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 will be the etherium for sure , because for what i have been reading most , etherium is the best amongst the altcoins and they even say that the etherium will inherit the bitcoin in the future. Because they have the most similiraties in terms in a long term investments and in a long term gaining of profits. From time to time their value rises but also going low , and suddenly skyrocketing. I will always choose etherium than other altcoins when talking long term.
