XRP never next Bitcoin. But XRP is one of the best coins. Something good can be expected with XRP. Almost all the coins have gone well with investors but XRP has not pumped much. I think dec 2020 can do a good pump.
XRP cannot be even next ETH so forget about Bitcoin. Infact if XRP also crosses 1-2$ price that would be a huge thing for the holders of this coins as those have being in losses as being holding for many years now. Unless this coin has a huge demand or gets again very active in banking fraternity that could bring some demand might not have that price increase.
XRP is just an ordinary altcoin, for me there is nothing special about Ripple,
indeed some experts predict that RIpple in the future could reach $ 50, because banks in Europe are collaborating with Ripple,
this is indeed good news but if demand loses to the total supply it is useless , it looks like XRP price is still downtrend
