Is XRP the next Bitcoin?

[BTCETFInvestor]

I believe there is nothing to argue in here, we all know that XRP will never replace Bitcoin, nor be called the next Bitcoin due to many reasons stated by the earlier reply.  I also think someone is shilling XRP, maybe the dev team or the supporters have a plan to pump the price of this altcoin.  

I think if there is any hint for this altcoin to pump, we should take advantage of the opportunity and sell it the moment we find a profit, after all, this kind of altcoin is just created to make money (just look how huge the developer team is cashing out every month).

Anyway, Bitcoin is only one, and no cryptocurrency will ever be the next Bitcoin. If there is something to replace Bitcoin, it would be another kind of financial technology, which is way more advanced and user-friendly.

 

I still think USDT may take over both of them one day.

Anyway, I somehow agree with @Charles-Tim that USDT may overtake both in term of being used as payment option.

I think you're missing the point of the OP's thread title question. I don't think he is asking if XRP is going to replace Bitcoin. I think he is asking the question in terms of XRP having great investment potential like Bitcoin has been...

This is not correct.

So you did not know that OP and I are on the same page?

See what OP conclusion is:

I do not know if anyone ever thought that xrp would be the same as bitcoin or would be the next bitcoin but just by looking at the two, the differences are too noticeable. If you want to ever compare an altcoin (or god forbid a memecoin) to bitcoin, just write it out and notice how foolish you sound.

Also go back to the OP post and read everything that he posted and know that he compared both and finalized it with no coin like bitcoin.

Correct, no coin like bitcoin, but context matters! XRP could possibly be a good investment for early investors, similar to how early investors in Bitcoin has been.  

[moneystery]

from any perspective, ripple cannot be compared to bitcoin. whether it is said to have a larger supply, lower transaction fees, etc., it is all nonsense. it is still a shitcoin.. and you cannot compare it to bitcoin, which has better security and reliability than shitcoins like ripple. bitcoin is built on a decentralized system, whereas XRP was developed and is heavily influenced by a single company, ripple labs, and this alone is a major red flag. yet people still believe that XRP will become the next bitcoin? it never will.

You cannot compare Bitcoin BTC with XRP or with any other altcoin. No altcoin can become the next Bitcoin even in decades. Even for the investments, the portfolio should consist of a majority of bitcoins, and a very small amount of money can be allocated for XRP. I know XRP has a big fan following and it is known as a "Bankers Coin" but even the bankers prefer to hold bitcoin.

This narrative is done long time ago and whoever is that author of that article is free to say whatever they want to say. But when I say that it's long time ago, it actually means it was. They can make a good read of articles when comparing Bitcoin to any next to it like XRP sounding that they're genius behind that. Although they cannot really fool people who have been here for quite a while because it's all understandable that they just want to make people satisfy who holds it that they have some thing to believe. Well, it's not believable to us but to them, it might be a motivation that they are going to think of and will increase the value because of that false narrative.

There is definitely a lot of growing interest in the Ripple coin XRP.

Could XRP (Ripple) Be the Next Bitcoin?

I am sure upon seeing the title, you leapt out of your seat and got ready to disprove me. Well that is also my reaction upon seeing the title of this article. I then read the entire article and it gave reasons why xrp can be the next bitcoin.

The article starts by introducing the two indicating their current value: Two of the most popular cryptocurrencies right now are Bitcoin and XRP (XRP 1.95%). As of this writing (July 28), Bitcoin's price of roughly $120,000 is hovering near all-time highs. Meanwhile, at only $3, XRP appears much more modest.

Looking at the value already, we can say that these two are miles away from each other. But then the article continues to dive into what makes xrp so unique to be compared to bitcoin.... Ripple offers a compelling alternative payments network for cross-border transactions. The Ripple network allows transactions to settle within seconds, and at a much lower cost compared to SWIFT (Society for Worldwide Interbank Financial Telecommunication) network.

The article then compared the two's supply. Bitcoin has a limit of 21 million while xrp has 100 billion limit. It made me laugh how the article quite explicitly said this about xrp... the scarcity psychology seen with Bitcoin doesn't seem to be present.

I think that we can stop reading the article after this one sentence... Ripple holds a portion of the XRP supply, meaning the token itself is not fully decentralized like Bitcoin is.

I do not know if anyone ever thought that xrp would be the same as bitcoin or would be the next bitcoin but just by looking at the two, the differences are too noticeable. If you want to ever compare an altcoin (or god forbid a memecoin) to bitcoin, just write it out and notice how foolish you sound.

In the article, I miss some information about have XRP and BTC differ in terms of resilience.

