guys

whats do you think and why ?

i mean in the next 2-5 years
whats your word ?

For me, bitcoin has best long term potential.

Bitcoin would be the main coin for a vote,
this virtual currency bitcoin have allot of features
when it comes to a vote against ripple, I heard info
about a new system called lightning network it will
be processing bitcoin payments without fees.

I choose ripple for the future if I have $ 100000 then I will not hesitate to invest my money into ripple because ripple will continue to increase without our own conscious and in the next 5 years the price of ripple like Etherium is now

Bitcoin, ripple is just a small hype which will fly over as soon as there will be one big crash.

If you want to invest for long term go with bitcoin because it has more potential than the most alt coins in the future. But if you want to go short term investment then try ripple maybe when the time cones ripple's price may reach to 5$ or above.

If 2017 people focus on investing Bitcoin, by 2018 the trend will change in a different direction, now Bitcoin rates are standing still and the Altcoin is constantly increasing rapidly. In my view, it should invest in copper ripple because it is very potential, the exchange rate has increased by more than 30% in just 24 hours, and it is important that this coin is backed by Google. This increases the safety of investing in this coin. You should consider investing in the ripple because the exchange rate is expected to exceed $ 10 in the next month.

I'd choose Bitcoin because it was the first CryptoCurrency and because it's used to buy pretty much anything in the crypto world.
But boy, Ripple has much lower fees.

Actually, I can go for ripple just for the reason that you stated because it will be cheaper to acquire loads of ripple coins with just some fractions of bitcoin and in the long run, profits would start accruing rather than just tying one's huge capital. Some times is better to buy cheap coins and wait for the future especially when one is gunning for a long time.  ;D

For long term, no one can beat bitcoin. It's the king and origin of all cryptocurrencies so there's no way for ripple to contest with it. The most close war is between ripple and ethereum, they have both close market cap and has replaced each others places. But for bitcoin, for sure majority of the answer here will choose go for bitcoin when it comes to long term investment.

Bitcoin will always be the option for long term holdings, because first and foremost it is the mother of all cryptocurrency that continue to rise and topped all the coins in the market. Except its high volatility I can say Bitcoin is a stable investment for long term. Ripple on the other hand is a good coin to invest too in a long term, cheaper to buy, less volatile and almost stable, but what separates it with Bitcoin is, Bitcoin can increase up to 100% in less than a month. If I have a huge capital, I will hold both Bitcoin and Ripple because this is two of those good coins in the market and I just dont settle into 1 or 2 or 3 coins only.

I think that no one knows for sure. I see shortcomings both there and there. Bitcoin has problems with a high commission, since the network is currently overloaded, but this problem may be solved in the future. Ripple - the problem is that the issue of coins is not limited. Therefore, it is not clear what will happen, time will tell! >:(

Depends what you want out of them
Bitcoin to invest  and Ripple to use as a currency

I think Bitcoin will continue to go up in price in the long run and I think Ripple will be controlled by the banks to keep its price as low as possible so that it can be used as an online currency

Ripple lately did make a surprise but I definitely chose Bitcoin from Ripple why? because Bitcoin's future is better than Ripple

Why not split 50% - 50% for both, both are very good, if you have to choose, I choose btc because the value of the alt is dependent on the price of btc.

While I still expect the Ripple hype train to continue on, I'm still long on Bitcoin.

why would anybody want to use ripple, its owned by the banks premined , and is not even on a blockchain , like bitcoin is , its totaly centralized. do you really still want to be fooled by the bankers ?

I think we are all still being fooled by bankers because we all buy Bitcoin then sell it for fiat,   If people couldent get real money from cryptocurrencys they would become worthless because at the moment Bitcoin is almost impoosible to use as a currency like it was intended for because of its volitlity, its very high price and the transaction fees.

I consider bitcoin as the master of all cryptocurrencies so I will go with this one. I believe bitcoin will survive till next generation and will become more expensive. So bitcoin is always the best choice.. for me.

I'd still go with BTC. Though ripple is doing great right now, I think BTC will still be the long term top crypto. Still you can also make invest in ripple since it's doing great right now and  gaining stability also it has advantage in terms of consumer friendly transaction fees.

Thats a very good point.
At $3 i think ripple is already being overpriced compared to bitcoin.
I'm not surprised to see next btc rally which will bleed ripple and other alts to death

BTC, Ripple is hype nowadays and it wont be so high in long term, my predictions is that it will bearly touch 5$ and then will start a pullback and will stay in top 10.

Despite the recent price highs, I'm not a fan of XRP. If I had to pick I'd go with BTC, but there are many other alts out there that will provide a better return.

I will go for Bitcoin. Ripple remains to be an altcoin and altcoins are alternate cryptocurrencies for a reason. They are alternate to Bitcoin. I would choose the one true top of all cryptocurrencies, and that is Bitcoin. The Ripple price pump is really a good thing as I am a supporter of Ripple itself. But if you compare it with Bitcoin, my support will definitely go to Bitcoin. The rise of Ripple looks temporary to me. Although I hope it will not fall down as hard.

I prefer BTC compared to Ripple .. because Bitcoin is more guarantee than ALT .. and Price or graph Bitcoin more stable .. But Ripple is feared PUMP and DUMP ..

I think ripple is making its way to top right now. Actually it has a more consumer friendly transaction fee compared to BTC. Well to maximize the rise of ripple rightnow , i think its a good idea to invest in it but i don't think it will overcome BTC just yet.

if you want to invest your money you can go with bitcoin 75% and ripple 25% of your money cause these two coin has a great potential and will develop 
their technology and become the great currency. but if you want to buy some ripple wait until it got correction and buy on that time

Ripple may be profitable, but it's against the crypto philosophy in terms of being centralized and including the bankers. so I'm on the bitcoin side.

It is pretty hard to choose from bitcoin and ripple because bitcoin is more safer to invest in but the profit is smaller while with ripple you can make a huge profit in a few years but there is a possibility to also lose it. I would invest in both of them, you decide the percentage.

Bitcoin had definitely proven that it is the best cryptocurrency and we can see that it stays on the market for almost 10 years now and the price is increasing everyday. But the price is already pretty big and right now it is almost impossible for bitcoin to increase 10 times more while for ripple this is actually very possible to happen in next months.

Ripple had a really good performance since it was released and the price increased over 1000x ,only in first days of 2018 it doubled. I think the price could go to 100$ or more in a few years so the profit would be huge. But ripple price can anytime go down because it is on the market only from 2017. Of course it doesnt mean that Bitcoin cant go down, because anytime absolutely every coin can fall even if it is 100 years old.

Ripple is good but I always support btc. I think bitcoin price will be increase up to $20000 again in January.

Undoubtedly, BTC, BTC is the support of the whole cryptocurrency market, and if the BTC falls, it will be a devastating news for the whole cryptocurrency market.

For long term purposes I will surely go for bitcoin but of course I know how to diversify my portfolio so yeah, I do hold some XRP because I believe in every cryptocurrency specially those who in rank base on their market cap. XRP is quiet good for me and it makes money for me.

thats not even a question))

Bitcoin for censorship resistance and decentrialization of power, basically everything this movement is about.

Ripple for a centralized easy to move currency thats probably good for arbitrage and not much else.

Are you sure about this?   I get the fealing ripple is highly divisible and thus the price shouldn't matter.  Surely you arent suggesting Ripple Labs wants to keep the price down, are you?

I do not know what the ripple is, I think the bitcoin will be purple from the ripples Sorry what do you think

bitcoin or ripple?  No contest

BITCOIN


Next up

Ethereum.  Those smart Contracts are Sexy

that's right, bitcoin has more good potential for the next few years compared to ripple because people know that bitcoin is king.

I think bitcoin has the most potential to appreciate after a long time. It have stayed in the cryptocurrency industry for a long time and have sustain the demand of the market and I think it will remain the same that way.

In terms of market value, there's no way Ripple could beat Bitcoin in that category. However, XRP is currently performing well in the market, we can see that the non-circulating supply is 61,253,949,033 which means that there is a holding going on, one of the reason its value continue to rise up. If it goes much further, it might surprise us the way RaiBlocks did and I'm starting to think if converting my Bitcoins into Ripple will be the right thing to do, since Bitcoin's value is currently stable at the moment.

     For me,still bitcoin because for me bitcoin has a strong potential to grow more for long period of term. It is the currency with greater value in the online market and i dont think that therw is other coin that can replaced bitcoin even a ripple.

Ripple would be adopted by the market. It is good in real trade.

I still choose bitcoin for it has proven its worth for many years and was a very potential coin.Though it also have its flaws,it was already trusted by many and as time goes by increasing community and investors supported it and surely it will grow more.

I vote for bitcoin ,Bitcoin is basic crytpo and has become popular worldwide , more investment is on bitcoin only now. bitcoin always promised growth rate , in the past it was gone down and again returned back to record level ,so it shows bitcoin first cryto currency which is in growth currently. ripple not sure it may rising now but may go down soon also.

For me bitcoin has the long term potential due to the fact that bitcoin is the mother of cryptocurrencies and has survived the market for a very long time despite the fact that some of bitcoin futures or technology are old and slow compares to that of the alt coins bitcoin still sustain it value and has a steady price rise. But ripple is just new in the market and with the fact that it has new technologies and futures with high speed couple with ripple rapid growth in the market it still dont have the ability to compete with bitcoin ripple is just like a grand son to bitcoin.

I am surprised to see an altcoin like Ripple now disputing the preferences of speculators, since being one of the "oldest" altcoins and after years of being relegated to a very secondary place, it has suddenly dawned as the second place in the market displacing the powerful ethereum and snatching a good portion of market dominance at bitcoin. Personally I think this is just a pump and dump, as speculators did a few weeks ago with Litecoin, so I still prefer bitcoin by far.

bitcoin is still the top choice for traders in the choice of a coin for trading or long-term investment. but you can sell a bit of bitcoin to buy ripple and coin ripple trading for a little profit.

My first choice would have to be Bitcoin because of its consistency in still being the most powerful of the coins. My second choice would not be Ripple because it does not have a very impactful existance at this moment. I would go with Ethereum, due to its current climb.

For me bitcoin because bitcoin increases it's value time to time who knows someday or after 5 years  bitcoin value worth a million pesos or dollar

I vote bitcoin even though bitcoin transaction fees is very huge and made me avoid using bitcoin for a while but I believe potential of bicoin.
if choose ripple or want to buy ripple I think is too late.

Both are good options of investments and each one has a specific purpose. Bitcoin is the king, but there are other cryptocurrencies that can surf its waves

For me bitcoin is the best because its price is stable and is surely will rise up in the future. Also bitcoin is very popular now in the industry many invested on it and use it in their online purchases. Bitcoin is the best investment because simply it has huge profit and can make us rich when holding for a long time.

This might be the easiest question I have encountered for this year 2018 as of now. And answering is like as instant as the blink of my eye. No matter what year we’re talking, 2 or 3 years from now or 10 to 20 years in the future. Ripple will always be the same and bitcoin will always be the icon of cryptocurrency and that is more than possibility but a reality.

