by looking at the title i thought it was more or less a click-bait article that you might have posted here. turns out, it is indeed a click-bait, but not an article. market caps have proven to be a poor indicator, and once again it proves itself to be the case again. by looking at the total coin supply, ripple has gone over bitcoin's market cap already. it's clearly visible in the screenshot posted by lauda.
