The market is half green, with ETH and XRP on the red side on coin360.
So, I think it's time to buy the cryptos. Which one would you prefer to invest and why?

of course ethereum.

new fork is coming for eth in november. after this fork eth will be at least 400 dollar. 1.5x in 2 month

Wait a little bit until another bearish trend will come and that could be the best time to buy crypto. This time it looks like ETH and XRP are overpriced for me. I will try to choose both of coins because they have a lot of advantages and demands. They are worth to invest in every moment but it's much better to get in when they are dipping.

both is good but i think XRP last month have some proggres and good news, ETH last month have bad news with some ICO dev sell many ETH

At a time when the price is stable and stable like this time, investing in ETH for long-term goals will be more reasonable than XRP. Because XRP rates rose more than 70% two weeks ago, it is very difficult for XRP rates to continue rising. So investing in ETH then hold to 2019 is the best way.

Could you please tell which one of the projects is coming an ETH fork? I'll like to have a look at it and see what solutions they are bringing.

If you are long term investor - of course ETH, if short term trader - of course XRP. Its up to you, but in next several years no one can beat Ethereum blockchain.

Of course, XRP is my priority choice, XRP development is better when many projects become XRP partners, it will increase XRP activity in the market for the better.

XRP is always the choice of every trader, they make a lot of profits from XRP.

I am confused, ETH has a very good development in the market, has great popularity, and there are many more positive values of ETH.

and XRP is backed up by a bank, always has a solution for every financial problem, XRP has improved better a few days ago, and until now.
but I always prioritize ETH rather than XRP.

Have to say mate. But I prefer ETH still. Why? Because I know that the fundamentals and the real usage is still there. The problem though is that today its been look as a speculative asset, exactly the same as bitcoin.

So being a speculative asset, there are times that we're going to see a good pump. XRP on the other hand is a centralized coins, which can be prone to manipulation more than ETH I reckon.

I think everyone has a different purpose. now we know that the ETH is also falling from its throne. well, because of this, so many other developments have been done. What's more, the price of XRP has just been pumped very high. well, if the ETH doesn't show a good development, I think most people will switch to XRP, but for now, I might prefer ETH compared to XRP.

Well i've always believed that eth will always be the one to tail bitcoin. I mean, i would invest in ripple of course but when it comes to the two, ether has a more established crypto platform.

it's really hard to distinguish between the two. because the highest volume of high quality coin. ripple, if you like the fluctuations. if you like stable slow ascents, ETH. I'il tell you again, if you invest in both of them, you'il be profitable.

I think not even need to compare these coins. Most likely Ripple will give more profit than now. i invest in it

In my opinion, the XRP good for long term hold, and eth you should to buy only if you want fast rise and rich faster.

ETH still if its only between the two. The reason has been said why most doesn't like XRP.

Are you sure that there's an upcoming fork for it?

It's about to choose which have the sustainable development progress. eth can't make you become the next rich person dude. How many times others said that then only possible to make you become an instant millionaire to buy them when they are worth penny and sell them for a few bucks for each coin.

xrp and ethereum are now used as comparative coins which now might make people hesitate to choose which coin, but I think ethereum and xrp will continue to try to become the best and high potential coins. even though ethereum is the best coin today.

For me, ethereum can be a better choice than ripple. Although both of ethereum and ripple can reach make double, triple or they can reach incredibly high prices, I believe that ethereum is the one which can be the only real coin to compete with bitcoin.

Both currencies are on top of my list, I strongly suggest to send lit your initial investment to both with the most favoring what you this can give more profit, o would go 70 percent XRP and 30 percent Ethereum. Or would buy 1 ETH and the reat for XRP. It all depends on your preference and targets.

I still prefer ETH and i will buy ETH instead of XRP. XRP has been FOMO too much recently and i think it will corrupt soon. ETH has value in long term, you could hold ETH without fear of losing value, it also has high potential to grow up.

I am still inclined to Eth, it seems that the eth struggle to maintain its value is strong enough, this will make many ethics holders keep it and believe that eth will be able to increase again.

Both of these are top coins and should be good to hold for long term and get nice returns with lower risk than many lesser known ones.

