You cant figure out why xrp is doing badly? Are you joking me?
Shed light to the truth then.
XRP has much more potential than ETH, there is very little usage of ETH nowadays . ICO boom has died down,and applications on current ETH are slow and not rational to make. The problem with XRP as others has suggested here would be the difference between ripple tech and and the ripple usage itself.
I agree about ICOs now being few and far compared to the 2017 craze and also think that Ripple has potential that ETH has not but it is a matter of trying to get it used widely.
I still believe in XRP but am not happy at the way the price has fallen below $0.30
