People call XRP a scam coin because it has banks involved in it and the total number of tokens are high as well. There are a few who also talk about XRP to become the next BTC and even surpass BTC's marketcap tenfolds (it's a joke to me but as it's crypto, anything can happen). For that to happen, XRP needs to do a >100x even from its current value which seems impossible to me. Yet, I believe XRP has the potential to do above $2.5 this alt season and then, get back under $1. About BTC, sky is the limit because it's in a zone where a new ATH is yet to be decided, but I believe it should cross above $22.5k for a healthy ATH this time.
I do not think it is either, XRP is not the next bitcoin but it is one of the oldest coins in the market since the idea behind it has been around for a very long time, so it is not a scam either, the reason a great deal of the community does not like it has to do with the fact that it is a centralized coins controlled by banks and as you can remember bitcoin exists so it can give us an option to not be part of that system and XRP does not offer this at all.
actually thats true! a lot dont like this coin because of its centralised nature. however, i for one, is using this coin for transfer purposes because of its cheap tx fee and quite fast, which makes it as a good payment option, which is one of their goals for this coin.
xrp is about to rise its value in few days because of this spark token airdrop, but i have the feeling that they will go down after the snapshot. so for those xrp holders, be prepared on what to do after the snapshot, sell or hold? either way, make sure before you sell, it is above your buying price. at least get profit out of it
