I dont approve the thinking way of ripple but there is a big chance that people aren't ready for the big change that's going to happen with ethereum's project and the blockchain evolution.
ripple stays with the economy's concept,
while ethereum is wiling to change the world but ripple is currently faster accepted by the economy while ethereum is joining forces with allot of very wel known companies like Microsoft and intel and so much others.
we wil be seeing a fierce battle of who is coming out on top.
