Ripple XRP has taken over Ethererum position on Coinmarketcap

[xuv500]

actually what happens with ethereum so that it can be defeated by XRP. whereas most people when investing in an ICO use ETH or BTC. will this be the end of ETH.

Price manipulation is a biggest concern, the entire market is dropping off and struggling. XRP is proving that it is growing slowly and steadily, this is not the first time but it has a great future in upcoming days.

[drumamat]

Do not panic. Ripple will not take 2nd place for a long time. ahead have ethereum is an update that everyone is looking forward to. As soon as it comes into force, Ripple will have to look at ethereum in the back, or bottom up.

[Masatos]

I think that in terms of investment, it is now most profitable to invest your money in ethereum because you can buy it at a very attractive price.

[irenegaming]

And it is recovered again, as we all know ripple is a good coin if you only notice the monetary side of things, and as in any market there are many people who just want to maximize their profit to infinity, without care for philosophies or technology, so despite being a supposed centralized crypto is having so much success.

Maybe they have something different to offer in the community as compared to eth platform? Any reasons why? I'm not really familiar with ripple platform, I just know that they exist but not really dealing them first-hand.

[Agapelove]

With the current situation where every cryptocurrency is falling, Ripple overtaking Ethereum I think took a big blow on Ethereum. This would mean more trust on Ripple by investors.

[blackhawkeye1912]

Ripple platform has been on trials for some banking institutions that may have attract investors of the future of Ripple. Investors are really looking for significant features and updates that could bring sustainable growth in the investment. This overtaking is not that surprising especially now where the market is so down.

I still can not believe that ripple is in 2nd place.
But fortunately that can change again quickly.
Somehow i do not think the ripple can hold the place long.

[fuer44]

ripple does look more potent than etherum. even many companies that support ripples can be pumped even higher.

[halpi]

that happens sometimes, but doesnt mean something serious, because one day Ripple takes over, next day Ethereum will recover positions.
Ripple is good for arbitrage and in bearish market the best opportunity

[FreeAirdrops]

The question is, does it deserve to be there? Most of the coins are held by the company. I think it's overvalued.

[leopard2]

XRP has no function whatsoever. BTC or ETH are actual blockchains that can execute code (ETH more complicated code than BTC) but XRP is just electronic token issued by an company

It is like VISA. And because the company issued 100 000 000 000 of these tokens, the market cap is really high.

Everybody complains about Tether. Ripple is much worse because XRP is not backed by USD and a much higher supply!!!  

[karagun125]

i think this only shows that ripple coin has also capability of being a good coin for investment. and also as day goes by the ripple coin has making its way to being popular to the crypto enthusiast and this will make the investors to buy ripple for future investments. great development so far for ripple coin. and i hope there are more altcoins can rise its name and be recognize.

[sixexgames]

It's a good project, but I doubt it'll stay there. I think Ethereum has more of an ecosytem built around it, so I think it's more deserving of the #2 spot.

[SamboNZ]

We've seen this before and as far as I know eth will remain next to btc as it's queen and xrp will remain inferior to them. Xrp won't hold much and eth will definitely take it's place back. Eth has more potential than xrp.

[coinsycrip09]

it seems like now the time of ethereum gold has declined,
but i think this is only temporary, ethereum will rise and will take back its seat as second place.

i believe it. 

[Mr Batman]

Too bad a centralized currency take over the second place on the top 100 decentralized crypto currencies. But I know it is not the first time and usually doesn't stay longer than few hours. But we need several days or weeks before claiming XRP take over ETH.

yes you are right, because like what happened when Ripple took Ethereum position, it didn't last long and only a few hours Ethereum was able to get rid of Ripple again, but I see now it looks like Ripple has taken Ethereum position with the longest time ever before happen or now is the time for Ripple replacing Ethereum forever without any resistance from Ethereum.

[dumplingsandsushi]

I still don't think that xrp is more lucrative than eth.
What would make it lucrative? Just because it is #2 on coinmarketcap now?
Eth had, and still has way more mainstream support, a more robust ecosystem, and real world use cases than xrp.

The only reason why xrp made 2nd is because eth free falled along with btc.
And btc free falled along with the stock markets accross the world.
The reason why these coincide is because we now have a lot of stock market investors with btc and eth in their portfolios, not xrp.
On top of that, xrp isn't fungible and doesn't have that many trading pairs.

Oh, did I also mention that ripple is an evil corporate company?

[cattano]

Indeed ripple overcoming ethereum several times but it's just a while, after that Ethereum taking the place again without waiting for a long time.
So there will still a long way for ripple to fully overtaken ethereum.

[vakaxacompany]

I think Ripple is the big competitor of ETH. And I hope Ripple can overtaken ETH fully
