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)
It is really difficult to figure out what is better. These are two pretty different assets that appeal to different audiences, which is why were probably see them take significantly different routes.
No offense, but I think ethereum is better than ripple though they're both great when it comes to quality standards.. I'm not belittling ripple but we all know that ethereum is such superior coin after bitcoin. All I know that both of them are good and have a future. Trust them.
