@OP What's the point of comparing Bitcoin to centralized shitcoins such as Ripple? Bitcoins is in its own category and shoulnd't even be even emntioned together with Ripple.
Bitcoin has been seen as the first coin everly created and for that has no comparison with shitcoin as I know Bitcoin is on its own.All altcoins are centralized even the ones that claim they are decentralized like Ethereum.
What about Monero? @Ambatman what is ethereum a decentralized coin? How and when was ethereum a decentralized coin if I may asked? Sincerely, decent coin are those coin that claims to be privacy coin but as far as I know ethereum is not a privacy coin.