Bitcoin or ripple, undoubtedly i support Bitcoin than ripple.  Bitcoin survive a long time period and it is very popular and familiar virtual currency which is acceptable many countries but ripple price recently increase and being popular.

I have both coins but if I were to choose one I will definitely choose Bitcoin.

You should have Ripple when it was only around $.20 cents. Although you can argue  it as well with Bitcoin that we should able to get it when it was less than a dollar,  but I think Bitcoin still has a very large room for growth even with it's current price.

For me I will sell all my Ripple once it reached $5 because after that I think the price growth is limited, Of course I could be wrong.  

For me i definitely choose bitcoin as well. Bitcoin is the king of all the cryptocurrency and it will be stay as what it is for how many years that pass by. In fact, nothing's can stop the bitcoin to be rise. It will keel on rising again and again. It may be dump but it will be pump again.

I think still bitcoin is the king but ripple is also a great currency as stats show bitcoin have grown about 1200 percent in 2017 and the same period ripple have grown about 35,000 percent.  8) :o

Ripley is a centralized crypto currency. It is controlled by bankers. We can not trust them in this matter.

They are totally different in many aspects but bitcoin is no longer a good payment method. Above all ripple is a company, much different than bitcoin.

Indeed, bitcoin is the most secure and high familiar currency in world of crypto while the followers of bitcoin is very large in number as compare to ripple. Mostly people in the world only follow bitcoin due to their trust and security and also the price of bitcoin is very high then ripple. So big investor will never go to ripple.

this is funny  question, because riple is not so strong coin like bitcoin

for me bitcoin is better than xrp.

It's still going to be Bitcoin, a sudden rising xrp and big company backup can't guarantee that XRP can become big in the future, BTC is different, BTC has been created for a long time and got so many support from a lot of people, and Bitcoin has been through so many obstacles and challenges, and yet still dominating the market

You are right.
can not compare ripple with bitcoin.
because almost all crypto users i sure choose bitcoin.
with the increase of this final ripple does not mean it can rival bitcoin until 2 or 3 years will come.
I think that will never happen.

bitcoin is master  :)

bitcoin of course because of the popularity and the first virtual cryptocurrency but the ripple has potential there is a chance that it will go up the price up to $1000 maybe in next 5 years who knows.

Of course i choose bitcoin why?
1.Bitcoin- is mother of all cryptocurrency
2.Bitcoin- is more profitable than other coins
3.Bitcoin-is strong coins and no one can replace..
I think bitcoin will last more than 2 to 5 years...

I always prefer bitcoin over all other cryptocurrencies but ripple is also good option for long term investment. For now i would recommend ripple because it will go higher and give you enough profit.

I like all the coin is bitcoin that ripple because bitcoin is a decentralized that no one is holding and no one can manipulate the price and bitcoin is unstopable

I think bitcoin has a better potential in the future. I do not see any other altcoin better than bitcoin.

Maybe it might happen someday but I am not so sure about ripple at this moment. Actually no one knows what would happen to ripple, even though it's price quite increasing this week some people still believes that it was just for a moment. We all know that it was controlled by those people behind it so I don't trust ripple so much. So I still choose Bitcoin over ripple!

My initial response is "Why the hell not both?!"

IF you have the money for it, why not? What do you have to lose?

My more direct answer for the absolute long haul is BTC. Since it is the core blockchain, and can be improved upon. It will always be there.

Bitcoin or ripple !? in outline, both have the same formula and work. although there is little difference between Bitcoin and Ripple.

I think, ripple could be an alternative choice, because Bitcoin technology only supports Bitcoin delivery among users. for example: if you want to exchange Bitcoin into your country's local currency, then you should look for exchanger or other Bitcoin users who want to redeem your Bitcoin into local currency.
but, if you use Ripple, you do not need to bother looking for a place to sell your digital currency because Ripple technology facilitates XRP exchange with various currencies in the world, including Bitcoin.

I personally believe that Bitcoin is the best and it is a king of the entire crypto world. It will go up in the future and i do not see any other coins compete with Bitcoins.

BTC is for everyone but XRP is for a company

I choose ripple for the future if I have $ 10000 then I will not hesitate to invest my money into ripple because ripple will continue to increase without our own conscious and in the next 4 years the price of ripple like Etherium is now

So many newbies posting bitcoin is the master. Myself being a newbie i will say XRP is the true cryptocurrency of the future.
What is the basis of this opinion you might ask? At least 25 mins exp in XRP lol.
All i can say is, bitcoin is painful to use right now and Ripple is cheap and quick. Yeah baby !

it can not be denied that the ripple is much better for the price because its price is getting higher and is already more than $ 3 and will increase again. see the many enthusiasts of the ripple that a bright future for the ripple

Hi there lovebtclss! I know lots of people are getting their attention at Ripple as its price soars more than bitcoin in this last few days. However, if you will compare those coins, bitcoin will still the king and ripple will just ended up like a little brother of bitcoin. In terms of price, I think ripple couldn’t surpass the price of the bitcoin. Even today at different exchange, bitcoin is still the number one in terms of price, volume and market capitalization. Those traders is just enjoying the sky rocketing price of ripple, but for me Bitcoin is still the best of them all.  ;)

just think it's just a ripple it's ever increased so it's still not so much bitcoin because bitcoin just renders all the altcoins and others prefer it to altcoins the ripple just turn it up because it's increased its price but maybe it will not increase and lower its price, but the bitcoin is only stable in price and it does not change because one day increases the bitcoin price.

Ripple is a small hype, you need to do more research more buddy, also another coin you should invest in is TRX, very cheap now, another coin that has a good dev and a nice community.

Ripple has the momentum. It looks like it might manage to pass btc cap. If that happens then surely it would double again? I'd also expect btc to loose half its value within a short time. I mean, who wants a virtual currency that can't be used.

I hope this happens, the Chinese miners deserve to loose everything for not supporting a block increase. Short term thinking in their part which could well lead to the downfall of btc.

i am going with btc because btc stable btw ripple price now a days increasing . so its a clear indication to day or tomorrow ripple  price correction happen .

ripple for short term investment and bitcoin for long term

Investing in alt coin is much better due to the fact you can convert back into btc.  I see why traders are making more btc then miners and people who buy btc directly.  you newbie do not know anything.

I agree. Ripple is better for short term investments because the price increase it can gain, whether it be significant or not, would still not equal to the price gain that bitcoin would have over that period of time. Like many replies have said, bitcoin is the king of all cryptocurrencies; it commands the best price value, marketability and potential amongst all cryptocurrencies available, so for investment whether long or short term, it would still be the better and smarter choice.

Rippel coin is increasing like all  alts coins . But keep in mind that Bitcoin is the birthplace of all Alts coin. So it would be absurd to compare Bitcoin and Ripple coins.

If it were controlled by bankers and by a bank and it would still be better than this.
It is owned entirely by a private company and it has avoided all kinds of regulations in the past.

Basically you're investing in a product of a private company that offers absolutely no protection of your investment.
A centralized coin where if something goes wrong you lose everything and unlike normal coins a community hardfork won't be able to be put in place and save the coin.

Even Disney dollars are better than this.

Ripple has surprised me I must say. Not that long ago it was stuck at $0.20 & now its trading over $3. I would never have envisioned that in such a short space of time considering the high circulating supply. So I guess at this point it must be taken seriously, but I still don't foresee it passing Bitcoins market cap.

There is no doubt that I will choose bitcoin. In the medium and long term, bitcoin is the best investment. Ripple just went crazy this month. This will not last. In a long time, ripple is not a popular investment. I think a gateway service is not enough to support such a high price.

For longterm or short term? For longterm btc of course, for daily trading ripple.

Bitcoin will always be there so accumulating it for the long term is always good, however I would recommend to diversify, I have over the past year only focused on bitcoin, but now I feel one should buy ripple and other alts to diversify one's portfolio, cause I see a huge demand for alts and as one can see people are moving away from bitcoin, so it's a safe bet. However be careful which alt you choose at it can be very risky

Bitcoin, especially for long term investment. Ripple is great and it's going high, but it's already went up x15 during the last two months, while BTC fallen down.

Want or not, Bitcoin will always come first!
Do not forget that Bitcoin is the father of the crypto currency!
Buy as much bitcoin as possible!)

I agree here. But I fear the fact new tech is coming along, Bitcoin will remain the pillars of crypto, but we need a coin with better fees and better transactions speed.

bitcoin is better then ripple  because the value of the bitcoin may be high and cannot be affordable easily but if you buy the bitcoin it would change your lifestyle

Ripple is good but Bitcoin is a face of whole crypto currency market and its supremacy cannot be challenged by anyone because it already gains peoples faith and every crypto investors 1st choice.

Now it's better to invest in ripple. But with the introduction of LN, bitcoin can grow dramatically

I'd suggest investing 60% into Bitcoin 40% into Ripple.

both are good crypto.
in the next 2-3 year ripple have enough room for a price increase unlike for the btc seem its already in the peak which the price increase will be minimal.

If you need public opinion on choosing between banks and bitcoin then you are in wrong forum.
I would suggest you to buy bitcoins, investing in ripple at this moment is not so good idea in my opinion, it looks like pump continues but don't listen to me, I am only sharing my thoughts.

I think for the long term it remains the best bitcoin but now the ripple price is better and is on the rise, so there is nothing wrong for trading or short term investment in ripple

Well, Bitcoin is more scarce and has a much higher value and has a better potential to replace gold as a store of vallue. Ripple on the other had, just like IOTA or any other "low fees, fast transactions" coin with greater supply have more chances in becoming the day-to-day transaction instrument.

It is not possible to predict what will happen exactly however. Bitcoin is slowly adapting the technologies from others and developing some on it's own but it will still remain scarce (considering the world market needs), and Ripple is troublesome. The whole idea behind crypto was to replace/avoid the centralisation that we have nowdays and Ripple is centralised and arguably controled by banking sector which means the situation would remain same as it is today only with one more/better tool for bankers/creditors.

Ripples are now impressing us due to its surprising price hike recently and we can say that it is a good coin for investing. But even how outstanding Ripples are, this still not a valid reason to set aside Bitcoins.

In the end, I still choose btc becauase it is timeless and has a very strong foundation that you can rely on. It's true that it encounters unexpected dips sometimes but it surely recovers unlike some alts who have lesser chances of recovery.

I agree, it seems ripple making noise this 2018, I think this coin having high improvement this year. That's why I was looking forward to the possibility happen on this coming days.

I also want to have a high investment in this coin because there's a possibility that this year it was increase like sky rocket and reach the moon.

Man you guys are too focoused on these two coins, the new train is at TRX, invest now before its a dollers, trust me and donate to me after you got this tip

If your premise is 2-5 years, which is I think a long term investment,  I would choose bitcoin, not only because it's safer, but because it has the chance to give you higher return. Ripple, although, it's increasing is just in its starting up stages, where its value is not pretty big, therefore, it would be better for a short term invest because it still has a long way to go and a lot of things to experience, unlike bitcoin, which is somewhat a little more established in the cryptocurrency market.

My vote for both of them.In my view, Bitcoin is the King and it will remain the King. But I also like Ripple, Because it has a great potential and it has surpassed eth already in coinmarketcap. So, Ripple has a good future.

