In my opinion Ripple is in a different dimension to Bitcoin since the latter is decentralised and the former is centralised. Given this and the reason for creating crypto in the first place one may conclude that XRP can't get close to BTC because people favour freedom, thus decentralisation.
For the reason of it being centralized and in the long run the price is subject to being controlled since it is a banker's coin with the team holding most part of the coin, is one of the reasons I do not even see much future in it, because I believe that even if the bankers even want a coin, they will likely be creating theirs instead than trusting on some team that is holding big chunk of it. This is more like actually asking people to choose between centralization and decentralization and in that case, slavery to freedom. That simply shows basically why ripple does not even stand a chance at all.
After the start of the crisis, such new Bitcoins are appearing every month, but the truth is that none of them could become even close to BTC, so let us stop creating hype about XRP. There is no chance.
I even find it a bit crazy that even if people want to be creating hype around a coin being the next bitcoin, ripple of all coins? Sometimes, I always just assume that it is either they have no clue what they are talking about or because of the current value and the fact that it is among the top 10 coins, they just assume things in their head. It is always obvious knowing that the way a lot of people think in this space, when they are looking at the quantity of their holding, I can see why they always tend to get the worst from their holding eventually.
