Topic: will XRP overtake BTC in 10 MONTHS TIME ? (Read 527 times)

ouch

I am sure that this will never happen. Bitcoin is a leader in crypto and no altcoin can overtake it. Large investors prefer to buy bitcoin.

I am a bit afraid of some postings from older members here. They say, that XRP can't overtake BTC because of its high supply. I am asking myself: How can you get old in this forum without having read one of the easiest and most important basic: Supply is not important!
?
I can't get it...

If the marcetcap of XRP is higher than the marcetcap of BTC, then XRP overtook BTC. No matter how many coins are in supply.



And really nobody cares about, which coin was the first one. If you think, that BTC can't loose this race, because it is the holy first coin, then ask yourself, why you don't use this anymore, one of the holy first telephones:



May I ask the BTC fanboys, why you use a smartphone? This is new technology! You should use old technology! Only old technology! Old technology is better better BETTER!!!

Funny little kids...


And what about BTCs decentralization?

54% of the hash power is spread among 4 hands. 4 hands are ruling the whole network and are able to dictate whatever they want.

About 60% of the hashpower is located in china.

Would someone be so kind an explain to me, where the FUCKING DECENTRALIZATION of BTC is? Or is it impossible for you to find that out, because you can't contact google with your:



?

XRP is a smartphone compared to the wall telephone with a hand-cranked magneto generator called: BTC. Good looking. Yes. But on its bitter way to become discarded. Too slow, too expensive, too much energy consumption. A case for the history books.

I would admit that they have their moments, and even being push to be the number with the so called "Rippening". But it crashes because its just another pump-and-dump scheme.

I don't know that there will be coins that will overtake bitcoin now. So much at its stake and many big players like financial institutions who are on board so I doubt that they will just allow something like XRP or even ETH to take away the market from them.

Nope because the Ripple pump to 120B cap was totally directed and artificial, to collect the money of naive people.

The community would never accept something like Ripple to be N1. It's not even a crypto currency in the normal way.

never.. hahaa

No xrp will never take bitcoin. Bitcoin is the pioneer and the first decentralised cryptocurrency how on earth you compare bitcoin with very centralised crypto like xrp. Yes i know xrp have a lot of support from central bank but it does not mean xrp will overtake btc. Btc will always be number one and it is a gold of digital. How if ask you " will silver over take gold ? " of course you answed " no "

I will not compare ripple with bitcoin because the two have different purposes and infect on our society. Bitcoin is a decentralized cryptocurrencies why ripple is a centralize one. Bitcoin is the foundation of cryptocurrencies and the face of virtual currency. I think it will take many years before any coin to compete with bitcoin. Ripple cannot over take bitcoin in price no matter the type of partners there are getting.

Nope, Ripple should take care of Ethereum first before it will attempt to surpass Bitcoin.Overtaking Bitcoin is very an ambitious move in which Bitcoin already had build a strong relationship with the people in talking of trust. Before Bitcoin, Ripple should consider on how it could surpass the Ethereum.

It won't happen unless something really bad happens with BTC, maybe a huge price drop that would make investors loose their trust in BTC. And still XRP would have to overcome all the hate coming from the cryptocommunity. In other words, greed would have to overcome principles for people to accept XRP.

No XRP will not overtake BTC - there are too many coins in supply of XRP that doesn´t go well - XRP will have good gains but never overtake.

I do not think so, BTC is king in crypto currency. XRP is hype (centrelize, almost coin owner by Ripple)

The amount of loonies in this world is phenomenal.
On of the key aspects of cryptocurrencies is the person to person interaction doing away with dangerous unreliable and very expensive third parties.
Literally thousands of coins exist with very low fee and instant sent.
This loony increases the risk of third parties by adding one centralized company instead of eliminating them. Smart once sell WU stocks as it is a dead man walking.

modern crypto payment p - p
old system p - 3rd - p
this loonies system p - r - wu - p

WesternUnion started a pilot with XRP, this company moves around 80 billions dollars a year 

It will take a long way before XRP overtake the value of bitcoin. There is always a posibility. But for me XRP cannot even reach half the value of bitcoin. For now there is no crypto that can overtake the value of bitcoin.

I don't think XRP can overtake the value in just a short period of time. There is no way it will happen. Bitcoin is very high as of the moment. And i think even in a long time XRP cannot overtake bitcoin.

Yes there is huge different between ripple and xrp and many people dont realiaze it. I dont believe that xrp will overtake bitcoin place because bitcoin more usefull than xrp.

I am not of the opinion that one day one coin won't surpass BTC but the coin is not XRP, can you yourself buy XRP at a valuation higher than Bitcoin, XRP is one of the few project in the space with a working product I will give that to the team, but not to the extent of valuing it above BTC.

What is the dispute here about ?? about the price category Ripple will never catch up with Bitcoin, even after 39 months. Have you ever seen the difference?

Oh please tell me more. So Ripple did not take second place on the 29th of December 2017?

It aint taking over BTC even in 100 months let alone 10 months. XRP has most of its supply locked up and is inflating its price through reducing the supply of coins. Once these coins come in circulation XRP will drop too low in price.

