I am not sure. But we can see later after Constantinople release.
Because, if Constantinople implemented the smart-contract feature (just like Ethereum)+PoS system, then Constantinople coin would be better than Ethereum. Many new projects will appear on the Constantinople platform.
Obviously, this is the chance for Ripple to seize the Ethereum position at 2nd spot.
But if not, Ripple will take a long time to seize Ethereum position.
*Just in my opinion...

No. ETH will get huge bump soon and there will be a big gap between those two. After the hardfork of ETH, people will be more interested in PoS and will buy more for staking thus ETH will get huge bump and strengthen its 2nd position.

Ethereum just regained its second spot after Ripple wrestled the second spot but the gap is to close, do you think we will have a battle royale for the two coins for the whole 2019 and who will remain the victor, or a new one will emerge to surpass this two coins?
I think Ethereum will stay on the second, their own, place and no battle will not starts again. January 04, 2019, 01:11:08 PM
It will be a close fight, I mean if Ripple pulled it off last year then I think that ETH won't back down this time knowing that they legitimately have a competitor that can actually take them off on that 2nd spot they have, I'm quite happy that ETH has retained the 2nd spot but for how long could it be? Its just a matter of momentum and consistency throughout the end, though I will still support Ethereum no matter what the outcome may be.

If the expected improvements in ethereum in mid-January will qualitatively improve this coin, then there will be no more battle with ripple. Ethereum after this should greatly increase in terms of capitalization compared to Ripple and will feel confident in its second place. Already, ethereum has outpaced ripple in terms of capitalization by more than one billion dollars. I think that the gap between them will only widen. January 04, 2019, 12:46:26 PM
Cryptocurrency market is unpredictable and at that I can't say that it a battle for supremacy between ethereuem and ripple for the second spot but only time shall tell what will happen in the market and we all hope that 2019 will be a great year for all the cryptocurrencies that have good potential.
January 04, 2019, 12:31:59 PM
I think eth and xrp are going to retain their 2nd and 3rd rank in 2019 also. Eth will strengthen its position due to volume and value increase that will be triggered by the upcoming massive upgrades.
Yes most probably the results will remain same as ETH over took XRP and now it will stabilize its position to retain its spot for a long time also the hard fork effect will be a big boost for ETH if it happens, somehow the story of crypto will be interesting for the next few months.
January 04, 2019, 11:10:28 AM
I think that Ethereum has regained its second position and is unlikely to let anyone pass ahead of itself!
January 04, 2019, 04:59:22 AM
I hope Ethereum will remain the second crypto currency for a long time, because in my opinion Ripple is not that coin that deserves to be on the second spot. EOS or Litecoin have deserved the right to be on top.
I agree with you, it's an eyesore to see Ripple in the second spot because it is not a decentralized coin, we have to support Ethereum to make sure it stays on top, the two are the real cryptocurrency if Ripple gets the second spot again it is a threat to Bitcoin again.

Ethereum has regained its spot as the world's second largest cryptocurrency by market capitalization after recent gains, many will be hoping this positive start to 2019 will continue for the rest of the year, don't have any altcoins can battle ethereum, I just hope stellar is stronger to take over ripple become top 3 cryptocurrency.

Its not really about about what coin is better eth or xrp. The battle lies within investors who are making decision on where to invest and when to start it. Also, to the developers of those altcoins that continuously making ways to increase their market.
January 03, 2019, 07:53:23 PM
ETH has always maintained the position for along time and XRP only took over for a short while, which means that the position rightfully belong to ETH and the other was just a transition.
If is there is another battle, ETH will still take it up. This coin has come to reign in 2019.

It is interesting to see what is going on in coinmarketcap as regards Ethereum and ripple. Ripple replaced Ethereum last year as second most capitalized cryptocurrency now ether has kicked ripple to third place.

I think of the struggle will be only the next couple of days, then the Ethereum will go into a very large otvyh, as well as minimize the lag from Bitcoin.

