Prominent cryptocurrency enthusiast and YouTuber Kenny Nguyen has drawn attention to one of Bitcoin’s big flaws, showing why XRP is a superior digital asset and should be a household name. In a post on X, Nguyen shared his experience with Bitcoin’s transaction speed, highlighting that a transfer of 1 BTC took nearly five hours to complete. “Really, can someone explain to me how BTC is better than XRP?” he questioned. His criticism reflects a broader debate about Bitcoin’s scalability and efficiency. Despite being the first and most well-known cryptocurrency, Bitcoin has been criticized for slow transaction times and high fees. This has pushed investors toward altcoins like XRP. My close buddy & I did a test trial today. He sent me 1 BTC at 12:00 pm in Southern California and I just received it now at 4:49 pm. Really, can someone explain to me how BTC is better than XRP? — Kenny Nguyen (@mrnguyen007) February 12, 2025 The Advantages of XRP Over Bitcoin XRP has gained attention for its speed and cost-effectiveness. Unlike Bitcoin, which relies on a proof-of-work (PoW) mechanism that can be slow and energy-intensive, XRP operates on the XRP Ledger, which uses a consensus protocol. This allows transactions to settle in seconds, with significantly lower fees than Bitcoin. Michael Arrington of Arrington Capital highlighted the advantages of digital assets when his company sent $50 million in 2 seconds for $0.3. One community member echoed this sentiment, stating , “Less than 30 seconds transaction time and very low transaction fees compared to BTC.” We are on twitter, follow us to connect with us :- @TimesTabloid1 — TimesTabloid (@TimesTabloid1) July 15, 2023 Institutional Adoption and Bitcoin’s Challenges Nguyen also pointed out that international banks have largely rejected Bitcoin as a viable financial tool, writing , “This is the reason why International Banks said HELL NO TO BTC!” The traditional banking sector has been hesitant to adopt Bitcoin due to its volatility, scalability issues, and regulatory concerns. Additionally, some analysts argue that Bitcoin’s fixed supply model contributes to wealth hoarding and deflation. A commenter noted , “Its usefulness is that everyone agrees it has value. That is starting to fade in some key areas… Being a fixed asset means it can foster disproportionate wealth hoarding and deflation.” These concerns and many others have made XRP the preferred choice among institutions. XRP’s Potential to Surpass Bitcoin The discussion around XRP’s potential to overtake Bitcoin is not new. Ripple CEO Brad Garlinghouse has previously suggested that the digital asset could be the next Bitcoin , given its technological advantages and growing adoption. Some community members believe this shift is inevitable, with one stating , “BTC will never go away, but its place at the top is coming to an end soon.” Nguyen revealed that he recently sold his 60 BTC to buy XRP, showing his confidence in the asset’s long-term potential. Experts are already projecting that XRP will soon surpass Bitcoin . Disclaimer : This content is meant to inform and should not be considered financial advice.
