Bitcoin Forum

Hi friends,

can you please suggest which one may be good for long term investment  Ripple or BAT?

Thanks  ;D

Between the 2...I'd go with BAT

To me, the three worst investment choices among the top 50 coins are XRP, USDT and SC.

In general, I don't like Ripple. It's obsolete. So If I need to choose between those two, I will go with BAT. Currently BAT is just 20c which is OK.

I should agree because BAT has much lower capitalization and much higher chances to multiply it! But ripple is good for savings ;)

I would choose bat because bat is new coin and also very good project as ripple so holding bat long term may be better option, ripple's market cap is also too high, bat is better for little investors.

BAT is relatively new. While ripple has been rising and falling and is still in high falling stage (likely to fall more).
BAT would be better if you want to buy now.

I prefer ripple over the BAT. Ripple is among the top 5 coin market cap wise and being their for now long time. It has gone though different phases and this make its more stronger than a new coin. Also as per the price analysis large movement seems to be on the cards as per one of the article I had read about ripple.

If I were you I would choose. Bat is new and it has really great potential. Digital advertising is very great revenue generating thing over internet so I think it will be great in future.

dont invest on both of them. why? BAT have update. maybe make price go a little up. but not worth. ripple? hard to back to 0.4$

These two coins are in totally different market areas. Hard to choose one over the other
so probably best to own some of both.

Why not buy into both? Both are in accumulation zones right now and can do a shoot up to the moon. I already have money invested in both these, so I would suggest that you should split your capital and invest in these both.

For me, I will choose BAT over ripple for long term. But in view of the ripple events coming up in Oct, it is good to buy some ripple for short term.

If my choices were to invest in BAT or Ripple.  I would choose BAT for the long term investment.  BAT has a much lower marketcap which means there's much more room for growth in the price.

dunno about BAT but ripple has an event in october, should let the price increase if some good news like new partnerships are announced.

I would choose BAT , because this is a new coin, and also a very good project, and the volatility of this coin is high, so for long it may be the best option.

Between Ripple and BAT I would choose Ripple. Digital advertising it is not permanent. Today, there is demand for it, and tomorrow may not be. Ripple also serves the banking system, allowing you to speed up the conduct of bank transfers in seconds and anywhere in the world. This need is more constant, therefore the demand for it will only increase.

I am more familiar with ripple, so my priority to xrp as an investment option. Especially, current price very cheap is interesting enough to buy more xrp.

Bat or Ripple?
What i would recommend is that you get both, diversify your portfolio, and if either one grows in price earlier than the other you will make your profits.
Investing regularly and in different coins (of course after good research) in the long term will make you good money.

Both have potential. But as you never know what can happen in the future, you should buy both and diversify your portfolio.

as I pointed on another thread, ripple has a lawsuit going on for 1 billion worth of xrp over a canceled contract
https://www.cryptocoinsnews.com/1-billion-ripple-r3-file-dueling-lawsuits-over-cancelled-partnership/

again not saying it's good or bad

If it were just for those two coins I'd go with BAT.
I would never go with Ripple which is totally obsolete. Why invest in a coin which is clearly totally centralized with all their "regulations". It just doesn't undergo the term "crypto currency" which the base of it is decentralization.

Although I'm not the type of person that jumps into new coins and projects without some wise thinking but bat looks not bad. It'd actually get you some solid profits out of it. Normally I just stick with well known coins that's been around for awhile like eth,zec,xmr.

Ripple seriously mate? since none of you own a bank then you have no reason to buy and trade Ripple unless you are retarded, I'm a bank and want

To transfer millions of dollars every day to several countries, I would convert the money into a cheap cryptocurrency to reduce the costs only if all of

The other banks I'm doing business with accept that cryptocurrency. now why do I need to pay a company to provide the cryptocurrency to me when

I can make one and ask all the banks to join me in using it?. Bat is supposed to replace chrome and all other browsers but for now is asking me for

Money, it takes a long time to load pages and uses too much of my resources, if I didn't know better I could accuse them of using my CPU to mine

Some coin like Xmr, I'd go with Bat they might improve the Brave browser in the future.

