What Is Ripple XRP? 

Ripple is a company that can be best described as a “next generation blockchain” that also provides a digital asset that can be used to securely pay and be paid with almost any other cryptocurrency or traditional currency. While Ripple was originally created as an XRP-only payment system, it also supports a variety of other blockchains and cryptocoins. In this article, we'll cover everything you need to know about the Ripple XRP (hereafter referred to as simply XRP) – from the history of the project all the way to current events and price movements.

The Early Days Of Ripple

The history of cryptocurrency dates all the way back to the very earliest days of Bitcoin. It started with the idea of a digital “bank” that could be trusted because it was “decentralized” and “open-source” – meaning that everyone could have access to the code and validation of the system occurred on a consensus basis rather than at the mercy of a third party. Bitcoin was released in 2009 and did not replace currency per se, but rather functioned as a medium of exchange.

The first implementation of a decentralized digital ledger was called Filecoin. In this system, data is embedded in the blockchain of a coin called “Filecoin.” Once data is stored in the ledger, it is essentially impossible to delete it. This way, even if someone wanted to erase their contribution to the ledger, the data would still exist and could be verified by anyone with access to the network.

Before long, other blockchains began to adopt the same protocol, resulting in a whole host of different cryptocurrencies that use the “Filecoin” structure. Ripple grew out of this movement. The founders of Ripple wanted to create a platform that would support multiple blockchains, and as a result, Ripple was born a few years back in 2012.

The Goals Of Ripple

Ripple is a fairly unique company when compared to other cryptocurrency projects in that it was founded with the intention of providing a platform that could work with legacy systems and financial institutions. One of the first projects to be built on top of the Ripple platform is a product called “Ripple Gateway.” This product allows institutions to send and receive money using the cryptocurrencies supported by the Ripple platform. Essentially, it is an “implementation guide” that shows how to use Ripple's network to move money around your institution – whether that be a bank, credit card processing company, or something else.

Another major goal of Ripple is to create a “closed-loop” cryptocurrency exchange. This basically means that traders can send payments to and from almost any wallet or bank account, using almost any other supported cryptocurrency as a means of exchange. This functionality was made possible by the development of a new technology called “settlement technology.” The goal of this technology is to provide the ability to securely and instantly exchange assets without the need to exchange fiat currency first and then use a different medium to complete the transaction.

How Does Ripple Work?

Ripple is a digital asset that provides a number of benefits to users and institutions that choose to implement it. First off, it is “open-source” – which means that the technology behind it is freely available to the whole world. This also means that anyone can review the code, create derivative products, and provide further development and support for this cryptocurrency. Finally, Ripple provides a way to send and receive funds with almost any other cryptocurrency or traditional currency, in an instant and trust-free manner – making it, in many ways, the defacto standard for digital asset transaction.

To send a payment using Ripple, you first need to sign up with their ecosystem. This is simply a matter of providing your email address and deciding what currency you would like to use to complete your transactions (XRP is the native currency of the Ripple network, and it is arguably the most popular cryptocurrency among users due to its liquidity and trading volume). Once you have signed up, you can start using their platform to make instant and secure transactions.

Where Can I Spend My XRP?

The first and most obvious place that you can spend your XRP is on the various shops and services that accept this currency. You can use your XRP to make instant purchases of pretty much anything from coffee makers to clothes to restaurants to gas stations.

If you have any of the cryptocurrencies native to the Ripple network (XRP included), you can use them to purchase goods and services from businesses that accept these currencies. If you don't have any of these cryptocurrencies yet, there are a variety of places that you can purchase them. Don't worry – there are no charges or fees associated with any of these transactions.

What Is The Difference Between Ripple And XRP?

Ripple and XRP are two separate and distinct that serve different purposes. Ripple was originally designed as a decentralized digital asset with a strong focus on international payment transfers. In fact, the name “Ripple” originates from the first payment system that they developed and released in 2011 – initially called “Ripple,” but later changed to “XRP” due to trademark issues. In general, Ripple was designed to operate independently from any government or corporate entity. This is why it is popular among individuals and businesses that want to avoid the scrutiny and interference of governments and financial regulators.

XRP was designed as a cryptocurrency for use within the Ripple ecosystem, and as such, it has some similarities to Bitcoin in that it also does not physically represent value in the way that traditional currencies do. Instead, when you want to make a purchase using XRP, you need to have some other form of investment (most commonly, another cryptocurrency) in order to be able to complete the transaction. XRP was originally created as a rival to Bitcoin. While Bitcoin is the first generation of cryptocurrency, XRP was designed to replace Bitcoin – both as a store of value and as a medium of exchange. This is why many consider it to be the “second generation” of cryptocurrencies.

If you are new to cryptocurrency, it is recommended to start with XRP. The fact is, both Ripple and XRP have seen significant price appreciation over the years, and for now, represent great investment opportunities.
