I am personally still a newbie concerning the crypto coins knowledge, especially altcoin, just have known a bit about ripple. I felt that as ripple value increase, then bitcoin will be doomed as ripple can carry the value in the real world, then we no longer need bitcoin.
Anyway just my opinion.
I've same thought with you.
My opinion ripple has discovered the actual problem of crypto. It's so simple thing.
The main thing of crypto to be the micropayment method. And they discovered to make the instant and really cheap transaction than bitcoin.
That's why a lot of Asians are like ripple.
The politicians of bitcoin have destroyed the bitcoin itself.
We all know, bitcoin as a rule in crypto.
But the possibility still always there. This about to solve the actual problem on crypto.
It's not about building a good infrastructure or good innovation.
