Could Ripple XRP replace bitcoin before it is widely accepted?
If ripple allows users to send money instantly and almost fee free, with a pretty and easy to use UI.
Plenty of money to burn on advertising and reputation building.
Business and Financial connections likely to get them accepted on large merchant sites.
Why would the average person have any interest in Bitcoin?
More important could Ripple become controlled by business or government?
I'm not suggesting any of this is fact.
Just wanna hear the opinions of people that actually know stuff.
In my opinion, Ripple is not a cryptocurrency, as it can be better or worse than bitcoin, they simply do not compare, I do not trust Ripple, it is controlled by a bunch of people, which means that they will do what they want.