Even with all those partnerships it is still a pretty ambitious thing for ripple to be able to overtake bitcoin in 10 months time.That wont be easy at all given the niche bitcoin has carved for itself already.Many people know about bitcoin but not ripple and 10 months is very short a time for ripple to overtake bitcoin

"XRP overtake BTC" Maybe this is too hard to happen because Ripple is not better than Bitcoin. Firstly, Ripple owned by private company so it is not decentralized. Secondly, Ripple was used like a payment protocol. While Bitcoin is decentralized, this make many investors believe plainness of Bitcoin more than Ripple.

I don't think so and I hope it will not happen, I don't have Ripple and even if it is profitable there is no way I will invest here because of it's decentralized feature a big turn around from cryptocurrency's centralized feature.

Not gonna happen. What makes Bitcoin great is the fact that it is decentralized. The decentralization is the value of big cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin and Ethereum. Ripple is a centralized platform and its value, on the other hand, comes from the hype of its partnership. Bitcoin will make the gap with XRP bigger as Bitcoin grows and becomes better.

In my opinion, ripple will never reach bitcoin, because the current Ripple price is still more than 100x times to reach bitcoin prices. Maybe if Ripple wants to pull out his own platform, it will get better and more popular. So many investors are joined, then Ripple prices will rise again. So the price of Ripple is difficult to rise for now. Especially in the last few days, all altcoin prices are down. But in the next few months, altcoin prices will return to normal and slowly rise to their peak prices. thank you

Not a chance in the world.

Theres no way a coin like XRP is taking over Bitcoin. What many people forget is that most of its supply is locked out from the circulating supply which creates a shortage of coins and increases it price. Once this supply comes into circulation its going to tumble the prices of XRP.

xrp will overtake btc market cap. everyone that denies are paid shillers.

Everey second post here praises the holy decentralization of BTC. A such impressive decentralization, that 2-3 chinese minerparks can rule the whole system and can set what's right or wrong. Wake up guys. 2018 is not 2012.

Neither in 10 months, nor even in 10 years, ripple this technology is directed quite another channel than bitcoin and can not be compared in terms of race, but in terms of advantages and disadvantages, yes.

Xrp good token .and future will be good but it not possible xrp overtake Bitcoin .you know ??Bitcoin is father of all altcoin.it never possible I think it

No way still there is no proper conclusion about ripple and xrp relation . More than that it’s just premined centralised coin . I think recent huge market manipulation one of the big reason xrp . Each good news pump and soon the owners start to dump coin . I don’t support ripple at all till now I dint buy even a single ripple . I won’t buy .

no it will not overtake BTC or any other top coin because it is centralized coin. Few big banks own majority of this coin. In my opinion ath for ripple will be around 3-5$, not a cent more. 0.77$ price this morning suggests that is is still chip to buy and those willing to make some profit can try with it. being a payment protocol is the only plus for xrp.

The general public should be educated about the dangers of centralized coins like this. They should know what they are letting themselves in for, when they use these coins. Ripple is not even a real Crypto currency.

When someone pre-mine the tokens and still own almost 60% of the initially issued tokens, then you should worry about this.

Ripple Labs is essentially earning 60% of all network fees on the network.

The founders of Ripple, Jed McCaleb, Chris Larsen and Arthur Britto, gave themselves 20billion  XRPs early on, with a pre-mine. McCaleb broke away and created Stellar and then he started selling his XRPs, cashing out $20,000 per week. 

Ripple is a Bank coin and we need to educate people about this.

Ripple can catch up with bitcoin in apptalization, as it is owned by world banks and large financial corporations, but it never compares with the popularity of bitcoin and its value. Ripple and bitcoin can not even be compared at all, because they are different in nature and functionality. Ripple is very important for the banking system, however this coin is completely centralized. At the same time, bitcoin is decentralized and universal.

Even if this were true, its not last December.

It is so difficult to predict. Ripple has been going down for too long. I think BTC is always a good investment because if it dies, many currencies on the market will follow. Just buy and hold both coins could be better than just one.

no that won't be happening because there are much more xrp then bitcoin. the supply is way to high for the people who want to buy ripple.

XPR technology is more and more cooperation with Banks! But a lot of people think that ribo is overvalued now!

The XRP is now the second oldest of the digital currency, and it is likely to be more than one to two years old.

I'm hilding some XRP but I doubt that it will overcome Bitcoin in 10 months. There's no doubt that it will be one of the major coins in the future but it cannot beat down the king especially in a short period of time. Let's just hope that they both be high priced coin in the future.

Both are different and should not be compared. The thing is that they have a different purpose XRP is centralized and Bitcoin is Decentralized if you know the difference between the two you should know the answer. Yes, many companies have invested/partnered on XRP this will boom the market price of it may pass bitcoin but remember they have different purpose on which how you can use them.

It cannot be a replacement since it is anything but decentralized. They will freeze your ripple for no apparent reason.