I still chose ethereum, no matter what happened to ethereum I would still buy more and hold it back, I was a crazy person with him

I think I still invest in ETH instead of investing in XRP. As you can see, the XRP went up to ETH to take second place. ETH did not hesitate to raise their prices to regain second place. I think they have their own fund to inject value and I still support ETH.

I do prefer ethereum to buy right now, eth still on sideway condition, its good to open position at $230 then the first target that will hit by eth is $300.
It different with xrp because it already pump up to 100% by september, I suggest don't buy when it already green.

Of course Ethereum. I don't understand how you can compare ripple with ether in General, because ripple has virtually no product and this coin is not supported by anything.

I would go with both ETH and XRP for the long-term. They are both great projects with huge potential, and the fact that they offer different solutions and aren't competing with one another is another plus as this provides a little bit of diversification. Smart contracts and faster simpler payments should both be huge in the future.

I totally agree. It's hard to compare coz these currencies are focused on different things. XRP is a bank-oriented coin. ETH is just an improved version of BTC, but still they aren't competitors.
I'm for ETH

For me, among these coins, the favorite is obvious, this is ethereum since I think that a ripple is a coin that is too centralized and therefore it has no greater future in the area in which they position themselves...

Everybody doesn't want the centralization that is being done by Ripple.

Personally, I'd like to have ETH and will say never to Ripple. We are just waiting for the Casper Protocol/Code that has been proposed before. Once ethereum became PoS for sure that it will increase its demand by the people who wants to have it and earn by just holding it.

I chose to hold Eth and see an interesting development, the competition with Ripple made me want to hold back and add eth.
Eth's potential and position many want it. And eth holders will be strong.

Certainly, any sane smart investor will want to choose ETH for a long term investment and I see XRP as just a manipulated market that can easily be pumped and dumped at any time, even though recently they have been having something good going for them, but notwithstanding, the fact that it remains centralized still brings about the skepticism whichever way. ETH has been a widely used smart contract platform, so it is normal for anyone to possibly go for a coin that is widely being used and have a great community backing it up.

I would say the market has been showing some prospect for a while now, and a good thing for me to have loaded up on most of the altcoins when touching the bottom and certainly, I would love to see how they will all be playing out anytime soon.

---

Towards the end of the month we might see some sideways for bitcoin and this would give the altcoins a chance to grow as much as they want to before we start seeing another days of the downtrend. When looking at these two coins, absolutely, I am sure no one would want to choose XRP over ETH in the long term.

Ethereum and Ripple indeed become rivals,
they compete for second place, I'm sure you won't regret if you invest in ripple or ethereum

If you have large capital it is very important you should invest now in both coins but if you want to choose from one then ripple is better to me.  I have been following ripple pricing and I seriously believe that it might get upwards in pricing than ethereum.

Ripple fights with ethereum only in terms of capitalization. However, ripple cannot compete with ethereum for the other characteristics. Ethereum is far superior to ripple in all respects. Therefore, you should invest mainly in ethereum. However, if finances allow, some money can be invested in ripple. This coin will also always be in demand because of its use in the banking sector.

In fact, today even cryptocurrency users still use the banking system for their needs. Thus, the bridge between cryptocurrency and real money should be and this function will be performed by Ripple.

It seems to me that If you compare these coins, you need to take into account the very first differences between them. These coins play completely different roles and they are not competitors.

My opinion is if you want to invest in crypto now then you should invest in ETH. Because ETH price is now about $220 and hopefully it will reach $700-1000 within the next 1-2 months I think.
That's why my opinion is it will be the best option for you. So buy ETH as much as you can and hold at least 2 months.

If I were you, should choose between ETH and XRP then I would not hesitate to select ETH because this is potential long-term crypto. Investing in ETH will ensure a profitable return in the future if it holds at least until the end of 2018. The cryptocurrency market situation at this point indicates a clear recovery sign will occur at the end of this year.

both are good, you can buy ETHEREUM and RIPPLE. it doesn't need to choose. because eth and XRP are good altcoins. just different platforms .. xrp is altcoin with centralization, and eth is decentralized. but in my opinion both are good for the future.

