Following the current trend of XRP, irrespective of SEC bombardments against her, XRP still holds it ground in crypto arena. Imagine XRP wining the suit against SEC then XRP dethroning Bitcoin in the nearest future will be inevitable. Just saying!!!
I doubt that this will happen in the near future but there is always that possibility.
Remember, what drives the value of bitcoin is the amount of people willing to pay for it. In addition, the price discrepancy between XRP and BTC is so significant that both internal and external factors must be present in order to dethrone BTC as the reigning cryptocurrency. In addition, ETH can also replace BTC depending on the circumstances.
