Ripple replacing Bitcoin in 2018

[Chokolo]

I think that in 2018 Ripple will be the preferred coin and will take over as the biggest network by a good margin. Money is already moving away from Bitcoin and people are selling it for XRP and other cryptocoins.

Im glad to see people finally see that the true «shitcoin» is Bitcoin.

It is painfully slow, it takes away peoples money because transactions are very expensive, and it consumes a whole country worth of electricity because it is so inefficient and requires so much computer power just to have it running. In addition its forking left and right because miners cant agree on something and its anarchy there now.

I believe it is still too far from the truth. Basing on its current status Ripple might be having a hard time to cope up as much as bitcoins performance is concern. Ripple was only made such of bitcoins pattern. Though it is a prefered coin and has a potential, I don't think it can surpass Bitcoin this 2018. Still, Bitcoin will claim it's glory on top since it is the mother of all coins being generated in the industry. Just like any other altcoins it is striving its to be in the top of their game. It is great to see that Ripple is that steps up to it potentials.

It really hard to every single coin to replace bitcoin. But there is a chance for ripple because it has a really good potential but it needs many years because as we see now the difference price between ripple and bitcoin like earth and sky so far away.

I'm sure Ripple can replace Bitcoin to rank 1 in coinmarketcap.com, because as he is ranked 2nd after ETH no one can suspect it, therefore I think Ripple could replace Bitcoin.

I hope XRP overtakes BTC but I think for it to happen in 2018 is a bit far fetched IMHO.
But then again, Adidas passed Nike and all it took was Kayne!

Lets not forget that Ripple went from $8B to $90B in ONE month. Bitcoin sits at $240B and is declining every single day.

I think it will happen very soon. Money is flowing in to Ripple in a extremely fast pace

Ripple won't replace bitcoin in use and community though it may replace in marketcap.
Tough bitcoin has it's own limitations, a enterprise controlled token can't be considered a cryptocurrency.

27 of the world largest banks are running a trial of their own blockchain as a replacement for SWIFT. If you think the banks would use something owned by the public when they can own it themselves you really don't understand how they think.

I don't think it's that simple, I think it's too naive to think that ripple could take Bitcoin because ripple got a good rising and shift eth position, it's not easy to replace Bitcoin, most of the place already accepting Bitcoin and the market dominance of Bitcoin is very high

[tsaroz]

Ripple is going through same phase what bitcoin went between Early November 2017 to Mid December 2017.
It's the fiat based large investors and hedge funds jumping into them.

Firstly bitcoin and Ripple are a completely different thing.
It's like comparing gold with real estate.
But rather correctly it's like comparing a popular cryptocoin with a ponzi.

True but People cant even mine Bitcoin today unless they own expensive asics. The whole currency is nothing more than investing project at this point.
Ripple is better in every way (faster, cheaper) and have far better potential at getting much better value increase. Not to mention Ripple is about making payments much faster and cheaper for everyone.

If you want to mine and make money, you can do that on several other cryptonetworks that is much better than Bitcoin.

Bitcoin sucks in every way. There is no point in keeping it alive and Im glad to see people selling their Bitcoins and see Bitcoin go down in value. These changes are long overdue.

[Rambukwelle]

I believe Bitcoin should be replaced by a good Alt Coin in the future and it will definetely happen in the years to come. But I dont not want Ripple to hold the position of the King !

[Fundamentals Of]

I think that will not happen. The problem is that people will easily speculate, and then they do so with the extremes in their heads. Ripple (XRP) suddenly surpassed Ethereum (ETH) and Bitcoin Cash (BCH). Well, they earned that to be fair to the Ripple team. Ripple is really a good coin and project and the Ripple Team is really doing their best for the project to succeed. But the people sometimes are jumping into extreme conclusions with a sudden pump. It will not happen.

LOL at your argument.
Although Ripple has grown well recently and may keep growing big in 2018, it won't be able to replace bitcoin ever due to its centralized nature. Even though many are investing in Ripple, but people who understand crypto and are in it for the decentralization of their assets, won't ever stick with Ripple.

Ripple's user base is far less than bitcoin, so it's hard to replace bitcoin, which is recognized by all countries, but Ripple?

[NaissuR]

lol they are definetely using zombies now..
shilling is everywhere

if centralized coins that controlled by banks and government will replace bitcoin, its a bad thing guys

I don't think so. Ripple may well be that drowsing massive that we have been all on the lookout for but Ripple will take time just to catch up with Bitcoin. Lets see how high can XRP reach this year

I don't think Ripple is the one that can replace Bitcoin as the main cryptocurrency, it can grow more this year because banks are starting to adopt it but Ripple is a centralized cryptocurrency that is controlled by its company with all supply are pre-mined and how did you know that people are selling their Bitcoin to buy Ripple? you should give a strong evidence that will prove that it is true. Bitcoin struggles right now because it is not practical to make transaction anymore especially small transactions, but it will surely have a solution and LN will be released soon.

[beachbummer]

BTC may be challenged by an altcoin in 2018, but I do not see it being replaced. Maybe not for another 2-3 years.

And even if it is to be replaced, I doubt it will be XRP. Probably just a lambo moon dream by XRP holders...
