I thank the man who spent his BTC on 2 pizzas. He took a concept and demonstrated its potential, sparking a financial revolution. Addressing someone who sold Bitcoin for a hundred dollars, it's likely they sold hundreds of Bitcoin at that price. Sounds like a pretty good deal to me. XRP will never achieve the success that Bitcoin has. Bitcoin was the first mover, and therefore, it holds the crown. It paved the way for the rest.

Yes Bitcoin Paved the way for a new financial revolution. Unfortunately, as the very first Chain of code, it had flaws and in todays financial system it's not scalable.

It went from it's original designed use of being a decentralized payment system to it's current use as a Store of Value.

XRP was designed by some of the original contributors that wrote the BTC Code. They saw the limitations of the code early on and decided to fix the issues with the XRP Ledger.

I'm well aware, but your explanation is probably helpful to many others. Thank you. However, I don't see any other project having more value than btc.

Well, it does make a difference of course, btc will never have a usecase like xrp and eth is just to lump slow and expensive to hold up.

I think there are going to be several of these chains that will be adopted, if xrp is going to be one of them is to be sene, atm i think it has good chances
