What's your view on the current price of ETH and XRP on the coin market?

[jacafbiz]

Are you kidding, Idex and EtherDelta are both Decentralised exchanges based on Ethereum platform and can only support ERC20 tokens, Ripples tokens can't be traded on it and so are other tokens and coins not supported by Ethereum platform.

[ashsh]

Which of the two tokens would you suggest has better future?

Depends on what you mean by "better future". If you're talking about adoption, then Ripple could beat ETH in that regard sonner than we thought since Ripple's Xrapid platform could be adopted by the banks around the world for cross-border payments. But if you're talking about prices as in which one can give a better ROI in the short-term or long-term, I'd go with both, that way I won't miss out profits from either.

Completely agree. I would hold both ETH and XRP but most of my portfolio would include more ETH than XRP.

Ripple just flipped Ethereum for the first time since December 2017.

Absolutely insane market. This didn't seem to last long as ETH quickly gained momentum back to the 2nd place on the coinmarketcap .

At the point any smart trader will place a reasonable bet on the prices of these two rivals (long or short).

And gong long or Short on these two rivals will be perfect on exchanges like www.bbod.io  idex.market , etherdelta.com

This competition was there since last year and I  believe that the two coins are very strong coins.  Trading them is very impressive and buying them now that bitcoin price is down we would be able to make money.  Ethereum and ripple may over take bitcoin in team of market cap one day.

[SMOKEU]

this two coins are competing only in the no 2 spot in coinmarket... you cannot compare them because they have different use case.. its just the trading volume why they are competing in top 2

[Leah38]

These 2 coins are always compared to each other ever since. As for me I would always choose Ethereum over xrp. I would be happy to see ETH go back up to $1000 again. I have lots of tokens and the ETH value rising would help increase token prices.

The only common measurable part of these currencies is where they can take place after Bitcoin. Because ETH is much higher than XRP and price is not very important in this regard.

Neither have performed well this year, even after ethereum hardforked it didn't pump. I'd still bet with ethereum rather than ripple but it's still hard to say until we see more green in the market

No, I won't choose those exchanges to make long or short trading, I will stay at Bitmex because I feel comfortable to trade in that site. Or I can use Binance to trade. I don't think that Ripple and Ethereum is a rival because although Ethereum has paired with Ripple, it doesn't mean that they are rivals.

It is better to choose bitcoin pair ethereum or bitcoin pair ripple because I want to increase my bitcoin amount, but sometimes, I use margin trading to trade both coins.

IMHO XRP I waiting at 0.16 USD level. ETH IMHO at 30 USD or lower. All new ICO going without eth. There no need in such quantity of ETH. But If BTC will pump we still easily can see 0.7-0.8 on XRP or 350-450 on eth.

I thought price of XRP will bump when it is available on coinbase but it doesn't make any changes on the prices so we all are waiting for the bull run on bitcoin to invest on the other coins as well.

i agree.
these coins, specially ethereum, can no longer pump their coins with their huge supplies so the only way they can increase their price is through USD and when bitcoin goes up. they just have to get dumped a little while bitcoin is rising.

for example if one of them is worth 0.02BTC while bitcoin is $1000 it has to get dumped down to 0.015BTC when bitcoin goes to $2000 in order to "show rise" although it really didn't rise but instead got dumped.

[vixcious]

 I watched this fight and it was quite dramatic. Three times XRP and ETH beat each other to win second place. When XRP was in 3rd place, I bought many XRP and then my profit increased from 7-12%. after 3 times like that, I made a lot of money.

Better and safer in such situation just hold BTC IMHO. ETH must do something with its unlimited supply and the fact that it is losing popularity.

eth will be stay as 2nd big coin until really good chain can made.
xrp is speculative coin it will drop from top 10 in near time.

right now in this situation tennis a very little development will be seen by me but it is not a chances of development in the future because the prediction is not been successful in lots of times so I am waiting to see what happened in the future and after I made a decision about the investment.

It seems to me that in any case these two projects can be considered the most important assets in their portfolio. No need to look at their competition for capitalization to determine the best, because it is one of the most promising coins to date.

[Jonking]

its because of the volume why ripple was on the second spot, but it's was not too long, ethereum was back to its second spot.. i'd probably investing in Eth rather than XRP

[befriendmywater]

The current prices of both have skyrocketed, and ETH has outperformed XRP. It seems that the war has ended and technology businesses have grown stronger than a bank.
I also talked about the growth of ETH in Q2 nearly 2 months ago and it was as expected. Now my $ 500 has become $ 900.

Congrats to you and that is a great reward for holding! I have been hold some ethereum too though it has not gotten to the price I bought them but with the current gain it is a little coins away. Ripple and ethereum are dranging to remain in third position in terms of market capitalization and I thing this is like a settle issues this days as ethereum has given a very wide gap. To me not because I am holding ethereum but it seems ethereum should not be in competition with the like of ripple but with bitcoin itself.
