Topic: Ripple vs Bitcoin? Decentralize vs Centralize, Who win? - page 3. (Read 852 times)

Ripple is a good coin in terms of their capitalization but I think this coin is just meant to pump and dump because of its centralized system so investors think that investing with xrp is a lot more risk compare to bitcoin. Bitcoin is a great coin, we can compare other coins to bitcoin but of course no one can replace bitcoin. A decentralized market will win because this is what cryptocurrency is all about.

Agree. Bitcoin being a decentralized cryptocurrency is what has given it popularity and greater strength over the course of years. Since no one controls it, the original cryptocurrency has been considered by many as the people's money. On the other hand, Ripple is a centralized payment system (I cannot say that it is a cryptocurrency) and it is subject from manipulation by its own internal company. Not to mention, it could easily comply to the interests of governments whenever they see an unusual activity on the XRP ledger.

Therefore, Ripple would essentially be a digital bank, where no one would want to put their money into, since it can be shutdown or frozen at any time by the authorities. However, that is not the case with Bitcoin and most cryptocurrencies out there, as they're decentralized and grow stronger each day the more users join the network. In the end, Bitcoin will win among centralized systems like Ripple, Visa, and PayPal. Just my opinion

We know bitcoin has a lot of proof that they can reach their mission and we see that. But ripple started and we don't know what really happen to ripple. But for me bitcoin is better , yes ripple is also potential coin .


What ever happen to this two coin you need to buy ripple and bitcoin incase of that increase the price you will not make sad but you will be happy.

Maybe within Ripple, its a choice between ripple and stellar
Stellar wishes to hit bigger market not the bank, maybe more there

I choice BTC
because bitcoin is decentralize coin, while xrp is set by xrp owner(like a Bank)

No need to have further answer eversince bitcoins is the winner. No and not ripple will going to win in bitcoins and nobody wants or few people who didn't understand will go with ripple. I don't like that the technology of ripple is against the cryptocurrency on why it was created is for decentralization and not being centralized.

Bitcoin will win,
i believe a decentralize is better than centralize mate
because decentralize is fair

Completely agree with you, mate. Decentralized cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin and Ethereum are the future while centralized "cryptocurrencies" like Ripple will be left in the dust. Right now, Ripple is overhyped because of the partnerships it has made, but it's still just another centralized payment system like VISA or MasterCard. Most people wouldn't want to transact in a ledger which is highly manipulated and tracked by the underlying Ripple company, banks, and even governments. Since the XRP ledger provides them the ability to freeze a user's funds, nobody would be able to experience the level of freedom and immutability in it as with decentralized cryptos like BTC and ETH.

Therefore, I believe that Bitcoin, Ethereum and other decentralized cryptocurrencies will prevail over centralized payment systems for years to come. Of course, the bright side of centralized solutions is that it's regulatory compliant which further prevents criminal activity within their ledgers, but they're extremely vulnerable against manipulation from third parties. Decentralized cryptocurrencies will be much more secure than centralized "cryptocurrencies" like Ripple since anyone can join or leave the network at will, among other things. As such, Bitcoin will always be a winner in my eyes. Just my thoughts

We need centralisation in some field and decentralisation in some. But when it comes to currency we definately need a decentralized one because there is no difference between a dollar and any other centralised coins.

The ripple is very fast compared to Bitcoin and is capable of performing 1000 transactions per second, compared to Bitcoin 3 tx / sec, and can complete international transactions in 3 seconds, compared to the 10-minute block average confirmation time for Bitcoin.

In ripple transaction speed is superior to bitcoin and total suply ripple is also superior to bitcoin
ripple 100 billion XRP and bitcoin just 21 billion BTC.

Although the ripple is much younger than bitcoin, the ripple can prove that it is superior to bitcoin.

Ripple has good cooperation with banks, they keep in touch both in building their centralization, Bitcoin will not be affected or even lost to Ripple, Bitcoin and Ripple have different payment systems but these two coins will not affect each other.

Decentralization is going to be the future, no doubt.

Ripple is hugely hyped due to the fact that it's got a lot of partnerships in the real world. This may seem like something that is extremely promising in the short term, but in the long run I don't think that it'll benefit at all being the centralized system it is.

No way BTC has "lost the battle". It's simply due to the fact that Ripple has been hyped so much that its value has skyrocketed even compared to BTC. It's all speculative.

All the countries want to be central. I think we need to fight them. I hope the central structure fails.

yea, Ripple is just token. Bitcoin and Ripple are totally different things, no need to compare. And Ripple won't never be such valuable like Bitcoins. never. And i will sell all my Ripple when it reaches $1-$1.2. SO far only ETH will catch up BTC. Or the future's TON.

i opt for Bitcoin because of the huge community it has been able to create

Those XRP'ers will definitely without any doubt and bias side will choose their coin. They'll even say that it is going to be the next bitcoin because banks love it.

Come on let's be serious here people love more decentralized crypto and bitcoin can't be compared to any of it and even those other privacy / decentralized coin.

XRP has made great strides in improving and finding the right adjustments when it comes to controlling the volume of XRP in the market. Therefore, XRP is believed to be used and is perfectly healthy before market fluctuations. This can be safe with investors and users in the short term. But in the long run, I do not think it will be maintained. Meanwhile, bitcoin still exhibits power with decentralized supply with high volatility.

Ripple does not reflect the spirit of this market. Please play in your own playground, please. ETH and BTC will always be your favorites.

The main idea of cryptocurrency is decentralization ! What for do we need centralized cryptocurrencies, huh?
Ripple will be under 100% control of owners (it is very centralized) despite the fact that XRP has the #3 biggest volume (right after BTC and ETH).

Yes, decentralized cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin will win because nobody wants to transact in a centralized cryptocurrency like Ripple because it is being monitored by the government, banks, etc. Unlike bitcoin which keeps you in control of your account and you can watch your coin grow. Bitcoin has a stable management team with a stable system
