Ripple CTO David Schwartz has weighed in on the ongoing discussion on X about Bitcoin (BTC), Ethereum (ETH) and the XRP Ledger (XRPL), highlighting the technical advantages of XRPL’s transaction model over Bitcoin. Schwartz responded to an X user who compared the XRP Ledger, Bitcoin and Ethereum transaction mechanisms, saying: “I think it’s pretty clear that the technical advantages of XRPL’s transaction model give it an advantage over Bitcoin.

Here’s another in the series: The SOL/BTC ratio is on an almost identical path to the ETH/BTC ratio. Below plots the price of both ETH (green) and SOL (purple) in terms of BTC (their…
