Could Ripple XRP replace bitcoin before it is widely accepted?
If ripple allows users to send money instantly and almost fee free, with a pretty and easy to use UI.
Plenty of money to burn on advertising and reputation building.
Business and Financial connections likely to get them accepted on large merchant sites.
Why would the average person have any interest in Bitcoin?
More important could Ripple become controlled by business or government?
I'm not suggesting any of this is fact.
Just wanna hear the opinions of people that actually know stuff.
The problem with Ripple is that it is not a decentralized coin, this is in many ways contrary to market ideas. But effective communication with many banks has already been established, there is the possibility of fast and secure transactions. But I prefer Bitcoin, because it remains a king of crypto and influences the courses of all currencies here.
