5 Reasons Why XRP Is Still A Better Bet Than Other Alts And Even Bitcoin (BTC)
Firstly, all the attention is on Bitcoin (BTC); the CBOE ETF; as well as the Bakkt company by the Intercontinental Exchange. Bitcoin has stolen the show and even increased its dominance in the markets to over 50%. Everyone is eyeing for BTC to make some major moves. Once it does so, alts usually follow suit and do massive gains that are greater than those of BTC.
Therefore, XRP is sure to gain more relative to the expected BTC performance in the markets. Hypothetically buying XRP at $0.35 and having it make it to $0.90, is a gain of 164%. BTC cannot do a similar gain in value in the same time span.
Secondly, the Ripple company has already convinced the global banks that its software solutions of xRapid, xVia, xCurrent and RippleNet are far more faster and efficient than traditional SWIFT. Brad Garlinghouse was quoted back in June as stating that dozens of banks will be using their products by 2019. This means that xRapid – that uses XRP – will be one of those solutions. Demand for XRP will go up as is expected be seen with Bittrex, Bitso and Coins.ph providing instant liquidity for XRP.
Thirdly, the XRP community is like no other. They support the coin and the Ripple company through thick and thin. The XRP community has even petitioned Binance, via Twitter, to add XRP as a base currency on the exchange. This means they are very much proactive. Which means they are buying and HODLing. XRP can only continue to increase in value with less of the digital asset in circulation.
Fourthly, rumor has it that Ripple wants to merge all three products of xVia, xRapid and xCurrent into one convenient solution for banks and remittance service providers. This means that once again, XRP will be the utility coin to facilitate transactions in all three Ripple products thus driving up demand for the digital asset.
Fifthly, the current CTO at Ripple, David Schwartz, has been put forth by many observant crypto-enthusiasts, as the perfect fit for being the real Satoshi Nakamoto.
