market cap is 100% meaningless!
it is just multiplication of price and supply. and it is with all the 4 coins after bitcoin until LTC.
the 72 million premine of ETH, the god knows how many billion coins of XRP and about 90% of 16.4 million coins of BCC has never reached the market.
exclude the fake coins of altcoins and let the BCC deposits open and people be able to deposit that 16.4 million (of course a very small portion of it will ever move) and then compare market caps.

as far as i am concerned litecoin is number 2 in that list so far.

Interesting. I was always wondering why people value a firm cap of supply so little about a coin. BTC has a firm cap, and with the halvings, lost coins, etc... it's guaranteed deflationary! With ETH, it's not even sure how many there will be on the market in the future, and one man could change the rules anytime anyways. Then, some clueless new investors even think BTC is 10 times more expensive than ETH, so ETH is still really cheap...

Can you tell me more about those pre-mined ETH coins, are these included in the official supply? Who has them, what's the scheduled plan? I have never heard about this.

Also, what about the XRP supply, can you shed some light on it? I know nothing about XRP.
