XLM vs XRP

Been looking into the application of cryptocurrency and XLM & XRP seems interesting. With all the work that stellar dev foundation is doing and the progress they are making with partners like IBM and in world economic forum, I am wondering why XLM is still behind XRP in terms of market cap. Are you guys HODLing XLM? Specifically, if some one is not holding it or has sold it, what is your rationale behind it? #blockchain #crypto #xlm #xrp

Holding XLM. Rationale is it's partnerships. Not sure why it's behind xrp but will be watching this thread to see if anyone here has insight.

I agree. Partnerships are what drew me to researching about it as well. Do you hold XRPs as well?

It seems SDF is least interested in marketing while they crank out solid features and partnerships. I think there is a solid bull case for XLM that would happen more naturally as they continue to build more partnerships. They’re probably prioritizing long term over short term In terms of why XRP MCap is significantly higher, this market is all about the hype and the news. Ripple is a private (for profit) that would spend on marketing while SDF as I understand is a non profit that’s ignoring the hype train to make a quick buck

This was exactly my thought as well. Google trends give the same picture.

I'm not holding XLM because there's not much to do in terms of DeFi. All the coins in my portfolio are generating passive income for me in DeFi. I will probably get in if there's a decent DeFi protocol in XLM, I only use it when transferring between exchanges but recently I'm only using DEXes and Bridges for transferring assets.
