A bold claim from Charles Shrem (Blockchain Backer) is shaking up crypto Twitter: "XRP could dethrone Bitcoin."

📊 The Data Behind the Debate:

XRP surged 200% vs. BTC (Nov 2024–Jan 2025) but has since cooled.

BTC dominance remains strong, hitting new ATHs while XRP struggles to hold $2.

Market cap gap? Massive. XRP needs a 1,620% rally to match BTC’s $2.125T valuation.

💥 Why the Controversy?
Shrem argues Bitcoin maxis’ hostility toward XRP proves its threat—citing clashes over Trump’s 2025 "digital asset stockpile" proposal. Critics call it hopium, pointing to adoption hurdles.

🚀 Optimists Remember:

Analyst Dark Defender once predicted $36/XRP.

Ripple’s legal clarity and CBDC deals keep bulls hopeful.

👇 Your Turn: Can XRP flip BTC? Or is this pure speculation?
