Personally, I don't think will overpass ETH or BTC but only be used as a quick way to send money through banks, I remember that was the idea and for that the price needs to be stable was very strange to increase that fast in the last weeks.

The marketcap of the ripple is very high now, and since it is the altcoin bridge between cryptocurrency and banks, I think it's verry possible for its market cap tu remain up there at least in top 10. I will depend of how other coins evolve, and if there will be new coins with such success. Also the eth could take back its place soon, anyway

Well, Ripple has a good back-up (banksters) who are routing for it. It will definitely perform well this year, but not sure if price will surpass ETH and especially BTC just yet.

I don't think so. The reason why people are supporting Ripple atm is because it is pumped. And we all know that most of the XRP supplies are held by their own private company so who knows what will happen in the future? I have nothing against Ripple but I'm still being cautious as to what the next thing could happen. Tread carefully, the payment system is great, but the way everything pans out in a span of a week seemed to be suspicious. It might stay in #2 in terms of market capitalization, but I don't think it can hold.

XRP hit over $2 for the very first time gaining a $5 billion market advantage over 3rd placed Ethereum !

I think XRP will leave ETH behind.
Look at the next generation of altcoins and alike after Bitcoin.
Both Litecoin (5th largest market) and Ripple (2nd largest market at the time of writing) are the ones that have been around so long, I see it continuing.
There are billions of XRP in wallets out there and that does not have to be at a detriment at all. It is also an asset. I think 2018 will belong to Ripple. At this rate I see no reason why it will not get to the $10 mark within 60 days.

Briefly XRP had a market capital of over $2 billion more than Ethereum, they are swinging back and forth right now pushing each other in to #2 and #3 positions.
XRP has rocketed the last few days but can it last long enough to position itself as a long term #2 to Bitcoin?
That's not the case anymore. Ripple is already #3 and I believe it never will be #2, for there are other good coins like eth (already there), iota (I'm sure we'll see it there some time) and bch (not such a good coin, but it has quite a lot of admirers and sometimes advances up to #2 especially due to Koreans' love of it), which are probably better candidates for #2, since at least they adopt the main ideological points of cryptocurrencies.XRP has rocketed the last few days but can it last long enough to position itself as a long term #2 to Bitcoin?
XRP is doing great and perhaps even now is still a great time to buy it regardless to its position in marketcap list.

When I type this post, ETH has returned to rank 2 cryptocurrency
It's hard to stay in ETH position but XRP has a chance for that, in the short term I hope XRP can be stable at this price , to prove that the current price increase is not just a pump

Believe that this two will change on second form time to time. Both are good coins and both have gain in value.
Also think that is time to have besides bitcoin and ethereum so far in wallet and to be consider that adding XPR to the list.
Also think that ripple is not done just yet. Maybe next year will be ripple year.

Ripple is only surging because large corporations and banks are endorsing it. It is a very unique concept however, there are more important features that are missing. Private and anonymous transactions may not be endorsed by banks but they are also gaining traction (Monero, ZCash, Dash, ...etc.).
If Ripple was not endorsed by banks, and if it didn't get all the publicity it got, I believe it would've been at a smaller market cap. It is easy to get people over-hyped by advertisements.
Similarly, people thought that because bitcoin is being used in the dark web, then it must be private and anonymous. Unfortunately, many don't know that bitcoin transactions are actually traceable.
If people realized Ripple shortcomings, then it may never reach that height. However, since most people are ignorant about details, then there is always a chance.

This is the 2nd big potential coin. I think this coin will reach 10$ soon, so i think its time to buy more in dip price good to hold for this coin. I have also 300 ripple its to small to hold. But i still hold this i know big profit will come to me..have patient.
XRP has gain not so much value in the last few days, it just increases from few cents to $1.86, but it's a big number for this altcoin, increase over 35% in the last 24 hour. Look at the circulating supply; 38,739,144,847 XRP which makes the market cap can overtake second position from ethereum.
Since more exchanges listed xrp, it may get more value in the future and surpass eth marketcap. But, how long ripple can hold its position? The correction will come to every coin that has been pumped.

This is good in Ripple holders, becuase it will give big profit for everyone who have this coin. Big potential for ripple, im glad that i bought some ripple, i regret that when i sell my ripple in dip price. So sad.
last time Ripple was pumped they released a shitloads of new coins out of the blue. so i wouldn't be surprised if they did the same thing this time too, that is a lot of profit for the centralized company that is releasing the coins and that will effectively bump the XRP market cap to the moon and ETH will have to get pumped big time to be able to reach it which is going to be hard because of its high price and the bubble.
I was thinking that with XRP being so cheap it will probably leave ETH behind in the coming weeks or months

Last time I see this coins in coinmarketcap one of the losers but I see a big volume where I can see a big potential. So, one time I tell to my sell I will going to buy some xrp but as I can see now. My God! I don't buy even one, because I don't know how can I do this. I am too late and will going to become more lucky when my luckiest day comes. Better to have a great and potential coin next time. Congrats to those holders of xrp it is very good coins.

XRP has really surprised us by it's act of pumping through few days. The week has been really busy for those who held it most and must be enjoying the reward of holding for long term.
I think this currency stands more chance of getting pumped even further and get into position of #2. The Ethereum has always been good but many times I feel that the ether doesn't pump very hard unless and until it is challenged. So it would be better we focus on the xrp if thinking of inevstment.

The competition is really tough and founders of both coin must be looking at this question of their dominance. But on the other hand they also have to look after the project development and funding sources for it. If they go with wild decisions then it could happen that they might disturb the market severely. We don’t want that to happen and with that calculation it comes to the investors. Now it would be interesting to see that who gets more followers whether it is ethereum or ripple. I’m thinking that ripple is gonna skyrocket.

Ethereum was actually $850 couple of days ago. And ethereum is now at calm position. When the time for ethereum comes, ripple can't do nothing against ethereum. It's not gonna hard for ether to take ripple down in 2018.
I don't think ripple can maintain this in long run.
