Crypto Currency

‍

Crypto Currency is an alternative form of money that is decentralized. Unlike traditional currencies that are backed by a central bank, such as the U.S. dollar, which the government fully supports, cryptocurrencies are maintained by the users. This makes them much safer than traditional currencies. In addition, they are easier to invest in.

Bitcoin

Cryptocurrencies are virtual, decentralized currency systems that are based on cryptography. Network nodes verify and record transactions in a public ledger called the blockchain. These ledgers are updated in real time, and anyone can access them. The bitcoin blockchain is a global public record of transactions.

Bitcoin has been around since 2009 and has become a popular medium of exchange for electronic transactions. Its development was triggered by its rising popularity. Since its creation, it has inspired the creation of dozens of competing cryptocurrencies. Some are designed to replace Bitcoin as a payment system, while others are simply utility tokens in other blockchains. Bitcoin is the world's largest cryptocurrency by market capitalization.

Ripple

Ripple is a cryptocurrency that aims to be a secure and decentralized means of making payments. Its creator, Ryan Fugger, originally wanted to create a system that would give people control over their resources. Jed McCaleb subsequently brought on Chris Larsen, who made a consensus-based cryptocurrency. However, in 2012, Ryan Fugger sold his shares in the company.

To facilitate cross-border payments, Ripple has three products. They are xCurrent, xVia, and xRapid. xCurrent allows cross-border fiat payments, while xVia and xRapid allow for amounts of up to 100 currencies simultaneously.

XRP

XRP is a cryptocurrency that does not use a centralized system. Each user has a unique XRP address and a secret key. This address can be shared with anyone, but the private key should be confidential. If you lose your secret key, someone can gain access to your XRP account.

XRP is used to make payments and remit money internationally. It can also be used for micropayments. Each transaction requires a minimum of 10 drops. This makes it a perfect candidate for micropayment applications.