I invested in both of them and I never differentiated the best because for me everything was good and there was no need to fear there would be fraud in the coin because they had a bright future

There is no stopping XRP ... it will be the currency of the NEW WORLD ORDER. I think ripple is becoming mainstream piece by piece, even gates believed in it

Lol, where did you get the idea that XRP will be mainstream? Its too centralise and the only thing it can do its to be a crypto-slave fiat system. ETH has a lot of support form this community so I have no doubt that it will still be the dominant altcoin unless its founders like Vitalik get out of the picture.

If you are thinking in getting XRP now is the right chance. Ripple Market drop almost 10 percent and still dropping. If you can get in below .50 usd its a good entry point. Current value sitting at .5250 US dollars. Quick money of this pumps.

The price of XRP has dropped by 7% and many have suggested buying but I have not been interested in buying it, which I fear will continue to fall and it is difficult to rise.

oh thank you about this information. I don't know about this fork before :) so is it make another token like ether gold or a standalone eth chain?

that's Constantinople code. But I think it will run on this month. before Devcon4 Ethereum. :) just remember that.

Both of these coins are indeed good, have a reliable development team, I think eth is indeed superior and lasts a long time, for xrp it seems that it still needs time and adds investor confidence to stay in its position, because there are still many who don't understand xrp.

I think Ethererum is a good choice at the moment, the price is rock bottom and it'll eventually recover.

funny, it looks like he must know ripple first. crypto is decentralized and not centralized, why do they make it centralized? what is the purpose? it is not surprising that ripple is supported by various banks.

don't because the profit coming from the pump makes you blind to this.

If i have limited fund and have to choose ill go for ethereum
Xrp is anything but opposite of bitcoin but why would i choose if i can invest in both.
When people are against it, You buy. Centralized or Not i dont care
XRP is not on its rank for nothing ,Id rather join them as well than get left behind.

there is a lot of profit in making an altcoin centralized and control everything about it. you will be in full control and you can make millions of dollars. for example in case of Ripple they own 100 billion tokens that they released slowly and dumped on the market to make money each time they did a pump. and they have the future of the token in their hands so it won't go in any direction that they don't want it too.

also no bank is supporting XRP, they are supporting  Ripple the technology and already a couple of them have jumped ship and used it for their own centralized blockchain.

If you only compare XRP with ETH, then I am more willing to invest in XRP because it is now being used more for payment!

xrp have some proggress this month, i will buy more xrp, its still undervalued i guess, next december may be 4 $

my advice is you can buy these two coins and you should be able to take advantage of the price movements of XRP and ethereum because these two have potential that can be very expensive and of course the better is ethereum because it has a smart contract that can create lots of tokens that start from ICO.

Ethereum has been a around and established already just like the XRP however it is the ethereum network which I believe more than the XRP.

actually both coin is good to invest for long term base of their pattern and potentials. But if you're talking which is good for short term perhaps i prefer to buy or hold XRP than ETH , Because the performance of XRP previously is good compared to ETH even though sometimes it turns to green '.cause unfortunately ETH always experience sudden change of price time on time unlike XRP.

The Ripple has more momentum compared to Ethereum.
If I have to choose between the two I'll always go for the Ripple XRP.

Ethereum was a very wise choice, most of them would have chosen ethereum even though this had experienced a decline in ethereum would have quickly risen

Xrp I see that it has returned to the level where the investor plunged into the ripple,
but for ethereum still not, just hold it

 If choose XRP and ETH i will still vote for ETH though recently the XRP is very good and the outlook for XRP has made it at the second place of ETH. ETH is not back yet, but we see the price is very cheap but when the market becomes warmer. The ETH price will be more potential than XRP many times so i choose ETH for long.

In the coming months, there will be more growth in ETH than XRP.
x2 per month for RIPPLE - easy! Ethereum - don't think ...

Indeed, XRP is showing more impressive value than ETH at this time. so, XRP overtook ETH 3 times in last week. The improvements of Xrapid show the freshness. But I still give priority to ETH because of its explosion and breakthrough in 2017. The price is very cheap and I am willing to wait for the improvement and adjustment from ETH.

i prefer ETH especially for long term investment because ethereum  is still good and very promising like bitcoin which even though it keep struggling nowadays along with some alts it keep showing potentials. And also the reason why i preferred ETH it is because i am pretty sure that it will increase back again soon when bitcoin gradually increasing as well.  especially on this ber months  which is i have doubts that there's a possibility to increase again back to the ATH. 

