the state of cryptocurrency is very difficult to predict

[Dr.Osh]

well, polkadot has very good prospects, because when XRP has a problem, polkadot immediately takes his place. however, we will not know what will happen to the cryptocurrency world in the future, but ADA is indeed a coin worth taking into account. if XRP has decreased over time, sooner or later its position will be replaced by other altcoins.

I don't know why polka dots have increased so high in recent times, is this a sign that polakdot can be one of the best token options in crypto? but I feel optimistic about the increase in polka-dots and hopefully it can last long in the crypto top 10

[FairUser]

That is what even the experts in this market have to admit. Looking at the market movements in the past time, there are many surprises, filled with pictures about XRP. I have been in the market for a long time and do not have much experience with it, what I experience makes me feel like a newbie in this market.

[iTradeChips]

I think that it is really a tough thing to predict this so called state of cryptocurrency because the ecosystem itself is volatile, that only very few made a precise prediction, and most of the times the speculations provided by these analysts are more on the caution side than actual statistics.  I am impressed by the way Polkadot has survived since 2017, really because of the innovations but also how it is being managed. It might also be a contender in the top 2 spot if many are to be believed.

I have my own crypto rule that I will never break, that's never buy coins when they are surging or when they are at a new ATH, you can never know when they will plan to retreat on you, to me it's too late to buy bitcoin unless you have the money to take risks, it's better to go altcoin fully right now cos it looks like Bitcoin is out of chakra juice already

Saying you don't know why Polkadot increase so high means you don't know anything about Polkadot, this project is a very strong project with fully ready team who are so determined to take this project higher, every single projects that runs on Polkadot platform are successful, that's enough to create insane awareness for Polkadot, this project could be the most worthy Ethereum wannabe

[JHORN]

Just like you rightly said, it was anticipated that Litecoin will beat Ripple, but however it turned out to be the other way around, meaning the crypto space can't be predicted, at the same time, saying that Cardano will beat Ripple might still go the other way around and Ripple will continue being above it, and Polkadot on the other hand might drop in rank; all these are speculations as that is all we can do, while the market is always working differently. Therefore, considering all these, I think it is better to leave the market to work and stop predicting, invest in whatever coin you want with good decisions. However, if Ripple is defeated, then there is every tendency the price will dump more and other coins will overtake it, but for now, let's keep our fingers crossed.

LTC can still beat XRP out of its position in future but I don't really care which one takes the third or fifth position, every God damn projects on top 10 rank have my outmost respect and they all deserve a place in my portfolio I believe, XRP isn't defeated yet, if SEC never went after XRP things might be different for XRP right now

[Bitstar_coin]

Ripple is currently facing a law suit which can not be taken lightly by some investors unlike dot, besides they are not at 'war of best crypto' so i don't see the point, the rank is not a permanent place for any coin, anything can happen in the future, everyday there are new project coming out so you never know which one will be good enough to out perform the old ones.

[cyl2077]

The time is too short, and I think such predictions are not accurate enough.
And I prefer POW coins, provided that its number is fixed.

[kpierce77]

I don't think Cardano was unexpected, because from the start they had better technology and structure in my opinion. Cardano also has a good community when compared to XRP. and I think Cardano will be one of the most positive developments in the bullish this time

[posi]

OP, I wonder why people still consider LTC to be the coin to dethrone XRP when it have loose it reputation long ago and in the future I dont see ADA having the capacity to be DOT rival if the DOT team dont messup their reputation like LTC did.

I believe all cryptocurrency investors/enthusiast is aware of the lawsuit issued against XRP company by the US SEC, but crypto market analysis usually see this as a subject to talk about despite the fact that the capital market rank is not permanent for every coins and I believe OP is one.

[kindbtc]

Many people predict that Ripple will be defeated and replaced by Litecoin, but what happened was not as expected, because it was not Litecoin who defeated and replaced Ripple, but Polkadot who had defeated and replaced Ripple and the unexpected is Cardano who immediately defeated and replaced Litecoin, so that makes me believe that in the future Cardano will beat Ripple and make Polkadot a rival.

Yes, both polka dot and cardano will be the strongest contenders to take the place of ripple but also be ready for surprises as a clearance by SEC to ripple can add fire and fomo to xrp resulting in extreme pump that will further strengthen its top position especially after SEC new pro crypto chairman.

The results of the lawsuit against ripple that have occurred certainly greatly affect the crypto community's confidence in XRP today and the fact is that currently XRP's position, which was previously ranked in the top 3 altcoins, can even be replaced by other altcoins. And this shows that anything can happen in the cryptocurrency world and we won't be able to guess for sure, but looking at current market conditions, it looks like 2021 will be the year of polkadots (dot) hype.

It doesn't matter kind of consensus that already used. The POS concensus can also create a cap for its total supply. that depends on the project developer whether they wanna put the hardcap supply or not.
There are also so many POW coins have been putting non sense total supply. So many POW coins are dead too.

polkadot already taken over ripple but not the cardano but there is only a little gap between cardano and ripple , cardano needs 2 million more in its market cap to succesfully beat ripple . ripple team must hurry solving their issues now or ripple supporters can also help if they dont want to see their precious xrp dropping more in the ranks .

especially after SEC new pro crypto chairman.

so this means the old chairman arent pro and now he will be replaced ? but i dont know if new pro chairman can be good or bad , he is pro and more knowledgeable than the previous chairmans and he can spot so many wrongs in crypto and correct it or he will not correct those tiny mistakes in crypto

[didzi]

crypto world is unpredictable mate, but if we want to learn about technical analysis, i think we can exit the market in the right time
by the way, , maybe in the next couple of weeks we will see polkadot in the third place of coinmarketcap replacing usdt

[buriks]

of the many altcoins currently greening, there are a lot of altcoins that are difficult to predict because the fluctuating prices make altcoins go up fast and take long. besides that, altcoins currently need great support from investors who make these altcoins go up and the project system has a special update so that these altcoins have high potential for investment.

[shiming]

Definitely. The price of cryptocurrency changes all the time. It's really hard to predict. The price of cryptocurrency is easily affected by external news, so investors need to pay attention to market fluctuations. Overcome panic.

[lienfaye]

Indeed its very hard to predict the movement of cryptocurrencies and sometimes what you didnt expect tend to happen just like the increase of polkadot. I dont have knowledge about this coin but I was surprise seeing it overtaking litecoin, cardano and ripple. There's something we didnt know in this particular coin because we are too focus on bitcoin and ethereum. Well I guess I have to dig deeper now to understand why the ranking changed.

[rainingbitcoins]

I think what is happening now is beyond the predictions of investors for an altcoin, because there are so many green projects at the same time and this is likely a lot of crypto needs that make many investors issue their tokens with high prices and sell. this is certainly good and I think it will last much longer.
