I think BTC will still go as high as 10k, but that's all about it. Ripple, however, is in very plenty supply and might just become the mainstream and most accepted cryptocurrency for everyday use and business. I don't see xrp surpassing $10 soon. Hence, i think it will be efficient for micropayments.

LTC and ETH have their place in all of this. First mover advantage doesn't go away that easily.

On a side note, you might be interested in trading bitcoin futures for absolutely free without commission fees. Digitex is building something exciting that will do just that. I wrote about it here There is a link to sign up for the waitlist below the post. You'll be hooked, i know so.