I'm new to buying crypto, but did buy some XRP and some bitcoin. Depending on how both develop, I may sell XRP to get some more BTC as BTC seems like more solid investment.

Bitcoin is a secure, censorship resistant store of wealth. Brightest minds in the field is working on the scaling problem.
Ripple is an interbank payment protocol that does not need a token to work.

One thing I don't like at Ripple is that, very small amount of people own a lot of ripple coins, what will happen if they dump their coins? I think that is possible to happen and I won't keep all I have in Ripple for sure, trading it in front of computer yes but keeping for months no. Read and make your own conclusion. this is only my opinion, may be I'm wrong.

Truly Ripple have a huge possibilities that it will go that way. Even though bitcoin has been a profitable coin since from the start  but as what is goes today and looking it's trend. It could be more possible that Ripple will make some difference and surpas bitcoin in terms of profit for long term investment.

Wanna share my personal opinion regarding this topic. For me, Bitcoin's still the better choice against Ripple. Please don't get me wrong. It's not that because I'm into Bitcoin, nor against Ripple. It's just that Bitcoin's already a foundation when it comes to the crypto world. Bitcoin's value may go down a few notches, but it will definitely rise up again! S for me, I can rely on Bitcoin rather than Ripple. I hope you get my point, thanks!

I will stick to BTC whatever happens. I am not a fan of XRP despite the fact that it has a huge potential going up and that's amazing. We never know until when is the hype of XRP.

My answer has been "none." I think that in a few years time we could witness the rise of a coin with so much better intrinsec technical features that it will take the lead. Perhaps something with hashgraph technology, who knows...

My vote is also for something new. You know, same thing happened when I was looking for my future better half. At some point you consider all "options" that you have and then you realise that you probably haven't met her yet. So, it will probably be something completely new and take us by surprise. If you think about it more deeply - all those big ones out there have at least some technological problems. Yes, they can be solved, but is it easier to fix something or to build from scratch? So maybe a new coin will come with a completely new team, or it will be some experienced crypto developers trying something new.

BTC is the king. Not Ripple or anything will take its throne.

Ripple is company which has now some uberwealthy shareholders ( big premine: https://news.bitcoin.com/is-the-centralized-ripple-database-with-the-biggest-pre-mine-really-a-bitcoin-competitor/)
This abomination is being pumped by some bank money to create an ANTI bitcoin. (or to buy all the bitcoin later on the trip)

vs Bitcoin the coin that has been created in a direct response as an ANTI bank transaction system by mr Satoshi. He labeled the genesis block with the text: “03/Jan/2009 Chancellor on brink of second bailout for banks.”. Bitcoin was meant to be an alternative to our current financial system.

You did all register on bitcointalk... if you have even one gram of ethics you would never choose Ripple

Bitcoin for sure. XRP had a good race but it has already finished. But BTC one is on the start only

bitcoin and ripple are not same so you cannot say or ... just both haha ... there are so many coins and tokens and the markets are crazy but these are quiet interesting

I'm more wonder about BTC or ETH, not ripple at all.

These kind of questions keep coming from my friends over weeks and days. It makes me mad.
Why are we in crypto? To avoid banks and manipulative fiat money so why would I prefer centralized shitty ripple over digital gold bitcoin?

In the next 2-5 years, I think Bitcoin will still be the best cryptocurrency. But if you have less money, you can buy ripple and do a long-term hold.

Looks like Ripple is heading in some good places , But really comparing it with Bitcoin !! Are you serious ! Ripple idea and way is against everything a cryptocurrency should be . A friend of mine that is working in a bank was asking me about ripple just today and he is a guy that never know about crypto . Guess what ! His bank making him study Ripple for a possible partnership with Ripple . SO for sure Ripple is good project but it does not belong to crypto world and for sure comparing it with BTC is not a good idea .

That might be the initial cause for which bitcoin came into existence, but users here doesn't give importance to avoid banking. Majority of the users focus on profiting, so I don't think that ripple is shitty centralized and won't benefit the user community. Bitcoin is all about trust and surely the decentralized functioning will grow bigger than ripple.

How can you compare these coins? Bitcoin is the father of the crypto world, and he was built to decentralize the exchange between people. A ripple is completely different, it's not even a blockchain, it's just a company that wants to change standard bank transfers.

That is a very good point. Bitcoin was developed primarily because after the recent world financial crisis, which was basically a cash-flow crisis, something new was needed as it became obvious that the current instruments used for payment for goods and services were not sufficiently efficient.

Pure allocation (creating more poor and rich, destroying the "middle class") and very inefficient system of money creation - money being either issued by private banks which creates a system that can be sustained only by loaning more money in order to cover the holes/minuses in the budget (actually it can be covered by surplus in the foreign trade, but only if we observe individual countries, not world as a whole), or "printed" by Governments which, especially seen back in 80-es, creates hyperinflation - demanded a new system.

Blockchain was the answer to that. Of course that banks can use the blockchain as well, but banks have already shown to us that they are not a good regulator of money circulation.

True, if you have a huge money why not invest in this two promising coin.
But, if your still need to choose among this two coin, then its still better if you gonin bitcoin.
Bitcoin come first and also built it reputation and trust of the investors.
It was also the main coin so far, so it was the one who have the high price in the market.

I think(and really hope) Bitcoin, but I've been wrong before about Ripple.

Bitcoin and ripple cannot comparable still bitcoin is the best investment  than other coins. When you plan to buy ripple it is profitable also you can hold this for a long term. The existince of bitcoin is still on top and its value is very high so Ill choose bitcoin than any other cryptocurrency.

The banks have already begun their war on BTC, but i wasnt aware they are using Ripple to achieve their victory. All i know is BTC is growing, giving the wealth back to the people. The banks will fight this to the death.

If you mare receiving this transmission, you are the resistance.

infowars.com

Ripple had it's time, don't think we will see large price inclines. BTC on the other hand will probably blow once LN is fully implemented.

2-5 years is very long time mate. Can not wait till that long coming.
I think both coin that you mention above are very promissing. Invest in one of them is very good idea but investing in both is better than just invest in one 1 altcoin. In the time you talk, bitcoin will give you more profit but if you can take both profit then why just one.

For me to compare it with bitcoin, I definitely choose bitcoin. Because I think bitcoin has the movement of price fluctuations far and fast. This is great for trading and long term investment.

For me it's bitcoin the supplies are still many and it's potential for growth is very high. Maybe Bitcoin will still be the best cryptocurrency. But if you have less budget at hand, you can buy ripple hold it for a long time.

Forget Bitcoin or ripple, Electroneum is the future. Capitalizing on the insane demand and popularity of smart phones will be the future of cryptocurrency.
Does anybody actually use BTC as anything but an investment? This is not a currency anymore..too slow...too expensive.

How can you even compare them? Are you a noob?

for 2 to 5 years to come, I am sure ripple the best. due to investing in ripple need not be a large capital so that it could generate a lot of profit. whereas if in need of large capital bitcoin so, fortunately, could be promising

What r u new? Ripples run is over, it will sleep now for a year. Move on already.

bitcoin I think more promising and lucrative when compared to ripple. Thus from now on better invest wrote on bitcoin and used long term. bitcoin would naturally be more promising in the future.

Ripple. because if I choose bitcoin, it looks like if to invest aka results I get not very visible because of my capital is not too large, therefore I just customize with a capital I have and it is a ripple.

Bitcoin is the best cryptocurrency and ripple is altcoins
If do you want to invest for the longterm, it is good to choosing of bitcoin.

You can always compare them, even if they are completely different. Is it useful to compare them, probably not.
BTC will always be the standard by which all other currencies are measured...even if its fundamentally useless at this point.

RIPPLE!

Holding both coin for the next 2-5 years is exactly profitable. But holding altcoin for that long I doubt that may be more suitable for short term. Holding Bitcoin for long term will likely profitable when the nexr 2-5 years.

In 2-5 years ofcourse bitcoin. Why ? Because ripple developer coin locked only 2 years and you know how many ripple issued ? 100 billion coin and also ripple is centralised coin. Its become big only because centralised entities joining in amex and other. Cryptocurrencies created not for centralised economy. The vision is clear bitcoin created for people so people can control their own money.

Bitcoin is the true decentralized coin and I believe in it.. But do you guys think it can find a way to improve its really expensive fees today? I also think twice about sending payments due to how long it takes to send payments. Still hope it will have a fix for this though.

I would rather go to bitcoin since bitcoin is more established and stable than any other altcoins. Bitcoin which more likely to survive than ripple in my opinion.

Of course the best answer = both.
I do worry that bitcoin may end up being the AOL of cryptos

I will choose bitcoin. In the long run, bitcoin is the best investment. XRP this month is a really crazy growth and I don't think this will last long. For a long time, XRP was only suitable for short-term investments. BTC, ETH, LTC are investment options for a long time!

Even tho I'm a big XRP fan I believe that for trading or investing Bitcoin would be the best choice.

a person chooses bitcoin for long-term benefits, but if someone chooses a ripple usually for short-term gain. but I think a lot of people choose bitcoin as a place for investment and buying and selling.

I think bitcoin is the best coin. Ripple is nowhere near of it. I don't think that ripple can match bitcoin in future too. Only Ethereum has the potential to match bitcoin. Although, Ripple has pumped hard in recent times, but it can crash anytime.

ripple is great coin but i dont like the fact that it is centralized more or less and devs each month are unlocking 1bn of ripple for their own use

I agree with you...

BTC and ETH will last forever... while I'm not really sure about XRP in a long run... don't forget that XRP is a centralized coin...


yup, that's the ugly truth about XRP... that makes me feel insecure to spend my investment money into XRP

Bitcoin and ripple are good but Im into bitcoin since. Bitcoin is the best and growth is increasing. I dont doubt ripple because it is also a profitable coin. When you buy or invest in bitcoin hold for it for long term because there is a big chance to gain more profit.

brothers who will take leadership ripple or bitcoin ?

will there be a war between ripple and bitcoin ??

I chose ripple because in my opinion will be able to have double profit in the next 5 years. how come.? it's very possible, because i believe RIPPLE to BTC will go up. and BTC to FIAT will also increase in price. so we can have double PROFIT.

Ripple has risen too high recently, now new investment whether that be late!
I really want to try it but as a beginner I am very cautious.

I will always choose Bitcoin. But if you are new in Crypto, choosing ripple is a good choice - it is new, and currently running up to the mainstream, you could easily gain profit.

I'll go with ripple. Why?

- fast transactions
- small fees
- real life implementation
- affordable price for whole unit (psychological effect, it's better to have 1 whole coin over 0.00001, even if the second one is way more valuable)

The poll is clearly saying that the crypto community is still made up of people who are mostly supportive of Bitcoin more than any alternate cryptocurrency. This goes out to say that Bitcoin will still be the ruling crypto. Bitcoin doubled the the votes of the second. This will serve as an assurance to people in here that Bitcoin has a very strong and soling community of supporters behind it and that it will not easily succumb to any FUDs and negative comments about it. I for one voted for Bitcoin. The reason is simply that it is still the number one.

