Bitcoin will be dethroned, it will come someday. But i think its still hard to tell that Ripple will be the one who would do it. Ripple is at its ATH right now, iwere everyone is FOMOing. If the dust settle and it remain it top spot with succeeding months, yes it might become. Ripple has great potential, low transaction fees, faster transaction etc.
yes, I agree with you, today it's hard to lose the BTC throne. no altcoin is capable. may someday be able to abdicate, but not by ripple. because I see today the ripple is still weak. we do not know what happens tomorrow
