Is ripple XRP the next big thing??    It just went ahead of ethereum on cmc.. is it too late to invest??...

Sigh...if you want to buy it when its up over 100% in the last 7 days then be my guest. How can you look at such a parabolic chart and wonder if its too late? Right now is literally the riskiest time to buy man(in the short term), sheez don't get FOMO so easily. If I was anywhere even close to a ripple shill I could probably find two articles or pieces of news to encourage you to buy and then you would most likely be holding the bag.

Also market cap valuation on CMC is skewed and shouldn't be taken so seriously, anyone could create a coin, sell it at a set price for an initial offering and when that coin hits the market and sells for X price (around ICO price) the market cap will be based off of that. So it's like anyone who creates a coin can set their own market cap.

I agree. This is the riskiest time to buy.

This is the time to sell.

Remember that on the last Ethereum rally, earlier this year, the situation was similar. Ripple took the second place, then Ethereum moved from 300 to 1500.

Ethereum is already second, but because ripple just lost a few cents.,,,

I think nobody should be buying ripple now. Ripple is a very promising coin, but stay in the sidelines is better for now. You will have other opportunities.

Yes, Ripple did took the second place in terms of the market cap during this pump. but within 2 hours its slipped back to the 3rd spot and again at second spot (due to pump cycle of second and third place). Always remember after PUMP there is DUMP so if you want to invest you can invest in coins which are in the dip, not the coins which almost PUMP 100% in last 2 days. So make your choice wisely :)

the risk it offer its not worth it for the return you get, yeah ripple might have dethroned ethereum for now since people will start dumping their coins the price is already up so high people will start selling their coins, decentralized is better than centralized.

Mate you always need to check the stability of a coin. Sometimes it may overtake but this will not be permanent, ethereum is the king of altcoins. Definitely this a good show from ripple this has come to focus on people's mind as this too is a better coin to investment.

Ripple really took 2nd place. So even if you invest, do not expect too much of it. But even so, it is still a very potential coin. If you want, you can invest now. But this is not a good time for that.

I remember last time xrp grew like this the whole market grew exponentially so as long as voluke keep growing in the overall market we can say that these signs will be greatfor market recovery in near term.

You have been left behind by the train, it will be a reckless decision if you choose to invest now unless you plan to invest in the long term.

OMG, a pump and here we are?  :o

If you seriously consider buying a coin, buy it when its bloody red and not when it goes all green. Personally I am not a fan of XRP and will never be, reasons: centralized, governed by handful people, circulating supply is only 30% rest still held by the team, could generate more coins if required - so no fixed supply.

Surprisingly, the increase experienced by XRP ranked 2nd in marketcurrency replacing the ETH position. I see XRP coin is the most stable coin, the price we can see from the graph and the high amount of supply, we know that ETH coins are potentially and very popular. my statement about ETH lost the stage of the show with the decline that occurred in the past and unstable prices.

I think it's not for long, and soon the Ethereum will again take its second place. Now buy Ripple does not make sense, although many beginners will buy it at a peak price. What can explain this increase XRP, any news on it?

XRP did not take second place for long. Now Ethereum has grown in price by 17.08% and feels confident.

Do you think that now all coins will start to grow or is it a temporary green market?

Yeh, it's a great pump. As for me, I can recomend you to sell now and wait correction. After buy and fix profit.

You need to be careful whenever you want to buy a coin you are interested in. Since you liked to invest on it, you should have done that when it was lower than what the current price is. Well, who knows, you might be fortunate to see it rise continuously. As for me, i do not think i can invest into a coin with an uptrend. I would rather wait for it to fall first and if it refuses to plummet, i would move on to other coins, because there are lots of them in the space.

i would not trist ripple evenif it is dping allright and we shall remeber how badthings were not so long ago with this crypticurrency

ripple was a good ohe and i will be happg if it will come ba k but i do not think that it is possibpe and i am sorry for it

Coin pumps 100% out of nowhere is not exactly the best thing to look for when considering buying in to a coin. You should be looking for the opposite or at least for something that's stayed relatively stable. XRP will fall in price in the coming days it's certain.

I think its not its really hard to took on second place of coinmarketcap because ethereum has a huge community with decentralized smart contract that makes the ethereum place for being the second promising of digital coin. Although ripple shows a lot of pumping but then it jist a matter that it has a lot of investors who are in favor with ethereum.

This is insane. The worst coin ever on the top. The market doesn't care about fundamentals. And yes, I think that it's to late to buy, I'd stay away from it (as usual)

Today this coin already for the second time has come to the second place in CoinMarkerCap. It is very interesting to look with what to end all this history.

That is only temporary because now when accessing Coinmarketcap, ETH's market cap is $ 25 million while XRP is just $ 22 million. Increasing the XRP by more than 50% has made the crypto market grow faster, predicting that by the end of 2018 the cryptocurrency market will recover because 2017, XRP also increased rapidly like this.

Fortunately, Ripple is in the second position on the ranking. Ripple is the leading coin of altcoin. I so believe in the strength of ETH that it will take its position back from Ripple. But for anyone holding Ripple,  this is the better time to sell it out because for Ripple its stay as the second to bitcoin is not going to be long. This period is risky for holding Ripple for long time

Do you want centralized cryptocurrency to become a leader? I do not think so. Anyway, there is one group of people who got the highest profit because of the last market movements. Yeah, I am talking about RIpple team. They control significant ammount and they will earn more than anyone else.

It is late to invest in ripple because it is much riskier now, or maybe not because though it is centralized now lots of people have ripple so they need to be careful, in that sense it is practically not very centralized.

The hype, the pump were sure not going to last as it's gone back to it's traditional spot being 3rd. I'm sure the guys who pump and dump it will be out again soon  to do their thing, and it will touch the 2nd position again momentarily.

Cicrulating supply of Ripple is about 30% of full amount. It means that it growth fast and falls fast. If you are looking for a good investment, never buy a thing that goes up without significant reason. Remember what happened to BTC and keep it in mind as long as you are going to invest in anything.

Even if so. But this is a very strong and promising crypto currency. Many put their bets on it. and not for nothing! I am also one of those who believe in the future of this miracle-coin. And it can still become a leader among all.

I think XRP will be the next big thing because i just heard Ripple will work with USA government, Ripple already tradeable a few years and from the technical analysis the price have potential to going up to 10 times more, and with strong fundamental can be surpass the highest price last year, so not late to invest in to it right now.

In my views, I believe that XRP could be the next big thing since it had just made a significant change in the crypto market where it had replaced ETH for a day. With this, XRP is making great progress in the crypto market where people should reconsider in buying XRP this time as I believe that it still may have the chance to be in the 2nd rank next to btc. From now on, if people are patronizing the use of XRP and using it as a payment currency in which case the goal is near to make a replacement with ETH in the 2nd place.

Stay away from Ripple. This coin is the last chance for traditional banks to catch the train of crypto currencies. XRP has nothing to do with crypto and it does not stand for any idea of crypto currencies. I cannot understand people, that are investing in Ripple.

that is what happens when you have such a huge and fake supply and you are in a list that is ranking you based on your supply (aka market cap which is supply * price) you simply do a tiny pump and increase the rank by a lot.
in the past there have been complete shitcoins which the whole  community knew they were shitcoins and got pumped to reach the top 5 coin ranks! in the end the shitcoins that are doing it will die eventually.
