Let's be positive.

Here's food for thought.

Ripple
38,000,000,000 supply
Banker coin
Pre-mined
No original and/or exciting attributes, but is 20c a coin
Market cap 7.7 billion


Verge
16,500,000,000 supply
Had to be mined
Completely anonymous
5 second transactions
Atomic swaps
Smart contracts
0.0088c a coin
Market cap 125 million


I believe most would agree Verge is far superior, there is only one way the price can go.
