the first conclusion: ripple is not a currency, but a payment network; XRP currency used in the network is a kind of currency. Compared with bitcoin, the former is a payment system, while the latter is money, which is not the same kind of things, so there is no substitutability
bitcoin has been fried rotten, and hushang's answer is close to saturation, so we don't need to repeat our work. Let's focus on ripple
what is ripple
ripple is an open payment network. Just like ripple, the word ripple emphasizes the flow and transmission of funds
in life, acquaintances borrow money from each other and may not write IOU. Sometimes, several friends borrow money from each other, generate multi angle debts, and may adjust the relationship of debts and creditor's rights according to the alienation of relatives. For example, a owes B 5 yuan, B owes C 5 yuan, and a and C are familiar with each other. Once three people discuss, they may directly ask a to repay C. In fact, not only between acquaintances, many small shops and small companies will allow acquaintances to write off on credit
that is to say, everyone is more willing to have debt relationship with the people they trust or are familiar with, and through the trust network between people, funds can flow smoothly
the above is the money network between people in the real world. If all this happens in the Internet world, it is the money flow system that ripple is trying to achieve
but in this network, the relationship between you and your trusted acquaintances is transformed into the relationship between you and your trusted gateway. As the name suggests, a gateway is a "gateway" between one network and another, that is, a network gateway. To go from one room to another, you have to go through a door. Similarly, to send information from one network to another, you have to go through a "gateway", which is the gateway. As the interface between network and network, network and the real world, gateway is like a bank counter, which converts your currency into a series of numbers in your account
what happens in ripple is just like the reality. When you change 100 RMB into FCY issued by gateway a through gateway a, you will have an extra amount of 100fcy in your ripple account. You can transfer the 100fcy to a stranger through gateway a, such as Xiao Ming, Xiaoming can exchange the money into real-world RMB through gateway a. In the whole process, the relationship between creditor's rights and debt changes as follows:
1. You deposit 100 RMB into gateway a, and gateway a owes you 100 RMB and gives you a 100fcy IOU
2. You pass the IOU of 100fcy to Xiaoming through gateway A. at this time, gateway a no longer owes you money, but owes Xiaoming RMB 100, because the IOU is in Xiaoming's hands
3. Xiao Ming takes the IOU to go to gateway a to cash RMB 100
in the whole process, you and Xiao Ming only establish a trust relationship with gateway a, but you and Xiao Ming do not need to establish a trust relationship
what is XRP coin
what is XRP coin at the beginning? Its main function is to pay transaction costs
XRP is a kind of cryptocurrency embedded in ripple system. Unlike bitcoin, ripple issued 100 billion XRP coins at the beginning of its establishment, and the total amount is no longer increasing, that is to say, it has g up the mine ahead of time. Each transaction (for example, you transfer 100fcy to Xiaoming) requires a small amount of XRP currency, which is technically destroyed directly. At the same time, XRP coins are also used as margin. When you open a ripple account, you need to put 50 XRP coins in it as a guarantee
according to opencoin, the issuing and maintenance company of ripple, the first 100 billion XRP coins will be given to investors and founders, 50 billion will be distributed free of charge (that is, opening accounts for free for a period of time), and the other 30 billion will be held by opencoin, which will be sold from time to time to make profits. Opencoin also admits that holding and selling XRP coins is the only way to make a profit<
ripple's influence
at the beginning of ripple's birth, rumors abound. Many people claim that ripple is more in line with the operation mode of money flow in reality, and will replace bitcoin in the future
but in fact, it is too early to judge whether ripple system can succeed. As soon as ripple started to operate, many problems have been exposed, including that its security is not as good as the official propaganda
at the beginning, ripple itself is just a new currency circulation system or payment network, and the essence of XRP currency is the lubricant to assist the currency circulation in the system. If this system is successful one day, it will only have a positive impact on the circulation of bitcoin. To say that "Ripple can replace bitcoin" is actually equivalent to saying that "Alipay can replace the renminbi" is wrong: the former is the payment system, the latter is the currency, not the same thing, so there is no replaceability. The emergence of Alipay has facilitated the payment and flow of RMB. Similarly, if the Ripple system is successful, its role is only to facilitate the payment and circulation of legal tender and bitcoin.

