bitcoin is the true store of wealth. ripple is just the means to swap peoples gateway services value without needing to mess around arbitraging between bank accounts

Ripple VS Bitcoin?

Are you honestly making that comparison?
There is NOTHING to compare.

Btw what happened to the open source code of Ripple?

It is constantly evolving and actively being developed.

Server (Open source since over half a year): https://github.com/ripple/rippled
Client (Open source since nearly 1 1/2 years): https://github.com/ripple/ripple-client
Other useful bits and pieces (libraries, charting sites, gateway sample code...): https://github.com/ripple

True, Ripple is a TRADING platform, something Bitcoin is not 100% designed to be (which is fine, it doesn't have to be).

https://www.coinlend.org <-- automated lending at various exchanges.
https://www.bitfinex.com <-- Trade BTC for other currencies and vice versa.

I don't get the irrational hate people feel for Ripple. To me its more like a company than an alt coin. There are good companies and bad ones. It does not have to be all about world revolution and what not, if the technology serves a purpose ultimately it will be sucessful.

Did you seriously just create an alt account to post that?

In time, people will realize the possibilities of Ripple. Most people here can't make decisions for themselves so they swallow whatever crap someone else is feeding them. Classic example; half the people on this forum still think Ripple is closed source or don't understand the difference between Ripple and Ripples.

*Sigh*

Personally I prefer Bitcoin. Probably because I understand the Bitcoin system better than the trust system of Ripple.
Also there are more business accepting bitcoins. Sure, you can send using a ripple gateway, but that takes time, there's an additional fee and it makes you rely on that the gateways are working.
(I however like Ripple thanks to that massive giveaway they ran about a year ago, but that's because they gave me free money lol Cheesy)

Is it possible that Bitcoins are the store of wealth (gold) whereas Ripples or NXT will be the more commonly used everyday exchanged digital currency?  Just a thought.

Possible, but not likely, since if Ripple takes off, XRP (ripples) will become viable as a store of value too. What does seem likely is that Bitcoin will evolve to support some sort of rippling mechanism. Both Ripple and Bitcoin will also likely adopt innovations from Zerocoin/Zerocash and future alt-coins if they are successful.

Fortunately we can have both. It is not a zero-sum game: one person taking ripple seriously does not imply one fewer person taking bitcoin seriously.

XRP stripped off the fundamental technologies that makes bitcoin actually work. Controlling the value of a XRP is centralized and entirely in someone else hands, and so is the XRP themself.
Neither does it have the incentive to stay decentralized built into it the way bitcoin does.

I will continue to claim this for as long as people think they are comparable.

Then you will continue to show your ignorance.

Sure, they can coexist, and that wouldn't be a bad thing, since consumer choice is a good thing.

Depends on where you're coming from. If you're a bitcoin user, its main benefit is as a distributed fiat / crypto exchange system. In the future, given enough adoption, it can also function as a Bitpay + reverse Bitpay system.
