Ethereum will have second place, its 100%, XRP is a bank coin, and very large money will be invested in XRP. The competition between the two titans will be very tense.
Flippening between Ethereum and XRP will happen when Ethereum hit 0.04 BTC per ETH or higher.I guess the flippening will occur soon.
Hope so in the beginning of 2019 price of eth will start growing, as you said ethereum will overtake XRP very soon.
Right now price is very low so best time to buy at this cheap price. BTW HaPPy New YeaR.
