BitBoy predicts XRP’s future dominance, sparking debate over whether XLM outshines its rival in gains and potential.
BitBoy Weighs in on XRP vs. XLM Rivalry
Ben Armstrong, popularly known as BitBoy, stirred controversy by suggesting that investors may one day regret choosing Stellar (XLM) over Ripple’s XRP. Despite XLM’s superior price performance in recent weeks, BitBoy predicts XRP will emerge as the better long-term investment.
XLM Outpaces XRP in Gains
XLM’s price has surged by 485% in the past three weeks, outperforming XRP’s 229% growth in the same period. Stellar’s impressive rally has catapulted it from 30th to 13th place in market capitalization rankings, now valued at $16.5 billion. In comparison, the Ripple token’s current trading price of $1.50 marks a significant rise but lags behind XLM’s trajectory.
Community Divided on BitBoy’s Bold Call
BitBoy’s stance drew mixed reactions. Critics argue his suggestion is “bad advice,” noting XLM’s extraordinary growth this month. Some community members advocate holding both tokens, emphasizing diversification for better portfolio potential. Prominent crypto analyst Egrag even recommends leveraging XLM’s gains to reinvest in XRP during retracements.
XRP’s Promise and BitBoy’s Confidence
BitBoy remains steadfast, naming XRP and Ondo token as his top picks for the season. While XLM supporters tout its technology and partnerships, XRP enthusiasts highlight its broader adoption and legal clarity following Ripple’s legal battle with the SEC.
