Ripple out-ranked ETH for a short period of time way back.
But with the developements that taking place right now and the level of confidence coming from ETH supporters, the possibilities
is too small for Ripple to get that position again and be the 2nd to crypto around this industry, it needs a lots of money to support
the volume to pumped high the value of Ripple.
I also remember that time when XRP holders celebrated it that they have a thread about it but this is in terms of marketcap. There could be no project that will beat ETH if it meant the price of a token exceeds the price of ETH. The projects that claimed to be ETH killers seem to be just a claim. Even the BNB that we thought to be the biggest threat back 2017 had failed to do it.