Yes both has the potential to be profitable. Bat and ripple can also gives you profit when you know how to trade these. Yes spread your investment not on only one coin.

Nothing to compare this two coins.

Ripple is far more superior and I would choose to invest in it. It has been around for quite some time and is here to stay.

I believe that during 2017 XRP will hit 1$

But there is less than two months before 2017 ends, and you think that ripple will make a x5? wow.. i have never read this kind of stu**d speculations. why do you think it will be $1 before 2018? do you have any proofs to say that? or you are just speculating?
By the way, i dont think that ripple would be more than $0,50 , and you can investigate it by yourself, ripple has a lot of supply and it is impossible to reach more than $1

Bater with batacoin BATA  than BAT or Ripple  :-*

There is no comparison between BAT and Ripple as they both are used for different fields. But any day I will go with Decentralized BAT rather than Centralized Ripple!

Ripple and BAT is completely different coins and for different fields of activity.
But if choose from this two coins - my choice definitely BAT. I trust in BAT devs and I like Brave browser.

There's almost no info on BAT on the Internet and that's definitely not good for the coin. Yet of curse there's discussion of it on Reddit and here, so it's not nothing. As for Ripple - well, apart from their own website, there's an article on Wikipedia and exchange websites. I would say the projects are quite different to be compared and, as ripple is already in top 5, I guess we shouldn't expect it going further, whereas the new coin BAT offering an interesting project (rewarding advert's readers and publishers) has more chances to go up. The only bad thing about it all is that I don't see any project the coin is involved in.

BAT definitely

Ripple is main stream which will be pumped when news is out and whales get in

BAT has dedicated Developer, constant updates, and of course low supply compare to Ripple

BAT and Ripple are completely different things, they're not competitors. But I wouldn't choose either of them. I'd probably go with something like NEO or even just bitcoin.

for long-term investment I seem to prefer Ripple because Ripple always has a high volume and the price is more stable. and for BAT I prefer investing in the short term.

BAT is good for long term..

It's two totally different things :)

I'd go for BAT, although BAT is just a token it has a more decentralise structure than ripple. Ripple only make sense when you're a banker trying to step-up your legacy systems and for that matter bankers won't even need to use xrp, it is a psychological marketing to pump price where in reality xrp's utility is just its existence alone.

In fact i'm not even sure that we can call Ripple "cryptocurrency"

You could choose any coin and it would garanteed to be a better investment than ripple. Ripple ist just a ghost. Not even a cryptocurrency. It had that mother of all pumps once which was driven by pure hype and since then it's only going down. Please do yourselve a favour and don't touch ripple. I think the only people that are still promoting ripple are the ones who bought in on the top and still own a huge stack they want to get ride off.

I would buy ripple. But you have to hold it a long time for nice profit!

Nope, we cant call it cryptocurrency.

Its better to buy BAT because it has something to offer than the scammy ripple

i dont even know why its on the top 10

Ripple is oldie now and it has no value anymore because of the lawsuit stuff happening around the centralised company. It was supposed to happen because they made it regulated currency and we all know such things can not be controlled us but law applies there.

BAT is completely new and can be trusted more often than ripple. Obviously at least for the initial phases bat will give us potentially god return and the future is always far so we shouldn't be bothering about it much. From the two above BAT would be the one man.

I think when the law applies it is the best option to buy because if there is government interference then it will be good that the price of Ripple will increase. The value of XRP may increase because their team is traveling to all parts of the world to distribute the XRP.

Ripple. It will explode after October's conference.

Why do you think ripple will explode? What exactly should happed in October?

