@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.
You're right going through the thread I can't make something of it considering the topic I saw there is no reason to bring these two to comparison it's no longer news that altcoins are gradually failing away as we no longer hear of the so called mining that was taking over the Internet some time ago this is because people's eyes has been open to the reality on ground that altcoins is not worth it.All altcoins are centralized even the ones that claim they are decentralized like Ethereum.
What about Monero? Bitcoin is the umbrella that is covering all other shitcoins because Bitcoin is the most stable and most st reliable crypto currency that is existing today and even tomorrow so comparing the two to me is an insult to Bitcoin because there is no reason behind this Bitcoin and altcoins belongs to two different world
