Edoardo Farina, CEO of Alpha Lions Academy and prominent XRP advocate, has sparked fresh debate after comparing the potential returns of XRP and Bitcoin. According to Farina, XRP holds far more upside for investors than Bitcoin, especially at current market prices.
Bitcoin just reached $111,000, making it the most significant increase ever and catching the attention of many crypto fans. However, if Bitcoin rose to $500,000 from where it is now, the profit would be only 355 percent, Farina points out. He noted, however, that if XRP went from $2.40 to $100, it would result in a 4,066 percent gain.
In a post on X, Farina encouraged crypto investors to look past the hype and examine assets that can grow more strongly. He recommended, “Click on the right choices,” pointing out that XRP and its kind are better prospects for users than Bitcoin.

According to Farina, the linked video says that Bitcoin has become out of reach for many small investors. Most people, he argued, do not possess the money to buy a complete Bitcoin and may not see significant financial benefits from it. He added that XRP is better suited than BTC for people interested in making substantial profits.
The sharp increase in XRP confirms that this trend is real, as its price has risen from $0.50 to $2.40 in just two years, marking a massive 490% gain. Farina found that the cost of Bitcoin increased by just ten percent over the same period.
Utility-Driven Tokens Gain Attention Amid Bitcoin’s Limitations
Farina claimed Bitcoin’s current rally is not supported by real demand. Instead, he pointed to market manipulation and low liquidity as the main drivers. He also raised concerns over Tether’s role in inflating Bitcoin prices and warned that most retail investors will not benefit from the rally.
He recommends investing in XRP, XLM, HBAR, and Algorand, as they are lesser known and have uses outside the cryptocurrency world. He said these projects provide an improved benefit-to-risk ratio for new or low-income investors.
Farina remembered when he sold his car for $16,000 to get Bitcoin and sold it again for $64,000. The 400% profit was impressive, but he believed his XRP investment earned much more because it was done at better values and at a better time.
He further mentioned that problems such as high transaction costs and the lack of scalability raise questions about whether Bitcoin can last a long time. He suggested that increased criticism by international institutions signals that Bitcoin is less attractive.
Farina’s bold prediction has put XRP in the spotlight as a serious contender for high returns. Since new investors find it hard to profit from Bitcoin, people might begin focusing on utility tokens that have more potential.
