Why is the Ripple price down and Ethereum price rising again..?

[coinchamarahs]

in the cryptocurrency market ripple price is down and Ethereum(ETH) price going up..any reason for that?

[Tone147]

Because both Ripple and ETH want to compete for the second place in the cryptocurrency market, it is clear that ETH is the real second place.

If Ethereum will solve problems with their overloaded network, than Ripple will not have any chances for the second place.

Of course in this case very important, Look at the use of ETH very much and miners were always mining ETH. Therefore, the price of ETH always rises and will continue to rise in 2018. And for Ripple going up still not as fast as Ethereum.

What dependencies between Ripple and ETH exclude position on coinmarketcap? Different goal, different team, all different. Why it price will have similar trend in quite stable BTC?

   Why to compare Ripple and Ethereum, bank`s alt-coin with open software
platform? I am reading many things about Ripple and I do not like what I read.
Ripple can rise more, and there are banks that pump money into it, but I would
not go that far to compare it with Ethereum price.
   Who like to earn fast money Ripple can be a good thing, few weeks ago my
decision fall on Ethereum and that is my investment for long term.
