Controversial take:

Even though shitcoins like XRP don't fix the monetary problem, they are far cheaper and faster to use for transacting, which I believe are two of the key reasons it has remained a highly praised crypto with significant market cap and relevance in the eyes of the public.

I think it is pure cope that people will defend the current state of Bitcoin while ignoring the fact that it is severely lagging behind for cheap and fast payments, and those are fundamental to having an efficient system to replace fiat.
