At this rate, I think XRP is more recommended for you since it has more liquidity and usability in terms of payment also its developers are strong enough to win every bad accusations against them which lead to their coin surviving until now and it's one of the top currently.
Therefore, if you want to invest in the long term, you can always choose XRP because they have high chance of survivability and have some major influence in the crypto market.
Very different thoughts from different people, which is why doing your own research is always recommended. While majority were advising Op to avoid xrp due to it's process of launch and centralized nature. Suggesting that xrp could be obviously manipulated by the creators by adding fckn more coins.
In the other hand, you are advising Op to go for xrp because it has some use case and it will last long in the market since there's active team behind it. Besides dodge is a meme coin without a use case apart from trading and speculation.
If I were you, I would choose a better option as there are many altcoins to invest in, if actually you don't want bitcoin.
