The question of whether XRP could surpass Bitcoin returned to the forefront after legal analyst Bill Morgan mentioned a 2013 text by journalist Felix Salmon describing Ripple as a solid alternative to early models of digital money. Morgan stated that the article became hard to find on the internet and that this situation raised doubts about how the history of the sector was preserved. XRP advocates argue that the text reflected a period when many experts believed that Ripple's technology was better suited for real economic use than Bitcoin.
