XRP is one of the worst shitcoins that currently exist, you people need to stop opening threads like this.
And do others really think that if Bitcoin wasn't created, XRP would have been? What I mean is, XRP wouldn't have been created if Bitcoin hadn't been invented.
In a sense, what was created and the reason it was created—what was created can never surpass the reason for its creation.
XRP is not a cryptocurrency like Bitcoin and as such they would have created a version of it even without Bitcoin's existence. You can blame Coinmarketcap and Coingecko for listing it on their websites.
One of the online debates I don’t deem fit are the ones comparing Bitcoin with XRP because obviously it can’t never catch up with the top 5 coins to say the least. However, the fact that many still believe in it can’t be ignored and personally I won’t tag it a ‘shitcoin’ because it has its utility. Though i’m not really interested in it, i don’t think it’d be easy to scrap it off. For Coingecko and CMC to list it, that means some still find value in it and it got significant demand and trading volume.
