin which has already become king in cryptocurrency.

Nothing can replace bitcoin really, but we can say that ripple can replace ethereum if the XRP performances maintain better than ethereum. We can see significant growth  of ripple this days and maybe we can see more in few more weeks or months. I myself support XRP so it would be good if ripple goes to moon.

I doubt Ripple will take BTC role. But I have to admit that there seems to be a lot happening with Ripple and payments rumors.
Remains to see where that takes it, I have a stake in it and are hoping for the glory days of ripple to return.

BTC and ETH remains my biggest positions.
Here's my portfolio
https://altpocket.io/profile/Octular (https://altpocket.io/profile/Haze)

Many people think that XRP is the next competitor of BTC but I personally never think of it.  If you look at the total supply of two coins, you will get the idea.

am I the only one who has never read people saying Ripple is 'the next Bitcoin'...
Ripple does not use Blockchain technology nor is it developed by Banks, so what's so special about Ripple? Bitcoin will never be shifted by any cryptocurrency.

Don't expect Ripple to be the next Bitcoin, Ripple is a very risky project,
there is a lot of controversy there, about the supply they control, etc., so it's better to think for the medium term,
don't think about being the next bitcoin, XRP doesn't deserve that yet.

Of course, that's overwhelming thought. I've never seen a project that can compete with bitcoin. But, XRP is a good investment because despite people’s hate for it, as it's called bankers coin, it's the quickest coin I've ever utilized and genuinely simple to trade, since it doesn't move a ton however it's predictable.

It's true that controversies surround Ripple, Anyone who even compares XRP and BTC side by side is getting it wrong, BTC is king. XRP which is highly centralized can't be the next Bitcoin which showcases a true decentralized system. I understand Ripple has many achieved milestones over time, including their awesome products for cross-border payment enhancement, however it's still no match for BTC. There is nothing like the next bitcoin, anyone using that phrase need a rethink.

I can’t even understand how ripple can bypass bitcoin, by what signs.  To the level of price or capitalization, ripple can never be compared to Bitcoin.  Ripple compares favorably with the speed and low cost of transactions.  However, a centralized cryptocurrency cannot be the leader of a decentralized cryptocurrency.  This is completely absurd.

i think thats will never happen in short or long time too. ripple use bank system. but ripple still have chances ,Chances are less then 1 % , as volume of Ripple is to high as compared to Bitcoin. there is always a topic like this, i dont know what they think, or just want to make some news about ripple and make the price high ?

Ethereum on the 2nd rank and Ripple 4nd rank, the distance the two coins capitalization are more than $39 Billions.
Once the Ethereum 2.0 improvement is successfully launched and its main scalability issue is resolved, ripple will have no chance of surpassing ethereum.
Eth will remain in its position which is next to bitcoin.

Quite right. I believe that soon it will be necessary to discuss the issue of a possible competition between ethereum and bitcoin for 1st place, and in this struggle, the appearance of Ripple is not expected at all. Although I understand that Bitcoin and Ethereum have completely different functionality, I should admit that there are many advantages of Ethereum over Bitcoin.

Ripple has a pretty good investment track record, but I have never seen it even close to the bitcoin level, besides that it is also centralized which makes people including me not really like it.

Yes, ripple and bitcoin have their own advantages and disadvantages, so I don't think we need to compare these two coins.
One of the reasons why these two coins don't need to be compared is because bitcoin is more suitable for storing asset value, while ripple is more suitable as an alternative to payment.

Agree, it is too far to imagine Ripple next Bitcoin. From the total supply and investor confidence, I think there is a difference. Investors will certainly choose Bitcoin because institutional investors have started investing while this has not happened in Ripple

Maybe everyone here already knows that Ripple and Bitcoin are very far from their position, because Bitcoin existed before all Altcoins were created, so there is no way Ripple can replace Bitcoin, maybe it's just that Ripple's transaction fees are very cheap and very fast to process Compared to transacting in Bitcoin, so it is a very good choice if you do frequent transactions and transfer very well using Ripple.

