I think you're missing the point of the OP's thread title question. I don't think he is asking if XRP is going to replace Bitcoin. I think he is asking the question in terms of XRP having great investment potential like Bitcoin has been...
You cannot compare Bitcoin
BTC with XRP or with any other altcoin. No altcoin can become the next Bitcoin even in decades. Even for the investments, the portfolio should consist of a majority of bitcoins, and a very small amount of money can be allocated for XRP. I know XRP has a big fan following and it is known as a "Bankers Coin" but even the bankers prefer to hold bitcoin.
