The comparison between Bitcoin and XRP often repeats the same arguments. Yet a recent post by BD (@DiepSanh) offered a clearer view. He highlighted comments from Vet (@VetX_0), a validator on the XRP Ledger, focusing on a simple contrast of how both assets entered the market. That contrast now shapes how each network grows. Different Distribution Models Create Different Outcomes Vet noted that Bitcoin enjoyed an early advantage because it had an “amazing distribution phase through mining.” The mining model enabled BTC to reach a wide base of early users. It rewarded those who supplied computing power at a time when the network needed it most. This model helped Bitcoin gain recognition during its first years. The situation shifted once distribution began to taper off. Vet stated that Bitcoin then faced “high miner costs, rising fees, no true finality, and constant sell pressure from miners.” The comment reflects a structural issue. Miners must sell BTC to cover their expenses. This creates steady selling pressure during every market cycle. It also forces the network to rely on higher fees as block rewards shrink. These factors reduce efficiency and place friction on growth. XRP took a different path. Vet said XRP was “harder to distribute at the start” because it did not use mining. That choice removed the long-term burden of ongoing production costs. The supply model stays fixed . Validators do not earn XRP through block creation. The ledger can run without the need for rising transaction fees. This structure makes the network easier to scale and maintain. It also reduces forced selling because there is no mining treasury.

Bitcoin must push fees higher to support miners. Rising fees can limit activity during peak periods. It also makes everyday payments less practical. This weakens long-term demand for BTC as a utility asset. XRP does not face those limits. The absence of mining gives the network a cost advantage. Firms can move value at speed without fear of fee spikes. This supports stronger use in payments and settlement . It adds a base layer of demand that does not rely on speculation. More stable utility can help XRP form a steady growth curve when market activity increases. Vet also noted that XRP “is actually the closest realization of Bitcoin’s original peer-to-peer payments vision.” Bitcoin moved further into the store-of-value role . XRP continued to focus on efficient transfer of value. This focus appeals to enterprises and financial platforms. It offers a clearer path for adoption that can support price strength during future cycles. Disclaimer : This content is meant to inform and should not be considered financial advice.
