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)
Each has a different business model, and maybe the first among its competitors. Maybe this year Ripple gets more pressure, because even many communities don't believe that crypto essence is in Ripple. But if Ripple can solve the main problem, and make this altcoin truly decentralized, then perhaps the percentage of Ripple growth will be greater than Ethereum from the current price range.
