Finally decentrelised concept winning and original block chain took its place people realised XRP / Ripple short time pump now ethereum taking its place ethereum crossed XRP market cap now number 2 in coinmarketcap . Cheers for real crypto supporters.

It's all has been predicted, a huge sudden boost of xrp won't win with eth, eth has been used in a lot of ICO and eth has been around for a long time with a lot of users all around the world, a lot of expert already know that it's just the matter of time before the gained back it's throne, xrp is a good coin but still need time to develop all it's potential

I don't think you can really call this for either of the coins, they are totally independent of each other and so will peak and trough at different times in their cycle. What we do have now is hot competition for the No2 spot  :)

Currently, Ripple and Ethereum are competing like crazy for the number 2 spot and they seem to be switching places due to fluctuations in their values. I like both coins, but I like Ethereum a whole lot more since I feel that their development team is better, developers are transparent etc and this is why Ethereum will most likely keep its 2nd position for a long time. On the other hand, I do not see Ripple going over $5 anytime soon and I feel that this coin will stick to the $3-4 range for a long time before moving upwards again. Ethereum is the better coin for me.

Ripple is doing a correction, most likely will go up again, i would wait to declare it dead.

to hell with ripple,

and everything else that is made by banksters

I really knew this would happen because etherium has really more potential than ripple. But still good thing ripple pumped up because if that didn't pumped i think eth will stay in 700 usd mark. But with good competitor eth pumped up and reach a new heights for it but still i believe in eth and eill still pump for the future.

It's done moves like that before. After a pump it crashes, then starts pumping even higher. You can never predict when the real crash will happen.

They will be overtaking each other this year and both of them will increase in value a lot.. maybe they will even overtake bitcoin in market cap if BTC doesn't solve its problems

I knew this would happen. But does not take away the potentials of Ripple. People still believe in it. I will not be surprised if it maintained the top 10 crypto for a very long time.

They will rise and fall and they will both be second for a while - But lets see what we can get!

Yes Eth is the real thing, im expecting good bull run for eth and we might see more than $2k value in few more months.

Finally Ethereum return to second place! Price is growing smoothly and it is a good. Waiting for solve the problem with overloaded network.

I think ethereum is better than ripple. Ethereum is not exactly a company like ripple. Almost the whole market, blockchain industry, and people take advantage of ethereum but it is not valid for ripple.

Market cap decided to exclude korean exchanges for Ripple. Dont get mislead

Ripple is a good coin, you are so in vain about it speak and think that soon it will disappear. Yes, it is unstable and slightly inferior to many other coins, but after all, it's promising and in the end that I've put it in vain.

This was to be expected but I did not think that it would happen now. On the other hand the supporters of Ethers can be happy again with its course! In addition, Ethereum is more productive and is used in a lot of areas.  ;)

As if Banksters gave a flying f*ck about what you're thinking... Ethereum might be a better currency, it's a decentralised one and the banks will never invest in something they cannot control.
Ripple is heading toward first place, depending on how you calculate the market cap, it has already outweighed Bitcoin.

Sorry, guys. I don't like Ripple, no one does. But, hey, who has money ? banks. What did they created in 2008 ? Ripple. They were just waiting the right moment to take action, and that moment is 2018.

Yes, Bitcoin is likely to reach 1 million per unit. But one thing we can all be sure, is that by that time, Ripple will be worth 100$, even more. Because banks don't give a fuck about cryptocurrency. They only care about their system, their money, their risks and securities. Whether you like it... or not.

That's all folks.

I think it's a pump & Dump time. Ripple/XRP will Cross the Ethereum and get place the second position after few weeks.

The fact you are Ripple is definitely a centralized coin by the bankers, you can't deny about it, and most people in the cryptocurrencies scene is hate everything about the centralized thing.

Yeap, this was definitely coming. Ripple's pump was meant to be short lived, and Ethereum is now here to take its rightful place back. However, I hope they resolve their network congestions in the future, would be really helpful to its cause.

Lol you gotta be a clown to not see that ripple will go way further than eth. Ripples growth last year was 38000% where as eths was 12000%.. Now they are even eth has gotta do some serious work to keep up.

Yeah guys no sorry everything is normal i dont know where people looking at

Livecoinwatch.com

Ripple was not having any value to reach second position where wales pump the coin now they are taking coin and droping now ether taking into position . Because ether used by lots of successfull ICO's

Cheers for the RIPPLE success. Yes for this ripple reaches the second position in the coin market cap and beats the ethereum altcoin in the marketcap today.

Though I support RIP Ripple, your post is misleading. CoinmarketCap has excluded the Korean exchange prices and thats the reason it has fallen back. Infact XRP hasn't lost 20B Market Cap. You can go to CMC and check the prices in the markets tab.