Bitcoin will be the main crypto currency. It is the the dollar in fiat world.  Currently the demand in bitcoin is really high. With the current number of population in relation with the current supply of bitcoin. There will be more demand on it.

how if we still choose bitcoin as the main coin and we use ripple as the secondary coin. I mean we use ripple to pay something, trading, or other things that bitcoin do and then we are withdrawn using ripple too. bitcoin is for collecting our wealth and if we are run out of ripple, we can buy with our bitcoin and of course, we can get a lot of ripple because the price is still cheap. I think this sounds good, we have fast transaction and fast time confirming, we have a big giant coin which is bitcoin and we can save our money in bitcoin too.

At the moment I choose bitcoin. But still waiting for the Ripple will fall further, I want to buy it for long term investment.

Well im definitely agree with you buddy. Bitcoin is still the best and most profitable coin in the cryptocurrency so far. Even if you hold it for a long term im sure it will still give you a great profit. Unlike ripple, yes it is true that ripple is in good term for now. But we cant say what will happen the next day, what if ripple fall down ?  No one can say, but in bitcoin  I believed that it can stay and continue to improve for the better.

There's no need to ask if there's a way between ripple and bitcoin. We know that XRP is centralized while bitcoin isn't and XRP has banks that is supporting it so it's up to the people who are avid investors of cryptocurrencies on who will be they supporting. Wise investors doesn't go with centralization and will just dump off their XRP just like what's happening now, bitcoin will always take the lead.

Bitcoin has earned itself the face and images of crypto currencies and I doubt if any other coin can take that away forever. Ripple cannot replace bitcoin as the dominant coin and I don't think it even have that capacity. I just view it performance for the past few days and I findout that it has getting a dump of about 50% in just two days. I think this coins should be allowed to chart it couse instead of them become a competitors of which one to become first or not.

I agree with your opinion I think if I have $ 100,000 I will invest in ripper because I am sure the price will explode soon

Definitively Bitcoin, because it has already proven and is more stable and reliable. To me I cannot compare Bitcoin with any other coin.

I definitely choose Bitcoin. I am almost sure that he will win in the long term.
I think, Bitcoin is more reliable than Ripple.

in the movement and the results I get when I choose the small coins even though because of the Ripple but fortunately, these coins given to me were great enough because the movement is fast and very large.

Bitcoin all the way. You can never take it away from bitcoin. It is surely a standard and the GO-TO coin.

i still prefer Bitcoin for long term

 ;D i would say that new time of win will be altcoin.

there are so mouch good project wich have an real idea behind their coins !
This should be the way how crypto works.
Thanks

More people are pushing some others to take bitcoin, yes bitcoin is profitable investment but in other side ripple if profitable too. In my opinion investing in both is high percentage to earn much profit, they were no need to pick anyone. Because investing solely between this coin is not practical thinking, due to high numbers of competition in the crypto currency industry.

My word is that, of course bitcoin. Although ripple has succeed to reach good prices, I think it has still many things to prove. Bitcoin is the best.

While bitcoin is the strongest coin, it is better to invest in it for a long time. I consider Ripple to be the most promising altcoin in which to invest the most part of your funds for a quick profit.

It didn't took me 5 secs to think on what to choose that can be good for holding for 5 years.

If you'll about to choose only 1 then bitcoin for sure. It's a sure profit and while it's on dip, keep on buying because after this dip it will rise again.

But why choose only bitcoin, diversify and have them both.

At this moment I will choose Ripple, the recent partnership with MoneyGram will skyrocket the XRP price. I'm expecting it to be anything between $5-6 by the end of this month.

In any case, in the event that you will think about those coins, bitcoin will at present the ruler and ripple will simply wound up like a younger sibling of bitcoin. As far as value, I figure ripple couldn't outperform the cost of the bitcoin. Indeed, even today at various trade, bitcoin is as yet the main regarding value, volume and market capitalization. Those dealers is simply getting a charge out of the soaring cost of ripple, however for me Bitcoin is as yet the best of all. As you can see, do ripple reach more than $3 again?

There is always a battle between all cryptocurrency and bitcoin is the center of all. And now this altcoin one called ripple is on the way of competing bitcoin and already showing the success in the world of cryptocurrency. But I don't think bitcoin will be easily lose in this battle, also investors what is the best action and that is choosing the bitcoin and ripple while waiting the big result and also while getting profit between it.

This is an easy one, Bitcoin.
Anything is possible but risk always matters, if I had to take greater risk than Bitcoin I think Ripple would be one of my last choices, Ethereum vs BTC is a better question.

Today,I don't trust ripple because of artifically created price,Which is the basis of suspicion.Despite the fact,I think,In this situation traders can earn normal profit from it,Short-term trading can be  lucrative at this moment,Because there are good news for Ripple owners and people don't stop buying this,They hope that price will be very high,They don't care that this coin is centralized... Monegram has just announced that they have contracts with ripple and trying to integrate with it,Wich I think will be determinant of price rising,Because Moneygram is one of the famous financial sector in the world.

You suggest deciding between 2 evils )))

as we see it, btc is king.

no need to take any other coin when it is so overpricing nowadays.

Ripple's team has very ambitious plans for the near future. But I do not know what will happening with bitcoin soon, because its price is still stucked. I would invest in a ripple because I guess it should be pumped once again.

This is very easy, ripple is a coin made by the banks for the banks and bitcoin is a currency made by a genius and that he gave in a generous way to the people of the world for free, when you see things like this it is very easy to select bitcoin over any other coin including ripple.

Out of all the coins out there, you can count on Bitcoin to always be I guess alive. Bitcoin is crypto, and whenever wants to buy crypto for the first time, Bitcoin is Crypto. I don't even know how to explain it.

Definitely ! Bitcoin  ::)
if you start thinking Ripples  can overtake bitcoin then you must be in wrong way to think  ;)
Bitcoin is the King and dont compare bitcoin with Ripple .

Happy Trading
Thanks
Regards

Ripple is the bankers coins which is the opposite of Bitcoin. The point of Bitcoin is to be decentralized and be your own bank. Cryptocurrencies allow people to do peer to peer transfers which eliminates bank involvement. What do banks do? Charge you a lot more interest than they give you. Also, leaving your fiat in a bank account robs your of your hard earned labor by inflation. Yeah, it feels so good to be trapped in a 15-30 mortgage and pay 3-4 times the amount you borrowed, doesn't it?

Research what "Mortgage" means? Latin words meaning: Mort = Death, Gage = Pledge. Debt until Death is what it means. It gets worse though. Even if you are able to pay off your mortgage before you die, if you don't pay your property taxes, the government will take the property from you. So in essence, you are only renting from the government for life.

https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/government 

1 : the act or process of governing; specifically : authoritative direction or control

bitcoin is a nice coin and certainly for the next five years is a very suitable to invest in bitcoin because of course, the results obtained are very much greater.

ripple has a great volume on the market but doesnt show any bullish movement over the months up untill last month. honestly its hard to tell hahaha

Although ripple has a great volume I still believe bitcoin still is number one and earned its spot for a reason. Bitcoin will still increase its price even around 2-5 years time. That’s why ai’ve inbested in this coin for my family and especially for my daughter for her college.

Indeed but these are all just for show, I'm so disappointed with xrp and the team behind it because of all the hype recently. So it's no way we compare bitcoin to xrp because it's too far different  especially if you're planning to hold it for long-term. You need to think logically and decide wisely.

Ripple will be favored by the banks so i think it has less risk than bitcoin.

BTC or XRP?

That is easy. Both.

But if I have to chose only one, ripple for sure.

bitcoin is possible to get a lot of money for your investment
Ripple is too hard to go up because the total supply of ripple is too much.
Possible bitcoin is increase than Ripple for the longterms

Definitely I choose bitcoin,as I said no one can defeated bitcoin its price has a stablity and strongest coin in cryptocurrency,possible for a long term investment that can make our mobey profitable.Btc is the king and it is the only chosen coin that we can trust for trading and investments.

in my opinion, prefer the bitcoin of the ripple, because we know that the public response to btc is getting better, the selling value is higher, it means the more days, the more people believe about this btc, and if many believe, the more day is growing and increasing in value, unless there is something very big, certainly in the next few years, the better and the higher the price

I still prefer Bitcoin, this is the one that started it all and the one that is widely adopted and all altcoins including Ripple depend on their strength to Bitcoin, if the people behind Bitcoin can fix the transaction and the confirmation, it will still remain as the cryptocurrency to beat.

bitcoin or ripple is down today and many of altcoin is down
it is better to wait and see, panic sell on the cryptocurrencies market at the moment.

All markets are down today and going down for the past couple of weeks.
Ripple say they have agreements with some big companies like BOA or MoneyGram but does this help the currency? It doesn't, this is only for the news. I don't even understand why is listed as a crypto.
I'll always go for Bitcoin in this battle.

Why do you say this? I don't understand? It's got as much a place under the crypto umbrella as most of the crypto currencies.

All market go down, but i think you should buy Bitcoin because with Bitcoin you can buy others altcoins.

Hmmm... You can buy other altcoins with ripple too. Just trade them. Easy!

It's not POW, it's not POS, it's not decentralized, what is it? It's an ordinary currency.

Crypto currence Father vs. BANKS TOKEN:D? Its 2018, you have to start understand that Ripple is super expensive coin, the price is low becouse of circulating supply. And its nothing, when the banks want, they will add more 40 bil tokens, so your ripple price will drop by 50% :D, never looked in this, and never going invest in this. Ripple is NOTHING.

Actually it's not even a true currency ...yet... but that's another story. XRP exists natively within the Ripple protocol as a counterparty-free currency, as Bitcoin does on the Blockchain. ... Not dependent on any third party for redemption, XRP is the only currency in the Ripple network that does not entail counterparty risk, and it is the only native digital asset. It;s a bridge currency in a very similar manner to bitcoin. Yes it's not POS or POW but uses consensus protocol.... and?

Most coins listed under the crypto umbrella have less reason to be considered under that umbrella. XRP is being adopted as the darling crypto of the financial sector. That interest is what gives value to XRP and I still don't get why you think it shouldn't be listed as a crypto when you look at most other crypto coins listed?

Lol...sure. Even taking into account circulation supply and the price it's still small versus the amount of money a platform like ripple can save the financial sectors in transaction fees. We are talking hundreds of billions of dollars every year being moved around the world by moneygram, swift, amex, visa, ecommerce payment providers, government, central banks ...the list is endless. Sometimes these transaction fees (and associated fees) can add up to 25% of the cost... Ripple reduces these costs by an enormous margin. If you still don't think that ripple is worth it's price...,move along why everyone invested keeps making money..and don't forget that they can burn coins if they need to. It doesn't take a maths genius to work out what will happen to ripple's price then.

I don't know man. I mean it is to early for me to decide. In this stage ripple have better future in terms of technology.
But Bitcoin can develop too. We are waiting for lightning network.

I think Bitcoin is better. Because Ripple is not really a cryptocurrency. It is controlled by a company and it is not safe for investors. You can buy Bitcoin and get more profit.