Ripple is a great cryptocurrency and they have made a lot of achievements so far. I also like the fact that they can achieve their goal of working with several banks around the world, but I don't think that ripple is the next bitcoin. Bitcoin deserves its current position as number one. Bitcoin came first and when people talk about cryptocurrencies and decentralized payments, it's always Bitcoin because it was the first to make that name for itself.

Ripple will never qualify to be the next Bitcoin when we have lots of scalable and decentralized projects. Bitcoin is bitcoin, and I don't think there is any other coin that can replace the next bitcoin even if it's Ripple, or any other coin.

do you digress? Ripple is not a future king or candidate for the next bitcoin,
it's very funny that someone says Ripple is the next bitcoin, XRP in my opinion is just an altcoin,
just like any other altcoin, if you believe in XRP don't expect to replace Bitcoin, but hope to fly to $ 15 and more.

but XRP is not a stable asset. looks stable because it seems as if the movement looks slow, even when the bitcoin pump occurs XRP doesn't experience a big response. XRP is still very consistent and to compare it with my bitcoin we are still too far away even if we wait in the next 10 years.

I think it still takes a lot of time to show the expectations of XRP to catch up with the bitcoin price because bitcoin itself takes years with various problems and re-convince traders to continually try to invest in bitcoin every day to reach its peak price.

if i'm not wrong xrp is the strongest centralized cryptocurrency in the market, but thats doesn't mean if xrp will be the next bitcoin my friend
i think its very impossible for xrp to taking over the bitcoin and the price will never touch about $10

I don't think so. Fundamentally ripple and btc are very much different from each other. Bitcoin is the first crypto currency. It's fully decentralised. Its normally use as a payment options and it has the largest marketcap. Almost half of the wholes markets marketcap. In other hand ripple is not a fully decentralised token. Cause it's mainly backed by institutionnal investors and banks. It's also big. Its use case in bank sectors. It's also very popular and has a big marketcap. But some people don't like it. Because it's not decentralised. It's hard for ripple to replace or compete bitcoin atleast at this moment of time.

Did you mean that Ripple will take the position of Bitcoin as the #1 cryptocurrency in the crypto market?  Ripple currently costs less than $1 and even reaching its ATH ($3.8 on Jan 04, 2018) is impossible.  It takes a very large adoption for Ripple to be able to shift the position of Ethereum and Bitcoin, and the problem at the moment is that not many people like Ripple even though the fees for each transaction are cheap..

Ripple cannot be compared to Bitcoin, as it is not decentralized. And I don't think it will rise to $ 10, at least in the next few years. But it can grow to $ 2 next year. Ripple is in a very good situation now and it should grow until the end of the year.

Bitcoin is always Bitcoin. Ripple might grow high in its marketcap, and for that specific reason we can't state XRP to be the next bitcoin. More cryptocurrencies have promoted on their own, they're the next bitcoin. If we search those projects they aren't available on the coinmarketcap. This means those cryptocurrencies have gone out of usage. Every cryptocurrency have got its value and usage. In such a way XRP is good for transactions, through which we can expect massive progress and the same won't give it the position of bitcoin.

If you look at the current total XRP supply, $2 would be a huge asset. I'm not talking about Ath Libra hitting $3 a few years ago, but if you think about the large total supply of XRP, you must be thinking about how they reached that price level

I can't say that to you OP. Ripple is still different from bitcoin. It could not become next to bitcoin even in position in CMC. Ripple is a centralized coin while bitcoin is decentralised coin. They are both have good developments but bitcoin dominates more the market. Ripple or xrp is good at transaction. It only reduces you small amount of fees while bitcoin charges high amount of fees. Therefore, ripple cannot become bitcoin because they are both different cryptocurrencies with different ideas and system.

It is very unlikely that Ripple will become the next Bitcoin, because when compared properly it is very different between Bitcoin and Ripple.
Even Ethereum, which is much better than Ripple, is unlikely to be the next Bitcoin, let alone Ripple which is clearly centralized. So Ripple
was not created to replace Bitcoin, until whenever Ripple will not be the next Bitcoin.