Of course ripple and ethereum will often change places in 2019. I can not imagine that it will not happen. Surely it will be a long time until a coin will secure the 2nd place for a long time. January 03, 2019, 01:41:22 PM
according to me eth will remain in second place for the entire 2019 without having to fear ripple, the only one that i think can undermine eth but not now but in a few years is eos
January 03, 2019, 01:00:16 PM
May be yes, these two strong projects are very advanced these days when compared to each other. I hope this battle will continue till the end of the year XRP is not far away to over take the 2nd place but the competition will be very Interesting for sure.

For me it's completely irreverent which coin is on 2nd and which on 3rd place.
Ethereum is a great projects with thousands of ICO project behind and Ripple is not even a real crypto currency.
If you are looking to support one of those, ETH is the only choice.

I don't think so, because the second position will always be occupied by ethereum because ethereum will move quickly and leave the XRP far behind, I think the real battle will be at a lower rank between XRP and BCH.
there will be intense competition between the two because later when the bitcoin pump then BCH will follow it and the XRP is threatened to go down to a lower rank

if ethereum manages to reach a price of $ 200, the ripple will lag behind. so it seems this is not a battle. in 2019 it was not a fight to take second place, but a battle for all altcoins to enter the top ten.

I do, but consider about ethereum will have reduced on its block reward and that will give a huge impact to the price of each ethereum. so far if you are seeing when so many people are betting on it. You must understand about ethereum is not yet reached its hardcap supply. January 03, 2019, 11:40:12 AM
I see that most people go for ethereum to stick with sdecond place.Do you guys see any place for ethereum being number one in 2019? In the bearish/ neutral market it seems that cryto on which is also a platform for other projects might behave better next year.
January 03, 2019, 11:25:36 AM
There are several reasons for Ethereum to sustain its position but Ripple too is working hard to be established as a inter bank token with a global reach. So, we'd need to wait to see how things turns. If we are going to have a bull this year, Ethereum would surely keep the lead.

Ethereum is the best coin after bitcoin,ripple is just a new bud.I don't think lot of people will regain trust of ripple after losing huge amount of market cap value when compared with bitcoin and ethereum.Maybe a new coin can replace ripple but ethereum will its place for longer period. January 03, 2019, 07:51:12 AM
there really is not battle going on! there are two altcoins like the rest of 2500+ altcoins that are getting pumped and dumped every now and then. when they get pumped they go up, and when the dump comes they come down.
now since the market is not in sync, sometime one gets a little more pump and replaces the other and sometimes the other way around.
traders don't care at all what the "rank" is, all they care about is the pump and the size of it so that they can make the most amount of money out of it.

I think that Ripple has no chance this year to become stronger than Ethereum. Ethereum has very big plans for 2019 from a financial point of view. You can invest in it at interest and get a fork. Also the team is scheduled for this year a lot of updates.
January 03, 2019, 07:17:12 AM
I've said hundred of times, if you bought XRP and are looking at the price constantly, instead of actual working plan progress, you invested blindly.
Research.
It doesn't matter if it's 2nd, 3rd, 1000th or even before 1st place xD
It needs to keep progressing, keep spreading the "network", increasing users, etc.
Along with regulation that will hit countries sooner or later, if they continue like so far, the plan is working.
At some point, it'll be logical for all their users to use XRP as well, not just their network, which in turn will increase demand (and most likely the price).
Been hodling for almost 2 years, wouldn't be surprised if I need to wait few more for my targets. (I invested a forgetable amount, so it's easy to hodl even for 20+ years).
If you're not ready to do that, you either haven't read about it enough and don't understand or you're too greedy for investing in general.
Most likely, both
That said, we should wait for regulation to hit most of the countries. Then we'll see a more clear crypto market picture, IMHO.

Here the question is that Ripple is not ahead of Ethereum, Ethereum itself is left in the bottom) of course there will be no battle for second place, just go up Ethereum, Ripple pretty well is grown up when everything is falling and I think everyone can be this year the opposite) January 03, 2019, 04:34:56 AM
As far 2019 is concern,ethereum will remain the king of altcoins,nothing like battle because xrp will not get back at that spot in a long while.
For me, there is a battle if the gap is not too wide and there was a time that Eth was dethroned although in a small period of time but Ripple will always a threat to Ethereum's spot for the simple reason their developers are working hard maybe harder than Ethereum developers.