If the choice is only xrp or ethereum, of course I would prefer ethereum,
even though ethereum's price is declining but I still believe ethereum will recover soon

Many investors currently choose ripple while first giving an increase in price rather than ethereum, but ethereum I think it still has potential and in the future it will give a big profit if we invest there.

Ripple is certainly a good and promising cryptocurrency, but I still prefer Ethereum because it's potential is huge compared to any other altcoin. Ethereum is the most needed altcoin actually, and its volume of trading is big, also the demand for this coin keep rising with time since it is needed for investing in the ICO projects.

Well include both in your portfolio
Trust me, or if you believe one could perform better than the others, go all in it (Not advisable)

Ethereum has been under the radar but Ripple had pump abit
Ripple are the "Bank" network crypto
Ethereum seems like more of a community application crypto

50% 50% should be pretty fine

if you want to buy and want to get more profit in the short term I recommend for ripples (XRP) because for now the price is very tempting to buy, and is a good and promising cryptocurrency, but for long-term investments, I still prefer Ethereum.
I am sure that everyone prefers ETH for various reasons, because after all ETH is the most popular coin after BTC and is more attractive to investors and traders.

I think both XRP and ETH are worth the investment now as the position of these two currencies is too strong. And it leads the trend in the Altcoins category.

I still believe in Ethereum then in Xrp i think this is good also like good developer and this is always have development then back to it current high price so both are good for investment but i more on buy Ethereum because this is trusted already here in crypto and this is really popular like btc with really good developer

I prefer Ethereum because the coin is more well established in the financial market and has been incorporated by big companies like Microsoft, Intel, JP Morgan. The coin being the second most popular crypto right now, holds a market capital of $23 billion. The coin has an exceptional blockchain, successful projects behind it and one of the best development teams behind it. The coin can be used as an investment asset, for transactions, as a platform for posting new ICOs and also as a token for smart applications. It is a great coin which presently has the potential to cross the $700 mark by the end of 2018.

I think Ethereum doesn't accompany bitcoin anymore, as we know a few years ago bitcoin was accompanied by litecoin, so there might be other cryptocurrency that would accompany bitcoin when it goes to the moon and I don't think it's XRP

You're right when you said the position of the coins was strong and they both maintain there position whenever since they cliche the top slot but Ethereum posed great quality in terms of investment abd trading than ripple because is centralized and don't much community support. However, the new deal Ethereum team had with Microsoft, Intel, JP Morgan and hyperledger will boost Ethereum in the market.

I think everything depends on each of us, if you have a small capital, it is better to invest in XRP and if you have large capital, invest in ETH because both of these coins in my opinion are good and will give you profit

This may be correct but still investing on the good coin is your thought means then go with the bitcoin and then next ethereum is the good choice for you to make money.
Xrp is not worth to invest anytime even I will not compare this coin with any decentralised cryptocurrencies for sure.

Ethereum signals are good now hope it will bump to 1k with the upcoming bull run.

XRP .... Ripple is sometimes referred to as blockchain for banks. This is the biggest difference between Ripple and other Bitcoin alternatives: where the other systems follow the ideology of making banks and financial institutions obsolete, Ripple wants to integrate middlemen into the network. Banks should be able to handle even international transfers within seconds.

Blockchain technology used too by banks..

I am confident that eth will stay longer than xrp in terms of profitable trading development. Eth has more contracts and it's the only cryptocurrency that has following the footsteps of bitcoin, and without eth bitcoin also has no potential demands. Both of the two currencies we're helping each other's community to gain better demands with respect to trading activities.

One truth may be that ETH will last longer than XRP. This is because current ICO projects use ETH's blockchain technology, so until ICO projects do not exist, the future of ETH is threatened. So you should invest in long-term and always be patient with Ethereum because of the potential of it.

It depends on the investor. If the investor have a lot of money, it would be better if he's gonna go for ETH. But if the investor is not that rich and just started investing in cryptocurrency, it would be better if he's gonna go for XRP. Since XRP is cheaper than ETH. The investor can buy more and can be really rich in the future.