And add the fact that Ripple is a centralized digital currency while Bitcoin is decentralized, the characteristic why most people patronized cryptocurrency especially Bitcoin. If we will be considering the stability of XRP to be the next money of the next century then I might consider but then again we have to consider that crypto must be free of the control of any government while all people can acquire that one if they want to.

I don't think so XRP will be the next bitcoin, because there are many types of crypto leading in the crypto market and all are fighting for the best position. If you are talking about stability I think XRP is the best stable coin in future, but I am sure XRP will not the next bitcoin because BTC, ETH, much more strong compared of XRP.

XRP isn't a decentralized crypto project, that's where things are marginally different, XRP can never be the next bitcoin and moreover XRP is in trouble with SEC presently and many holders are already exiting XRP market, price have been down since the announcement

As per the latest figures from Coinmarketcap, only $0.5 billion separates the 4th ranked Ripple from Litecoin (which is at no.5 in terms of market capitalization). Now remember that XRP had a market cap of $30 billion until last month, which has been reduced to $9 billion in less than five weeks. That is $21 billion, vanished almost overnight. I was expecting this for quite some time, as I always thought that XRP was overpriced. But never thought that this shitcoin would die out so soon.

Ethereum is, of course, a stable coin that is very difficult to replace bitcoin, especially ripple, which at this time might have fallen in price, of course it is impossible to replace bitcoin,
I think discussions like this are a waste of time

With the problem at the moment that they are facing it now, I fully doubt in it mate. Don't you know a lot community who support Ripple recently are now double thinking about their Ripple holdings. Because of the issues that they need to fix it first. That's one of the reason why the price of XRP dumped in the market, maybe some of the holders are got panic, what do you think?

One month back, XRP was trading at 4,200 Satoshis per token and now the exchange rate has gone below 700 Satoshis. This means that those who invested in this shitcoin got a ROI of -85% in just one month. This is meltdown of historic proportions. And hopefully this incident will teach the investors to stay away from the other overpriced shitcoins, which are still available in the market.

The United States Securities and Exchange Commission's (SEC) lawsuit against Ripple Labs which is considered to have violated the regulations on securities has caused panic sell and even several exchanges have made announcements about the possibility of delisting Ripple from their exchanges, one of which is Indodax.

This is next to impossible! With what Ripple (XRP) is facing right now being next to Bitcoin is very impossible to happen. Big exchanges already removed or delisted Ripple (XRP) on their platform. Bitwise, Coinbase, OKcoin, and recent news was from Bittrex. So it's very difficult to hope for Ripple (XRP) now.

a dream like this is very sad, especially since the SEC has announced that XRP is being investigated,
many people have said that XRP is not a desentalization, and that is my pity. Think for the next Bitcoin? impossible!

It was funny before and much funnier today.
Those hopes which will be the next bitcoin like this is only part of the entertainment. You can wish as much as you want.
But it's far from reality.

This is honestly something that people are talking about in the past few years but they were pertaining to Ethereum and now people/users are skipping past Ethereum and talks about Ripple as the next Bitcoin. I can say that Ripple is really useful even its value is just next to Ethereum. Ethereum though really proved itself by producing another feature or something that Developers created called DeFi. If Ripple can create something like that or something new, it might be next to Ethereum but not Bitcoin.

Even if Ripple manages to maintain at least some influence on the market and maintain the value of its coins, this will not happen very soon. There is more than one court session ahead. It remains only to sympathize with the holders of XRP tokens, who had the hope of making a profit in the future.

I hope they'll wake up, XPR might fall and they'll not be able to get out, unless they are playing with the fire here, or they really a high risk taker who are willing to lose what they invested in the hopes of big profit once Ripple wins the case.

right, friend, this is certainly a strange thing if to be questioned it seems that it is only things that want to look sensational or to make jokes which are certainly very entertaining.
hope, of course, whether this hope can be realized very easily, of course the answer is "no". yes it's not as easy as it thinks even though in crypto some say it might happen, but not for this.

ethereum alone, which has been with bitcoin for a long time, does not seem to be able and able to shift, even though there has been an ethereum market cap that has ever surpassed bitcoin, but that is just a ripple.
what about the xrp itself !!! To be the best altcoin, you may still need to work very hard to be able to shift Ethereum. so don't think about it so it just seems funny.

