Virtual currency and bit ratio
1. The concept range is different. bitcoin is a kind of digital currency, and the concept of digital currency covers bitcoin
However, some digital currencies have independent issuers The biggest difference between bitcoin and other virtual currencies is that the total quantity of bitcoin is very limited and it has a strong scarcity. The monetary system used to have no more than 10.5 million in four years, after which the total number will be permanently limited to 21 milliondigital 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. Bitcoin is a digital currency
digital currency is different from the virtual currency in the virtual world, because it can be used for real goods and services transactions, not limited to online games. The early digital currency (digital gold currency) is a form of electronic currency named after the weight of gold
today's digital currencies, such as bitcoin, lettercoin and ppcoin, are electronic currencies created, issued and circulated by means of check sum cryptography. It is characterized by the use of P2P peer-to-peer network technology to issue, manage and circulate currency. In theory, it avoids bureaucratic examination and approval, so that everyone has the right to issue currency
illegal digital currency
in recent years, "virtual currency" represented by bitcoin, Ethernet currency and Leyte currency has been traded centrally on some Internet platforms. With the help of financial technology, the price of these "currencies" has graally spread to investment, financing and other financial fields, which has aroused wide attention from all walks of life
not long ago, the people's Bank of China and other seven ministries and commissions jointly issued the announcement on preventing the financing risk of token issuance, which clearly regulated the relevant behaviors. Experts pointed out that "virtual currency" is not legal tender (legal currency) issued by monetary authorities, but a specific virtual commodity in essence
therefore, it is undoubtedly a great legal and economic risk to think that "virtual currency" has or will have the nature of legal tender and to carry out speculation, network fund-raising, lending and financing
according to the notice and announcement issued by the people's Bank of China and other departments, virtual currency is not issued by the monetary authority, does not have legal compensation and mandatory monetary attributes, is not a real currency, does not have the same legal status as currency, cannot and should not be used as currency in the market, and citizens' investment and transaction of virtual currency are not protected by law

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
1. Litcoin (LTC) is an improved version of digital currency inspired by bitcoin (BTC). It was designed and implemented by a programmer who worked in Google. It was released on November 9, 2011. Lightcoin and bitcoin have the same implementation principle in technology, but the creation and transfer of lightcoin is based on an open source encryption protocol, which is not managed by any central organization
2. Sunshine coin (SSC for short) is sponsored by Liu Chunyang, vice president of Jinhua express delivery Association of Zhejiang Province, instrial entrepreneur and philanthropist of express delivery instry. As a legal person, Zhejiang Dongyang Yueyin Technology Co., Ltd. is registered with the formal instry and Commerce Bureau, with a registered capital of 10 million yuan. With this as the backing and support, the sunshine elite team affiliated to the company launched the first virtual coin sunshine coin
The English name of Vicat is onecoin, which is a kind of Internet virtual currency term created by the government and is suspected of pyramid selling fraudin 2017, CCTV announced the list of 350 fund pyramid schemes, with Vicat in the list
in May 2018, Zhuzhou County Procuratorate of Hunan Province prosecuted the last four suspects involved in the third batch of the "3.15" Vicat money online pyramid scheme case supervised by the Ministry of public security to the court
4. Amazon coin
Amazon announced in early February 2013 that it is expected to launch Amazon coins in the United States in May 2013. Amazon coins is a new virtual currency that allows U.S. users to buy apps, games and props in the kindle fire. Amazon will provide tens of millions of US dollars of Amazon coins at that time to let users try and consume the apps, games and props in the app on the kindle fire for free
5. Eth is a kind of digital token of Ethereum, which is regarded as "bitcoin version 2.0". It adopts the blockchain technology "Ethereum", which is different from bitcoin. It is an open-source public blockchain platform with intelligent contract results, and a resonance network composed of thousands of computers around the world. Developers need to pay eth to support the application. Like other digital currencies, ether currency can be bought and sold on the trading platform
1. Q coin
