Does anyone else get this feeling?

Do you think Bitcoin (myspace) will start being dominated by Ripple (facebook) over the next couple of years? Bitcoin might have been the first crypto successfully released (but certainly not the first devised), but Ripple trumps it in almost every department (transaction speed, protocol, contracts, the ability to trade ANYTHING etc etc etc).

Please don't even mention litecoin, shitcoin, primecoin, potcoin or any of those other pathetic clones (which all stem from Bitcoin). Nothing matches the sheer amount of funding and team size that Ripple currently has working on it.

Don't believe me? RippleLabs.com

What's your end game when things play out?

ripple is - still - not opensource and is somewhat centralized.
i dont think ripple will succeed.

You seem to know what you're talking about...

And I could argue that Bitcoin is somewhat centralized (but I can't be bothered).

where is the ripple-server-source?

edit: one difference between ripple-centralization and bitcoin centralization is: with bitcoin i can (theoretically) build a new mining-farm and be part of the "centralization". with ripple i cannot

No hard feelings. Loads of people don't realize that it is open source.

Other coin in principle is to clone Bitcoin, but they also have their own merits, personal views.

Just a little late 

[coin_coin]

next couple of years , no one know what will happen.

[smilecoin23]

Bitcoin will be the leading role in a long time, but who knows what will happen? And in this guess let us witness.

After Bitcoin I would say some form of NXT is going to be the market leader.

Have you used Ripple?

Personally I found the IOU thing a royal pain in the ass. I don't understand it exactly, most don't but you don't really own anything but you trust others for stuff.

It might get built on to make it user friendly but now its fully in geek tech head territory...

xrp / rippels itself are no IOUs.
only other currencies (like btc or usd) are. but i also have more faith in pts/nxt/msc atm

XCP is incredibly undervalued right now.

[kelsey]

ripple is too complicated to be the facebook to bitcoin's myspace, facebook dominated myspace because to was way simplier to create a page (well they gave you and everyone the same one), so average Joe could adopt.

[sudukkk]

Now too many rumors about the ripple.

[ShroomsKit_Disgrace]

If you consider Ripple the facebook of Bitcoin, you must consider NXT the twitter of Ripple.

Every advantage that Ripple has over Bitcoin, it is already in NXT but totally decentralized and open source.

Ripple

LOL

[gustav]

lol. push that crap more. You get a share of those premined ripples? ... it is not even crypto in that sense ... it is a private company - why should i buy into that company? What can it do that could not be cloned in a non-profit-manner at any time?

[FoBoT]

if i can't mine it, it doesn't matter. i am not paying someone else for my crypto. if i can't make it myself, then it is right out

[braytz]

Ripple

LOL
