BTC will keep rising ...japan and sbi vc both accepting ....BTC & XRP
when you look out at who sells btc vs xrp...apart from traders...
miners must sell some btc at intervals ( pay bills ), merchants need change btc to fiat ( pay staff, stock )
technical issues for btc slow confirmations as network grows or fork, both not gd until resolved, this takes time due to lack of leadership
XRP doesnt have miners....merchants dont use it ...yet, ... the holders that have invested now are more aware of long term crypto trends and are willing to hodl XRP for yrs, as they got it cheap ( under $1)
The technicals are solid, market leading, good dev team, solid use cases
overall XRP has alot of room for growth until it falls short of market demands ( like btc just now) maybe in next 10-20yrs
if held as reserve for banks, it becomes digital gold....and the Ripple system will be a data warehouse for all fiat and crypto transactions worldwide
btc is growing but could drop very quickly too as uncertainty grows over its technical side, when/if resolved..then it will shoot high again
Theres also a psychological thing where people ( newbies mainly) would rather have 100 xrp over 0.01 btc
