During a recent <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4mxFE1ULS5U" rel="nofollow">episode</a> of the Mr. M podcast on YouTube, former Ripple executive and well-known XRP supporter Matt Hamilton claimed the digital asset is on its way to surpassing Bitcoin and becoming the biggest cryptocurrency in the market. 
During the podcast, Hamilton, joined by Bitcoin enthusiast Davinci Jeremie, discussed the future of the two cryptocurrencies with Hamilton arguing that XRP holds many advantages over Bitcoin. He believes the digital asset’s numerous advantages position it for long-term success. 
<h2 id="strong-xrp-s-advantages-over-bitcoin-strong">XRP’s Advantages Over Bitcoin</h2> 
Hamilton claimed that, unlike Bitcoin, XRP is more suitable for handling day-to-day transactions. XRP transactions only take a few seconds and the network can support a high throughput without slowing down or failing. This is crucial for scalability, as <a href="https://timestabloid.com/cardano-creator-throws-jibe-at-solana-blockchain-following-major-outage/">network outages</a> have hindered the growth of other prominent cryptocurrencies like Solana. 
Jeremie responded by highlighting some of the key strengths of Bitcoin. He highlighted its decentralized nature, stating that the token is not controlled by any single entity. He also highlighted its resistance to censorship. These features enhance security and trust, as no central authority can influence or alter the transactions or the currency. 
Although some doubt XRP’s decentralization, Ripple’s Chief Technology Officer (CTO) David Schwartz has consistently <a href="https://timestabloid.com/ripple-cto-david-schwartz-questioning-xrp-ledgers-decentralization-is-incredibly-stupid/">debunked these claims</a>, reaffirming the digital asset’s decentralized nature. 
Hamilton noted that while Bitcoin is highly valued and widely recognized as digital gold, many people buy and hold it as an investment, hoping its value will increase over time, rather than using it for regular transactions. XRP offers more than speculation, as it has the infrastructure to serve as currency. 
He also pointed to Bitcoin’s rising transaction fees as a bottleneck for adoption by regular people as currency. In addition to the gradually reducing mining rewards, Hamilton believes Bitcoin will “alienate smaller users.”

Jeremie, defending Bitcoin, noted that Bitcoin’s fixed supply and predetermined issuance schedule create a more stable monetary framework that is not subject to inflationary pressures caused by arbitrary money printing. 
He added that XRP’s ties with banks can lead to increased regulation, control, and potential censorship, contradicting the fundamental ideals of decentralization that many cryptocurrency advocates hold dear. 
Hamilton retorted that XRP can be used without needing banks and that the digital asset is designed to allow fast, cost-effective, and decentralized money transfers across borders. 
The consensus among prominent market participants is that XRP will be a major player in the coming years as it offers a more robust ecosystem. BitBoy, a popular crypto influencer, recently predicted that <a href="https://timestabloid.com/bitboy-projects-xrp-to-surpass-ethereum-with-16-5-to-22-price-target/">XRP will surpass Ethereum</a> to become the second-largest cryptocurrency, and based on Hamilton’s analysis, it could also surpass Bitcoin.