Q coin, referred to as QB, also known as QQ coin, Tencent Q coin, etc. Usually its exchange rate is 1q currency = 1 RMB, with Tencent paipai net transactions are generally 10% off
QB is a virtual currency launched by Tencent, which can be used to pay for QQ bank number, QQ member service and other services. Tencent q-coin, through the purchase of QQ card, telephone recharge, bank card recharge, network recharge, mobile phone recharge card, one card recharge card and other ways to obtain
The face value of QQ card is 10 yuan, 15 yuan, 30 yuan, 60 yuan, 100 yuan and 200 yuan respectivelythere is another kind of electronic cryptocurrency, qqcoin, which is not related to each other
2. Litecoin
litecoin, abbreviated as LTC, currency symbol: Ł; It is a kind of network currency based on "peer-to-peer" technology. It is also an open source software project under MIT / X11 license. It can help users make instant payments to anyone in the world
lightcoin is inspired by bitcoin (BTC) and has the same implementation principle in technology. The creation and transfer of lightcoin is based on an open source encryption protocol and is not managed by any central organization
3, infinite coin
infinite coin (hereinafter referred to as IFC) is a new digital currency, which has more circulation advantages than bitcoin, and fills the short board of bitcoin in the field of commercial circulation and promoting commercial operation. The positioning of unlimited money is to serve the daily life of small transaction payment
one transaction of infinite coin needs three confirmations, each confirmation takes three seconds, and the transaction confirmation speed is very fast. Because bitcoin transaction needs 6 confirmations, which takes about 1 hour, and lightcoin transaction takes 15 minutes, infinite coin is used in daily common transactions, which is more practical
infinite coin was released on June 5, 2013. Based on scrypt POW algorithm. A block is generated in 30 seconds. In the initial block, there are 524288 infinite coins in each block. After that, for every 86400 blocks generated, the number of coins in the block is halved, with a total of 90.6 billion. The difficulty of mining is adjusted every hour
Quark coin is not the currency in real life, it exists safely in the computer of global networkquark network is protected by six most advanced encryption algorithms to ensure that it can become a digital ledger. The whole network uses each of the six functions to generate a proof of work, and the coin maker must "verify" these transactions to ensure that each coin increase is real and effective
only regular computer can participate in ensuring that it can maintain a highly secure peer-to-peer network, which makes it more decentralized
quark coins can only be g up through the CPU of regular computers. In the first 36 weeks, a total of 247605120 quark coins will be g out. Since March 30, 2014, the annual quark coins set at 1050000 can enter the market through "digging", and the block reward will never be less than one, which is currently two
Zetacoin is an open-source digital currency based on SHA-256 algorithm. The initial coin mining is 160 million coins, and the subsequent annual inflation is a better incentive, To keep the hash of the network is not pure transaction cost The total number ofzetacoin is 160 million, 1000 zets per block and half of 80640 zets per block
unlike most currencies, bitcoin does not rely on specific currency institutions. It is generated by a large number of calculations based on specific algorithms. Bitcoin economy uses a distributed database composed of many nodes in the whole P2P network to confirm and record all transactions, and uses cryptography design to ensure the security of all aspects of currency circulation. The decentralized nature and algorithm of P2P can ensure that it is impossible to artificially manipulate the value of bitcoin through mass proction. The design based on cryptography can make bitcoin only be transferred or paid by the real owner. This also ensures the anonymity of money ownership and circulation transactions. The biggest difference between bitcoin and other virtual currencies is that the total amount of bitcoin is very limited and it has a strong scarcity. The monetary system used to have no more than 10.5 million in four years, after which the total number will be permanently limited to 21 million
bitcoin can be cashed and converted into the currency of most countries. Users can use bitcoin to buy some virtual items, such as clothes, hats and equipment in online games. As long as someone accepts it, they can also use bitcoin to buy real-life items[ 1-2]
on February 26, 2014, Joe Manchin, a Democratic senator from West Virginia, issued an open letter to a number of regulatory authorities of the US federal government, hoping that the relevant institutions would pay attention to the status quo of bitcoin's encouraging illegal activities and disrupting the financial order, and take action as soon as possible to completely ban the electronic currency[ 3]
from 12:00 noon on January 24, 2017, China's three major bitcoin platforms officially began to collect transaction fees.
