Can bitcoin be dethroned?

[Clover_Faith]

The current rise of Ripple is quite significant, at market cap Ethereum the long standing 2nd is way below Ripple now and its still going very strong.
I personally know many people who want to get into crypto are getting in via Ripple only.
So I know its a big IF but, if this trend keeps going, can it even surpass bitcoin?

Is bitcoin in danged or being dethroned as No. 1 at coin market cap?

Actually i dont know if they can dethroned bitcoin maybe they have trying to stop bitcoin but i think they find a ways to ban bitcoin and i think they need time to think of it. All we need to do is to enjoy bitcoin in the present. Use and use bitcoin and earn more until no one can stop it.

It's going to be a hard fight to dethrone great Bitcoin. If that is going to happen it will take another 10 years but for now I have not seen any coin that can do that.

Bitcoin won't be dethroned!
Remember 1 month ago when Iota has its pump, or Lite coin or cardano..
So ripple has now its pump, but the next days are the days of Bitcoin

Ask me the same question a few months ago and I will give the same reply as yours. But as of today I am not that confident anymore. My only hope is that, in becoming 2nd or 3rd in market capitalization, it will still be the best decentralized cryptocurrency for the whole community.

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

I don't really don't think that bitcoin will replace by any altcoins someday because in a sense that bitcoin started this cyrptocurrency into it's popularity. The thing that happen with bitcoin, it shows already of being dominant to all digital currencies and even USD had never escaped from it.

no they are not.

Yes, they are and in numbers too.
I know many people who are first time crypto investors and who have invested in Ripple in amount varying from $20 to $1000 and even more.
So, yes it has been a trend in the past couple of weeks or so.
Hence the surge in its position, value and market cap.