At the end of the day, ripple is still a centralized coin and does not have the spirit of decentralization/crypto. It represents the exact system Bitcoin is attempting to replace. For this reason I'd choose BTC.

Personally for me bitcoin has the long term potential because to the fact that bitcoin is the mother of cryptocurrencies and has survived the market for a very long time despite. In additional bitcoin still sustain the benefits of all users. thats why until now many people choose the bitcoin rather than ripple. On other hand ripple is just new in the market and rapid growth in the market it still dont have the ability to compete with bitcoin.

the poll says everything clear, what people believe, I agree

Bitcoin and Ripple have conflicting approaches to cryptocurrency. Where Bitcoin’s decentralized approach means anyone can use it for whatever they feel like, Ripple is marketing its cryptocurrency as an asset transfer solution for major calculations. The company touts more than 100 customers, with more than 75 of those clients deploying Ripple commercially.
If you have bitcoin, then it will not be taken away from you! but what about Ripple?

Still Bitcoin..

Now the price for both coins is low so we can buy them. But now I want to pay more attention to bitcoin because we will probably never see such a price again. After all I fix my profits in bitcoin but not in ripple.

It is not correct to compare them. Bitcoin is the basis of the crypto currency, and Ripple is one of the promising coins that can lose competition to many others. If you ask about who will grow more, then this is another matter. Here it is not so clear, I think that the ripple can grow more.

Exactly the point I will choose Bitcoin to. Ripple seems to have a great team. But it certainly lacks the spirit we all go for I think.

to my opinion, i dont like to invest in ripple very much because ripple is just a cryptocurrency which is made a group that works for banks benefits, so there are no such thing called decentralized in Ripple, i don't like that so i will choose to invest in bitcoin morever, bitcoin has more value and higher profit in the future when i choose to invest in bitcoin rightnow.

i think both of them are ok. you can separate your budget to invest 2 coins. the market is affected by bad news from China and South Korea. But I always believe they will recover soon. No one can kill cryptocurrency

Lol guys you really decided to compare the best currency with the currency which is not a good technology? I think ripple is very overvalued cryptocurrency

never like ripple seeming that they can any amount of coins more when ever they what .Between the two bitcoin for me

this is a very ridiculous comparison. absolutely my answeris "bitcoin" Because ripple is just a token. Bitcoin is the chief architect of all these events

with a capital that is not how much but want big results for the time not long then the ripple is the choice. This coin despite the small but the result really bite.

What kind of question is that? OBVIOUSLY bitcoin

I was the one who played the small capital trading with, therefore I choose ripple. Although the price is not high ripple come however when it has gone up will give you great results.

For sure bitcoin will remain on top that time but we must open are mind also that xrp can give us profit too. I see this two coin as an opportunity to make more money, and will lead us to a better future. But overall I go for bitcoin and I believe 2-5years from now, bitcoin will surely high in value.

I'll choose bitcoin instead of ripple, there are many speculation of bitcoin that this year price will become huge. Ripple is also good to buy but on top of all cryptocurrency bitcoin is the most leading cryptocurrency.

I think bitcoin will always be in top. There are many people invest in bitcoin and many believes in bitcoin. Bitcoin is the highest now and I think it will lead in the next 2-5 years. Its only my opinion.

I guess you can't compare btc and ripple. BTC is way out of ripple's league. BTC is well established and will always be the number 1 crypto. number 2 will always be ETH :)

haha you are crazy man. ripple is the worst competitor for bitcoin. ethereum is perfect candidate  instead of ripple. think again please.

Bitcoin and Ripple are not in competition. Bitcoin is a great king. Perhaps if Bitcoin is accepted as digital gold, it can be considered a payment instrument in Ripple.

I think bitcoin will always be in top. there are many speculation of bitcoin that this year price will become huge.
just hodl your btc

I much prefer the ethereum because it is potentially more altcoin when compared to another altcoin, for the price is also not too high, not the same is the case with bitcoin.

This is theme for these two but I more belive in Wanchain technology than in centralized Ripple. And everything is with BTC what makes sense

Ripple is a good altcoins, if I am not wrong that Ripple will be the bank in the future
but if do like high fluctuation it is better choice of bitcoin.

Ripple, Bitcoin is already too expensive, the downside of Ripple is that it is controlled by single company as far as I know.

You must be joking that ripple is expensive, it cheap till its less than 2 bucks. Ofcourse if you want 5x times profit with 2 monhts, then yes it is expensive. Overall a good buy.

really ripple is a bank and from some of the news circulating ripple has established cooperation with beberpa bank in some countries, i become more optimistic for ripple.

As centralized coin and ripple is very expensive right now. That offers only interbank payment and then the fact that ripple is bankers future currency, but it looks i was wrong on that. How bankers is only interested in how ripple implement a fast transaction with cheap fees right now.

It is nice to read when there someone who choose Ripple and honestly it's a nice altcoin which is listed from the top 5.But my motivation now is to have a bitcoin someday because i want to earn a lot of it soon.Just never give up and take this opportunity to make me more eager to make my dreams come true.

Ripple is a cursed coin!  Beware!  Better to invest in bitconeeeeee! :)


http://pumpand.win/ (http://pumpand.win/)

You should be looking at market cap, not the dollar value of each token.  Ripple's market cap is right up there.



http://pumpand.win/ (http://pumpand.win/)

in my point of view ripple have bright future market due to its constent growth because at the time market is in dip condition

well, they are not to compare. BTC is more wide spread and popular. Though xrp is good

ripple for bank and it is not decentralized. we need something decentralized. I dont like the idea something can control us. and remember ripple is control by a company. imagine when ripple labs get hacked. that will be the end for ripple investor

For me ripple is not a trustworthy coin so i would not even compare ripple to bitcoin. It is true ripple's market cap came closer to bitcoin but it lose it's popularity in the future. I think crypto community sees ripple as a tool of trade. When they got their profits they will probably say goodbye to ripple. If you really wany to invest in an altcoin go and buy some ethereum , it will see greater numbers this year.

Obviously BTC, because it is the base of all crypto currencies. Secondly others are all alternate coins based on BTC.

According to me this comparison is not a logical one.

if bitcoin price dump. everything dump. if bitcoin price to da moon. everything to the moon/ have my anwser

Ripple too risky for me. Bitcoin is an investment in the long term looks like more warranty. Of course, it varies from individual to individual. 8) ???

Indeed.  Ripple's good for making a quick buck, and has fast and low cost network fees.  But I couldn't trust it any more than I can trust someone running a pump and dump group :)

Pump and WIN!!1

http://pumpand.win/ (http://pumpand.win/)

I think bitcoin will still reign in the next 2-5 years. Because there is a huge gap between the two and bitcoin is still worth holding than any other altcoins. I still don't see any coin having the capability to beat the bitcoin.

Without checking the poll, i am sure more of us decide to choose bitcoin and you know why.
Ripple is centralized altcoin that can dump at anytime because of the developer and we have to aware about it.

not both if my opinion. ethereum, litecoin, and xlm are far more promising than bitcoin and ripple. the altcoin proved far more potential to more developed.

Ripple is dumb. Therefore, Bitcoin.

To start with, we should know that bitcoin is use to invest and ripple is use for currency ,I think it depend on what you need from them important but ripple is full of risk for me.

I think very good bitcoin, because bitcoin is the main coin that is in great demand by many people. and bitcoin would be great if you keep it for a long time

i choose bitcoin in the first place but if you want to earn more bitcoin you can buy altcoin like ripple.

I am shocked to see this much people voted centralized bad coin called ripple. Why would you even install ripple if you are trying to change how banks work? Inflation of ripple will kill markets.

yes that's true because for me bitcoin is an important role in crypto and it keeps going that way.
because all started with bitcoin and ripple is just one altcoin that will not beat bitcoin.

I hold both cryptocurrencies. I believe that Bitcoin and Ripple will show the greatest growth in comparison with the other cryptos.

Well, I choose only BTC. Far too much has been said about Ripple. Better hold other coins from top 50 market cap..

Still bitcoin, without bitcoin or if bitcoin falls i don't see the market of cryptocurrency or alts will surpass bitcoin in terms of price.

There was a time when bitcoin is the ultimate currency and with time and more users ,it is impossible to see bitcoin as a currency which can be used on a daily basis,the higher transactions charges made micro transactions impossible and hence the dream of having a currency vanished but i am not getting ripple instead of bitcoin.

UTK coin of the year... hahaha

No need for arguments with this, I know we have our own opinions if which is better but lets face the reality. Ripple have potential and I agree with the current status that it is soaring high but BTC is irreplaceable and I know that all of us know the answer. But still we as users we have to support all of them for the growth of this business.

Yeah, we can see from the past few days, when BTC price going on a dip, altcoins price also falling like hell..

BTC is better than ripple in many ways.. I wonder why there's still people that choose ripple over BTC...


any centralized coin is risky.. I believe BTC had everything better compared to ripple

anyday anytime i will prefer bitcoin , all crypto market depend on its movement .

see this example - if ripple falls to 0.20$ or 0.10$ then only ripple holders will be affected , and other altcoins will not be affected at all .

but if btc movement go down then entire market will go down and that is sure thing ..

so it shows why btc is called king of crypto .

You are assuming that no other coin will take over BTC role of top marketcap. That could easily change if a downward trend in BTC continues. Etehreum and XRP are not that far behind.

It is still hard for ripple to overtake bitcoin and it might take time before it happen. In order to take the lead from bitcoin, ripple must try to overtake ethereum again and try to stay in no.2 spot. The demand for ripple should surge many times to be able to match bitcoin demand. For the meantime, bitcoin will remain to be the leader of all cryptocurrencies followed by ethereum.

I think is bitcoin, because bitcoin is on the very good development momentum,
very potential in the future.

RIPPLE IS SHIT, you can not compare ethereum, or bitcoin with ripple. Are you serious? You are probably one of those guys who do not even know what they are saying but you are just trying to increase your activity.
GTFO.

well articulated...lol How about explaining how you think Ripple is better than Bitcoin with detailed commentary rather than a throwaway comment that has no substance. And no, don't just state the usual FUD comments such as  'it's centralised', 'Ripple owns 60% of coins', 'it's a bankers platform', 'it's tech can be stolen' ' it's not a true currency' blah blah blah. Actually form an argument that makes some sense so that we can understand where you are coming from because frankly, I have yet to read a valid argument against XRP that can't be applied to most other coins..

Bitcoin is always my first choice, even if it pumps 100% tomorrow. I tried to hold 40% of my portfolio in bitcoin.

Ripple is not really centralized for me thus it is not a "real" and "pure" crypto for me.

Bitcoin is good, distribution is not skewed however the miners are somehow centralized imo.

I would look at Ethereum, IOTA and Cardano more. Cardano is good tho, Peer Reviewed Papers

like you said, it is better to support both bitcoin and ripple so we could still make money from that coins. but I think bitcoin will still lead the exchanges and for the other coins as bitcoin is more famous depends on the other so bitcoin will be number one in coinmarketcap for this year and maybe for the next year. and I agree that ripple with the other coin have potential to increase but they will need more time before the price is increase more high in the future.

