It's booming! Bitcoins dominance is lessening so I don't think I would hold bitcoin long term. I still have a good amount of Bitcoin but I do treat it like any other crypto nower days. Especially when new users come in and see that other coins have quicker transactions. I'm waiting on a transaction for 20cent from mining bitcoin for 6 hours now lol. Time is money expecially now that some alts cost less than 20cents and are booming ! I keep selling half my bitcoin high and buying low. For USD and Euros. (Treating it like any other crypyo)
Here's the thing about ripple that I think appeals ... yes I know crypto is meant to be is meant to be decentralized and thats the way it shall be and ethereum might be favourable because of this but, we are creatures of comfort. It will take a long time for people to want to get rid of money entirely. We like money. We like paper money and we are comfortable with it. When it comes to quickest transaction fees person to person paper money is instant, instantaneous!! Wanna give your child some money? "There you go son, Zero transaction fees".
-Thats hand to hand transactons. When one pays for their shopping via their debit card its still very nearly just as quick!
So heres my understanding.. banks and paper money aren't going nowhere anytime soon! So it will be much better for a currency to make it that caters for them instead of goes against them.
Ripple might very easily take that number one spot!
