More important could Ripple become controlled by business or government?
Suppose that you already were given an answer, but still I would like to emphasise that ripple is a centralized coin since ~60% of xrp are controlled by the issuing company. Less than a half of emitted coins are owned by ordinary users. So ripple is a rather risky investment - you can wake up one day and see that all your XRPs were expropriated by an unknown hacker.

WELL, these are 2 completely different coins that even the technology is not similar, I think people will never replace bitcoin because of its decentralization !
Bitcoin already is a great success! Bitcoin will always fulfill a useful function for as long as it remains the king of proof of work based digital currency. But Ripple has good prospects in cooperation with banks and regulators, which means that the XRP token may be attractive for investments.
I see that Bitcoin is better than Ripple at this time. On the other hand, Bitcoin has a lot of popularity and supporters and users, because Bitcoin is the most potential and best coin that Crypto has today. But the price of Bitcoin according to many people is too expensive than Ripple. So there are some Bitcoin users selling their coins and moving using Ripple.
Could Ripple XRP replace bitcoin before it is widely accepted?
If ripple allows users to send money instantly and almost fee free, with a pretty and easy to use UI.
Plenty of money to burn on advertising and reputation building.
Business and Financial connections likely to get them accepted on large merchant sites.
Why would the average person have any interest in Bitcoin?

I'm not suggesting any of this is fact.
Just wanna hear the opinions of people that actually know stuff.
I run the risk of being here in a minority. But still I will say - now I prefer to work with XRP. Because it is a more promising and less risky option for investment. I believe that growth will be demonstrated in the near future, regardless of BTC prices. Although BTC is also considered a good choice for investment distribution.

The problem with Ripple is that it is not a decentralized coin, this is in many ways contrary to market ideas. But effective communication with many banks has already been established, there is the possibility of fast and secure transactions. But I prefer Bitcoin, because it remains a king of crypto and influences the courses of all currencies here.

Whatever coin you apply to bitcoin for sure they will still choose bitcoin rather than altcoins you do not really understand why bitcoin is the popular pick of people.
For me I prefer the most because he is the most beautiful hold of a long time since bitcoin is the longterm investment and can only leave the bitcoin a year or more and come back to the price of the most because most people know the most bitcoin so it's bought especially for investors but it's inevitable that the name bitcoin breaks out because of scammers so other people can say that bitcoin is a scam but the real person is also the scammers not the bitcoin.
Bitcoin is a digital currency, and Ripple is a distributed currency exchange system and is also a digital currency (XRP). At present, investors and media have talked a lot to Bitcoin, Ethereum, Litecoin, and now Ripple is the most paid currency. But to me, Bitcoin is still the coolest coin present.
I think bitcoin will still rule the world because all crypto exchanging to bitcoin and not to ripple, ethereum can change the game but its too weak for now.
I'll choose bitcoin from these two coins. Ripple is contrary to the principles of decentralization. We can make money on this coin, but I prefer bitcoin.
In my own understanding why many people more interested in bitcoin than in Ripple it is because ripple is just an altcoin. No doubt that Ripple is a good and potential coin but it can never replace bitcoin. Bitoin is the mother of all coins in this crypto currency market and this is very ideal for a long term investment.
To maintain stability and security, investing in Bitcoin will be much safer.
Ripple does offer interesting things, but for me it is far more risky.
Choosing Bitcoin is the right choice when conditions and situations are full of current price manipulations.

When I was a newbie in cryptocurrency market I chose Bitcoin as my day-trading as well as long-term investments because I know it is the best coin and most supported coin in the market today which has so much potential growth in the market today. Ripple is really a decent altcoin which as a good standing/stats next to Etherium you can go for long-term investment on it.
BTC is the king of the scripting market, the leading coin in the market for many years.
this night some people sold 40k BTC in mtgox and the price fell to 120. Like 8% in hours. This is not a steadiness standard. BTC is very volatile when people do this, suggesting its not very well distributed.
If various arguments about the centralization of Bitcoin bother you, then you're in luck, because it's a self-correcting process which has been improving since the genesis block.
What you are saying is: As largely used is a currency, more steady its value, I agree. XRP and BTC obey the same laws, except that in XRP case there is one known big fish - OpenCoin, its central bank. In BTC, USD, GBP cases there are big fishes. Soros could defeat the Bank of England once. All currencies have controllers, but they don't wanna screw their treasuries, they just want to make more money.
No for ripple for me
Ripple is only for ordinary or small forces while bitcoin is the parent and this will be a force for the development of other tokens.
Bitcoin community remains bitcoin making the number one coin for crypto.

Of course bitcoin. What are we talking about ?! I think that no one can beat beatocaine. Because the leader is the legend is already a crypto currency. I think that bitcoin should exist forever.
Many people want to earn, so they buy bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies. Fortunately, now more and more people are beginning to appreciate blockchain technology.
