Personally i prefer Litecoin. This is undervaluade coin and it is older than Ripple. Yes, XRP has more capitalisation and good news, but i think LTC will go after BTC. And i expect soon BTC rising. So, LTC in my opinion is number 2 in crypto. But i think we should have LTC and XRP in our portfolio in similar %. And dont forget about ETC)
Recently, very strongly began to develop the topic of the prospects of the Etherium Classic. But the fact is that at the same time no one is leading any facts of prospects and success. As for Ripple, it will be a very promising project in the future, with the linkage of the banking system to the crypto-currency market.
