The current rise of Ripple is quite significant, at market cap Ethereum the long standing 2nd is way below Ripple now and its still going very strong.
I personally know many people who want to get into crypto are getting in via Ripple only.
So I know its a big IF but, if this trend keeps going, can it even surpass bitcoin?

Is bitcoin in danged or being dethroned as No. 1 at coin market cap?

I think by now that you have understand that marketcap is less significant right? And most of the time its fake and very misleading specially if you are a newbie:

Market cap = price x total coins in circulation.

So if newbies that are getting into crypto and getting in XRP will come face to face with a rude awakening. Once the pump on XRP is burst, they will be trap and one way to get out is to incurred losses on your end. And do you think that XRP has the capability to sustained that growth?

I wouldn't be bothered by the rising price of XRP, sooner or later it will crash and bitcoin will remain the no. 1 crypto.

Of course it can be surpassed by another currency in market cap value and why shouldn't it? Ripple is climbing right now and just taken over the No 2 spot from Ethereum. It is almost half the cap of Bitcoin now and with such a low single toke price it can easily overtake Bitcoin.

Altcoins tried several attempts to grow over Bitcoin in past, but the King is the King. I am linking a news that says Altcoins trying to keep lower fees to growing popularity and some other tricks like faster transactions, but don't worry, Bitcoin will remain the king.

Bitcoin will be dethroned, it will come someday. But i think its still hard to tell that Ripple will be the one who would do it. Ripple is at its ATH right now, iwere everyone is FOMOing. If the dust settle and it remain it top spot with succeeding months, yes it might become. Ripple has great potential, low transaction fees, faster transaction etc.

The next month bitcoin will tell you the answer, and there have been a number of times that altcoin has tried to challenge BTC's position, but each time the gap has ended with BTC and altcoin.