Not sure why people are saying Ripple is obsolete. Plenty of development going on, plus Swell coming up. I can't think of any other coins that could get both the inventor of the web and the former head of the federal reserve to one of their events.

https://ripple.com/insights/news/announcing-swell-by-ripple/

I will go for Ripple. It has several projects on the road.

I have some ripple and I think will hold them some months more

Both are very good projects and very promising. In my opinion is good to hold booth and wait what will happen in 1 or 2 years.

#RI

I know a lot of people hate Ripple. The main things I saw was that yes it is an old coin, but the original Ripple has almost nothing in common with the Ripple that we know about today. But if you put your ideologies aside, you can see that Ripple has a lot of beginnings and developments that are almost exactly like... Ethereum. So centralized and so business oriented. To me, this means that price wise, we can see Ripple hitting $100 within 2 years. And then after that, we can reassess.

Is this the basicattentiontoken?

Why not purchase some coins it's cheap atm.

I would go with Ripple ;)

And for example, I do not care how the coin is called. Also, a lot depends on how you trade them. If, for example, it is a portfolio investment, then you buy 50 coins for each deposit, each up to 2 percent of the deposit. Criterion. The price is at the bottom, large volotility, large volume. And put on sale half of each coin for 100 percent and arrange signals. This is called stupid investing.

I'd rather Ripple, even though it's not a true crypto if the banks are all getting behind it then it could continue to take off. Bit of a strange comparison though, there's loads of other coins i'd prefer.

BAT would be a better choice as the founder is a very established entrepreneur. BAT also just
announced a pre-launch technical update last week:
https://basicattentiontoken.org/bat-mercury-pre-launch-technical-update/

Definitely BAT, but TBH I am almost all in in wanchain - gonna be huge! Ripple on steroids

In my opinion for longterm investment I prefer BAT because this project from the creator of JavaScrypt and co-founder of Mozilla and Firefox who jenius and professional and also with other solid team make this project will be huge in the future.

I wont choose both. For mid term,i will pick these coi: NMR, TRST, BLK, BNT
By the way, BTC is the best coin you should hold!

I prefer Ripple and this coin is perfect for long term hold.Ripple price is only 0.22$ but now if you can buy for investment I think after one year this coin will be hit worth of 30$-40$ it's my prediction.

I'd go for BAT,  lower capitalization and higher ROI possible.

Ripple has the central powers behind it and many banks from various countries have adopted their blockchain to make transactions faster from themselves. But remember, its not the tokens that we buy, but only the blockchain tech that they are using. On the other and we have bat, with a founder who has proven his abilities in the past with Mozilla. Out of the two my, money is on BAT.

I think I prefer BAT, because I think bat has many opportunities to continue climbing up, and ripple seems to be old and almost very stable despite having many fans.

I strongly support ripple.Ripple is the best coin for long-term investment.After a few years, it will be very high. Their developers are doing a lot of good work

I honestly do not see ripple as a cryptocurrency looking at how the idea behind creating it in the first place, however, I cannot really say much about BAT now since it is still kind of new. But if I am forced to have to place my money in the 2, I had rather give it up for BAT even without knowing much about it. If you actually look at XRP, there hasn't been much development and its trend has been following that of bitcoin in charts.

Ripplevhave created infastructure and goodwill over the years! Though it is centralized, yet he has some brilliant brain behind it. Bat on the other hand is touting one of the best developer on the internet. I think is wise to hold both!

I've been with Coinmarketcap sites dashboard for a long time. Ripple has gained its place stable among the best altcoins. Still has its own value in the market. Slowly competing with developer on the internet as said. Reaching the market as quick as possible. Best to invest in Ripple as of now.

Is both an option? I vote for both.

Given a binary choice, I would choose BAT, but that's with the understanding that BAT is a lot more likely to totally fail and go to zero. Ripple is more stable and much more likely to still be there in the long term. But BAT is more likely to 25X. Choose accordingly.

