The last few days were very positive for Ethereum (ETH) and price increased by almost 60%. That's a big sign for ETH to have a claim for taking back the second position on coinmarketcap. XRP overtook ETH a few weeks ago and this fast reaction of ETH would be a positive sign for the entire crypto community. It was always a questionable move that XRP could overtake ETH and the recent price trend would back the importance of ETH as second crypto behind ETH.
For XRP, being very overvalued, this can result in another problem and damage of trust. In opposite, ETH was very undervalued based on it's use-case and offers an opportunity to buy some cheap ETH.
What's your opinion on this issue? Will ETH surpass XRP and stay in second place?
Ethereum is far greater than ripple and what happened in the past was a temporary set back! This is around third time that this overtaken has happened and I believe that the most time that both ethereum and ripple exist, I think ethereum has remained in second position above 90%. Cryptocurrencies market is recovering for another bull run and we should expect that to happen very soon.
The good news comes to ETH, I read if there will be a HARDFORK from ETH that wants to eliminate bugs about mining and its code so that the Minning costs will be even cheaper. But hopefully not only is that the community's trust in ETH hopefully will come back again.
Ethereum has already surpassed ripple in about $76,000,000 in market capitalization. I believe that ethereum will remain like this through out this year.
