Ripple has been going good in these times, but I don't think that this rising is not enough to make it a reliable coin. I think the top coins should be innovative like ethereum and IOTA, not like ripple which is not a decentralized cryptocurrency.
Every reliable crypto is having a decentralized system so they can't afford for manipulation, and Ripple does not have it. So between the Ethereum and Ripple I would like to choose the Ethereum has been very trusted and have a team and a great community.
