US presidential candidate Patrick Riley: "XRP will overtake BTC in terms of capitalization"
The US presidential candidate from the Republican Party suggested that when the XRP cryptocurrency trades at $11, the coin will overthrow bitcoin from the first place in the cryptocurrency rating.
Patrick Riley tweeted that Bitcoin has been dominating the market for too long. And the question is not whether this will happen, but when, the politician argues. The candidate invited subscribers to guess when this "seismic shift" would occur.
One of the commentators wrote: such events have never happened before, so it is very difficult to make even an approximate forecast - when this will happen and whether it will happen at all. Bitcoin proponents were quick to write that no altcoin would surpass Bitcoin in terms of market capitalization.
Riley reminded all those who disagreed that in 2017, XRP was able to bypass the ether. The politician made it clear that after the partial victory of Ripple in a lawsuit with the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), nothing prevents XRP from “moving bitcoin”.
Another commenter argued that even if XRP can rise to $11, BTC will not stand still and will make a huge jump. In response, Riley wrote that by that time, few people will follow bitcoin. During the discussion, some XRP supporters supported Riley, joking that when XRP overtakes BTC, skeptics will find comfort in Salvadoran President Nayib Bukele, who strongly supports the first cryptocurrency.
