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.

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)

i dont think ripple is even worth spending time or thought on
bitcoin is revolution

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*

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.

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

I just came back from San Francisco, I think its time I take ripple seriously...
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
True, Ripple is a TRADING platform, something Bitcoin is not 100% designed to be (which is fine, it doesn't have to be).