It is not a new thing that anyone can make wrong analysis and publish on the internet to catch attention, even when their prediction it doesn't matter just feel for people that will feel misleaded. How can the author of the article say that xrp will be like Bitcoin or the next Bitcoin, he is only over exaggerating XRP if you ask me, how come they never know that Bitcoin is decentralized and kind of untouchable while xrp is centralized? They didn't even compare it with the other valuable altcoins such as Sol or ETH and they ran too far to Bitcoin.

[BTCETFInvestor]

XRP has already moved up the market capitalization list to #20 ($0.2T) with ETH at #14 ($0.4T) - and BTC near the top at #6 ($2.3T).

Only GOLD (#1) and Mag 7's NVDA (#2), MSFT(#3), AAPL (#4) and AMZN (#5) have a larger market cap than #6 Bitcoin.

XRP is centralized and Bitcoin is decentralized. How does an apple compete with a watermelon?

These posts are just made by greedy idiots without any morals or knowledge of anything. XRP is a shitcoin and a scam.

[KingsDen]

Another dump idea from whoever wrote that shit in the OP. I feel that person is chilling XPR, because naive people might fall for it. Bitcoin has always been the leading cryptocurrency since creation till date and would continue to do so overtime. Bitcoin is decentralized and is beyond censorship. XPR is just another shitcoin without any difference from the rest. I have heard a lot of coins becoming the next bitcoin in the past, but none of them could survive it.

It's not only about Op, all over the internet, there's this buzz about xrp being the next BTC. I don't really know where the idea is coming from but it's making waves. The truth is that there's potential for xrp to develop into whatever, but it will definitely take time and patience. It's not something that will happen overnight.

Paid marketing and naive idiots that are buying up the scams. You can convince most of the population of anything if you use the right words and manipulation. XRP is a shitcoin. It always was and nothing will change that. No price or marketcap will change this fact.

That's why we should really know how to read between the lines. As there are fake news, deep fakes and AI technology today. So this is being weaponized by many entities, so it make sense to really verify everything before you go and believed that what you read is true.

So for us who have been in this market for so long, we already knew that what the author said is very wrong. There is no comparison whatsoever, XRP is very centralized and it has been labeled before as a banker's crypto. Nevertheless, it's good that we have this kind of alternative coins as they have their own use case that is totally different from Bitcoin.

Yeah, nobody with millions of dollar in their pocket are investing into an altcoin which supply got held by the team and can dump on our face literally anytime.
Just feels like a foolish move. There's reason why the most avid institutional crypto investors always stick with bitcoin, because its decentralized, nobody is dumping on our face.

XRP as the next bitcoin is just too foolish. It's nowhere at the same level of bitcoin in term of security, decentralization, liquidity, and ecosystem.

[gunhell16]

You know I'm laughing at the title op made, sorry op if I said it offensively, I'm just saying, because if Xrp is going to be next to bitcoin, maybe Ripple should beat Ethereum first,
and then ask that question again.

Then another thing, Can centralized defeat decentralized? This is the only question we know the real answer to, right? Everyone also knows that no government
controls Bitcoin while Xrp does, please correct me if I'm wrong.

[Orpichukwu]

It heavily depends on what aspect we look at, OP, because XRP is not the next BTC, they are two different things and are not going for the same goals.

XRP is just a token that is focused on payment processing, and it's already integrated and partnered with a lot of banks, so it's serving its purpose over their fully centralised system—nothing like Bitcoin. Maybe if there is something to compare it with, it should be other banking payment options, among which it is going to kick one out from the raise, and not something like XRP with Bitcoin.

[o48o]

I see ripple army is back on shilling it. Article that OP linked was dumb. It called XRP a stock and even in the article they stated that:

The Motley Fool Stock Advisor analyst team just identified what they believe are the 10 best stocks for investors to buy now… and XRP wasn’t one of them.

I am not even touching on the comments where people think that usdt might "take over" bitcoin. And people who are praising how "cheap" XRP is, i am assuming that you know it's more expensive then SOL or BNB now. And how is the fact that something is high on marketcap is a good thing now? That literally means it has less room to grow, because it can grow only so much.

Ripple is a company and ETH is crypto how the hell you can even compare two, may be you have no idea. let me brighten your day. XRP has already beaten ETH IN 2017-2018 bull run and taken number 2 spot and this bull run it will claim it back and it will come run on the neck on bitcoin too....

[Alpen]

XRP will never be the next Bitcoin for several reasons. First, the coin was pre-mined, and its burn rate is very low. Second, any XRP deposit can be frozen on the Ledger (XRPL). Third, the developers kept half of the coins for themselves. This allows them to manipulate the market, a fact that has been proven in court.
