SHA1 is insecure because the SHA1 algorithm is insecure, not because 160bit=
s isn't enough.
AFAIK there aren't any known weaknesses in RIPEMD160, but it also hasn't be=
en
as closely studied as more common hash algorithms. That said, Bitcoin uses
RIPEMD160(SHA256(msg)), which may make creating collisions harder if an att=
ack
is found than if it used RIPEMD160 alone.
