Except ripple didn't exactly collapse and we are 11 days in to 2018. Come back in a year and we will see. I'm not saying I disagree. I think ETH is going to go strong and hard this year and potentially hit 5k. Ripple on the other hand I am not so bullish about. But it's far too early to draw any conclusions.

Very fair points.

I'm also very bullish on ethereum, but I don't think ripple will go that far. Ripple is just a payment system, and it forgets the main purpose of crypto, that is to allow for people to have no need for banks. It's not just a system to make transactions faster and cheaper, it's supposed to be a way to financial freedom. I think ripple is a bubble, and it will collapse as soon as decentralized crypto solves it's scalability problems, and gets ready for real use.

If you are bullish on Ethereum then go look at the FUTR: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2698035.0

The product essentially IS Ethereum, but at Level 1  where it currently is - it has a 7x multiplier on the back of any return you might get out of ETH.

Not for everyone as this is only for more financially sophisticated people, but good to have a read up about it either way as lots of similar products this year coming to market for sure!