Still Now I am supporting BTC because it is the mother of all cryptocurrency. So BTC is still best.

Yes I agree but for some reason XRP really seems to make certain people unjustifiably grumpy. lol

Ripple XRP best coin

the ripple price has fallen very much in the last month and I believe that this is fair, it should not go beyond 1 dollar, there are many other coins that should have more value than ripple, given their technology and idea

the ripple makes an aggrements with big finance companies and I think they also make an investment. Nowadays all altcoins loss values. When they catch the ritim , ripple will makes multi x

I like to invest risky to get high profits, so I will choose the ripples, buy and sell is a form of investment for those who have plenty of time to monitor the market, if anyone wants to invest in The market has high stability, I think bitcoin is a good choice.

Personally both coins have different potential and advantages, For now bitcoin had definitely proven that it is the best cryptocurrency and we can see that it stays on the market for almost more than years now and the price is increasing everyday. But the price is already pretty big and right now it is almost impossible for bitcoin to increase 10 times more while for ripple this is actually very possible to happen and I think so risky in ripple.

in a any case differentiating and investing in both along with Ethereum could be a winning decision

How many times does it have to be repeated? 'All coins have fallen over the past month' Ripple is no different and neither is Bitcoin.

Jeez....

you are mistaken, all the coins fell in price only by half, ripple fell to 3-4, so there is a lot of truth in my words mentioned above

Ofcourse BTC is much  better. Bitcoin is far more okay compared to ripple. But investing in these two for long term holding would be okay.

Now the price for both coins is low so we can buy them. But now I want to pay more attention to bitcoin because we will probably never see such a price again.

if you are new, you better try with ripple. But still bitcoin can bring better gains.

Over the next 2-5 years both can be useful. I believe none will go dramatically down, only up

I do not want compare these coins at all. They have different purposes.
but compare for example Ethereum and Ripple, this will be more interesting. there is something to compare.
if I have a question to buy a coin and keep it, for example, 5 years old, I chose Ripple, because I do not know what will happen to Bitcoin.

Still bitcoin, without bitcoin or if bitcoin falls i don't see the market of cryptocurrency or alts will surpass bitcoin in terms of price. Far too much has been said about Ripple.

i'll choose bitcoin all the way. i'm doing a long-term investment, so all my trust is in bitcoin. it has all the potential to compared to ripple. and i think many of us here will choose btc and just keep holding until it rises.

Bitcoin Will always stand against any other Altcoin ! so Buy And Hold BTC ! XRP is not comparable with Bitcoin ,
XRP could be back to 0.5$ soon as XRP is not gaining its value since it was pumped .
So bitcoin will be best choice

Happy Trading
Thanks
Regards
 

Yes you're right bitcoin is much more potential but ripple and bitcoin are the list for coinmarketcap that really goes up it's value.This is the reason that i will choose both because they are all important and has a capability to  rising up.All coins in cryptocurrency really evolve which demands for people that wanted to earn and invest it.I'm glad to be a part of it's evolution of this coins which i can earn,invest and express my feelings that cryptocurrency which is crypto coin help us to be successful.

ripple has well potential.
now price is less 1 $.
can be more than 10$!
Huge profit!!!

i think bitcoin has the most long term potential. because all coins start with bitcoin. ripple is new coins unlike bitcoin, never dies... it the best coin that you ever imagine.

Ripple has a great future in my opinion. High potential to increase in near future. Range from 10$ to 20$ before the end of 2020.

Yes and pool shows the most votes are bitcoin, I choose both cause it has different unique potential and also has its own advantages but its better ripple cause it can pump up to x10 or x100 with a small dominant value so it can freely whale come but this is not easy time very long time to achieve it, long term investment.

It depends , but as of now this two coin decreasing price.  If we are talking about the profit I suggest to buy ripple because the price is very cheap and for sure once the price increase you can make a lot of profit.  You can gain profit in bitcoin but not like in ripple because it's hard to double the price because it's very high even the price decrease.  Unless ripple cheap price it easy the price become 100 times.

I still prefer to choose bitcoin because there's guarantee that bitcoin can survive for longterm and for me, bitcoin is more profitable than Ripple.

btc. hodl that shit. better yet, throw a fat stack at that shit. my opinion - not financial advice - all the top 25 are most likely going to double, at a minimum, by years end. even ripple, sadly.

Bitcoin anyday anytime.
Ripple is nowhere in the picture of even competing with bitcoin. It's decentralized and many more projects just like ripple are about to come.

I think the ethereum and doge more potent compared with both these coins. for the future, this would be an altcoin that counts. exclusively for own ethereum seem to be able to compete with bitcoin.

Last threee comments are straight from brainlets lool.
Ripple is best bitcoin is worst

I've never use Ripple. Its just a alt-coin and i never buy or invest in alt-coin. I heard trade in alt coin is best for investors. But i believe in bitcoins more than these coins. I have good experience with bitcoin and i gain a lot of profit in just short time. So i recommend you to buy bitcoins instead of ripple.

I never used ripple for investment. but I often invest in other altcoins because a lot of altcoins are still profitable than ripple coins. so ripple is just a small part of altcoin that is often for investment. I only trust the currently stable coin like bitcoin or ethereum.

Only coin good xrp
Bad coin btc. All not buy btc.
User xrp

Think of the best among the rest. Best among the best. Bitcoin will take the rest. The features, momentum, ability to use in the future, foundation, and the creation of how it will works. Bitcoin will always lead everybody. The place of btc on top being the first coin and lead the altcoins will always happen.

 For me bitcoin,bitcoin still the king of all cryptocurrencies.
Most exchanges use bitcoin us the universal trading currency, which lead to many investors buying and selling bitcoin to buy and sell altcoin.

Crown Prince Alois of German-speaking Central European landlocked microstate Liechtenstein told CNBC that the family, of which his father the Prince Hans Adam II technically remains in power but with whom for all intents and purposes power resides, is exploring other asset classes, including bitcoin, to fix their wealth woes.
“It could be interesting, I think particularly the whole blockchain technology is very interesting,”

: “I think one has to see that it’s a that’s a very risky asset class — if it’s an asset class. But bitcoin  will change a lot of areas, a lot of businesses in the future.”

for now, I think it is better to invest in bitcoin only because the price is at the lower price and if we have money then we can buy a whole 1 bitcoin. but ripple could a good choice too as the price is to follow to get down and you can buy now if you want. besides ripple, you have many options to buy the coins and I hope that you don't miss this chance to buy as much coin as you can.

Both Bitcoin and ripple are different and have different ownership structures
Bitcoin is highly open source means anyone can use it whatever they want.Bitcoin is profitable then ripple.

Investment-wise i would choose Ripple over Bitcoin also because the price of Ripple is not yet that high and you can buy more compare to bitcoin where the price is already high that volatility could make you lose big amount of money. Imagine if you buy 100  Ripple now for $100 then forget about it for 5 years. After 5 years, each Ripple would value $1k because that is an attainable price of a coin. What a profit then.  :P

Come on, Ripple is a dead coin already and the Bitcoin is the foundation of all cryptocurrency. We even can't compare that coins. The Ripple is better in one way -- the transaction fee is much lower and the speed of transaction is higher.

It does not matter if ripple is favored by banks what it matters is which crypto is going to be used by a normal person around the world and the leading candidate for that is bitcoin, ripple is not close in that race against bitcoin and that is why if you are going to invest your money in a coin for the long term the right choice needs to be bitcoin.

agreed, people nowadays do not look into the opinion of the banks that much because we know in this community that they just want to control the trading of cryptocurrency along with governments. I believe bitcoin is still favored by a lot of traders since this is the first one who made an impact to the whole world if this crypto breaks down i think that's the end of crypto trading ( though it will not happen for me  ;D).

Of course, if you are so trusting Bitcoin that you can save coins for the future or invest in the current situation, then maybe you're lucky. But to date there is quite a lot of conflicting information and forecasts for the future regarding the fate of Bitcoin. And here I would advise you to refrain from further action, it is better to buy an etherium And there will be no problems.

Bitcoin and ripple are both good but I choose no other than bitcoin. Because bitcoin has a great potential to give more profit than ripple. You may invest them both 60 percent on bitcoin and 40 percent on ripple so that you won't regret in the future.

i will choose Bitcoin. and dont look at the price, look at the marketcap. Reason ripple is cheaper is because there is lots more ripple in circulation and it's supply is not fixed

Bitcoin is king! XRP does have potential in the banking world however for the masses BTC is the way to go. Even if it is just a store of value or people start using a seconf layer such as Ark to utiilise smart contracts and other functions who knows. Either way it beats XRP hands down!!

Ripple is centralized coin used by banksters whereas Bitcoin is decentralized coin when u compare ripple with bitcoin ripple have very fast transactions by the year 2021 most of the banks will use Ripple as the intermediary payment processor

If we talking about the profit better if you invest your money to ripple coin because for sure it will increase the price of this coin because other country have deal with ripple like saudu ariabia for sure this week ripple will increase more the price so for sure you gain a lot of profit.  More money that you have more ripple that you but and the result is possible you will become rich after few years of holding this coin.

For me, I choose both of them  ;D. 70% on BTC and 30% on XRP. I think BTC is more potential than XRP because BTC supply just 21 million but XRP? A lot of people know crypto because BTC.

I obviously prefer bitcoin, because bitcoin has been trusted with its increasingly increasing price, and if in  2-5 years maybe bitcoin will grow

Simple answer - BTC. Ripple also has some potential but not large as bitcoin does. We all remember that growth to 3$ and an immediate drop to 1$

Ripple is able to make a worthy competition to the first crypto-currencies. Bitcoin and Efirium are not likely to get out of Ripple in the near future, but this does not mean that its technology will not be of interest to the banking system.

I like to go with bitcoin, it may take ripple a very long time to appreciate while the world is gradually tending towards bitcoin already.

Split your investment into 60 - 40. Bitcoin 60% ripple 40%. If you talk about 3-5 years you can attain exponential profits.

And what makes you think that whatever affects bitcoin in the future is not going to affect ethereum, any kind of news big enough to affect the price of bitcoin that is not directly related to it will probably have to do with laws, regulations, bans or just plain FUD and that affects all the market and not only bitcoin, so buying ethereum instead of bitcoin is not going to protect you at all.

If you can bought bitcoin atleast 2 or more i think it's good to have a BTc  for long term because of its potential compared to ripple and for the fact that btc started it all.

Of course i choose Bitcoin, i don't understand, how can anyone choose Ripple...

of course bitcoin is one of the advancements of virtual currency so the right choice is bitcoin which will be a high value for a few years later

of course bitcoin is the best choice for long term hold from all cryptocurrencies
and ripple is a centralized crypto thats have a lot difference with bitcoin  ;)

if you want easy gains none of them, they are both high priced, for long term i don't know  if it's easier a 10x for btc or 10x for ripple, they would be both huge, probabily it will be easier with btc

With a capital that is not how much but want big results for the time not long then the ripple is the choice. This coin despite the small but the result really bite.

i choose ripple n my side, my reason is, though it is a centralized coin i think it can give me a profit because of its cheap price, i can hold many ripple for my investment, whereas bitcoin if you dont have 11k$ as of the price of bitcoin now, you can hold just a part of it, i think ripple will hit atleast 10$ in the next 5 years, if i buy it now it only cost 1$ is 1 xrp. its a huge profit though.

