Ripple is a very good coin,
Many people may think of Ripple as the next bitcoin but in my personal experience I don't think Ripple can ever be the equivalent of bitcoin.
Because if you look at the total supply of two coins, you can get a lot of ideas.
Ripple's total supply is 100 Billion and bitcoin's total supply is 21 Million,
Also every year Ripple sells their reserved Ripple tokens to cover the costs of themselves and the team management.
So I don't think Ripple will ever be the equivalent of bitcoin.
Thanks.