@ Feng Chiyu
only mentioned the scene of ripple when users and users pay, but ripple is far more than that. I add two points: trading system and automatic path search
through a gateway, you can deposit RMB, US dollars or virtual currencies, such as bitcoin and Leyte currency, into ripple wallet. And in this system, you can achieve any currency to buy or sell a single transaction. Trading here is better than trading platform. The transaction information of traditional trading platform is not open and opaque. In ripple, every order, cancellation and transaction record can be fully inquired. Through websocket interface, developers can also implement automatic trading program, and basically get real-time data in addition to network delay Network delay depends on the situation, the delay of using US server may be less than 0.1 second!) However, most of the traditional trading platforms have a certain cache time for the API interface. A few seconds of cache time may be fatal to the automatic trading program
with this trading market, ripple can realize a very advanced means of payment - automatic path search
to give a practical example, if I was a Chinese programmer working for a company in the United States, I might get us dollars through Western Union remittance or other ways before, and then I would go to the bank to exchange them for RMB. In the middle of this, the handling cost is relatively high. With ripple, I can do this now:
I trust a RMB gateway, such as ripplecn or ripplechina gateway, which is one of the best RMB gateways in China. Then American companies deposit bitcoin or US dollars through bitsmap gateway and send them to ripple. The service charge is only about 0.000012xrp, It is equivalent to about RMB 0.00000108. Then I will directly receive the CNY quota in the ripple system and withdraw it at the RMB gateway. The service charge for withdrawal is 3% for ripple CN gateway and 6% for ripple China gateway. It only takes a few seconds to complete the automatic exchange payment in ripple system
the full-automatic exchange in the payment step is the automatic path search of ripple, which is the essence of ripple system. Path automatic search relies on the above-mentioned hanging single transaction system. If the above American company deposits bitcoin, the system will complete the following calculation in a few seconds: query the amount of XRP after BTC / XRP exchange, and then the amount of CNY after XRP / CNY exchange. If there is a more appropriate path, such as BTC / USD - & gt; USD/XRP-> XRP / CNY, or BTC / USD - & gt; USD / CNY, the system will also automatically calculate and find the cheapest path for the sender to complete the exchange payment
once, I used ripplecn gateway CNY, and my friend only trusted ripplechina. He wanted me to give him 10 yuan, so I entered the sending interface to input 10 yuan, but the system showed that I only needed to send 9.9998 yuan. Because there is a price difference between the two gateways in the CNY / XRP trading market, the system automatically realizes the path search and provides me with the cheapest payment path
there will be many applications on ripple in the future, and ripple's second payment experience is excellent. If you have a ripple wallet, try clicking send in the wallet and the recipient enters it [email protected] perhaps [email protected] There will be a call fee and Q coin recharge interface, which is an application I made for ripple. You can use XRP, U.S. dollar, RMB, bitcoin and other currencies to purchase q-coin, and exchange it into RMB in seconds to complete the recharge request automatically
ripple is likely to go against the weather in the future. As for bitcoin? His role in the virtual currency instry is similar to that of legal currency, which is totally different from ripple's payment system<

1 person agreed with the answer
ripple basic concept and principle, others have answered, simply speaking, it is a payment network, anyone can become a node of this network to issue currency and then circulate throughout the network. There are some innovations
but in the long run, it must grow faster than bitcoin, otherwise it is likely to lose in the competition, because at present, most of its functions can be realized in bitcoin network
from a technical point of view, because bitcoin has "dyeing" technology, anyone can issue currency, stocks, funds and so on by becoming a node on the bitcoin network. Assuming that the bitcoin is fully legalized, Alipay will turn 1 bitcoin "dyed" into the one and only special bitcoin that is unique and unforgery in the bitcoin network. Then it will promise the public that the stained coin can be exchanged for Alipay by 1 yuan. So the public can use Renminbi to exchange Alipay's "bit yuan" for consumption and payment. So these special bitcoins have what experts call "guarantee" or "anchor". As long as Alipay is credible, these "bit yuan" will always be valuable and can be used safely. At the same time, as bitcoin transactions are open throughout the network, everyone can see how much Alipay has issued "bit yuan", whether it has spammed money and oversold its own assets to guarantee the currency. So the only advantage of ripple in technology is that it can transfer money quickly. It doesn't need bitcoin to wait for dozens of minutes. But in the long run, bitcoin can speed up the transfer speed to a few minutes in the future through technical upgrading

But in the long run, bitcoin can speed up the transfer speed to a few minutes in the future through technical upgrading
2. Here's a brief introction to several mainstream digital currencies to give you a rough idea. After that, I will talk about the specific currency from time to time
bitcoin is the originator of digital currency and the most valuable virtual currency. Because blackmail virus only takes bitcoin, it has entered the public view. The soaring price of bitcoin in 2017 has attracted a large number of investors to enter the digital money market. Because the number is small, it is only 21 million, which has a strong deflationary attribute