I would go with RIpple as it is going to change the banking transactions in real world.


It is not going up as there are too many coins in the market. i assume it is 38 billions. It is difficult to see a big move upwards.

I wish it happen  sometime. I have not bought any ripple just for the above reason.

In My View Bat may be good for long term investment
First It Have A big Future With Excellent Road Map
Second Its Technical Analysis So Good It will be go At least 2-3x soon from current price and on long term may be we will see 10x from current price
With all My Best Wishes
Good Luck
Regards  

I would say Ripple, it is stronger at this moment.
The price seems to be increasing while others tend to decrease.
I think it's caused by a meeting that will happen October 16-18.
Here is a link to an announcement on their official website: https://ripple.com/insights/news/announcing-swell-by-ripple/
People are always hyped when meetings like this happen, because good thinks can come out of it.

I would say Ripple. But for the short to mid term definitely Basic Attention Topic. I think later BAT will die out though..

Many good coin ripple from BAT.Ripple perfect for long-term investment.Ripple coin market situation is very good.Holding a few years would be something good

Personally I prefer investing in reppel, it better than BAT, and I have recently invest 500$ in rippel and I don't regret

If those two alone then yes I too would go with BAT. It has the more upside potential while XRP has already risen and gained a ton. Not saying XRP cant go up, I think it will in the coming weeks but the ceiling is much higher for BAT. Also lets not

forget that XRP supply is not held by people but yet institutions. This alone has me more worried than it should and nobody should live in fear that the next day the coin wont exist on the market.

This is hard question to answer I think, because both of them have pretty good price movements for trading. But if I should to choose one of them, I prefer Basic Attention Token (BAT)

I don't like both of them , ripple because the idea behind it.
Bat because i don't think it can become big.
There are much better options.

Holding the coin for more than 12 months would be considered a season holder. Ripple is one of the coins that will have an expensive price many many years from now.

If you ask me for long term i would say BAT.
Because it has more opportunity to grow more than ripple.
But ripple is getting some hype now and ripple has big team also.But lot's of people don't like ripple because of centralization.That's why i will go for BAT.

BAT is known as basic attention token . It is a new coin and profitable project .On the other hand  Ripple is a real time gross settlement system ,currency exchange . Both coins are totally different in market area . I prefer ripple because it is a best coin for long period .

For long term investment id go for ripple, though Its centralized coin it is best for holding in the long run, bat is a new coin relatively it will boost up in the next 2 to 3 weeks but it will go down again after that but both coins are good, better if you have both.

Ripple is a great coin, I've invested there because Ripple is a good coin and Asia is the biggest investor of Ripple coins. I'm sure Ripple will continue to develop

These are very different altcoins. Actually you can use Basic Attention Token to block ads, and Ripple is mostly for operation with banks. If you compare the rates of these alts, you’ll see that Ripple is better, but I believe that BAT project has good future. Try to invest in both cryptos.

Both are very good projects and very promising. But I would still choose BAT because it seems to me less volatile and safer.

I'll choose ripple compared to BAT. Ripple will make a good investment, even though a small investor could take use of it. Ripple has a good market cap and it been here for quite a long time, though its flow might going low then hight it's quite unpredictable that's their nature. As for the BAT I'll never said it is a bad investment, but it is also good it's a matter of your preferences.

I think that on the Ripple coin you will not be able to do a few X's already, but on the Bat coin it is quite possible. A couple of top-rated positive news will be developed by developers and ....

Ripple is good but it is dominated by banks and whales, normal crypto trader only can have minor stakes, BAT on the other hand is a solid utility project and the team is highly competent, i think it has really bright future, im already holding few thousand of BAT, im confident that it will grow big.

BAT!
Don't buy XRP ahahhaa bank owns this coin.

