im not an altcoin guy but im suddenly interested , as i can see on coinmarketcap there is ripple just after bitcoin then after it litecoin and ethereum , still isee a lotof people speaking about ethereum more then they do about ripple i just checked the website on ethereum and for some reasons i didn't understand anything , can't even find an executable file to download and if it's on beta will people lose their ether later (that's if they are storing them anywhere)

This comparison would be something like comparing an elephant with a whale. Two entirely different animal optimized for two entirely different living area

. Ripple is an IOU system for making different stuff (e.g.: elephant to BTC) easily swappable, while ETH is basically a framework for making contracts and then enforcing and verifying the processing of these contracts. As relaying between different systems is also possible, in the future it could be a framework for glueing together different platforms.

It's in alpha so there are no binaries like a ready to use QT wallet. You need to deploy it as it described here: https://www.ethereum.org/cli.

Well said and the analogy makes sense. Different coin for different purposes.

This is what I think: Ethereum will survive and Ripple will die for sure. Why? Because Ripple is centralized. Just my opinion, though Roll Eyes

But on the other hand, since ripple is centralized and banks love it, which is why it might survive and see some real world use quicker than eth.

I like explanation from Snail2 about what is Ripple and what is Ethereum. Couple days ago I
saw NEO vs Ripple, it is like someone's interviewing us. I have that kind of impression.
ICO Lancer, I must agree with you, on other hand people love centralization. It is case with
the banks, but almost all institutions are centralized, people love and support that. On other
had as you said Ripple can survive and find place easier than Ethereum. They are working
on Ripple, they are signing new contracts, they are doing something. Second thing I do not
like about Ripple is total coin supply, too much if you ask me.
I like Ethereum more, I have Ripple coins too, I would like both of them to rise in the future.
There are good chances that to happen for both of them.

indeed, as bad as ripple sounds like, it might still survive and see real world use.

indeed. With centralization and supports from banks, ripple will find its survival in use cases by financial institutions.

But at the same time, banks as well as Swift are also testing other blockchains and may not use a public blockchain like ripple.

ripple's use case is too limited. Eth has a broad use case applications and is not limited to banking applications.

In this way, Eth has better opportunities and is able to better survive and flourish