of course, I am extremely optimistic about the future of bitcoin. Of course, many people are not optimistic about digital currency. Here, it is most pertinent to quote Krugman's view:
"at least for now, buying bitcoin is still a good investment. But that doesn't mean the experiment was successful. The original intention of establishing a monetary system is not to make those who hold money rich, but to make transactions convenient and benefit the whole economy. And none of these bitcoins came to us. "
reborn currency
a protocol currency issued by reborn, which is the base currency of reborn network. It can circulate in the whole reborn network, with a total amount of 100 billion, and graally decreases with the increase of transactions. Reborn currency is the only common currency in ripple system, which is different from other currencies in ripple system, Ripple labs (formerly known as opencoin) is the operating company of ripple coin
unlike bitcoin, reborn is a kind of transaction protocol, which is called smart contract in technical terms. It supports people to pay in any currency, and does not need a central data exchange center, so the transaction confirmation time of ripple is only 35 seconds, while that of bitcoin is 10-40 minutes
Ethereum
Ethereum is the name of currency used in Ethereum, which is used for payment calculation in Ethereum virtual machine. Ethereum is a blockchain that can be used to deploy decentralized applications. It is an open source computer platform and blockchain platform. At the end of 2013, it was founded by vitalik buterin, a Russian programmer
there is a key difference between the blockchain technologies used by Ethereum and bitcoin. Ethereum's data processing speed is faster than that of bitcoin, because once agreed, Ethereum's system will automatically apply to the terms and conditions in the contract
unlike bitcoin, the value of Ethereum depends on whether the applications on the platform of Ethereum are prosperous or not, just like the price of oil will rise with more machines using oil
bitcoin cash
bitcoin cash is a branch of bitcoin. In order to solve the problem of long transaction time of bitcoin, at 20:20 on August 1, 2017, a small number of mining machines began to use 8m block to start mining, and the transaction confirmation speed was thousands of times faster than that of bitcoin using 1m block
strictly speaking, however, there are different opinions on whether this is a new branch of bitcoin or another kind of "counterfeit currency". But now the offer of bitcoin cash is nearly 20000 yuan, so it's not too much to use it as a kind of "Shanzhai coin" to divide bitcoin traffic
IDA coin, ADA in English, is a proct of Cardano project. The total amount of Aida is 4.5 billion yuan, and 3 billion yuan will participate in the subscription. Among them, 2.5 billion ADA will be used for platform subscription, 500 million for the financial support of the development company's operating company, and 1.5 billion ADA coins will continue to be issued in the form of block awards
Cardano is a project started in 2015 to change the way cryptocurrency is designed and developed. This project is aimed at technical reformers, technical improvements to bitcoin and existing platforms. If bitcoin, Ethereum and other projects have many other shortcomings, Cardano can solve them<
lightcoin
a currency based on bitcoin protocol, but it does not require very high computing power, and it can also be mined by ordinary computer. Lightcoin's algorithm comes from the algorithm designed by Dr Colin Percival for tarsnap secure online backup service (backup for Linux and other open source operating systems)
for a long time, there has been a voice that "lightcoin will replace bitcoin", which is impossible. In the future, there will probably be a variety of cryptography currencies in the world, but any kind of counterfeit currency can not replace the mainstream position of bitcoin, no matter how excellent its algorithm is compared with bitcoin<
stellar currency
stellar currency, a digital currency project initiated by Jed McCaleb, the former founder of ripple, is used to build a decentralized gateway between digital currency and legal tender. It will be provided to users in the form of free distribution, and its supply online is 100 billion, of which 95% of the amount of star coin is used for free distribution
star is a diversified team. The board members include Keith rabois, former COO of square, Patrick collison, CEO of stripe, Jackson Palmer, co-founder of dogcoin, and naval Ravikant, co-founder of angellist, who will be the consultant of the project< New economy movement, or NEM, was founded on January 19, 2014. The founder is a mysterious person in bitcointalk.org forum called utopianfuture. The original intention of utopian future was to build a second-generation digital currency NXT. He then realized that NXT's distribution model was unreasonable, so he devoted himself to NEM with egalitarian distribution
as a kind of cryptocurrency, new coin does not need much computing resources to maintain the operation of nodes. The proof of importance (POI) engine of NEM reces the threshold of computing resources to participate in non-traditional blockchain<
dascoin
formerly known as black coin, is a kind of counterfeit currency of bitcoin, which focuses on anonymous function. There are many innovations, such as master node network, fast payment, mixed currency anonymous technology, proposals can vote, and developers have fixed budget support. The core consists of a unique incentive P2P network. Miners are rewarded for maintaining blockchain security; The main node holders are rewarded for verifying transactions, storing data and providing a variety of services
the feature of anonymity meets the needs of some investors for absolute privacy. Although bitcoin is also widely used in money laundering and other illegal transactions e to its anonymity, it is only "pseudo anonymity", and the transaction of bitcoin can still be traced back to the traders themselves.