Bitcoin and ripple is good to invest for the longterm.
both is good to trade too and the high volume on the exchanges.

Ripple will not see even 2$ ever. It's a bad project and people know that now.

adjust the capital only, if a little just enough capital in investing in a ripple because although the value is small and very good movement has so quickly got results.

I do not understand such comparisons such as ether or ripple, bitcoin or ripple. The difference is obvious in everything, it's like saying that you will choose gold or crypto currency for investing. Each person has his own coin, each has his own goal and opinion.

it's the only answer for long term BTC is always a rise in the case of a money that everyone knows it and everybody has a coin

Yeah there's always comparison between coins, I dont think its necessary because we dont need to stick in just one and has an option to diversify. For btc and ripple, i'll go for bitcoin and I think we know why there is no need for further explanation. Ripple is good and I also have this in my portfolio, lets just wait for it to grow in the future coz im holding it for long term.

between the two coins is certainly prefer that still has a bright future that is bitcoin. bitcoin will be higher again because the number of available prices is increasingly rare.

Bitcoin and ripple are good to long-term investment.Now ripple price $1.now invest in ripple is good option Ripple price will increase more likely.Ripple deal with western Union and saudi central bank so ripple is popular .

for 2-5 years of course select bitcoin because his future is already very good and certainly will be more expensive. to ripple in my opinion is only suitable for short-term investments.

What are you saying ?  XRP has already seen above 3 $  Price , Ripple has Huge potential, XRP consumers are Banks and financial institutions  ( I even doubt that Banks are using this kind of FUD to keep price low so that they can get XRP cheap) Right now Ripple gives us opportunity/chance to grab banks money but where as alts give normal fellow investors money as none of the projects are live and prices - raise and fall by just mere speculations.

I prefer Ripple, judging from the history of the ripple price increase a year earlier, I think the potential for ripple to rise several times greater than the bitcoin,

Bitcoin long-term however next two years ripple should do well it offers genuine reasons to be used by the banks as they can use xrp instead of holding vast sums in banks around the world which can then not be invested

if told to vote then i will choose ripple because i only have little capital and is doing day trading, but if for long term investment bitcoin is my priority

Of course bitcoin, bitcoin is a coin which could get only to a second position and it would be the less position that it could get so investing in it is the best opporrtunity to earn some extra money.

Well, Ethereum is a great coin do not get me wrong but right now is mostly used to buy in icos, in my opinion it is better than ripple but I still prefer bitcoin over any other coin when we are talking about mass usage by people, now when it comes to investing some other coins will be a better option since the market cap of bitcoin is so much bigger than any other coin.

I believe in next big thing in crypto - crowdfunding with smart contracts through RSK in Bitcoin network. Will see =)

Earning extra money isn't just a simple profit aside of fiat, but with bitcoin investments all your asset can be the great opportunity to have. Ripple was just am alt of bitcoin, and the posibility would take more years to go before it will compete as bitcoin does for decades. Having those opportunity with alts towards bitcoin is always an advantage, because selling your assets which is your alts can give you great profit if you hold it when price increase on both bitcoin and altcoins value.

Bitcoin also bearish very low last time so they are the same bearish happen.
In this case, bitcoin is still more favorite because i know that ripple has very high supply which can make price goes up very slow.

Why do you say  ripple was going great? I dont think so because there are huge correction but never recover.
Correction is normal but normally its going to recover again like bitcoin so thats why many people choose bitcoin.

bitcoin and ripple have different profits.
so are the investors and enthusiasts very different.
if for me prefer the bitcoin which is very good movement in the market

I transferred couple of coins and tokens between exchanges but Ripple with it's almost 0 fee and instant speed was the best among all in terms of usability. Haven't used their wallet though

Of course bitcoin. Bitcoin created to make economy decentralised and riplle is so centralised controled by one entity even ripple acceptable by bankers that only because it is centralised and bankers dont like decentralised economy. I dont think ripple can break $5 anytime sooner or latter. And bitcoin i still believe it will give another bullish this year or at 2021

Of course XRP. Bitcoin is too slow and expensive it also takes high fees.
Core developers fighting against other developers instead of focusing on work.

Ripple will be more decentralized by the end of the year than butcoin and etherium

Ripple because it will continue to grow. If XRP just gets half of the % it did in 2017 then we see a massive opportunity and we see massive recognition of banks governments and regulators worldwide.
Be ready for paradigm shift. ;)
Buy now or cry later

for the next 2-5 years I believe more btc, because maybe btc will continue to grow and become advanced as the best altcoin which become the choice of many people

Bitcoin is in danger in reality because as fo now they have a lot of altcoin are have more potential and possible to become bitcoin after few years. 

But I hope bitcoin will live long but I believe until now it's food to buy and you gain more profit if the price increase more.

Ripple the price is very cheap that's why you can gain more profit from that and for sure possible you become rich if you invest to ripple coin a thousands of dollars.

It's up to you what is better is either bitcoin or ripple. Make a research to know it.

I would not choose between XRP and Bitcoin and hold both for long term and accumulating from trading other altcoins.

As far as XRP is concerned I have identified several support levels where we can add to positions.

At this moment #XRP testing again Support 1.

We can invest around 3 % of your BTC bank at every Support levels in case of breaking down Support 1.
3%X4 supports=12% (will be invested in XRP in case of reaching all Supports)

You can look at XRP chart down below to get more explicit picture or just follow my Telegram Channel for more TA: https://t.me/crypto_workshop

http://i68.tinypic.com/e0o1es.jpg

for me bitcoin is better than ripple, btc already maintain and establish its position many years already and i know in the future it will always leads the way and be the king of Crypto, Ripple for me is useless maybe dead after 5 years.

For now only Ripple is good for your investment. Recently, the Indian based bank IndusInd Bank adopted Ripple to solve its cross-border remittances. And, Till the end of year almost all of the bank in the world will adopt this. You could see the price as like ETH today.

There's nothing to think about. Ripple is not a crypto coin at all. And it is not decentralized, and most (60%) are from one owner. Only Bitcoin!

There is no point where you are correct.
Ripple IS a crypto coin. Ripple IS decentralized. And 60% are in a LOCK UP :)

Only XRP!

I choose Ripple because it's prize is still very low, below $1 dollar and investing in ripple is a good one... With Little cash u can buy a lot quality of the coin and hodl.

No coin is comparable to bitcoin. Xrp does not deserve you to compare. I think 100% of people here choose bitcoin. and never choose XRP

clearly bitcoin but litecoin will outperform everything this year

I agree with this one I don't know why are many people out there comparing bitcoin to ripple maybe fundamentally speaking ripple was better than bitcoin but fundamentally but how can you support a coin that is centralized that we all know can be controlled to powerful people out there? I'm still choosing bitcoin even if ripple was better fundamentally because I am really tired of centralized system.

I see huge potential in this coin!Ripple is the bomb and I see it exploding soon... look you can see the past 6months Ripple has gone up more than 2000 percent rise. that"s huge. you can cash in on this, now that prize is down

Bitcoin more reliable than ripple. Bitcoin will be 20-25 k again end of this year. :D ???

I think BTC has still a great potential

Many do not care about anything else but the profits, and even if ripple has a strong connection with banks they are still buying the coin, this is just the way it is and we must accept things as they are but there is no doubt in my mind that out of the two bitcoin is the clear superior choice if you want to invest for the long term.

Yes, i agree with you, bitcoin has best long term potential but the Ripple currently having a low value, it has greater growth potential and therefore earns a lot of money but I don't think the Ripple is a good investment in the long term, but rather in the short/medium term

I choose Bitcoin again also Bitcoin is "pure" mining coin and I don't like with Ripple "centralized coin". Although Bitcoin is much rejected by some countries but in fact Bitcoin is very easily accepted in various layers of the world community without exception.

I think both Bitcoin and ripple are very capable platform and both can show tremendous amount of growth in the coming years. Bitcoin is the master of all cryptocurrency and it is, without any doubt the most popular crypto available in the market. You can expect it's price to hit 30000$ by end of this year for sure. Ripple on the other hand, is a payment protocol which can truly revolutionize the current banking scenario. Diversifying your investment between these two can help you earn huge amounts of profits.

Bitcoin more reliable than ripple I think. But ripple good project too my choise bitcoin :)

As a pure store of value rather than a functional token, bitcoin is arguably in competition with any other coin that’s being bought as an investment or for transactional purposes. BTC will always beyond competition

Yes definitely I also bitcoin because bitcoin is better than ripple when comparing to all other currencies available in crypto markets it is the role model of all other crypto currencies but all other currencies have good developments but when comparing to bitcoin it is the best .

Bitcoin, always. XRP (Ripple is the enterprise behind the coin, and the name of the coin is XRP instead of Ripple) is not even considered the "same" as other crypto, for it is leaded by a private company and is centralized. Now, even when XRP can have profits itself, I believe for long term is much better bitcoin. My thoughts are based not only in the love we all have for the first crypto, the king, and the responsible  for all this "crypto fever", but also because when you take a look to the news (over all them talking about governments regulations), you will always read the word "Bitcoin". So, Bitcoin is on the talking of the governments all over the planet. That's mean: it is going to become an important part of the global economy pretty soon.
Big companies are talking about accept BTC as a paydment system, and, at the same time, the production of them is becoming lower and lower. So, there is going to be a time where (probably) will be a part of the economy, will be used by many and will be more and more desired for many, while there are going to be the same of them on the global market.
So, to me, BTC is one (if not the best) investment for long term.

I think bitcoin will still reign in the next 2-5 years. Because there is a huge gap between the two and bitcoin is still worth holding than any other altcoins. I still don't see any coin having the capability to beat the bitcoin :)

imho ripple is creating a bubble which will burst sometime in the future. Can't say when, not even sure that it'll happen. It's just based on my personal ideas about banking system. BTC on the other hand, even though is limited when it comes to potential, it is still most used and most valued cryptocurrency and it'll stay like this for a long time. Ethereum may surpass BTC in the near future but not Ripple.

are you really confused?your option is bitcoin or ripple?ofcourse no doubt its bitcoin.in another 2 years for sure $50,000 value is not enough to hit by this great coin,so if i were you buy it now and dont hesitate,or miss the train and regrets everything in future

Waves can not create the power and hot pull like bitcoin to create favorable fluctuations over time. Trust the bitcoin, because it's safe for 2-5 years that you do not spend a lot of time on it. comfortable

Definitely Bitcoin for me.
Bitcoin still improving, and when the lightning system already added to its features, Bitcoin value will keep increasing

2 to 5 years of ripple will begin to rise rapidly and can be folding dozens, though prices are still high, the bitcoin for long-term investment will yield many benefits of ripple current with who just need a little capital.

