Bitcoin is the first successful internet money based on peer-to-peer technology; whereby no central bank or authority is involved in the transaction and production of the Bitcoin currency. It was created by an anonymous individual/group under the name, Satoshi Nakamoto. The source code is available publicly as an open source project, anybody can look at it and be part of the developmental process.  Bitcoin is changing the way we see money as we speak. The idea was to produce a means of exchange, independent of any central authority, that could be transferred electronically in a secure, verifiable and immutable way. It is a decentralized peer-to-peer internet currency making mobile payment easy, very low transaction fees, protects your identity, and it works anywhere all the time with no central authority and banks.  Bitcoin is designed to have only 21 million BTC ever created, thus making it a deflationary currency. Bitcoin uses the SHA-256 hashing algorithm with an average transaction confirmation time of 10 minutes. Miners today are mining Bitcoin using ASIC chip dedicated to only mining Bitcoin, and the hash rate has shot up to peta hashes.  Being the first successful online cryptography currency, Bitcoin has inspired other alternative currencies such as Litecoin, Peercoin, Primecoin, and so on.  The cryptocurrency then took off with the innovation of the turing-complete smart contract by Ethereum which led to the development of other amazing projects such as EOS, Tron, and even crypto-collectibles such as CryptoKitties.

Ethereum is a global, open-source platform for decentralized applications. In other words, the vision is to create a world computer that anyone can build applications in a decentralized manner; while all states and data are distributed and publicly accessible. Ethereum supports smart contracts in which developers can write code in order to program digital value. Examples of decentralized apps (dapps) that are built on Ethereum includes tokens, non-fungible tokens, decentralized finance apps, lending protocol, decentralized exchanges, and much more.  On Ethereum, all transactions and smart contract executions require a small fee to be paid. This fee is called Gas. In technical terms, Gas refers to the unit of measure on the amount of computational effort required to execute an operation or a smart contract. The more complex the execution operation is, the more gas is required to fulfill that operation. Gas fees are paid entirely in Ether (ETH), which is the native coin of the blockchain. The price of gas can fluctuate from time to time depending on the network demand.

Ethereum is trending amid a broader crypto selloff, with community chatter focused on potential liquidations and bearish sentiment dominating discussions.

Ripple is the catchall name for the cryptocurrency platform, the transactional protocol for which is actually XRP, in the same fashion as Ethereum is the name for the platform that facilitates trades in Ether. Like other cryptocurrencies, Ripple is built atop the idea of a distributed ledger network which requires various parties to participate in validating transactions, rather than any singular centralized authority. That facilitates transactions all over the world, and transfer fees are far cheaper than the likes of bitcoin. Unlike other cryptocurrencies, XRP transfers are effectively immediate, requiring no typical confirmation time.  Ripple was originally founded by a single company, Ripple Labs, and continues to be backed by it, rather than the larger network of developers that continue bitcoin’s development. It also doesn’t have a fluctuating amount of its currency in existence. Where bitcoin has a continually growing pool with an eventual maximum, and Ethereum theoretically has no limit, Ripple was created with all of its 100 billion XRP tokens right out of the gate. That number is maintained with no mining and most of the tokens are owned and held by Ripple Labs itself — around 60 billion at the latest count.  Even at the recently reduced value of around half a dollar per XRP, that means Ripple Labs is currently sitting on around $20 billion worth of the cryptocurrency (note: Ripple’s price crashed hard recently, and may be worth far less than $60 billion by time you read this). It holds 55 billion XRP in an escrow account, which allows it to sell up to a billion per month if it so chooses in order to fund new projects and acquisitions. Selling such an amount would likely have a drastic effect on the cryptocurrency’s value, and isn’t something Ripple Labs plans to do anytime soon.  In actuality, Ripple Labs is looking to leverage the technology behind XRP to allow for faster banking transactions around the world. While Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies are built on the idea of separating financial transactions from the financial organizations of traditional currencies, Ripple is almost the opposite in every sense.  XRP by Ripple price can be found on this page alongside the market capitalization and additional stats.

Ripple

XRP is trending as the crypto market experiences liquidations and investors assess potential price impacts.

The timestamped headline on the Genesis Block, mined on January 3, 2009, read, "Chancellor on brink of second bailout for banks." It was a direct critique of a system that had erased wealth while protecting institutional actors during 2008 financial crisis.Today, that radical vision has been partially co-opted by the very institutions Bitcoin was designed to circumvent.<h2 class="st-heading-2">Centralization Forces Enter the Fray</h2>Strategy’s pivot in 2020 set the stage for this shift.

Strategy records the changes in the fair value of the Bitcoin it holds to measure its net income, making it highly prone to volatility.Strategy’s gains came amid a rise in Bitcoin prices to about $114,000 by the end of September, up from approximately $107,000 at the beginning of July. The company’s Bitcoin holdings rose to 640,808 in October, up from 597,325 at the start of the third quarter.In its software segment, total revenue rose nearly 11% to $128.7 million year over year, driven by a jump in subscription revenue.

The first is capital flow between gold and Bitcoin. A sharp selloff in gold earlier this week coincided with an intraday bounce in Bitcoin, possibly indicating a shift in investor preference. “Further such evidence would be constructive for a bitcoin low being formed,” he said.The second factor is potential easing by the Federal Reserve. Kendrick noted that several liquidity indicators have been tightening, and an end to quantitative tightening could create a more favorable environment for Bitcoin.The third factor Kendrick noted was that Bitcoin has consistently held above its 50-week moving average since early 2023, when it was trading around $25,000.<h2 class="st-heading-2">Kendrick Reaffirms $200K Target</h2>Earlier this month, Kendrick set a year-end price target of $200,000, citing risks tied to a potential U.S. government shutdown, Bitcoin’s correlation with Treasury premiums, and ETF inflows.&nbsp;While the rally has since paused, he reiterated his view that the broader uptrend remains intact and that dips below $100,000 could be viewed as long-term entry opportunities rather than trend reversals.Read also:&nbsp;<a href="https://stocktwits.com/news-articles/markets/equity/falconx-to-acquire-21shares-in-push-toward-crypto-etf-expansion/cLG5IeoR3qc">FalconX To Acquire 21Shares In Push Toward Crypto ETF Expansion: Report</a>For updates and corrections, email newsroom[at]stocktwits[dot]com.
