I am very new to cryptocurrency. So which of these awesome altcoins should I invest my money with?

as of now, we know that the value of the cryptos drop low.but if i have to choose in DeepOnion over the Ripple, i prefer ripple.why ? because ripple is one of the good cryptos. Ripple supports the banks and not only that, the ripple is on 3rd cryptos among all the crypto currencies.yeah. we know that these too have an potential to growth more and have a chance to match in bitcoin but i think that who make first match the bitcoin is the Ripple.

I don't disagree with your premise, but for an investor DeepOnion would be far and away more profitable than Ripple, as XRP has already achieved the vast majority of the growth it can realistically see. Even if it increases another 1000% in price, this is NOTHING compared to ONION's potential, as not only is the market cap comparatively miniscule, but there are also far fewer total Onions than XRP. While Ripple is definitely working with banks successfully and that is a big advantage, for an investor you want to find the best value for money, and the greater potential is in Onion rather than XRP. Risk-wise, I would say they're about equal imho considering the governance concerns of Ripple's founders, the escrow holding of the majority of XRP, and the potential of banks to circumvent XRP or simply build their own blockchain rather than outsourcing.

Onion's risk is mostly in their novelty and relative obscurity, but I think this will change rapidly not only due to name recognition with Tor, but also due to the DeepVault feature which is not unique but certainly innovative. In general, it's not unreasonable to say that most developers and serious crypto owners/investors/enthusiasts are quite familiar with Tor and most people serious about security implement Tor in one way or another, whether through TAILS or just using the browser.

In any case XRP does certainly have potential to eclipse bitcoin as a method of transfer, but less as a store of value in my humble opinion
