XRP vs STR

[itsmikeandjulie]

Is stellar competition for XRP? they seem to target similar users and STR has been following the spike seen in XRP.

I could be wrong but I see the two as having quite different target markets

Ripples = Banks/FI, generally large transaction sizes

Stellar = Assisting developing countries with cross boarder payments.

There is a lot in the news about Stellar's work with Nigeria etc.

That said I am pretty sure most here will not have a great deal of positives regarding Stellar due to its links with Jed and what he did to Ripple

My two cents. 

- Bitcoin is for value storage. It is like the digital gold. 

- Ripple is for global value transfer within and around banks. 

- Stellar has its niche by supporting customers lagging bank accessibility. 

There is enough cake for all of us. No biggy.
