Anyone who compares Bitcoin to other shitcoins would only be showing me that they have absolutely zero knowledge about the crypto space, Bitcoin and its potentials. There's absolutely nothing that relates Bitcoin to shitcoins and it's important that everyone, especially the newbies come to this realisation. The long term potential, continuous adoption (without having any special team promoting it) and many more qualities sets Bitcoin apart from oher shitcoins. All these others are mostly driven by hype which isn't the case with Bitcoin, and it's very annoying when people thinks of them as the same.
Well, most of the noobs only join crypto to make money. They don't want to spend time doing their own research to determine what's best for them. Newbies just ride the hype with the hopes of striking it rich within the short term. When you see comments such as "Does Bitcoin have a CEO?" or "XRP is better than BTC", you'll see what I'm talking about.
Nonetheless, XRP will go as far as its supporters are willing to let it go. At the time of this writing, a significant number of banks and institutions made partnerships with Ripple, Inc. They might keep XRP alive for some time. Rumors are that the XRP Ledger will replace the existing SWIFT banking system. If it does happen, XRP might go all the way to the moon. But again, its parent company holds a large number of coins in circulation. So the odds are slim. At least we know, Bitcoin will outlive many coins due to its decentralized and censorship-resistant design.
