life of a ripple trader

Last summer, Crypto Joe couldn’t afford a plane ticket to see his wife in Europe. By November, he was seriously considering whether or not he should step down from his position as a tenured professor teaching philosophy and logic—after making more money trading cryptocurrencies than his annual salary in the span of a few short months.

“I initially got into this because I needed some money,” said Joe, who wishes to keep his real identity private. Before long, he’d not only booked a flight but paid off the entirety of his credit card debt and then some. “But it wasn’t just a cool way to make money. It was such a cool system. I became completely addicted to the speed of trading on the Ripple platform.”

Bitcoin vs Ripple

2. BITCOIN Most people active in the world of cryptocurrency and digital assets have heard of  Bitcoin . It is a peer-to-peer cryptocurrency focusing on decentralization. It is also a payment method for both consumers and merchants alike. Completing smaller payments remains a bit of a challenge, although the Lightning Network may – hopefully – alleviate those concerns some day. Bitcoin is a cryptocurrency in its truest form, issued on a blockchain through the process we know as “mining.” It has a global reach and continues to make a lot of headway all over the world.