What was done is good by CMC but how they did it was wrong. Many people think the price decreased suddenly and the FUD hits hard that time. Most of it for Noobies.

Anyways, honestly speaking ETH deserves its second spot.

Yeah you are right. Etherium deserves the second spot after XRP will dethrone BTC.
So ripple and etherium can reign above all the shitcoins including btc

Ethereum is very promising Ripple and it deservedly takes 2nd place in terms of capitalization. I hope ETH after the release of Kasper will grow!

I agree. Plus, almost all of the top market cap cryptos are decreasing their price today. Yes, ripple's cut is large but I think it will shortly go up again.

Ripple is a excellent coin and Ethererum is a milestone of cryptocurriences. One don't exclude the other. Different business model but both excellent for what they have to do

I was suprised. This is epic comeback by Ethereum. The real decentralized blockchain always have many sollution and still be the best protocol for new comers. So stay tuned. ETH will crush the Moon.

What do you guys mean by "epic-comeback" LMAO

"*in-hale" Metherium

It's not surprising for me as ripple has done it once last june if I'm not wrong when a lot of money in crypto flow to ripple and now is a similar situation. A lot of people don't like centralized coin but as long as they can earn profit from that they will join the ride, myself included. But we all know that ethereum is definitely better than ripple so keep holding the great one.

Maybe RIP !!!
All altcoins going up expect ripple

As of now, Ethereum is now back at the #2 spot however Ethereum has a lot more fans since it's a well-known flexible erc20. Since then, ethereum have a lot more potential than any other altcoins and others says that Ethereum is the Queen of the King Bitcoin. In other words, Ethereum deserves the spot a lot more than Ripple. But on some cases, Ripple will compete against Ethereum and shall take the #2 spot for real.

ethereum is just as centralized as ripple, in a little different way. they have similar banker whales behind them with deep pockets that are experimenting with cryptocurrencies and the world to see how much they can milk this. and they are making a lot of money thanks to newbies.

i still suggest putting some eth, ripple, cardano, litecoin and neo on the same basket to be safe from sudden changes in the market.
my heart is on ethereum for sure, but nowadays it has terrible pending tx on the queue. it should be solved immediately for the future of ethereum system.

this event is most likely a very hot competition about these two alts, ripple and ethereum, even though we all know that sooner or later the boost of ripple is not take for too long unlike ethereum, and now ethereum is going to pump huge and soon goes to the moon. or maybe ripple is just taking a correction for the next big time boost. :D

Ethereum is likely showing to the rest of the cryptoworld how to claim back the spot that is rightfully for ETH. I don't know what's happening to XRP why it plunges its market cap that deep where in fact this centralized crypto currency is backed by banks across the globe. For sure, ETH is feasting on its return now and it's a new high for ETH this year so far at 1,000$ mark.

I definitely think there's room for both and that ripple is right now is where it should be and ethereum will probably climb a bit more. Soon ripple will be on the move again

I don't think that Ripple can become more successful than ETH. Not in nearest time, for sure

Im a fan of Ripple but the only thing that concerns me is that from what I know, Ripple the company and XRP the crypto are two overlapping but different things.. so raise in value of Ripple dosnt necceasry mean a higher value in XRP.. any thoughts/comments from people who know more about this?

I hold both XRP and ETH

If you check livecoinwatch.com its all like yesterday.
Etherium is still on 3rd

on coinmarketcap ethereum is on 2nd highest market cap. 13b market cap more than ripple now.
bitcoin is still a long way to go. but maybe someday it will surpass bitcoin too.

Yes indeed etherium on the second position on the coinmarket. ETH rate grew by more than 15% reaching a new historic high of $ 1.266. January 4 Eth for the first time since the launch overcame the boundary of $ 1,000. Market capitalization of Eth overcame $ 111 billion throwing Ripple to third place.

ripple can not replace ethereum because many believe that the ripple is just a coin tied to the bank.
and for now ethereum has risen in second position under bitcoin.

That shitty banker's coin was finally backed to its proper position,we dont want our community to be dominated by a centralized coin.

XRP has nothing withing "real" cryptocurrencies. And shouldn't be supported by cryptoinvestors, and people who believe in future of new currencies. XRP is just a digital fiat currency. Cheers to you mate.

Looks like that Coinbase disapproval really hit Ripple big time.
Many investors might have withdrawn their funds thinking it will be dumped by others too.
Now, it is Ethereum which is most trusted and they might have bought Ethereum from their Ripple instead of bitcoin that is why it is so high now.a

I believed that everything would fall into place. Artificially pumped up Ripple shouldn't be in top.

Yup, that was quite obvious. I think that ripple will fall down even harder, because that pump was just cruel.

