now ripple has beaten ethereum, maybe this year is the ethereum downturn and most people believe in ripple, because a lot of news is not good about ethereum so the price drops quite deep and the ethereum position is taken over by the ripple
For me Ethereum is still better than any Altcoin because even this year have been falling for many times and until now it is still is one of the valuable and profitable once its start to rise. Also not only ETH is having continuously falling of itsmprice because all of them are experiencing to have long time dropping but it seem that Ethereum is one of the Altcoin than can recover.
