How about eth and xrp? Somehow thesee two are primary contender for the btc. Well the marketcap seems to be not marching towards btc but when it comes to different aspect I think technically these two are way better than btc. I'm not saying they can overwhelm btc price that much but the tech itself are proven useful. Especially eth network.
This is seriously really strange thread, xrp better then btc? In what way? They can close xrp if they want, it has nothing on bitcoin. Bitcoin doesn't need permissions and it can't be shut down.
