Better Crypto Buy: Bitcoin vs. XRP
XRP’s value has soared, and Bitcoin’s price continues ticking higher. However, only one of these cryptos is likely to have long-term staying power.
There are thousands of cryptocurrencies available to investors to buy, but two that have seen consistent price increases recently are Bitcoin (BTC 2.00%) and XRP (Ripple) (XRP 4.30%), which are up 106% and 495% during the past year, respectively (as of Aug. 6.)
Those gains aren’t easily ignored, but if you could buy only one of these two cryptocurrencies, which is the better long-term investment? Here are a few key details about Bitcoin and XPP, as well as some drawbacks, to help you make your decision.
