The CEO of XRP-based CoinField cryptocurrency exchange, Bob Ras, has played down on Bitcoin despite being the pioneer cryptocurrency assets.
He explained that the leading asset does not possess the ability to perform the eminent functions of XRP, ETH, and SOLO token.
Ras said this in a complimentary message on the growing altcoin trend in the market. The downslope in BTC’s dominance and the sudden take over from altcoins as they grow at a fast rate was a major point Ras highlighted.
At present, Bitcoin’s dominance has dropped to around 60% from the over 68% maintained at the start of the year and over 69% in May.
Ras, who is also the creator of Sologenic, a project created to serve as the bridge between the traditional financial market and crypto market, furthered that the fact that the government is already reckoning cryptocurrency as a solution, is a big win for the industry.
To achieve bigger growth and adoption in the crypto industry, upstanding altcoins and use-case are very much important, Ras added, stating that XRP, ETH, and SOLO tokens are no match for BTC as Bitcoin can never perform the operation they execute.
Ras said this as a reiteration to a previous statement he made, August 2019. Then, he said stability would be introduced into the market once altcoins are totally detached from Bitcoin, and rapid adoption and entrance of institutional investors will also follow suit.
With Bitcoin alone, the industry will never grow, BTC’s “dominance shouldn’t be more than 30%”. At that time, he also placed down on the use case of Bitcoin but compared XRP and ETH alone to the leading digital asset.
“BTC can’t do what XRP & ETH do.”
