I am not a $BTC Maxi, despite having 95%+ of my crypto portfolio in BTC. But, I wonder: what exactly is $XRP utility? $ETH and $SOL have their ecosystems with use cases. $BTC has a digital gold narrative. What's the point of $XRP?

Other than aggressively marketing itself as a better $BTC, I see no use case, no real adoption. You can hate on Solana for being a shitcoin-powered glorified Access database, or on Ethereum for having high fees and limited scalability. But at least those blockchains have UTILITY of some sort. People actually USE THEM. Who is using $XRP ... and for what?

If the idea is to beat Bitcoin at its original objective (a digital mean of payment), it's also too little, too late. There are many other Cryptos which are better than $BTC already at that. $MONERO for example is far superior than Bitcoin Far better than Ripple could ever be, too - it is completely anonymous. But it still doesn't mean it will ever beat Bitcoin in market cap.

It seems a completely artificially pushed shitcoin that is waiting to be rug pulled by its founders.
