Yes, there are wily traders out there that milk XRP-seeking noobs for all the market can bear, but 20k btcxrp rate is just plain silly: rarity-wise, it is the same as stating that XRP is almost as good as BTC. Ridiculous statement when you're comparing a mature and battle-tested decentralized opensource platform with a centralized closed-source experiment still in its early beta.
Why are you offloading Bitcoins for XRP then?