Nonetheless it's one of the most important and influential products in the current market, what happened this time for XRP is a bad thing, i think if bad news continues. It will be difficult for XRP to survive in this market after coming. But most of all, it has been with us for a long time, but i still believe it will survive and return to this market.

Still up to this day, however, with the recent lawsuit and then exchanges delisting or at least stop XRP trading, (deposits and withdrawals),  XRP is really on a lot of troubles and it's going to be hard to return to it's previous price of at least $0.50-$0.70 or reach their previous all time highs.

They are going to survived, it might takes years though and a lot of money to pay with SEC. So the project might go on a hiatus for sometime with just few pumps and dumps. And definitely, won't be the next bitcoin.

it was not supposed to be next Bitcoin, never ever, so this lawsuit would not change that at all
nevertheless, I also think that they will survive the lawsuit, but it is a question of when that be, and what the XRP value would be at that moment, seems that these values will be top for the coin for some time
there are new developments, people are now suing Coinbase for advertising the ICO when happened, and could bring new things on the table

Well they will just move to another country.  When they do price will go up big again.

But in the end they won't take over bitcoin. They were the first and will be like that.

When xrp has made a good profit after so many days it seems that xrp is a very good coin but when the owner of this xrp coin because of their wrong decision it is not possible to say whether xrp will pump now or not, J holds xrp in the bone. When xrp pumps again, but Zara holds, they can sell all the coins with their profit and then xrp will go back to its previous place. So I can say from my personal idea I don't think xrp will pump easily anymore.

Better safe than sorry, but if you are a risk taker and you are willing to spare your money.

There's always an opportunities each time some pumped take place, if you position yourself in the right time then gaining is very possible, as long as you are ready to take any consequence and you'll be keep on monitoring the situation taking the benefits can be done.

This crypto embarrassment is a good laugh any day.
XRP gambles sent money to Ripple managers who get richer by the minute.
https://cointelegraph.com/news/xrp-the-third-largest-collapse-of-all-time-says-the-tie-s-josh-frank

Coinbase sued over illegal xrp sales   https://u.today/breaking-coinbase-sued-over-illegal-xrp-sales

In recent days XRP tokens are like running out of breath and many even say they will die if the problem with the SEC is not resolved, but if their problem can be resolved, then survival and life is still very possible, but to say the next Bitcoin, it is very ridiculous.

https://cointelegraph.com/news/faulty-data-grayscale-didn-t-liquidate-massive-amounts-of-xrp-and-xlm
Faulty data? Grayscale didn’t liquidate massive amounts of XRP and XLM
"A Grayscale spokesperson confirmed to Cointelegraph that the fund manager didn’t dump massive stakes of XRP and XLM.

Efforts to reach Grayscale on Wednesday were unsuccessful. However, on Thursday, a Grayscale spokesperson told Cointelegraph:

“None of the Grayscale investment products operate a redemption program. The net holdings of our investment products only change as a result of inflows from the private placement, price of the underlying assets and accrued management fee.”

“Statements about large sales of underlying assets by any of our investment products are false and inaccurate. Any perceived large decrease in the USD value of Grayscale XRP Trust would have been a result of a decrease in the USD price of XRP.”
"

Ripple has an enormous gathering of supporters, speculators and holders, the company despite the fact that accused of being run like a centralized corporate organization is as yet dynamic and not just concocting new formative updates and new items yet their associations and business manages other monetary gatherings are additionally noteworthy yet I think bitcoin has its own class, classification and appeal so we can't look at the two regardless.

