Ripple’s XRP is much more efficient than Bitcoin (BTC), community claims



Bitcoin has active nodes than the number of XRP active addresses



allegations of XRP being a shitcoin

The race for supremacy is the major characteristic known with holders of cryptocurrencies. Each cryptographic project has grand and confidential plans to upgrade in order to outshine its contemporaries in the space, and this in many occassions is being used to show off.

This issue brings us to a subject stimulated by a number of enthusiasts, presumably investors of two prominent digital assets, Ripple’s XRP and Bitcoin (BTC), comparing both in terms of nodes and addresses and sternly defending their choices.

Bitcoin (BTC) is the obvious leader in crypto market with excellent performance in terms of price over the past week; while Ripple’s XRP, the third largest cryptocurrency is not doing badly in the market either, although its investors are seriously anticipating for a Bull Run in price.

A crypto analyst, Kevin Rooke‏ sparked the subject on twitter after tweeting that Bitcoin (BTC)’s ctive nodes are more than XRP’s active addresses.

Bitcoin has more active *nodes* than XRP has active *addresses* Bitcoin active nodes: 9,564

XRP active addresses: 8,346 💀 — Kevin Rooke (@kerooke) May 5, 2019

In response to the above tweet, a software developer, Matt Hamilton‏ beckoned his little agreement with Rooke’s assertion but claimed that Ripple’s XRP is more efficient than Bitcoin (BTC), stressing that a single XRP address has the ability to serve a whole exchange.

Yup. XRP is much more efficient than BTC with addressing as it has destination tags to facilitate subaddressing. So a single XRP address can service an entire exchange. — Matt Hamilton (@HammerToe) May 5, 2019

Hamilton continued to support his sentiment by claiming that Bitcoin (BTC) needs to generate a unique address for each user while Ripple’s XRP can use just one address serves a single exchange since XRP has unique destination tags used by users.

Another user displayed his optimism by saying Ripple’s XRP will eventually beat other cryptocurrencies in terms of price, assuring that he will opt out of Cardano (ADA) and Stellar (XLM) for Ripple’s XRP, telling his co-investors to keep hope alive as better day of XRP is around the corner.

A presumed Bitcoin (BTC) investor replied by tagging XRP as a cryptocurrency with little or no value.

xrp shitcoin is just waist of hot air. After LN its irrelevant — Setas San (@SetasSan) May 6, 2019

Another Ripple’s XRP enthusiast exhibited his excitement to Rooke’s sentiment by claiming that XRP is 100 times better than Bitcoin (BTC).

In short, the conversation initiated by Kevin Rooke constituted a heated argument, where the investors of both Ripple’s XRP and Bitcoin (BTC) had face off and both groups were ready to defend the efficiency of their preferred digital asset.

The two, BTC and XRP) cryptocurrencies are topping the race while one is the largest. The mass acceptance of one is likely to impact the other, so there is no need for unnecessary supremacy tussle but rather be united to push for the much anticipated global adoption of decentralised currency.
