ETH back to second place on coinmarketcap and overtake XRP again?

[Siti Nurbaya]

Ethereum is able to do that and deserves to regain its position, eth will continue to be able to compete with others. This will be a more trusted crypto enthusiast even though the development of Ripple is equally good.

Don't your guys look at the charts before posting?! Ethereum has already retaken it's position at number 2 but only by a small margin. The question is whether that margin will increase to cement it's place at number 2 before ripple goes on another run

[phoinex]

The good news comes to ETH, I read if there will be a HARDFORK from ETH that wants to eliminate bugs about mining and its code so that the Minning costs will be even cheaper. But hopefully not only is that the community's trust in ETH hopefully will come back again.

Good point, who knows what might happen along the road, whether ETH supporters will continue supporting and keep this momentum to go high, as we things are still possible that XRP will continue chasing this run and re try to gain back the last position that they've got, its all about how traders and supporters will keep their trust and large money to fill inside this market bringing good sign of an healthy market.

What's your opinion on this issue? Will ETH surpass XRP and stay in second place?
 

Yes finally ethereum passed ripple and now it is in second place again. Ripple does not deserve second order to my mind so I'm happy for this. Also I'm seeing some analyzes and we can see 200+ dollar in few days for ethereum.

[arpon11]

The last few days were very positive for Ethereum (ETH) and price increased by almost 60%. That's a big sign for ETH to have a claim for taking back the second position on coinmarketcap. XRP overtook ETH a few weeks ago and this fast reaction of ETH would be a positive sign for the entire crypto community. It was always a questionable move that XRP could overtake ETH and the recent price trend would back the importance of ETH as second crypto behind ETH.
For XRP, being very overvalued, this can result in another problem and damage of trust. In opposite, ETH was very undervalued based on it's use-case and offers an opportunity to buy some cheap ETH.

Ethereum is far greater than ripple and what happened in the past was a temporary set back!  This is around third time that this overtaken has happened and I believe that the most time that both ethereum and ripple exist, I think ethereum has remained in second position above 90%. Cryptocurrencies market is recovering for another bull run and we should expect that to happen very soon.

Ethereum has already surpassed ripple in about $76,000,000 in market capitalization.  I believe that ethereum will remain like this through out this year.

[ballerin and giroud]

This thread was created last December, but this discussion is still relevant to what happened on this day. There is a lot of news scattered that ETH will meet Hardfork in early 2019, perhaps the current price increase is part of the effect of that information. However, as soon as the market capitulation between ETH and Ripple is still slightly different, there are still many possibilities that Ripple can overtake ETH again. Just a suggestion might be for you, buy ETH now and hold when Hardfork is finished, from there you can get a lot of profit.

[Argoo]

Even this morning ripple was ahead of ethereum in terms of capitalization by a small margin. However, now Ethereum has regained its second place again and it seems that the gap between it and ripple continues to widen. So, now, according to CoinMarketCap, the ethereum's capitalization is 15.77 billion dollars, and ripple is 15.17 dollars. At the same time, the price of ethereum increased by 12 percent, Bitcoin by 4 percent, ripple by 5 percent. We see a clear growth advantage in ethereum.

[khufuking]

As expected Ethereum gained its normal place, nothing strange about that, now it is time to spread the gap as it should be too, I can't describe how angry I am when I see someone compare Ripple to Ethereum or talking about how Ripple is superior to Ethereum, and for some reason people using ranking to justify their thoughts.

As expected, ETH is really good and able to go back on where that coin belong. ETH will grow more, and if there’s a new coin coming for sure ETH will do more better. This is cryptomarket, and a lot of challenges in order for you to take the top spot, this mean to me that ETH is a strong coin that in every drop it will always find its own way up again. Only if you invest at the bottom, your profit now is very nice. 😊

That is a good sign and I expect that ETH and other altcoins to raise before the bitcoin will do so.
Do not forget, ETH dropped nearly the most, that's why it is recovering faster + hardfork is coming soon and the price may reflect.

[sarfield]

This is the hope of the community, so with Eth's capitalization increasing and returning to his position is the first step to continue to grow.
I still believe Eth will rise and have a high volume and trust to recover.

Could it not continue growing from the 3rd position?
The position doesn't count as growth, especially if we're talking about 4-5 positions up or down... okay if a coin go from 200th to 100th that's a growth!
But to fall 10% behind XRP and then go 2% ahead of XRP is not a proof of growth.

And one more thing, positions can at best measure competition (not growth). For example ETH could stay still and BTC and XRP do something wrong and fall 80% in one day, making ETH first... is that growth? No, the opposite.
Personally I dislike the competition that exists in our community when we should be working all together... only exceptions being the forks which were the results of infighting (ETC, BCH, BSV), those projects had the right to try compete but since they have failed they should just stop existing... for example I don't know why would anyone support ETC instead of helping ETH push forward... actually I know... it's so they can get the price higher and sell their failed coins.

Ethereum is a second best cryptocurrency after bitcoin there is no doubt about it, but 2018 was a very disappointing year for it. I believe it would come back strongly in this year, as investors have started showing interest in it again, so it would reach peak soon.

[South Park]

I don't know of I'm just being too hard on Ripple though but, I don't have any trust whatsoever in it and I think it's heading for doom. Ethereum beyond reasonable doubt has had year that was absolutely below par but, I'm sure it is already picking up again slowly and would eventually surpass Ripple once again in the market capitalization.

You are not the only one that does not trust in ripple but you are being too hard on it when you say that it is heading for doom, we know that ripple is supported by banks and they are not going to let their favourite project to disappear when it was the second coin in the market only behind bitcoin, they feel they are close at succeeding and they are not going to quit now, fortunately ethereum has claimed its rightful place and it is likely it will not release it in a long time.

[thinkpad99]

I have no idea how it happened that XRP climbed to the second place. Anyway, it is not difficult to determine which currency has a stronger position, just look at the volume on Coinmarketcap - Ethereum has at the moment 6 times greater volume.

[trina]

bump, at this time ethereum has returned to the second position above the ripple, and the distance of the marketcap is quite far, which is 1 billion, from the beginning I have predicted that ethereum will return, and this is the beginning.

[batang_bitcoin]

I think this thread should be closed as we've been already ETH overtaken XRP as #2.

Yes, now ethereum has proven our hopes and is able to return to position 2 in the coinmarketcap. I think at this time Ethereum will be able to last longer and start creating large differences with ripple.