3.
ways to purchase digital currency:
at present, digital currency is more like an investment proct. Due to the lack of a strong guarantee institution to maintain its price stability, its role as a measure of value has not yet appeared, nor can it be used as a means of payment. As an investment proct, the development of digital currency is inseparable from trading platforms, operating companies and investors
trading platforms play the role of trading agents, while some play the role of market makers. The profits of these trading platforms come from the current expenses and premium income of investors trading or holding digital currency
1. Investors need to register accounts first, and obtain digital currency accounts and US dollar or other foreign exchange accounts at the same time
2. Users can use the money in their cash account to buy and sell digital currency, just like buying and selling stocks and futures
3. The trading platform will sort the buying and selling requests according to the rules and start matching. If the requirements are met, the transaction will be completed
4. Due to the difference between the trading volume submitted by users, the trading request can be partially executed
take RBM operated by professional operation company opencoin as an example: ripple protocol was originally designed based on payment method, and its design idea was based on acquaintance relationship network and trust chain. Using ripple network for remittance or loan, the premise is that the payee and the payer must be friends or have common friends. Otherwise, the trust chain between users and other users cannot be established, and the transmission cannot be carried out
extended information:
the characteristics of digital currency are as follows:
1, low transaction cost
compared with traditional bank transfer, remittance and other methods, digital currency transaction does not need to pay fees to the third party, and its transaction cost is lower, especially compared with the cross-border payment of high handling charges to payment service providers
2, fast transaction speed
the blockchain technology used in digital currency has the characteristics of decentralization, and it does not need any centralized organization similar to the clearing center to process data, so the transaction processing speed is faster
3, high anonymity
in addition to the physical form of currency can achieve peer-to-peer transactions without intermediary participation, one of the advantages of digital currency compared with other electronic payment methods is that it supports remote peer-to-peer payment, and it does not need any trusted third party as intermediary
both sides of the transaction can complete the transaction in a completely strange situation without mutual trust, so they have higher anonymity and can protect the privacy of the traders, but at the same time, they also create convenience for cyber crime, which is easy to be used by money laundering and other criminal activities

It doesn't matter
the central bank's digital currency is digital RMB, which is issued by the people's Bank of China. On March 9, 2018, Zhou Xiaochuan, then governor of the central bank, officially disclosed the name of the legal digital currency being developed as DCEP at a press conference
DCEP is the abbreviation of digital currency electronic payment. This means that the central bank's digital currency will have the al functions of legal currency and electronic payment at the same time In September 2013, the Ministry of Public Security announced 10 typical pyramid selling cases, among which "Cloud Data Trade" is a large-scale pyramid selling mode in China
extended data:
specifically, the characteristics of DCEP are mainly reflected in finance and technology
1. As far as its financial characteristics are concerned, the functions and attributes of the central bank's digital currency are exactly the same as those of the RMB paper currency, which is only a digital version of the paper currency. This shows that digital currency is legal tender, and it depends on national credit to maintain the circulation system of digital currency. Mu Changchun, director of the digital currency Research Institute of the central bank, clearly pointed out that DCEP "is a digital payment tool with value characteristics"
In economics, M0 is often used to refer to the cash circulating outside the banking system. The central bank's positioning of DCEP is to replace M0, that is, to replace cash2. In terms of technical features, the digital currency of the central bank has not fully adopted the blockchain technology. The blockchain research group of the digital currency Research Institute of the people's Bank of China has pointed out in a paper that the processing efficiency of the blockchain system needs to be improved. The encrypted assets based on this technology can not guarantee the stability of its anchored assets. At the same time, its decentralization also conflicts with the central bank's centralized management requirements
however, it is said that digital currency draws lessons from some of these technical concepts, such as asymmetric encryption, smart contract and so on. The new cryptocurrency system has the advantages of security, controllable anonymity and unforgeability, which makes up for the problems of high cost, difficult tracking and large counterfeiting
5. Digital currency is abbreviated as digiccy, which is the abbreviation of "digital currency" in English. It is an alternative currency in the form of electronic currency. Both digital gold coin and cryptocurrency belong to digiccy
