Is there any chance that XRP can defeat BTC?

[beckspace]

There is no altcoin can defeat Bitcoin yet,  I think XRP has no chance of overcoming Bitcoin. Crypto investors' trust in Bitcoin will continue to make Bitcoin the market leader.

[Kiefner]

There is a chance, but it is very small. I do not think that Bitcoin will fall so much and that it has become so weak that Ripple will be able to overtake him.

XRP has not defeated Ethereum. Investors are putting huge money into Ripple because it is constantly developing and making a lot of agreements with centralised banks. But Ripple is not a crypto currency and would never be better as ETH or BTC.

the ripple has moved from the word crypto and the decentralized system so even though now the ripple is ranked 2 but in the end the ripple will lose to ethereum even rank 3 will be taken over by EOS because people will definitely prefer crypto compared to the ripple that have come out of crypto

I'd say there is a 25% chance that XRP is valued higher than BTC by the end of 2019 and I'd say there is a 80-90% chance its valued higher than BTC by 2021.  Proof of work has proven to be insecure (see ETC) and lead to greater centralization.  It's now scary how easy and profitable carrying out a 51% attack on POW coins including BTC.  Also, the XRP ledger is much more decentralized than either BTC or ETH.  Currently Ripple only controls 5% of the validators on the XRP ledger and its getting smaller and smaller.  The fact is that the Lightning Network is a mess and can't offer certainty.  Without this there is zero chance that BTC fulfills its original use case.  On the other hand XRP's ecosystem is expanding rapidly and soon network effects (Metcalfe's Law) will take shape.  It's game over from this point.  Until now crypto has been based completely on speculation and now it will be utility driven demand which drives the price.  XRP is uniquely positioned to solve the $27 TRILLION dollar nostro/vostro problem. 

Oh and for everyone spouting incorrect FUD such as they will create more... please read and educate yourselves.

but if looking ripple performance in market , investors very interested buying ripple.and now as we see in market ripple capitalization beat ethereum.who but if we looking ripple supply and other reason ,in my opinion difficult for ripple to beat bitcoin as king of crypto.

Based on https://coinmarketcap.com/. XRP defeated ETH again. Is there any chance that XRP can defeat BTC too in the future?

I certainly doubt it, bitcoin strongly dominates the market, and bitcoin technology is better because it has created a blockchain on which is now based and ripple and all the coins

It is a leader of cryptocurrency and it will always be on top. XRP has a good ambition but it will never happen because bitcoin is the founder of all coins. Though XRP is doing good on hyping their coin, but I still believe they can’t beat bitcoin.

[anehh]

Bitcoin can never be defeated, because Bitcoin is a big power in cryptocurrency that has the highest price and becomes the king of crypto. At present and in the future, bitcoin will always lead the crypto currency market and become the king of crypto.

[Henisusan]

I think XRP won't be able to defeat Bitcoin. It is surprising that the XRP can rise to the second position after shifting Ethereum. And until now XRP still survives and of course, this is very good for the development of XRP. But we know that Bitcoin is also developing. So it's very difficult for XRP to get past Bitcoin.

As I suspect everyone must reject the statement if Altcoin is able to oppose the position of Bitcoin, I agree that XRP coins are good and good because they can rival ETH. In the future anything can happen that Altcoin continues to compete and produce better projects but to defeat Bitcoin it's better to forget it.

Ripple hasn't been established yet compared with bitcoin, so there's no chance that it can beat the bahavior of bitcoin. Since from the beginning bitcoin has gained high reputation specially the adoption from different part of the world. More new holders were taking responsibility of keeping this asset as brilliant and wise investment.

No, no one coin can defeat bitcoin, bitcoin is major of all altcoin, altcoin price is based of bitcoin price if bitcoin down altcoin also will down. Bitcoin raise up, altcoin will raise up too. Yes maybe XRP defeated ETH again but, in of course ETH will defeat XRP again. Even XRP and ethereum cant defeated bitcoin

It's a long shot and the gap is very wide and the battle between Ethereum and Ripple is not yet over, Eth can still get the second spot after the hardfork, even if they have a chance to beat Bitcoin I don't want and will not support that Ripple is a centralized project something the whole community is not adopting.

[The Cryptologist]

If in terms of value, btc will always dominate over xrp. But in the sense of worldwide usage, I think xrp will win on this. They have a great marketing on their project and they already get interviewed on ellen and donated some money so others will be educated about it.

[darefreads]

I still out my investments in Bitcoin because he still has the great potential to grow his value and XRP still based his value to Bitcoin. And I still believe that in this two currency Bitcoin still dominate in this fight of the throne because of his many experiences that encountered in the past few years.

"Cryptocurrency" which is fully centralised cant even names as a cryptocurrency => it never defeat BTC, even full supply (100B) throw away to the market...

[Suwycu]

This is not the case. Ripple is not able to fully outperform Ethereum not only in terms of capitalization, but also in functional features, so Bitcoin cannot definitely win it!

[Endikadija]

The full supply that will be thrown by the team in the future will create a big dump for a shitty centralized coin with a lot of premined coin for developers. It's a non-sense thing to compare the truly decentralized coin with a centralized coin that fully controlled by the developers.

LMAOO, thinking that all the BTC whales wont dump without restrictions but a company that solves a trillion dollar problemwill dump its coins so it will destroy it'sbusiness is really crypto tinfoilhat pathetic.

BTC is the least decentralized crypto there is. Just LOL

Even XRP is more decentralised than Bitcoin and eferium ever wanted to be

[clipman77]

There is no chance of such, he can temporarily show a good growth, but it will not be very easy for him to stay in the first place, so you should not think about it seriously.