Yeah ethereum is a pretty good coin which has been increasing a little by little from a long time. Which is pretty good for long term investments. And ripple's rise in value was only for a short amount of time. So definitely ethereum was always better than ripple and still is. Those who got profits from from ripple would be only through short term investments, which would be pretty risky, where as ethereum would be pretty easy to invest in because of its slowly and steadily growing price, so ethereum for the win.

No xrp pretty good. holding it stable.
Will be nr 1 in zero time :)
Etherium will be second :) and then comes btc

AGREE!!!! CHEERS!

Ethereum is my favourite coin and I am really happy about that it has took its previous place again. Although almost all of the currencies fell, its price is still almost stable. I think it is the best altcoin.

Finally the culprit coin has dethrone from the right hand's king position,im so happy for ethereum to get back from its proper place.

There is something huge that we are missing on coinmarketcap today as a lot of people are mad on them due to their irresponsible act they did today. The actual picture of the ripple market cap came now. Coinmarketcap cap has excluded the ripple market cap of South Korean exchanges from its formula to derive an average. So, the low you feed the low will be the average. XRP price in actual is only down by 10% and I think it's not a big deal.
For extended information, South Korean exchanges trade ripple around $2.5 billion a day.
So, cheers  ;)

It was time  :) A decentralized blockchain with smart contracts VS centralized banking payment system

By my prediction Ripple will fall down to 1$, its real price is about it, not more.

I sometimes cannot understand other's perception of market. They first advocated that ripple should be $10 and then they say ripple will go down to $1 level. This is not consistent anyway. Ethereum's place should be on the top of ripple, always.

By my prediction xrp will be Nr1 coin and then comes etherium at nr2 and then butcoin
Xrp 10$

It can easily happen, just sit tight and see. Xrp is playing the long game  :)

I'm very glad that ethereum gets back to the second place. I hope it will stuck there for the whole year. But I will also glad if NEM will get up to the 2-3 place as well.

Exactly, I saw it coming and the sudden rise in the price of Ripple was just a temporary thing and Ethereum is back to its original position. Ethereum is back to its place now, I wish to see the price to go even higher.

so many people complaint after its drop, will they slap themself when it is up again?

Ofcourse ethereum would take its place back. Ripple is nothing but only a pump&dump coin. But ethereum has technologies that we use in this ecosystem. Most of the icos are based on ethereum technology. Using ethereum blockchain.

I believed this, everything should be so, ethereum is one of the best coins for today and its place fully justified

Finally its done. Etherreum took seat it deserved. Everyone in crypto business knew ripple is nothing but empty gas. Ethereum is real colored coin platform that works greater than anything.

ETH will be the next king. Xrp  was just by mistake in this place. No place in cryptoworld for riple

That was predictable, XRP is just over hyped right now and needs a correction.

Etherium is not scalable.  Fees are to high. Time tooooo slow
Xrp all good!

the problem is that XRP owners, can manipulate the market as they wish,

they can print US dollar, devaluate the US dollar, and buy their own ripple back with it.

the problem is that ripple is listed at all, among other Cryptocurrencies.

Ethereum and many other altcoins had a dip today, but Ethereum is already going up again. This year will be the year of Ethereum and the price could rise to 2K in February. As Ripple is a bankers thing, it will also recover and grow. But Ethereum is the real thing and has all potentials to be the best.

Good to see that people aren't as greed as I previously thought. Fortunately, XRP price started to decline. We can't let it overtake Bitcoin. I'm quite surprised that Ethereum started to increase rapidly in the last days. What a shame I have sold my GPUs dedicated to mining and Ethereum when it reached 0.05 BTC exchange rate. This situation is quite similar to the Bitcoin Cash huge pump which happened twice. I guess that banks won't let us forget about XRP.

Yeah for a while ripple got us worried there, but the prince got back what was his fast enough.  ;D

Stay where you belong ripple!  :D

Good to see that XRP is really used for what it was designed for. Payments. If you check the ledger payment volume its always above 1-6 bln xrp moved every day ;)
Matter of time till xrp gets to nr1 spot.
Ripple only needs westerunion and/or paypal to announce their news ;) mark my words

ripple will get 2nd place in some days/weeks , and first place in less then 6 months for sure.

Indeed, the Ripple moon ride ended, now it's coming back to earth. We all knew it wouldn't last. Let's see with what price will Ripple settle for now. :)

Buzzword blabla buzzword blabla decentralized blablabla people blablabla marketcap blablabla value blabla but but but blabla never 1 $ blablabla

Wut?

This is very good news the XRP's coinbase fud has already ended investors already moved back to ethereum thats why it cameback to its proper place.

If Ripple is staibalized it wil reach $10 this year. ETH 5K end 2018

I don't think etherium is doing enough to earn it's value, however almost anything is better than ripple. Ripple is no better than a visa gift card. Actually it's worse because the devs can just mint as much as they want. Ripple is just going through a professional pump. It's a Wall Street pump.
