If every bitcoin and ripple were mined (or whatever process ripple uses), At the current price, bitcoin would still be worth almost 3 billion more.
The "ripple process" is distributed. I remember reading somewhere that Ripple Labs really does want to distribute most of the coins in the next 3 years. Bitcoin only has about 7 million more to go over the next century. This crossing will happen sooner than people think.
For now, a loose, just for fun, estimate is: (Don't take this too seriously)
Jed locked up with about 7 billion XRP selling $10k of xrp weekly, soon to be $20k worth.
Arbritto locked up with 3 billion XRP.
Chris Larsen's 7 billion XRP being distributed to the 2 billion underbanked brand new internet users over the next three years.
The retail investors with about 8 billion XRP.
The institutional investors with about 5 billion XRP.
Ripple Labs currently having parties and paying volunteer employees with 21 billion XRP's instead of with equity like early Microsoft.
This leaves Ripple Labs with 48.5 Billion XRP's to sit and think about the most productive, consistent, and safest way to bring liquidity and utilty to the network in their karl marx board room.
As crazy as this sounds, but with 40 billion XRP'S on the open market at $0.10 cents and bitcoin stuck in a 200s range, the stage is set for bitcoin to go up on good ripple news but be passed by at the same time on the overrated statistic of market cap.
