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
Novice first of all to know how to calculate your cost, recharge, trading, cash, there are fees. At least you can understand the K-line. There are a lot of people on the K-line. You can look at it casually and understand it. You need to be risk aware. Bitcoin is a high-risk and high profit investment. It may double overnight, or BMW may become a bicycle overnight. At the beginning, we suggest a small amount of investment
but it's hard to get bitcoin for indivial mining, so it's basically large-scale mining, and you need to cooperate with the mine pool. So if you still want to make money by mining, at present, the most suitable mining method is cloud mining or mining machine hosting. After all, the era of single person mining is over
From the moment bitcoin was born, it was worthless, then it was stir fried, and then it was stopped by the supervision. It's really a roller coaster story. The news of the closing of bitcoin trading platform is increasingly true, and the regulatory authorities have made a conclusion on domestic bitcoin trading platforms: "bitcoin China will shut down and withdraw from the market in the near future." So, can bitcoin investors withdraw cash
bitcoin China will be shut down
bitcoin China will be shut down: Xiaobian learned from multiple sources that bitcoin trading platform will be shut down at the end of September. Regulators close to the local Internet Finance rectification office told China first finance and economics reporters on September 14 that the regulatory authorities have reached a conclusion on the domestic bitcoin trading platform: "all of them will be shut down, and they will withdraw from the market in the near future."
Can bitcoin investors still withdraw cash?Xiaobian then learned from the sources of Shanghai financial office that Shanghai has begun to issue "verbal instructions" to several bitcoin trading platforms under its jurisdiction, shut down the trading platforms and make them withdraw from the market. The time node is set at the end of September
as for the stock business of the platform, a person from a bitcoin platform told the reporter of China first finance and economics that the regulatory requirement is to "negotiate with the platform and customers". The above-mentioned sources close to the regulation also said that the regulatory requirements should be solved smoothly and properly, but the overall strength is relatively large this time
the voice of bitcoin China on the evening of September 14 confirms the above news. The official microblog announced that bitcoin China digital asset trading platform will stop new user registration from the same day; On September 30, 2017, the digital asset trading platform will stop all trading businesses. Bitcoin China's mining pool (national pool) and other businesses will not be affected
can bitcoin investors withdraw cash
first of all, before the implementation of regulatory policies, it is still possible to withdraw cash on the platform and convert bitcoin into RMB. In addition, if the policy is implemented, cash withdrawal can be completed in other international exchanges, such as the US dollar. According to the existing notice, if the virtual currency trading platform announces to suspend the exchange between legal tender and virtual currency, investors who have purchased virtual currencies such as bitcoin will not be able to withdraw RMB cash for the time being, an instry source said
however, cash withdrawal can be completed in other international exchanges, such as the US dollar. Take bitcoin as an example, you can transfer the bitcoin purchased on the domestic virtual currency trading platform to the bitcoin wallet, and then complete the withdrawal in the overseas virtual currency exchange. At the same time, cash can be withdrawn through the over-the-counter channel. According to the analysis of instry insiders, the over-the-counter trading channel between bitcoin and RMB (i.e. not trading through the platform) has not been blocked
mining is a process of consuming computing resources to process transactions, ensuring network security and keeping everyone's information synchronized in the network. It can be understood as the data center of bitcoin. The difference lies in its completely decentralized design. Miners operate all over the world, and no one can control the network. This process is called "mining" because it is similar to gold panning, because it is also a temporary mechanism for issuing new bitcoin. However, unlike gold panning, bitcoin mining provides rewards for services that ensure the safe operation of payment networks. After the last bitcoin, mining is still necessary. At present, mining is a very professional work, you need to buy a professional ASIC Avalon 3 generation miner for mining, and also need to join a mine pool
bitcoin is decentralized and not issued and controlled by any institution. Only bitcoin foundation is responsible for development and maintenance. The ore is free, but the equipment needs to be purchased. The exchange rate is high, which is a kind of trust in the bitcoin. It's a big social experiment. As long as you dig bitcoin, you won't worry about spending it. At present, thousands of businesses accept bitcoin around the world, such as the famous Dell company. There are also some businesses that accept bitcoin in China.
it's OK to talk about money speculation by auntie. Retail investors will only be compensated if they don't have the technology to enter the market. Now, it's only the influx of some domestic consortia that makes the price rise.
