Topic: XRP competing places with ETH? - page 24. (Read 23403 times)

For short-term trading it's different, but from a long-term perspective we definitely need to be looking at the specifics of each project, what real-world solution it offers, what its development history and roadmap are like etc etc - these are the things that matter, so much more than whether it happens to be #1 altcoin in market cap at any given time.

I would say ETH and XRP both have huge potential, and can have a tremendous real-world impact. Both look cheap at the moment, but of course you want to know whether or not prices will fall further - which no-one can say for sure. For me the market does seem to have absolutely no support at the moment, so further losses can't be ruled out at all.

I am buying small sums each month, but in January i am not sure if i will invest, may be i will better buy in February or March.

I can see a boxing match again between XRP and ETH.
They are less than a billion gap again or less than 200 million to be exact.
I wonder who will gain the top 2 seed this month. i hope EthereUM can make it.

Ethereum since dropping alot in price have been having a hard time getting back up and also with the market not helping things at all. Ripple on the other hand has been showing a stiff competition, even after dipping hard too. But the supply and the price has been making it stay at the top. It's good to see cryptos in a top notch battle for position.

Now the position of XRP is second and ETH is third in the market. Now the market situation is not good. The price is getting low. I think this is the perfect time to buy many altcoins. I think also that it will be the exact time to invest when the market start moving. I think after a long time you will earn enough profit.

if you closely look at the chart in coinmarketcap.com you will notice that the prices are not constant and the market capitalization is fluctuating, hence, the competition in second and third places between the two coins and also the position of the second place has always been on ethereum but just a few weeks ago the ripple coin started displacing the ethereum.

Competition in the market is good it leads to better service , I think fork has already played its news and eth will fall now , and ripple is now a bullish trend and it is not surprising that the capitalization is growing )

I don't think you should compare them ,one is payment oriented and eth is platform oriented,so you can decide yourself where to go and don't think just by investing ,you will see profit in few week as currently market is manipulated.but I should say go with eth bcz it is backed by a big community and majority of project are based on it and ripple is sort of centralized crypto and there are big holders who can manipulate it big times.

xrp and etherum competition does not stop us from investing in other altcoins, taking chances in a red market situation is the best thing than staying as an audience, you will lose the beautiful moment to buy

From all indications, it is even more clearer now that Ripple is in a big competition with Ethereum on who remain in the number 2 position on coinmarketcap, but let's see how it will go.

in my opinion, with competition like this, this is a very good thing, and also as proof that crypto is now active again, if it is only stable at that number, investors will also be reluctant to enter the market

Let's not forget XRP price went beyond $3 earlier last year and attracted a lot of people's interest who thought price of it would go even higher by September 2018. But since then until this week XRP has been a pain in arse for those who bought it at the peak. I don't call it a investment opportunity for any cryptocurrency enthusiastic because,

1. XRP is not decentralized and it is in no way a cryptocurrency for me as it is totally pre-mined which comes from a technological farm whose main purpose is to provide their service to banks.
2. Ripple is facilitating cross-border remittances and other payments for banksters alike. So the control of XRP is being handled by a couple of people/organisation.
3. Ripple team holds 60 billion of the 100 billion Of total XRP. There was a report in last year that Ripple team sells average 300 million XRP per month from their account since mid 2016 which makes it even less of a greater opportunity for cryptocurrency investors. This sounds more like a centralized s*** trying to benefit a certain group of people. And many people will join in the occasional hype, only to lose money!
4. Come on mate! Yes, we are interested in cryptocurrency because of money. But there are also some greater purposes like trying to free us from those banksters, being in transaction system which is decentralized and cuts out the middle man. But the acceptance of XRP is absolutely against all the aspect of Bitcoin.

It has been a long time that ETH has been ranked No. 2 in the ranking of the coinmarketcap. XRP re-occupies this position, I believe that due to many positive information about Ripple, RippleNet payment network recently has 200 customers. But maybe it is only now, I think ETH can return to that position when making new announcements about its project.

Yes. We should buy on every dips, because we don't know what is the bottom. No one can predict it.  Only thing we can do now is buy on dips and sell on high or hold for a long.

I was also surprised that XRP already took out the second place from ethereum so fast but I am pretty sure that this incoming hardfork will boost the ethereum price which will also be the reason to give back the crown to ethereum as king of all altcoins. Investing is all about the risk so if you are always like that, you will never learn. Besides, you can alwaus invest to different types of altcoins and dont put your money in one basket.

True, positions and rankings are not enough to base on where you will put your investments, the market ain't good and everyone knows that, but if I were asked to invest I would put my investments on Ethereum since I purely trust ETH when it comes to my investments and for Ripple, I had trust issues with investing in XRP before but it was as smooth as butter when it comes to making transactions same with Ethereum but ETH has gotten me ever since and up until now it has not let me down even if XRP reclaims the 2nd spot.

Why to wait till March you can plan to buy now itself as crypto market is once again going down, Is it time to buy or sell is has been a complicated situation now. I really don't understand why the prices are dropping so badly.

It is not like ripple recovered that position by going up in price, what happened was ethereum lost that position because there was a crazy decrease in the price in the span of 3 hours, this is making people doubtful about keep holding their ethereum and started a major sell off, personally I think this is an attempt to try to manipulate the markets because it is clear there are people interested in getting ethereum before the hard fork.

It such a sudden change of trend, it was doing well in the first hours of the day and turned downwards after it. XRP is back to struggling to get up, the holders still feel good because their all time competitor is crawling under the bus, Stellar is $0.11 while XRP is $0.35. Prices are back to 2017. If you are still holding, congratulate yourself for surviving this storm.

The one Ethereum classic vision is a fake one. Don't fall after it guys. You will likely to lose your eth. It has been proven in scam accusation. Their website has been suspended too.
