Will XRP outpace Bitcoin over the long run?

There was an article where the Ripple CTO said that a critical driver of performance for XRP is based on the number of units in circulation and the price. To me, this does not make sense compared to Bitcoin.

I feel XRP could outperform Bitcoin over the long run once Ripple settles with the SEC in their lawsuit. This is based upon the interest in XRP with institutional interest in it as Ripple was founded by a consortium of banks. I could be wrong, but I'm just looking for an opinion on this.
