This is a question many new investors must ask as they wade into the heavy topics around crypto-currency. I analyze the differences that impact personal financial risk between Bitcoin, Ethereum, and XRP.

As hedge funds and other institutional investors enter crypto, it's a question that larger organizations will be asking as well.

Hope you enjoy the read, and please leave any feedback below.

Thanks, - Hodor

Thank you for one more source for a more detailed study of the crypto market. Also invested in Ripple

XRP & Ripple are the same things, lol. imagine Satoshi selling billions of Bitcoin, imagine him standing on the street and selling paper wallets, each Bitcoin for 20 cents, second lol. if you answer me honestly I will invest on your XRP & Ripple.
Why don't you buy my activity tokens? you could transfer them in less than 20 seconds with a low fee of 1 cent per transaction.

My pleasure!  I've been into crypto since 2013, and I've heard and seen all the arguments for and against XRP and Ripple.  I've noticed a few things and am now sharing those things...   ;)

Are you agreeing with me or disagreeing?   I *think* you're assuming that raw sarcasm somehow supplants logic and rational discussion.  You are wrong.  8)

Trust is a very interesting problem Crypto faces, especially with all of the Scam ICOs.

Can anyone tell me why Ripple? Ofcourse XRP is a good and interesting coin but in your article you've just pointed out some strong sides of it saying that it is cool, safe etc. without any kind of serious argumentation why it is the best  crypto and what should be the basis of its future growth. It is nothing more than just attempt to manipulate on the emotions and this article can be compared to garbage.
Sorry.

Can you give a reason why you trust Ripple?

This is not accurate.  My blog methodically discusses Bitcoin, Ethereum and XRP, along with the risks of each.  These points are all well-sourced and researched.  I then summarize my viewpoint after making my supporting points.  This is my contribution to the Socratic investigation of the topic.  If you have a counterpoint, then you should also source your viewpoints and arrive at a different conclusion.

Classifying my well-sourced blog entry as "garbage" is an oversimplification that is "just attempt to manipulate on the emotions" - the same thing you accused me of doing.

Please see my above response.   My conclusion is contained in the blog itself, not in this thread. 

Thanks,

There are a lot of projects I trust and a lot I dont trust. Guess on which side Ripple is. To give you a hint Bitconnect is on the same side as Ripple.

trust?
of course if Bitcoin,because no matter how good other projects are.
as long as Bitcoin dying,everyting will follow after into it,
Bitcoin is a symbol of cryptocurrency itself and peoples only know about digital currency and cryptocurrency in Bitcoin itself.
so,of course i will only believe it.
take a look at Litecoin,
a few years ago many people claimed that Litecoin was a silver while Bitcoin was a gold,
but what happened after a few years later ?
ETH take that position from Litecoin,how about Bitcoin ? nobody can replace it.

 :D

From a technology, risk/reward, and human capital perspective: Stellar > Ripple.  I'd be interested to hear a Ripple advocate argue the opposite.

Ripple looking not bad. It is quite stable currency which show evidently high results. I had a lot of Ripple coins some time ago. But of course the quite life is not for me.
Part of my efforts were exerted in the direction to some alternate new coins.

Ripple has a good underlying use case, so if you are trading it and caught long it is probably OK. It has traded in a range 15c-25c. I like it a lot at 15c and it still looks OK at 17c.

I think the digital currencies of hybrid encryption are more promising, such as DASH, XMR, XZC and zcash.Because they do use special algorithms to ensure that information on both sides of the transaction is not compromised, absolute security.As for waves, I don't think its developers have been working hard on this platform.