This topic has gone crazy. if they really do something like that, I think they are embarrassing, not only from XRP, but from the crypto side considering that they are one of the top coins with a high volume and also a lot of users

If its true that they are continue  selling their tokens to traders for years until  now then the SEC SUED them is right,and they can not just solve this issue without being fined its a lot of lost to investors and traders that fully trust them their money and thinking that they are in the right track having many partnership around the globe. But the truth is that they just keep selling while others believe in them that they really have a good plan for their coins.


If you check the supply of bitcoin and ripple you will have an idea why even in dream its not possible to increase its
value  the same as BTC.

Maybe now the sec will give a detailed insight what their thoughts about ripple is, how they feel it might not survive this pressure they are currently facing,
Lol! The topic sounds even more ridiculous now that btc is smashing the entire space and ripple ship is fast sinking like the titanic,
There is no point to continue discussing this because it is clear to all that can never be the next btc, not with all lack of transparency and trust.

I think the community is trying hard to keep the price afloat.  It is not a surprise because the XRP devs have lots of fund to support the market because of their previous monthly dumps.

---

I wonder if the title is yet answered.  As we all know at this current situation, Ripple is far from being the next Bitcoin but who knows, maybe there is a turn of event though I would still be careful when dealing with XRP with its current situation.

That only
dream and that will never happen. Is that make sense if we are talking about the possibility for ripple to surpass bitcoin while at the same time ripple can't even surpass its old ATH? Dude, that's a big joke that comes from the ripple community and I think that they must try to predict based on the real data.

Regrettably, I see that Ripple has gone down markedly after showing signs of inflation and their bullish plans with exchanges. Ripple's value is losing steam in the crypto world. Even so, it's still in the top 10 and it's still a hopeful option. And Ripple cannot be the next f bitcoin.

It should be a wake up call on how a US government agency wrekt so many XRP hodl'ers, in the interest of what?  Of who??

At some point, people need to walk away from FIAT and never look back.

Ripple being the next bitcoin isn't gonna happen now or then. The bitcoin network is completely decentralized and that's the reason why Bitcoin stands high in the market. XRP being centralized, the community can keep the market in a stabilized manner. If they try hard, through manipulation can make the XRP market get bounced.

Exactly.  Unless a project is decentralized, it will always be controlled by someone in the shadows.

With no "centralized" exchanges, holders are SOL.  All the more reason for the expansion of DeFi exchanges.  The missing puzzle piece in the crypto movement.

All the hopes of Ripple whales and bag holders crash because of the case they are facing, this question pop up when they beat Ethereum in the second position and bag holders have hatched this idea, it's not going to happen anymore, it's a long climb for Ripple to get their reputation back, and they are now spending their resources by hiring the best lawyer, they need to get positive feedback, No, Ripple is not going to be the next Bitcoin but they are going to be the next dead coin if SEC succeed.

That only dream and that will never happen. Is that make sense if we are talking about the possibility for ripple to surpass bitcoin while at the same time ripple can't even surpass its old ATH? Dude, that's a big joke that comes from the ripple community and I think that they must try to predict based on the real data.

Some investors are aiming high and to say that it will never happen, I think that is completely wrong because we never know what will happen in the future.  If we go back to the past when bitcoin was still almost worthless, would you believe that it will reach $40,000 in the future? I guess most people would not believe, what I'm trying to say is that development happens and if people appreciate it, they will invest which will create demands and you know what will happen next.

on what basis does ripple compete with bitcoin ?. maybe in the past ripple still has the possibility to compete with bitcoin, but if you look at the current condition of ripple which is a lot of trouble, I think it will be impossible, even though ripple has risen again after winning the court , it still difficult for ripple

Actually, whats happening is, XRP and ADA will skyrocket together, bottoms up  ;)

Some traders group is causing this pump so be aware. There is nothing behind this like good news or something like this. You can get a decent profit, but if you buy when they are dumping you would be left as a bagholder.

No, not at all, if you look at the XRP market cap it could be it's higher than LTC, LINK. XRP still can not beat LTC, LINK, USDT. On the other side, ETH still fighting with BTC and I believe everybody knows about Ethereum. Then why people talk like this. In my opinion, Ripple will not next bitcoin, it's impossible.

