Brief Intro

Often times people use the words Ripple and XRP interchangeably. However, Ripple is the company behind the cryptocurrency, XRP. The company wants to help banks (and other financial institutions) move money faster, easily, and with less fees instead of focusing on helping people buy goods and services with XRP. In other words, you can think of them as trying to bridge traditional banking with cryptocurrencies. Unlike bitcoin, XRP are not mined. Instead they are held by Ripple. The company created 100 billion XRP at the beginning of its inception, eventually selling them every month to raise funds. The smallest unit of XRP is called a ‘drop’ with 1 XRP equalling 1 million drops. Looking to buy and sell XRP? Netcoins is Canada’s first publicly owned crypto trading platform to be fully regulated. Simply create an account with Netcoins, fund it with an e-Transfer (more funding options available) and head to the trade page to buy XRP.

More about XRP

Why Buy XRP?

XPR is unique from other major cryptocurrencies, like bitcoin or ethereum. Rather than being a decentralized cryptocurrency for the people (like bitcoin), XRP is a centralized cryptocurrency focused on helping banks and other financial institutions move money quickly around the world at a fraction of the cost. With that said, XRP isn’t trying to be a currency people can use to buy and sell goods as much as it’s a currency in service to banks. Thanks to the technology invented by Ripple, the XRP blockchain can process around 1,500 transactions per second. In comparison, the Bitcoin blockchain can process only a handful of transactions per second. Plus, XRP transactions can be confirmed in three to five seconds, whereas Bitcoin transactions are confirmed in ten minutes. Faster processing times can help the currency scale faster and gain wider adoption.

How Much XRP Can I Buy?

You don’t need to buy a lot of XRP to get started! You can buy fractions of an XRP. In fact, the smallest possible unit of XRP is called a drop and is equivalent to 0.000001 XRP (6 decimal places). Put another way, 1 XRP = 1 million drops. Many beginners start their XRP journey by accumulating small amounts of XRP. You can start as small as $10, or invest up to $10 million with Netcoins.

Things to Consider Before Investing in XRP

Like bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies, XRP has created millionaires overnight but it has also made people lose their wealth. Buying XRP is still considered a risky investment given its volatility. But high volatility can work in both directions. It can work in your favour and yield great potential for return. And it can work against you by causing you to take on big losses. That is why it’s important to never invest more than you’re ready or willing to lose. For many investors though, buying XRP is seen as a great opportunity to invest in the future of banking – an industry long-plagued by outdated technologies and ineffective processes. However, keep in mind that XRP is a centralized cryptocurrency, meaning it puts all the power on a centralized entity like Ripple. At any moment, Ripple could change the rules of the game, the code that runs the XRP network, and ultimately the supply of XRP, violating the trust of the network.
