Is ripple going to overtake bitcoin ?

[sean.maley]

Not gonna happen till ripple is suddenly adopted by all banks as their blockchain coin and Bitcoin is banned by all countries. Ripple just had a momentary boost or a so called pump and is now retracing back to its previous price. Currently, there is no coin that can overtake Bitcoin. Bitcoin is just too huge.

Of course bitcoin is too huge and cannot be overtaken by either ripple or ether. I cannot believe how people can think that may happen.

I don't think that this ever happen. Bitcoin is to huge and popular cryptocurrency

With the regulation on December 22, the value fell below $ 1. However, this decline took a very short time and the XRP went through a rapid upward trend and saw the new record, $ 2.84. This trend led Ripple to take 2nd place in the market with $ 90.5 billion in capital. This rapid rise of Ripple led to controversy in the crypto society. Some are of the opinion that Ripple may be a fraud committed by some banks and financial industry while some believe that BTC is the new successor.

It will never happen that ripple will replace or overtake bitcoin. Maybe just for now ripple increasing and bitcoin is dicreasing but it cant replace it. It will never happen that the value of ripple can increase and will the same as the value of bitcoin. Decreasing the value of bitcoin is just for now maybe few day after the value bitcoin will increase more that the highest value it takes. We dont know what will happen next but the that i know is that ripple will never be the same as bitcoin and it can never be overtake it.

It is only because of huge total supply 10 billions XRP (okay even with circulation supply ~40 billions in coinmarketcap calculation) This guano have no utility for banks, they are need technology, not XRP

Those days ripple is doing really well, it has more than half of bitcoin market cap and has 19% market dominance.
I hate ripple as a cryptocurrency as it's centralized, now seems that ripple is the queen, not ethereum.

That really is making me upset but I want to hear your thoughts.

no ripple can't be replace the bitcoin, right now the ripple market is down i think cause ripple can't hold more volume again and the price can't get up anymore this ripple gonna down and down and the price will go back to normal. this coin is one of the best investment beside bitcoin but right now it's a little expensive.

I do not think ripple can replace bitcoin as the best coin. Though it might have replaced Ethereum as the second best as Ethereum is only worth a few thousands, it cannot replace bitcoin which has a price of over $14000.
Besides, one of the reasons bitcoin is the best coin is because it is decentralized, as ripple is centralized, I'm very sure it can't replace bitcoin.

For me it's very impossible for the ripple to overtake bitcoin because is the best of all crypto currencies. Bitcoin is very high to reach by other alts and no one can reach what bitcoin has reach and everyone can tell that.

We do not know that the ripple will override the bitcoin because the bitcoin is known by the crypto currency but the new's bigger is actually the ripple. Ripple, also known as XRP, is the third largest cryptocurrency in terms of market capitalisation – which refers to a company’s outstanding shares. SOUTH Korean regulators discussing implementing tighter regulations surrounding cryptocurrencies hurt the value of most major blockchain currencies, except for ripple.

[Simonjonesfamily]

Yes Ripple can catch and beat Bitcoin in market cap, especially as big banks are now getting in on it.  It creates an interesting question for all currencies going forward.

Bitcoin is the foundation of many coins but is the oldest which means it doesn't have the technologies of the newer coins. Newer coins are improved and have more features but they don't have the development of the bitcoin team

[tanjiran]

You are right, the presence of XRP in the top three coinmarketcap little shake the dominance of BTC and ETH. This is becoming more interesting because XRP has a larger volume of ETH, even though its unit price is cheaper than  ETH price so many people switch with XRP. I think ETH is preparing strategy for this, we just wait what will happen, hopefully bubble XRP can last long.

[spring07]

This is a tough call, a very tall order. I dont think ripple can achieve that feat.

[alihassan99]

i dont think ripple can overtake the bitcoin. may be the marketcap increases if ripple is supported by some good comapnies in future. i think the the increase in the marketcap is due to the the bank acceptance. but i dont think the price of the ripple increases to a high level.

[HTHP]

I don't think that ripple is going to overtake BTC, look at the supply it's not the same.
ETH may come back to rank number 2.

[tabas]

Enough with this overtaking thing, let's don't ask things such as like this and we'll just see it if it happens. But to the fact they are different coins that does have different focus, comparing and thinking that other will overtake bitcoin. You have to re-think.

[Swoshinima]

I read the title and thought .... WTF?!

Simple answer: No it won't.

I don't suggest buying it now, because it pumped extremely in the last few weeks, try to find unpumped coins instead.

[Nilupulie]

I agree your comment and ripple is showing a upward trend these days. But it is not easy to pass king coin like bitcoin. Personally i do not believe that ripple can replace bitcoin.

[Scallywag]

Maybe they will overtake bitcoin which i don't hope. But they won't be number 1 i think.
All the good things about bitcoin , ripple takes them and destroys them.

[bitfocus]

Ripple is just huge hyped right now just as ETH some months back, Bitcoin is competitionless.
