XRP is not a cryptocurrency and fuck knows how it managed to sneak in in the first place.
If there was a usurping BTC would still be the prime option for what it was designed to do. Bots and pumpers won't change that.
Oh it definitely isn't. But knowing that it managed to overtake Ethereum in the past, I since then don't underestimate the ignorance of most people in this space. XRP is pretty much pure PR/marketing. I mean, take a look at Twitter! Along with that, the ignorant reasoning of people: "XRP is cheap". XRP being extremely high in supply hence the lower price is definitely a contributing factor on why people buy XRP.
