My own call, my money to loser etc
I thought ETH looked the stronger play - the technology and potential behind it sounds insane; but with the cash I have to lose at present, the volume I'd get would be so small it might not be worth it, where as I can load up on Ripple.
Yep that's it in a nutshell. What's more likely to double ETH at $218 or Ripple at 30 cents. Short term ETH may increase more but Ripple is the much better long term IMO.
