XRP competing places with ETH?

[kaspabha]

I also control myself from the shopping now. I bought some altcoins in December. Now I am waiting for March to buy again

Why to wait till March you can plan to buy now itself as crypto market is once again going down, Is it time to buy or sell is has been a complicated situation now. I really don't understand why the prices are dropping so badly.

Yes. We should buy on every dips, because we don't know what is the bottom. No one can predict it.  Only thing we can do now is buy on dips and sell on high or hold for a long.

It has been a long time that ETH has been ranked No. 2 in the ranking of the coinmarketcap. XRP re-occupies this position, I believe that due to many positive information about Ripple, RippleNet payment network recently has 200 customers. But maybe it is only now, I think ETH can return to that position when making new announcements about its project.

Let's not forget XRP price went beyond $3 earlier last year and attracted a lot of people's interest who thought price of it would go even higher by September 2018. But since then until this week XRP has been a pain in arse for those who bought it at the peak. I don't call it a investment opportunity for any cryptocurrency enthusiastic because,

1. XRP is not decentralized and it is in no way a cryptocurrency for me as it is totally pre-mined which comes from a technological farm whose main purpose is to provide their service to banks.
2. Ripple is facilitating cross-border remittances and other payments for banksters alike. So the control of XRP is being handled by a couple of people/organisation.
3. Ripple team holds 60 billion of the 100 billion Of total XRP. There was a report in last year that Ripple team sells average 300 million XRP per month from their account since mid 2016 which makes it even less of a greater opportunity for cryptocurrency investors. This sounds more like a centralized s*** trying to benefit a certain group of people. And many people will join in the occasional hype, only to lose money!
4. Come on mate! Yes, we are interested in cryptocurrency because of money. But there are also some greater purposes like trying to free us from those banksters, being in transaction system which is decentralized and cuts out the middle man. But the acceptance of XRP is absolutely against all the aspect of Bitcoin.

Too fast and short XRP reclaims its position from Ethereum. I am still hesitant to invest now, the market is still not good. More often red and no significant changes. How do you respond to this? Will you still survive to buy several altcoins? Thank you in advance.

in my opinion, with competition like this, this is a very good thing, and also as proof that crypto is now active again, if it is only stable at that number, investors will also be reluctant to enter the market

From all indications, it is even more clearer now that Ripple is in a big competition with Ethereum on who remain in the number 2 position on coinmarketcap, but let's see how it will go.

xrp and etherum competition does not stop us from investing in other altcoins, taking chances in a red market situation is the best thing than staying as an audience, you will lose the beautiful moment to buy

[@prashant]

I don't think you should compare them ,one is payment oriented and eth is platform oriented,so you can decide yourself where to go and don't think just by investing ,you will see profit in few week as currently market is manipulated.but I should say go with eth bcz it is backed by a big community and majority of project are based on it and ripple is sort of centralized crypto and there are big holders who can manipulate it big times.

Competition in the market is good it leads to better service , I think fork has already played its news and eth will fall now , and ripple is now a bullish trend and it is not surprising that the capitalization is growing )

[jerrison]

if you closely look at the chart in coinmarketcap.com you will notice that the prices are not constant and the market capitalization is fluctuating, hence, the competition in second and third places between the two coins and also the position of the second place has always been on ethereum but just a few weeks ago the ripple coin started displacing the ethereum.

[Willitivity]

Ethereum since dropping alot in price have been having a hard time getting back up and also with the market not helping things at all. Ripple on the other hand has been showing a stiff competition, even after dipping hard too. But the supply and the price has been making it stay at the top. It's good to see cryptos in a top notch battle for position.

[jpoker272727]

I can see a boxing match again between XRP and ETH.
They are less than a billion gap again or less than 200 million to be exact.
I wonder who will gain the top 2 seed this month. i hope EthereUM can make it.

[Esterklu]

I am buying small sums each month, but in January i am not sure if i will invest, may be i will better buy in February or March.

For short-term trading it's different, but from a long-term perspective we definitely need to be looking at the specifics of each project, what real-world solution it offers, what its development history and roadmap are like etc etc - these are the things that matter, so much more than whether it happens to be #1 altcoin in market cap at any given time.

I would say ETH and XRP both have huge potential, and can have a tremendous real-world impact. Both look cheap at the moment, but of course you want to know whether or not prices will fall further - which no-one can say for sure. For me the market does seem to have absolutely no support at the moment, so further losses can't be ruled out at all.

[tomahawk9]

Only newbies care about which of these two gets the 2nd place. That spot doesn't grant any powers or make a coin even more , plus, there's not really a competition here.

First, ETH is one of the most trusted and well-established coins in the market, while XRP is just a centralized bankers shitcoin. Second, each coin has its own properties and attributes , so they're not really competing as both serve completely different purposes in the crypto space. So, all in all, no matter the standings on the charts because of market cap or whatever filter you use to see charts, Ethereum will always be the 2nd cryptocurrency in the market behind Bitcoin.

It seems like ripple is competing with Ethereum in the eyes of people but I dont see Ripple capable of that because it a centralized which seems to have the support of the Senior regulators and the Banks. But you must not forget that it doesn't have much support of the crypto community and people who invest in it must be careful due to price manipulations.

What I usually advice people in this kind of situation is to buy less altcoin but must coins that have good historic data with huge community support and invest most of their fund into bitcoin because it will always be the best crypto to invested in every time.

Ethereum and ripple compete with each other only in terms of capitalization. However, these are completely different coins with their specific functions and they have nothing to divide. The high level of capitalization of different in functionality coins is generally good for cryptocurrency, since they indicate a large amount of funds that people invest in cryptocurrency. This is a good sign that cryptocurrency is entering our life with confidence.

[tonibyuzen]

In my opinion, even in the worst case scenario, the market capitalization will not fall much below $100 billion, So now is the best time to invest in cryptocurrencies and XP c ETH is an excellent choice for this, regardless of which of them will be on the 2nd and 3rd place in capitalization.

[Hektur]

I do not understand why people think that XRP is something that will boom in the future. Banks cooperates with Ripple solution, that is right, but they do not use XRP token on that platform!

[seggardinggins]

Yes, in a fairly short period of time, the XRP again seized its position as ETH, this often happens, the market if the market slumps. I am not too worried about this competition, what I am worried about is the fate of the altcoin which continues to fall in price and this year there has been no development at all.
 we all feel the same way and if this continues, the impact of investors starts leaving Cryptocurrency.
