> While Bitcoin is often viewed as digital gold, Sagar Shah argues that $XRP is designed for payments, highlighting its fast settlement times and low transaction costs as key advantages for financial transactions. [Spoken audio]: Oftentimes what you'll hear about is that Bitcoin is like digital gold. It's great as a potential store of value. But the challenge is that for the same reason that I don't go out and let's say buy my toothbrush with a brick of gold, it's not great for payments. So Bitcoin is great for certain things like store value, but it's very computationally intensive. It's not very energy friendly. And it can take a long time to settle a transaction. While I think Bitcoin is great for that potential store of value. Not great for payments. Now this is where XRP comes in and we see it as being like the new utility for the financial stack. XRP settles transactions very quickly at roughly three to five seconds and very efficiently. Fractions of a penny no matter what the time of day is. And so as you're thinking about doing lots and lots of volume with transactions, you want that predictability and you want that speed. And that is where I think the XRP ledger shines.
