Could XRP (Ripple) Be the Next Bitcoin?
There is nothing as next Bitcoin! Never.
Bitcoin is unique and it is Bitcoin as it is. Other cryptocurrencies (alternate cryptocurrencies or altcoins) are what they actually are - altcoins and none of them is Bitcoin or a next Bitcoin.
There is another funny marketing trap from altcoins to call their projects as Bitcoin killer. You can see similarity between "A next Bitcoin" and "A Bitcoin killer" and hopefully you can see altcoins are not Bitcoin, and never be Bitcoin.
How can centralized projects be better ones than Bitcoin - a decentralized project?
It's impossible.
You must know how centralized Ripple is.
"Bitcoin killer" is even funnier, lol.
They don't have a target to do that, nor BTC has such a target - but people just love to clash coins together like toys..
