With many altcoins looking to challenge Bitcoin's dominance, the debate of the efficacy of cryptocurrencies for payments often comes up.
Many altcoins are vying to unseat Bitcoin (BTC) from its lofty position, and the discussion of cryptocurrencies' payment efficiency frequently arises. Recently, during a conversation shared by crypto expert Levi (@LeviRietveld) on X, Ripple CEO Brad Garlinghouse highlighted some key issues with Bitcoin's functionality as a payment system.
Commenting on XRP's superiority when used for payments, Garlinghouse pointed out that Bitcoin transactions can often take up to an hour to confirm and may also incur high fees. This makes Bitcoin impractical for everyday transactions, an aspect where XRP shines.
XRP's Superiority Over Bitcoin
Bitcoin still has its uses. As Garlinghouse noted, Bitcoin has succeeded in many ways as an experiment but the crypto market has to evolve. The use of Bitcoin as an everyday currency is an important part of this evolution. For use cases involving fast, low-cost transactions, XRP demonstrates clear advantages over Bitcoin.
Ripple's partnerships with banks and remittance companies show XRP's capability as a bridge currency for cross-border transactions and regular payments. This aligns with Ripple's mission of improving global financial infrastructure and revolutionizing payments through faster, more efficient solutions.