All depends. Sure Ripple has legs to go further, but surely its not a real crypto as it works with the banks, not replacing them. Sure I see Bitcoin can easily go up 100% or more in 2018. Easy to double your money, or day trade for real swing gains. How about have a look at some privacy coins like DeepOnion and Zoin. Surely these could bring in more % growth. Or check out Neo for maybe 200%+ increase in 2018.

Ripple are backed by banks so don't let them have the control on this new system. Don't forget the reason why we support blockchain in the first place so sell those XRP and let's all buy bitcoins.

I agree! Sell Ripple

WAHAHAHAH quick guys its a conspiracy. Put on your tinfoilhats.
The bad banks want you to buy XRP lmao.
So better buy XRP dont listen to soybois who dont know anything about anything

Well, we know the risks in either case, buying bitcoins, or ripples will be a risk when we get the wrong information. however, i better buy bitcoin in ripple compare. I know, banks are starting to cooperate with ripple, but, I think bitcoin is still superior in some respects.

I'd still choose Bitcoin over anything in the next 2-5 years because it is still young for me, it will still keep on growing over the years until its supplies will last or when people can't mine bitcoin anymore. So for as long as it is still mineable then I would go for Bitcoin without a heartbeat.

In the next two year, bitcoin will still dominates the whole cryptocurrency world but ripple will also continue to gain more growth as many banks will be availing the service of this coin. Bitcoin has still a lot of rooms to grow and there are many all-time highs coming in the near future. The mainstreams adoption will also keep the bitcoin on top as many merchants will later use bitcoin.

I can't believe i have seen that post. The reason why most of us here is thanks to what Bitcoin has achieved so far. Without bitcoin, ripple wouldn't even exist and no no matter what ripple will never take the lead when the king is present.

That's right, no altcoins can compete with bitcoin. Bitcoin is the top leading cryptocurrency than other altcoins. The most adopts and well known, the most bought because its proven that we can earned profit though. So I still choose bitcoin over ripple.

its always a volatile time but right now is even more than before. ripple has potential to keep growing, but for me  - it's very risky coin and bitcoin has best long term potential.

I would say go with both. They are both likely to increase in value substantially. If you buy both, you won't end up felling like you've missed out.

Why use bitcoin when we can use bitcoin private. Isn't the whole point of crypto, privacy, anonymous transactions?

Of course bitcoin. Ripple is a narrow-value coin and therefore can not be a competitor to bitcoin. Ripple was created for banks, and bitcoin for the whole world. I use ripple only for speculation and this brings me a very big profit due to the fact that the coin is very volatile.

I do not agree with you because at a certain angle, I still underestimate the ripple, the value of ripple is too low and the whales are very easy to accumulate, that makes the pump slower, it will last longer, investing in the ripple will not be a wise idea. Bitcoin is definitely better than ripple because it is a character that mediates between the altcoin, people need to buy it before they want to buy altcoin, that makes Bitcoin more valuable, and the amount of bitcoin is decreasing over time, it will have more opportunities to reach higher values when it becomes scarce

Are you serious? You comparing  bitcoin Between ripple that's a big joke, look at their value.
That two are really profitable coins and have great potential but there's a different platform, bitcoin is the most popular and valuable currency than ripple. And the one that I choose is bitcoin the king.

I also do not understand that why of people is comparing bitcoin with Ripple. It is different, bitcoin is king of crypto and Ripple is an altcoins
I think that it is better to hold bitcoin than ripple.

I am now away from Ripple. The price does not give me confidence. I can not figure out what strategy to pursue. I think it would be a more accurate decision to stay at Bitcoin.

Bitcoin is the best choice for long term. It has great potential. On the other side ripple has ability to increase huge amount of its price. It can be reached on high price like ltc/eth.

I bet on Ripple. I think that Bitcoin has outlived its, I agree that the price for it can jump, but not much, in comparison with the ripple. The potential is not the same as before.

I think bitcoin will still come out strong in 3 to 5 years from now,
it's become so much of a rising and very promising commodity.
Bitcoin's market value will continue to increase until it stabilizes.
Bitcoin is a solid currency, reaching $20k is not an easy feat and no
currency rivals bitcoin in that area. It lasted this long and it will last a
bit more longer. Ripple is a currency that has been struggling and has
also potential, but it seems to lack the strong and unique aspects that
is exceedingly illuminated from coins such as Bitcoins and Ethereum.
Bitcoin will last and reign as long as people and investors will continue
to support and circulate them. It's an innovation that will outlast
and survive.

maybe ripple because ripple will be more profitable because it only need a little capital, and ripple also altcoin potentially so this will give you big profit if you hold it

Firstly I don't want to compare Bitcoin with ripple, it is just comparing king with a last level soldier. Bitcoin familiarity and the potential is awesome, ripple or any altcoin cannot even come half of Bitcoin potential or growth for another 10 years from now. I seriously don't like to comment on ripple because it is not a pure crypto, Bitcoin is the king of all cryptocurrency and will lead as king of cryptocurrency for ever and ever.

I vote for Bitcoin.

Even if it's riskier, people tend to want bigger returns faster, therefore support and invest in it.

Ripple is steadier, a coin to store your money for a period of time due to lower spikes of the price

For me I must go with Bitcoin.We all know that bitcoin is going more popularity and more people are engage on it.Even if the price is going up and down theres a possibilities that you will learn a lot by waiting patiently.
But it depends on you which you will choose, where you can think you earn a lot and earn a good profit.

I think what people misunderstand about ripple is the effect the supply has on the potential value. Ripple will never be a $100 plus coin. Another thing to consider is because it is such a centralised organisation there is nothing stopping them creating more coins and devaluing the coins you have.

I'll go for BTC for long term, and hold it till the price go crazy again you might know when it is so you just have to strike when the moment comes, you can keep also some Ripple with you since the more coins you hold the better you will get, soon.

Ripple gives a huge profit if for the investment of up to five years. bitcoin ever actually also the same but if you have to buy a bitcoin with large numbers currently don't have enough capital. so the ripple with a capital of $1000 already get quite a lot and be able to get great results in five years.

Ripple is nothing more than a Trojan horse of the banks, between bitcoin and ripple the choice is easy bitcoin should be the coin we choose, ripple may give you profits that is right but bitcoin is the best coin overall at the same time your characterization of the bitcoin devs as just fighting other coins is completely mistaken since they are doing their best to improve bitcoin and its protocol.

As for me the bitcoin will grow up, but not so strong temp as last year was raised!

I am for bitcoin all the way because I don't like the idea of Ripple being backed by banks. I put my money in crypto because I don't want the banking systems, but I would still trade ripple but there is no way for me to hold it for long term.

Bitcoin captures the same place where it is now even after 5 years. When comparing ripple with bitcoin it is easy to pick the one which will be bitcoin always. Ripple may give profits but it is centralized which is against the nature of cryptocurrencies. Bitcoin will be the head whether the price rises or falls and all other coins will completely dependent upon bitcoin forever.

it's obvious that  bitcoin has better long potential. Ripple is only speculative altcoin

Maybe Ripple can come up to $ 2 in the future. But imagine 5 dollar levels or something. Because it must be more valuable than Bitcoin. Market needs to beat Bitcoin. This is not possible either.

Bitcoin has been in the track for a long going back and coming forward, and this is common with bitcoin. Same time it is something an proven fact, even when it falls low can expect the price get retained in a short time period. Ripple is something new and we cannot predict the real outcome, because it is almost on a centralized platform.

The bitcoin is clearly heavier than a ripple and loses to it in many ways, but bitcoin is an indicator of the crypt world and it will remain for a long time, so comparing these weight categories is incorrect

I choose bitcoin, because now it will be at the bottom very soon. Ripple has also strongly corrected but its reliability compared to bitcoin is much lower. Now I'm investing in bitcoin because I believe that soon the price will fly to the moon.

Why would you change the gold standard of crypto for a centralised system ever? only because its on a crypto exchange?

Honestly, bitcoin has a great potential profit for long term investment and it also proven its stability in morethan 10 years, even in the next 5years bitcoin can survive.

I would definitely say go with both. They are completely different projects with completely diffferent aims, and it is not a good idea to put all of your money into one coin. These both have huge growth potential.

I would choose Bitcoin of course. The best investment right now and in the years to come will always be Bitcoin. It is the safer choice. In addition, it is the foundation of the entire crypto world. If Bitcoin breaks down, the entire crypto world might also come into rubble. That is what are seeing right now. If Bitcoin is suffering, the rest of the altcoin world will also be suffering. But of course, I will also be saving some Ripple. This is one of the best altcoins.

Ripple price for today is $0.33352, with the third largest market capitalization of $13,224,006,420, while Bitcoin price for today is $7002.10225, with the highest market capitalization of $120,724,470,251. By this we can come to know that no cryptocurrency can beat BTC by its price.

XRP is one of the fastest growing cryptocurrencies which managed to be the top 3 cryptocurrencies in such a short span. Holding BTC is regarded as an asset worthy because of BTC’s acceptance and popularity. But you should look thoroughly in the XRP to BTC chart, before taking any decision of trading and must check how much 1 XRP to BTC cost in the XRP to BTC (https://coinswitch.co/coins/ripple/ripple-to-bitcoin) converter, which is currently 0.00004763 BTC.

BTC, ofcourse. Ripple is sheetcoin

in 2 to 5 years span it's still bitcoin will dominance the crypto market and no chances for ripple to overtake bitcoin.

BTC is always be my choice. It is the number one coin for me .

According to my opinion, long-term btc BI yielded a little more confidence due to long-term price fluctuations.

I don't even think about this question, i know that my answer must be Bitcoin, and Bitcoin is the only one that can never be replaced.

I will give my vote all the same for bitcoin, a worthy currency, which changes over time, though sometimes not for the better, but has already overcome many obstacles that cooperate his life.

I would go with both. They are not competitors, and both have a great chance of being successful, bitcoin as the 'face' of crypto and as a store of value, and XRP as an innovative cross-border payments solution. For those who want to diversify, but remain within crypto, the ideal solution is go for both.

Btc of course, its has big future as an asset. Ripple so young and manipulative active I don't think things for ripple change in near future

100% Bitcoin.

Ripple is centralized and not close-sourced. They announced partnership with banks and all the traditional financial institutions in the earlier days. But now theres no news, and some banks even denied partnership with them.

Unless Ripple open up and be more transparent, the only place for them in the crypto ecosystem is in either private chains or enterprise.   

irs so bad pool, BTC is KING , XRP is sheetcoin for banks.

for me, BTC is better then all other currencyes

100% XRP.
Screencap this

I think potential of bitcoin is bigger than ripple's. For me it's better to invest in bitcoin.

I think Ripple will win because if it can be applied to the bank will surely create many new revolution and may in the future all banks will apply this technology and now has very Many banks are adopting the technology of ripple. In the future, the ripple can become the best means of payment

To compare the potential of Ripple and Bitcoin . My opinion is that Bitcoin crypto in the future will grow faster and have more significant potential than Ripple. Because the Bitcoin is supported by Google, the number one search engine in the world at the moment. Indeed, Google sees the Bitcoin as potential crypto, so it decides to support the crypto.

what? XRP or BTC? :D bitcoin <3
people like crypto world, becouse here is bitcoin ))
