Is XRP the New Bitcoin?
XRP (CRYPTO: XRP) and Bitcoin (CRYPTO: BTC) remain two of the most-watched cryptocurrencies even after years of being in circulation, and they've earned that distinction by providing value to investors all the while. First, let's take a beat to understand the investment thesis for both coins to see if there's anything obvious that would imply the victory of one over the other in the long term. Bitcoin's investment thesis is that its supply growth will constantly slow as a result of the amount of effort required to mine it, which ratchets upward roughly every four years in a process called the halving.