ETH and XRP have indeed become rivals,
to fight for the second position they are competing to be the best.

if possible both of them have to choose one because both of them in my opinion are very good for investment and will definitely benefit in the future

Now should choose the XRP, it's my personal opinion, not exactly accurate and I think no one can accurately predict, but the XRP's expectations are ok for us.

for the long term I prefer to save xrp. Xrp is much longer than eth. xrp projects mostly have a good impact on xrp prices. ETH is difficult to crawl up because there are so many holders waiting without playing a price.

I will choose ETH, indeed in recent times the price of Ripple has increased dramatically and can even overtake ETH in the second best cryptocurrency position, but that only happens temporarily. ETH will always be chosen by everyone who wants a decentralized system growth, in contrast with Ripple which until now continues to show that Ripple has a centralized system.

I will choose ethereum because i know this altcoin will have kickback soon, this token is very popular nowadays and its sure to be more promising in the future.
Recommended to all or for who want to hold it in a long term.

Already several times XRP showed good potential and shifted Ethereum's position at Coinmarketcap, it made many people more optimistic about XRP and began to flock to invest in it. Whereas e \ Erhereum has so far remained stable with a price range of $ 200 +. Even so, I still believe that Ethereum will be able to rise again sooner or later.

For me, Xrp is just for short speculations, ETH for long-term holding like BTC. This is just my IMHO.

ETH is still the best choice for us, now the ETH penny is best for surfing investment, if you buy them now and keep track of the prices, there will be opportunities for you to sell at. Higher prices, in my opinion if holding ETH in the long term will be ok.

I will invest in XRP, because XRP is a potential coin, in my opinion, we should focus on holding, now buy is still ok, because in my opinion XRP is the best coin Future.

ETH is still a very wise choice. Over XRP, ETH is like BTC over ETH. See the factors that positively affect both the altcoin are bent more in case of ETH being the one with the second highest market capitalization and one of the most quickly growing coin. Majority of people who are still unable to understand how to evaluate cryptocurrency still prefer to refrain from putting in their savings. Some out there still wants to own the precious asset even though the market is down and it will recover.

Riiple (xrp) with a connection between the emotional bond with a serious fan mass I see this situation is very dangerous, which is important for us to continue our way to the coin to which we increase our income, I do not find it right to connect to a crypto money such as ETH or XRP.

I'm for ETH, bc it seems to be more trustable for me. But I know that XRP's gonna surge soon.

I think both are equally good as a long-term investment. because now more and more projeck and will make ico more popular so ethereum more and more enthusiasts

Ethereum is declining in value while XRP is gaining and continue to increase in value. Speculations continue that ethereum is dying which I do not agree and XRP's good news everywhere are making waves which make it more valuable to consider to invest.

I think ETH is better because ETH has a good network and many new token tokens use a network from ETH.

There is no doubt that etheruem's future will continue to improve, this is because of the support of the many devs. who makes a project or token so that makes ethereum a very important coin in the future.

today for me the better of XRP today especially at its price, its price is higher, and the volume of these coins is good. but if they rate ETH at ETH my vote because the value of the coins is greater.

May we saw Ripple huge increase but for sure it won't be longer to have that pump.  Of course, people we're happy to see it flying and provide gains for investors. But for sure,  people will still choose ETH as their number 1 among altcoins.

As far as I am now I still hold onto ETH, I remain loyal to ETH, because I believe in this coin, ETH will be the strongest coin market in the future, so I will hold Keep them until the end of the year

although ethereum is popular and best than ripple, but I think ripple when it has good development and potentially will continue to be one of the best coins. so maybe the two coins will be able to compete together and will continue to strive to become the best coin in cryptocurrency.

Well there's no doubt that XRP have a great trust for the community who have a hold nor supporters, but for the people who keep their eyes on it maybe they would prefer the ETH since first it is establish, second the hype are starting on it and 3 is the fact that it is backed up with big financial institution.

This shows many supports for ethereum through these days even price of eth has drop. In xrp we can also observe many who truly invest in this coin since the beginning. But, until now I do believe in eth future.

Of course I will choose Ethereum because ripple do not have a decent technology and I simply believe that this is an overpriced coin.
