Can ETH reclaim its spot as 2nd highest market cap?

[Monkey1]

Ripple will not stay in second place for a long time. Ethereum system reflects the spirit.

We know how Ripple got into the scene and effortlessly took the 2nd spot in terms of market cap. Do you think Ethereum can reclaim it this month? What do you think?

Ethereum has the Potential to reclaim it.
but i think it will take some time

The marketcapitalizationof ethereum almost the same as ripple, it means if the competition between ethereum and ripple will be very strictly. How ethereum will come to the pos system in this year and everyone is able to stake their coin to the ethereum network. Ripple comes with so many bankers behind it to give a huge support to the open payment tech development.

Almost the same, yes, but they are different in almost every other aspect. Ripple was always going to make these waves if you consider from months ago the way the leadership was going to distribute their coin - or lock it up. Great strategy that shouldn't have worked, since everyone already knew how much was going to be in circulation, and to me the artificial locking up and circulation will eventually fail. But let's see. If Ethereum's own leadership makes some decisions, and they definitely can, a 1k price will boost it back into second place.

I believed Ethereum will reclaim the former position like what happen to the bitcoin cash in which it just take the secondary position for just a month. Those pump attempt on Ripples will not become so long because it did not attract huge investors until now to create a huge gap value in order to secure the second spot against Ethereum. I bet before January end, Ethereum will bounce back and become secondary to bitcoin once again.

I have some ripple last few months ago and Im very happy sad because I sold my ripple when the price decrease and I see the price today it increase and the price it's already $2 plus and for sure it will increase more.  But ethereum for sure reclaim the 2nd market cap because this coin the price is very high and for sure it will increase more the price. So better don't compared ripple or ethereum because it's totally different from each other.

Yes Etherum just reclaim its spot as 2nd highest marketcap few hours ago. I have both ripple and ethereum but I still prefer to see Ethereum as the second highest marketcap because I think Ethereum is better than Ripple and more decentralized. Ethereum still have a lot of room to grow and I believe 2018 will be amazing for Ethereum thanks to the proof of stake fork so miners cant mine Ethereum anymore so they have to buy Ethereum in order to mine it

[xuan87]

It's a very good question, I am still surprised that ripple able to get the eth place, but I think eth got a better prospect than XRP, eth has been used as a token for a lot of ICO, ripple is just got lucky, I think it's just the matter of time eth will claim back it's place

[flipperfin]

Of course! I doubt ripple can stay 2nd for long, either Eth or something else will take its place.
Ethereum will have a great 2018 imo, once Casper arrives you better hold on to your socks.

I don't think that Ripple can sustain on 2nd position and its current price (BTC - 0.00016330). We already had seen such pumping in May'2017 when Ripple climps to (BTC - 0.00021660) from (0.00000610) & then continuously goes down. Let's wait for sometime till BTC start moving & picture will clear..

I don't think if ethereum coin was still standing at the second spot, because bitcoin cash are silently increasing. I guess this crypto currency have a plan to surpass ethereum this year. However I still believe that developers of ethereum are not agreed with that matter. So im sure that they made a way to remain their position at the second spot.

[airdrophunter]

Eth have claimed it back with a very comfortable market cap over Ripple. I just wonder what happened to this promising Ripple coin that is backed heavily with banks? Any idea what causes Ripple's status today?

[di.ako.toh]

yes, as long as ethereum maintain its stability and continuosly growing etherium can still reclaim the second spot of leading coin in the market cap.

[jackjackfly]

ETH is more stable, so I don't think whoever can replace it from the second place. Will be so surprised if this happen, but for me its impossible. Anyway we will see

[proexcept]

ETH is losing its position now. The ripple coin has already shown us once that it can easily surpass the coin that has existed for a long time. And if the ethereum remains slow and the network is loaded then it will give up its place to the coin which is much faster and with a minimum commission.

[apur688]

Of course. Ethereum will be 2nd highest marketcap. Even now this has happened. I even have another hope, that ethereum will be able to replace bitcoin positions.

Although bitcoin price equals 10x the price of ethereum, but it is not impossible. Just a matter of time, we just wait, and follow some channels that talk about altcoin, predictions about ethereum are all revealed. So stay tune on ethereum. Thanks