I am quite sure that this is not the case. Ripple can't be the next bitcoin. Never. I wouldn’t compare them for anything, since it’s like sky and earth. Ripple can only be used for speculative purposes, don't store for a long time and get rid of it at the first advantageous opportunity. To do this successfully, you need to choose a suitable place.
For example, https://cryptototem.com/bitmax-review/. Don't be lazy to choose the exchange that is best for you.

I find it very strange because people who really believe in the cryptocurrency market still manage to support XRP. Everyone should have their own opinion, but I do not support the XRP project.

XRP has got potentials the way i see it and is a good investing opportunity but then, its far from being the next bitcoin. I would have considered Ethereum but then, non of the cryptocurrencies would attain the growth bitcoin has attained so far. So, having eyes on bitcoin growth as at now and views on XRP would be an exaggerated fact for these currencies and would be extremely difficult to contend with in the long run. A few weeks of growth is far less for a long term investment analysis.

With the recent problem they are facing, I don't see the potential anymore, they are now battling the SEC and usually the chance of winning is very low so its investors will definitely get affected with this trial they are facing. Good luck to them, hopefully they'll be able to surpass this big problem as it could kill their project and many will regret investing in ripple.

I think until February 22nd there will be no abrupt changes in the XRP, perhaps after the trial there will be a shift, but this is all very uncertain. I’m going over this currency.

The Strong Ripple shows last year is the weakness happening to this now, and XRP has been being in the edge now and others thinking this will be having an exit scam soon.

This proves one thing , that Ripple will  never be the Next Bitcoin because Bitcoin will never face same case like what they did.

Bitcoin will always stay Clean and progressing  .
Just make sure that you are ready for the consequences , because this will be very risky Minding you mare.

I never realized the potential of ripple in any other way because in thought and after I look at the long process that Ripple has shown, ripple's nature is relatively stable and only suitable for cost reduction when we want to transfer some amount in crypto. In addition, Ripple has had relatively bad news and received a lot of negative feedback from investors and the community but the most surprising is still market manipulation, prices are still rising as if nothing has happened to the project, it makes me worried about the future of this project

Apparently the Ripple team is not going to give up. They all make statements for their investors and give hope for the continuation of their activities. But if I were a potential client, I would not rush to conclusions, but wait for a real decision on their lawsuit. It can be anything good and bad, but I think we have to wait.

A classic, the Ripple team waiting for XRP gamlers to sent some money. Lets make some statements for encouragement for the money to change pockets.

2021 is something of a "break out" year for most people post Covid (whenever that might be) so people are looking to expand their holdings with the popular crypto and have probably recalled coins such as Ripple and have decided to divert some fiat Ripple's way instead of to Bitcoin, or ETH along with the rest of their Fiat they intend to invest.

My portforlio is about 80% XRP and 20% 0xMR and I'm doing well.

this won't ever be conceivable on the grounds that Bitcoin is the best cash ever and Bitcoin is spread everywhere on the world. different associations or organizations will currently utilize Bitcoin, so the estimation of Bitcoin will increment and the quantity of clients will increment. Anyway swell is a good token yet won't ever approached bitcoin gold not to mention BTC and Because there are numerous good monetary forms under bitcoin

Ripple is next ripple and Bitcoin is Bitcoin. Every project and coin is unique in its own sense and there are dozens of factors and situations effecting each and every project so we cannot just compare them. But if you really think Ripple can be the next BTC then I think Possible as possibility but very low in chances thats what i think.

Ripple is not and will never be the next bitcoin for lots of reasons firstly ripple is not fully decentralized whioe bitcoin is fully  decentralised secondly Ripple blockchain is not as strong as bitcoin's blockchain and ripple as a company is already having problems offline and legal issues but bitcoin never had such. bitcoins have by far the largest market cap of all cryptocurrencies and is by far the most popular cryptocurrency in the world the closest competition to bitcoin right now is ethereum and binance coin

Ripple is not a decentralized crypto like bitcoin rather it's a centralized one so it can never be like bitcoin. To compete bitcoin one must satisfy the principle of decentralization.