Ripple or XRP is different with bitcoin. Ripple is centralized and bitcoin decentralized. I think ripple will never overtake bitcoin on market cap, but ethereum will take bitcoin place I am believe.

i don't think it will be more than bitcoin . but it is a quality project. it will will explode ,the second time . it will overtake ETH . i think it's now a grossly undervalued price .It's priced at least 100 dollars in 2018 . now there's a lot of XRP good news  and  i think it's going to start rising soon. i bought some it in January . it has been falling this time . but i kept it . i believe it .

Xrp does have a very large relationship with the company's big companies in this world, but to rival the above bitcoin I think it is very difficult to happen

no.

and in what way would it overtake bitcoin? the only way would be market cap which means nothing anyway. they're not in competition. they're completely separate entities with different aims.

most bitcoiners would want less than nothing to do with it. it's five years older than bitcoin but has still achieved absolutely nothing in the real world. PR spin ain't good enough. it's time it shat or got off the pot.

This is a pipe dream. xrp could never overtake bitcoin it won't even come close at all. Things like these should only be thought of in fleeting moments of weakness and should never be said or written down

That's where you are wrong.
Ripple will never be a candidate to take over bitcoin.

Maybe it will, maybe it won't. The big question here is: does it matter?
People keep trying to make predictions on when the flippening will occur and what coin will be able to do it. Some people thought it would be bcash, specially when it got that major pump, then people start thinking it will be ethereum (and many still think that will happen during this year), and of course we still have ripple as a candidate.

First I don't think that will matter much. As you can see now, the "buying mania" seem to be over for now, and the only ones that are buying, are doing it based on fundamentals, and not fomo. So I doubt that anyone that does a proper research on crypto, will choose bcash or ripple over BTC. Ehtereum is different since it has value, but those other two coins don't.

Second, why talk about the "flippening" now, when we all see that BTC dominance is actually increasing again. Not saying it can't happen, but I doubt it.

Yes, you’re right. XRP is a cryptocurrency that is centralized and Bitcoin is decentralized. You must not compare the two cryptocurrenct that are so different. XRP’s price is depending on the creator and the company who declares XRP’s price but Bitcoin’s price is depending on the demand and supply of it.

Errr Ripple already has overtaken ETH last December...

Yes, XRP will probably overtake bitcoin but in market cap. Overtaking bitcoin in price means either that bitcoin goes down to lower than 100$ , either XRP goes up to bitcoin's actual price wich seems like an impossible thing.

I think XRP was not really created to overtake bitcoin. It was created just to become a coin that a lot of companies are going to use for their payments because with xrp you could make 1000 transactions per second while with bitcoin only 7. The fees are also lower and the confirmation is faster.

Many believe that XRP will overtake BTC, but despite all the partnerships you mentioned and maybe there are more others XRP still unable to overtake Bitcoin.

Also, XRP price decreased lately like all other cryptos, which is not a good sign.
Bitcoin can't be replaced by a currency backed and supported by banks.

Maybe for a spilt second, but I doubt it remains number one longer than that. If Ripple does take number one position and hold it for longer than couple seconds, I will liquidate all my holdings and I won't be involved in these markets anymore. I would bet all I got that that scenario won't happen ever  .

No chance, XRP is a centralized coin that is all hype. It has no real purpose, no banks are going to actually use this coin in the least. Bitcoin has a use factor, Ripple is a coin that is owned by a foundation and isn't going to do anything.

So no, this will never EVER happen. ETH or LTC have a better chance, and their chances are slim.

No dude, ETH can’t even overtake BTC. With the mentioned events, i don’t think ripple can even overtake ETH, not to say BTC.

Ripple is not even a cryptocurrency. 

xRapid is used together with XRP and 2 other programs is a software with no need in using Ripple cryptocurrency.

Both BTC and XRP serve totally different purposes and I think this is highly unlikely to happen. First of all Ripple is centralized with banks and companies don't even have to use XRP "token" to do their business on the platform. Devs of ripple own majority of coins etc. where as bitcoin is free for everybody to run a node and participate in creating blocks etc.

Thing with ripple is that many take it as it's price is low to bitcoin and they don't think in terms of market cap or do their own research but they look at the surface "banks use it!" and buy cuz its dirty cheap per one coin.

thanks you are right.

XRP is centralized cryptocurrency and shouldn't be compared with any decentralized cryptocurrency, furthermore companies/bank make partnership with XRP because they need their technology such as xCurrent, xRapid and xVia where it's cryptocurrency or the blockchain isn't really needed and those companies/bank rarely use it's cryptocurrency.
But i won't dent XRP could overtake BTC in marketcap if they actively promote their cryptocurrency to investor and their technology to companies/bank and even raising their maximum coin supply

They have a freeze feature coded in. What could the purpose of that possibly be?

Xrp is a centralized digital currency. It's PayPal v2.0. The only thing it will surpass anything in is worthlessness. It is the antithesis of cryptocurrency.

with the numbers of partnership ripple is partnering with banks all over the world is making me agree to the fact that XRP may over take BTC in marketcap. check the below giant partnership.
