Bitcoin is the world's first decentralized cryptocurrency, created in 2009 by the pseudonymous Satoshi Nakamoto. It enables peer-to-peer electronic cash transactions without intermediaries like banks or governments, operating on a blockchain secured by Proof of Work mining and the SHA-256 cryptographic algorithm.   With a fixed supply cap of 21 million coins and programmatic halvings every four years that reduce miner rewards, Bitcoin is designed as a deflationary digital asset often called "digital gold." Its value stems from solving the double-spending problem without trusted intermediaries, creating the first truly scarce digital asset with censorship resistance and permissionless access that no government, corporation, or individual can control.  Bitcoin operates as a decentralized peer-to-peer network where transactions are recorded on a public ledger called the blockchain, distributed across thousands of computers globally. Transactions are grouped into blocks added approximately every 10 minutes through mining, where specialized computers compete to solve complex mathematical puzzles.   Bitcoin has achieved mainstream adoption through multiple vectors. The January 2024 SEC approval of 11 spot Bitcoin ETFs opened Bitcoin investment to traditional finance participants, and corporations like Strategy (formerly MicroStrategy) are using Bitcoin as a treasury reserve asset to protect against currency debasement, offering MSTR holders amplified exposure to Bitcoin.   The Bitcoin ecosystem continues to evolve with innovations like Ordinals, which emerged in January 2023 to enable NFT-like functionality directly on Bitcoin, and BRC-20 tokens, an experimental standard for creating fungible tokens using Ordinal inscriptions. BTCFi (Bitcoin Finance) represents emerging financial applications extending beyond Bitcoin's traditional role, with protocols like Babylon allowing Bitcoin holders to stake BTC to secure Proof of Stake chains.

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 amidst overall crypto market volatility and the launch of new ETFs, sparking debates on their potential impact. Community discussions revolve around whether XRP can decouple from Bitcoin's influence and the significance of upcoming ISO20022 compliance. Some traders express frustration with price stagnation, while others remain optimistic about long-term utility and institutional adoption.

Aurora Innovation, Inc. (AUR) shares slumped 4.5% on Monday, aligning with the broader market decline. The declines came despite the “Aurora Driver” Level 4 self-driving systems provider receiving a bullish recommendation from an analyst.Morgan Stanley analyst Ravi Shanker initiated&nbsp;<a href="https://stocktwits.com/symbol/AUR">Auroro Innovation stock&nbsp;</a>with an ‘Overweight’ rating and a $12 price target, suggesting nearly 73% upside potential from current levels.The analyst said that as trucking finally appears to be on the cusp of an autonomous future, Aurora is leading the charge with the “most sophisticated on-highway Class 8 autonomous solution among peers.”Shanker sees the April rollout of commercial driverless operation as a key milestone for the company and the industry, unlocking a strong runway for earnings growth.&nbsp;The market is only now taking note of Aurora Innovation’s leadership, and has sent the stock up over three times in the last nine months, he added.The analyst said, “This is just the beginning if our view of the opportunity runway ahead materializes.”While&nbsp;Shanker believes the market will likely be divided among several players over time, he&nbsp;noted that Aurora Innovation’s leadership could give it an insurmountable lead over peers. He also feels the total addressable market is big enough to feed several healthy players over time.Morgan Stanley estimates the company’s enterprise value&nbsp;to be $15 billion based on its 15-year discounted cash flow model.&nbsp;That said, the firm cautioned regarding execution risk that will likely remain until the start of the commercial production. According to Shanker, a delay in the April 2025 commercial driverless launch could significantly impact the stock price.On Stocktwits, sentiment toward Aurora Innovation stock remains largely bullish.A bullish watcher said the stock could push ahead with full steam in 2025.<stembedurl>https://stocktwits.com/ShrewdInvestor26/message/606562196</stembedurl>Another user said the stock is a buy once the market stabilizes.<stembedurl>https://stocktwits.com/NeverFadeTheOracle/message/606489678</stembedurl>Aurora&nbsp;Innovation's stock is little changed in premarket trading following Monday’s&nbsp;decline.

Fuel-cell electric vehicle maker Nikola Corp, on Friday, announced its second-quarter earnings that surpassed analyst estimates on multiple counts pushing the stock higher by 7%.The firm reported an earnings loss of $2.67 per share, which more than halved from the loss of $5.90 recorded in the same quarter a year ago and beat an estimated loss of $2.77. Its net loss came down to $133.67 million versus $140 million in the second quarter of last year.Total revenue nearly doubled to $31.32 million on a year-over-year (YoY) basis and topped an estimate of $26.20 million. This is the strongest topline recorded by the firm ever, jumping 318% on a quarter-over-quarter (QoQ) basis.Following the announcement, retail sentiment on Stocktwits flipped into the ‘bullish’ territory (67/100) from the ‘bearish’ zone a day ago. The move was supported by ‘extremely high’ message volumes.<figure class="image"><a href="https://stocktwits.com/symbol/NKLA"><img style="aspect-ratio:1872/530;" src="https://st-everywhere-cms-prod.s3.us-east-1.amazonaws.com/Screenshot_2024_08_09_at_2_33_35_PM_ca5e2bddfe.png" alt="Nikola sentiment meter as of 2:04 p.m. EST on August 09, 2024" width="1872" height="530"></a><figcaption>Nikola sentiment meter as of 2:04 p.m. EST on August 09, 2024</figcaption></figure>The rise in revenue was led by the surge in the number of trucks produced and sold during the quarter. Nikola disclosed that it produced 77 trucks during the quarter, more than double the number in the same period a year ago. The firm shipped 73 trucks versus 43 in Q2 of 2023. The firm also received repeat orders from two national accounts.Interestingly, the company said it created alternative revenue streams from the sale of regulatory credits. “We recognized our first sale agreement of NOx and PM credits in the quarter. We expect this revenue stream to grow as volume increases each model year,” the firm stated.Notably, from its highs in 2020, the stock has lost over 99% of its value. However, at current levels of about $8, retail investors believe there could be attractive upside potential. As one Stocktwits user named “amberajax2point0” points out, the stock should bottom-out given the momentum behind the business.<stembedurl>https://stocktwits.com/amberajax2point0/message/582476407</stembedurl>
