Here is my assumption: Any attempt by Ripples to hold the number 2 position will not be sustained, the psychology of investors is such that once ripples grows over eth, it will cause a more buy effect on eth until it eventually sits above XRP.

This was noticed in the last pump of XRP which eventually made Eth to pump for almost 20% before overtaking XRP. The fight could be real but Eth will always win.

its XRP bro - ripple is the company

The money will hopefully move from shitcoins into ETH then back into shitcoins then into BTC.

Repeat a similar movement like earlier this year

Ripple has proved itself to be an useful assets for the investors. But we should not undermine Ethereum which introduced a completely different branch and scope for blockchain. Though they were possible hypothetically, ETH is the first one to introduce it officially and whatever new fancy coin may come, it would be harder for any to compete with the legacy this coin have made. I believe ETH would soon topple bitcoin for the 1st rank rather than falling after XRP.

Etheruem has always maintained that spot for a longer term than ripples and so certainly, it will keep pushing ripples out that position either through pump or market sentiment. Moreover, the usage of etheruem is far greater than ripples, all that is needed is for a new erc ico to come up  ;D

Topple bitcoin? Nah, I dont think so.
Way too far from it. Actually, I am seeing ETH relying on the price of bitcoin.
Try to look deeper. It moves up when bitcoin grows and vice versa. How could you topple something which is the most known before you.

It is a good competition but I still see new investors knowing bitcoin first before finding out there is also an ETH that exists.

Ofcourse eth will win in this competition, like what we can see in price of this two, they are both affected of the recent drop but the only one endure this is eth, and nothing to compare xrp on it, honesty i have more faith in eth than xrp.

First thing is that XRP and Ripple are two different things, but I guess in your statement you meant that Ripple means XRP only.
XRP has too much circulating volume and thus when there's a price increase it's overall market cap increases rapidly and for couple of hours it sits above ETH in last week, I think this time XRP will start the bull run in the entire crypto market again, just like the previous year. There's speculation that coinbase will list it as they have recently announced that they'll be adding coins on the basis of there customers requests.

He must tell these bankers to put a lot of money to the ripple to take over bitcoin. Ripple and ethereum in the battle. Bitcoin just get a little grows due to the ETF delay. It will not so volatile like another asset such as ripple and ethereum. Both coins are only following bitcoin right now. XRP gets its hype to the good news about development progress.

Market is down most of coins loosing there position, but here is one interesting thing that some coins are increasing their market cap like XRP.
Ripple is a project with huge potential but we can’t under estimate Ethereum, it’s a temporarily dump in ethereum value soon it will re bounce, the reason is mostly coins & tokens converted into BTC or ETH which increase their market cap.

i choose ETH and I think this is the time for ETH investment. we can buy and save it. because you believe that in the beginning of 2019 prices will increase again ... there are still investors and various kinds of parties looking for ... hopefully that can be true

I think only XRP is strong. ETH is still down. In the near future, it is likely that ETH will increase but not significantly then it will decrease sharply.

Ethereum will always win and ripple price pump is always temporary. In terms of marketcap, these two are always in the close fight but I can say that most investors preferred to store Ethereum rather than Ripple. I read an article before stating that Ripple should not be considered as cryptocurrency since their blockchain is centralized. On the other hand, Ripple already built a remarkable partnerships and gaining popularity these past few days. I can say that Ripple can give you better ROI than Ethereum.

for the long term  hodling I will choose the ETH, although many predictions say the ETH still going down but I believe ETH will rise again, once I was hodling  XRP for more than half a year and it is not profitable for me, because XRP always returns to the initial price some time after the pump

Ethereum users are more than EXR, so if investors want to increase the price of ETH, it will be easier than XRP. In addition, the influence of the smart contract that ethereum has, so Ethereum continues to function when making transactions. Fee exchange uses ETH.

Marketcap is both not far and XRP could overtake ETH, but that is not easy because ETH will always be above XRP. And for me ETH is the best investment for longterm.

Ripple is not a crypto currency so ripple doesn't fights anyone... Ripple allways says he is decentralized, but in reallyty at the beggining it wasn't and now it is? How? Etherium is still way better than Ripple, even if it would be 100x times cheaper than it is...

Ripple has proved itself to be an useful assets for the investors\
The value will increase sharply in the near future, I believe so!

I agree with your opinion, although ETH has a significant decrease but it will be difficult for Ripple to occupy the 2nd position of ETH.

How did you know that ripple is not an cryptocurrency?
Can you prove of what you saying?  
The performance of ripple now is really surprising because of pumping and a lot of people are considered that it compete to ethereum. No matter what happen, ethereum and ripple are good for investment.

I think ripple and Ethereum are different technologies and serves different purpose.  Ethereum is controlled by general public, while ripple is managed by a company.  there's no need to race for #2, except for valor and pride.

For me, Ripple (XRP) is never and investment option, it will always be pump and dump centralized coin. Yes, your analysis is right, Whenever XRP grows and tries to fight with ETH, investors realize ETH should be given more value and we see bulky buy orders for Eth. Right now, Eth is much bigger and well established than XRP so it will continue to maintain that position until some really worthy competitor comes into the market.

personally, i don't believe in the future of ripple in my humble opinion is a shitcoin and useless alot of alternative can execute its main utility borderless payments good luck if you choose it :)

I have nothing against fighting untill both of them gets ATH again.I´m invested in both of them,but ETH is my fav. for now

He meant Ripple is not a currency but the company, its XRP that's cryptocurrency.
XRP I think can be put to test next month when all the conferences they were announcing lately can come up with some thing that will keep investors happy. If it end up putting XRP in the 2nd spot for quite awhile, I think the price will stay up for about $1 and may continue to go up while ETH still replaces back to the 2nd.

ripple is not decentralized, why is it so popular now? surely it is one of the most interesing projects but i guess eth is stronger and, in my opinion, more stable

Really can't get it what's going on in the market. Some days ago XRP gets a really good pump after that ETH when XRP was going the down and today BCH around 20% up. Seems like one by one every coin doing well except BTC. It's not just about the ETH and XRP. Now in the next turn BTC will go over 15% or 20% in a day?  ;)

ripple might win this time, since eth has been on too much down move, scared investors away too.

I think that it is senseless to deal with the centralized currency when you work with the crypto, which is decentralized, and this feature is its main advantage. Ripple is not supported so much now as before.

XRP competes more with Bitcoin, as another payment system. Ethereum is not just a payment asset, it is a platform for decentralized applications. Transactions of assets in it is secondary thing and Ethereum team is working now over increasing their speed.
