The talks coming out of Consensus 2017 are quite exciting. There is a section that compares confirmation speed and reliability of the top Cryptos, and examples of the security of the infrastructure backing Bitcoin vs. Ripple between the 10-25 minute mark of the video below.

It basically demonstrates how much more predictable and fast Ripple is at confirming transactions compared to Bitcoin, Ethereum and NEM. Not to mention that its nodes are hosted in places like a secure Data Centre in Tokyo with state of the art security (vein scanners etc.) and zero down time since 2001(its becoming clear that Ripple only accept the highest quality) - compared to bitcoin being run out of a dirty Chinese warehouse with zero security and maximum potential for down time through faulty electricity/ wiring/ components.

There is also some talk about the XRP interledger which I haven't had time to go through, but within the first 10 minutes (6-9 minute mark) you can see how XRP can be applied to everyday use as an instantaneous payment method, especially in this digital world. They also seem to be actively encouraging the comparison of Ripple against the other Cryptos for real world cases because they know it wins hands down every time.
