recently ripple reached 1 usd and is predicted to go upto 5 usd by the end of next month.
while eth has rose 100usd in the past week and is being quite stable.
ethereum though not as accepted as bitcoin but still can be used unlike ripple.
so my question is whether i should invest in eth or ripple given i may need to take out my money back any time.
I would in your place invest 50% in each crypt.
This two giant coins are good to hold and I think its better to invest on both coin, diversification is a great strategy that makes you more liquid. Better to analyse well before you trade to prevent any losses.
