ETH and XRP - For top 2 position

[BitBustah]

They may flip spots every now and then but Ethereum will end up being the dominant crypto.  Eth has a much higher daily volume than xrp and the eth network handles a lot more transactions.  Ethereum is also used as a trading pair along with bitcoin on nearly every exchanges.  Additionally companies are looking at putting stocks on the Ethereum blockchain which will raise adoption even more.

Indeed, the position can be replaced by XRP but only temporarily, because the community will certainly return to take over and this will continue to happen. Still, ETH is a popular platform and has good performance, there are so many enthusiasts in the market and continue to survive for its quality.

The battle for number two is indeed an interesting one. On one hand we have a platform for developing DAPPs creating tokens out of anything, but on the other hand there is financial giant trying to take on the global payment system. Hard to say who will win

[South Park]

Early this year,  ETH was able to get back on the top 2 position but it looks like XRP is not giving up to prove itself that he also deserve that position, and now XRP succeed on that,

As of January 10, 2019

Do you believe that many scenario like this will continue to happen until the real bull comes?
Many believe that XRP is not a good one but again this is the top contender of ETH when it comes to positioning and giving good services so watch out for the battle of these two top altcoins while bitcoin is laughing at the top.

Ethereum is the coin which should be holding that place with ease but the current bear market has being catastrophic to it and it seems the excitement over the hard fork is not as big as I thought it would be, so ethereum is still having problems maintaining that position but eventually once the effects of the reduction in the emission of ethereum are felt in the market we could possibility see an increase in the price and this could allow ethereum to get a solid advantage over ripple.

Eferium cant handle many transactions. If the network is overloaded it cant scale.

Xrp is also used as trading pair along with buttcoin on many exchanges.

Additional banks are going to use xrp in cross border payments.  Even R3 announced it is going to use XRP on its Corda settlement network.

Yuuuge year for XRP coming

Well it's fun to watch,when there is a competition like this the developers or the marketing will work harder, I prefer for eth to sit on the second place because xrp is a centralised coin, eth is a better coin from the transaction speed, but something need to change from eth, the reason it's falling down because many scam ICO using eth, if there is nothing done then eth will slowly lose its position

Definitely right, because for sure it is best competition here in history that two potential coin compete to each other for the ranking.
But ranking will not determine who is better to invest or best to buy it depends on how much the total market of the coins.

Ripple low price and possible to increase the value very high in the future like hundreds upto thousands of dollars.

Ethereum from like ripple price it became 1400 dollars each in the year 2017 but suddenly the value decrease and now is $100 but it still hope the value to up and become the next bitcoin soon.

Hah nice try but eferium is centralised around rainman and friends.

https://ripple.com/insights/the-inherently-decentralized-nature-of-xrp-ledger/     and xrp is more decentralised than buttcoin and eferium.

Lol st transaction speed

While eferium can handle 20-40 transactions a second

XRP can handle 1500 TPS!


Network was never clogged trough high usage but eferiums was clogged

[niublity]

I am not worried about the status of Ethereum. Ethereum is facing an upgrade immediately. This upgrade will make XRP cry. Ethereum is a more valuable coin, and XRP centralized coins are not enough to transcend the value of Ethereum.

[MemberBerries]

Im worried about eferium.  It cant scale... it has a fork every few months, vitalek is a pedo, eferiumalliamce is using a private fork of eferium that doesnt use the publicly traded scamtoken.
Consensys is firing 50% of its staff, the time of lambos and empty promises if over.
 
There is still nobody here who can name me one efereium app that has more than a million users...

What efereium is doing is a  classic show of smoke and mirrors until the dhs arrests vitalek for fraud and security law violations.

I still believe that ETH can make a distance from XRP in the coming months with the implementation of the ethereum fork. Ripple took the second spot last year because of the dumping of ETH and not with the development of ripple that put them on the second place. Now that ETH had returned next to bitcoin, this will take a difficult part on the ripple to come back to that top 2 position without doing a pumping. Anyway it's just ranking and for technology advancement I prefer ETH than Ripple.

the amount is only a little adrift now.

Ethereum (ETH) with a total MarketCap of $ 13,278,332,851 and Ripple (XRP) of $ 13,667,445,677
this won't last long. I'm sure Ethereum will return to its position in the next few days.

If people would use something NOT MANIPULATED LIKE THIS HERE

https://forbescrypto.com/crypto


it would be clear to any meth head and buttcoin activist that there is a long way to go for eferium and a short way to catch the first spot from buttcoin

[okan]

xrp is very speculative coin.
it can be 2nd coin but it wont last long. like bcc's passing of ethereum last year.
ethereum will take 2nd place again.

Lol bak

Eferium is a centralized scam. They cant even fork properly. Scam

[omonuyak]

This two coins are really dragging on who will remain in the second position in terms of market capitalization. Though I think this did not matter much as we are more concerned of what will happen after the hardfork on 16.  I strongly believe that ethereum will remain the second coins after the hardfork for a very long time.

[sekop]

I don't mind the position, but the coins are of higher quality and each still has strength. Both of these coins look good and volumes that always compete bring the market to look more attractive. But I prefer to invest in Eth.

Lol what the hell your talking about ?  Eth isnt a scam  and its not also centralized because its a crypto and all crypto are known to be decentralized  .

Xrp in a nutshell is also a promising coin with lots of potential to succeed in the future and it can possibly rank the top 2 spot on the coinmarket ranking if ever eth wont recover  .   

[balfouri]

As an ethereum holder I'm hoping that it can be stable in number two in rank at the market.But no matter whose in top in rank,the most important is that we are gaining profit of what altcoins that we had.

LMAOOOO plese read trough all the interactions here it appears that there are only bots responding to braindead topics; D

Btw i know for sure that eferium is centralised BECAUSE 70% of mining power is in the hands of a few pools
