I'm not arguing that bitcoin can't be a settlement layer. I'm saying that. In this example, XRP does both and it does it better in the eyes of the average person, since, as I said in my other response, people care about the speed and cost when it comes to replacing fiat in the day to day.
XRP doesn't solve anything. It pushes the same fiat problem to crypto. I have said over and over that XRP isn't fixing anything, but that won't stop people using it because of those advantages.
In a cbdc world, XRP is the bankers dream.
Maybe projects like zano, which make BTC private and faster, are what end up being the solution.