I will choose Ripple for sure, this altcoins will be the best altcoins soon,
BAT is still fresh, i don't think i will last long, but it's only my opinion.
Because I think sooner Ripple will increase in the matter of time

Of the options I'm suggesting, a Ripple project will be here, of course I'm not positive about this project, but still from this comparison, I think that all the same this is a fairly correct choice. Although as they say, it's true that everyone has their own

If there is no choice other then BAT or Ripple i will go for Ripple for sure.
But why you don't look for other options such as ADA? or QTUM? open your sensors dude :)

Ripple is a potential coin that gives you high profit. Ripple is for the longterm because they have possibility the price become very high like hundreds dollars after few years of waiting. For sure if you have a lot of ripple and once the pricd increase more for sure you will earn a lot of profit.  As of now the price of the ripple is $1 plus so it's time to buy ripple with your extra money and possible you will become millionaire if you have thousands of ripple in your wallet. But it's up to you what coin you invest is either bat or ripple.

I think Ripple is better, considering his current position, and also seeing his progress pretty well for now.

The fact is, i didn't expect what's happening to ripple right now since its price is really dropping flat. Though it's still in the top but its not a good indication. On the other hand, Basic Attention Token seems to be really doing great this year. Well i suggest to also consider other tokens like stellar, cardano or EOS. But for me, you could go wit BAT.

XRP is the worst altcoin.
It was owned by banks hahahahha

I would choose BAT. I did not choose XRP. currency of the bank. XRP in my eyes is a shitcoin than a shitcoin

In my opinion, you should invest in Altcoin which is currently in the top 100 on coinmarketcap! Set out some requirements and choose the right altcoin! If anyone knows for sure, that person has done!

I suggest u xrp.xrp is good for long term investment.because many bank accept xrp coin.and I think xrp up soon

if i had to choose one i would choose ripple but both are worth the investment TBH.

Which banks accept XRP? Where use XRP as payment? And how can to buy coin only because it is bank coin? How? Idea for crypto 'No banks'. But some people anytime and anywhere says Buy ripple, it's bank coin, that's why solid. Sadly!

That's a no brainer, BAT.

XRP is centralised, banks use the protocol NOT the coin or are making their own versions. They have lawsuit problems now as well. I don't really consider it a crypto.

BAT on the other hand has massive potential and is already being used on Brave desktop browser versions, mobile brave payments are on the way soon and it stands to take off big time then. Youtube creators can already receive BAT for their content without having to go through google.
Brave browser is very good, I've been using it from it's infancy, it's getting a lot of attention now and good reviews. The team behind it are solid, Brendan Eich (co-creator of Mozilla and creator of JavaScript) is a part of it and they know what they are doing.
Since BAT is used with Brave browser, the more Brave becomes popular so does BAT. It's going places for sure.

I choose ripple because it has too familiar and has so many investors it also a top ranking coin in coinmarketcap.

I still expect to see lot more from BAT. Not only because of browser. Guy behind project is visionary man, they sem bit slow but its good. It may help it to grow slowly over time. I am for bat.

it looks like ripple is more promising than bat and I'm sure because the ripple has long been in motion on some exchanges!

Ripple have Standard Chartered Bank and other giant support, I also think that ripple is better for invest, but after Bitcoin anything else not likely grow as Bitcoin done in past.

In my opinion ,if i choose these two in the BAT or Ripple i'd prefer ripple. Yeah BAT has a good for now because its have an small capitalization and lower investment and few projects,but unlike the ripple, Ripple doing good performance too and ripple onr of a trusted coins. And in the ling term the ripple was good unlike the BAT because there's no proog that it can be go in the long term coin

BAT is a pretty new altcoin that appeared on the market only in May, 2017, but since that time it never had great falls. I am sure it has a great potential. Ripple is a centralized currency and it is not a real altcoin. Pick BAT.

BAT hasn't been seriously pumped yet,so there's a possibility of it in short,mid-term.Ripple was overpumped recently and now it's quite good price for entering.So I suggest 50% in BAT,50 % in XRP.
