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.
I run the risk of being here in a minority. But still I will say - now I prefer to work with XRP. Because it is a more promising and less risky option for investment. I believe that growth will be demonstrated in the near future, regardless of BTC prices. Although BTC is also considered a good choice for investment distribution.
