When it comes to crypto currencies probably think most of us directly Bitcoins - m ittlerweile thinks a non small percentage probably of ether, the cash behind the Ethereum - block chain . No wonder, Bitcoin is also becoming more and more important in the real economy, as well as the performance of Bitcoin and Ether.

While Bitcoin was still trading at 400 US dollars at the beginning of the current year , the high of mid-June stood at nearly 3,000 US dollars . At Ether , the increase was even more spectacular: from eight dollars at the beginning of the year it went to nearly 415 US dollars. But then there was a cooling down, only a few days ago the digital currencies came back impressively.
XPR tokens are up 4,000 percent against US dollars in the first half of the year

But there is another crypt diet which has grown even more in the first half of 2017 - about 4,000 percent. The speech is from Ripple and the associated currency XPR. In the past few weeks, XPR has risen behind Bitcoin and Ether through the massive price increase to number three of the digital cash after market capitalization.

From January to April almost nothing happened to the price. But then the currency suddenly grew massively. The reason: 25 new stock exchanges have listed the XRP tokens since the second quarter, resulting in transactions worth 30 million US dollars.

More trading possibilities and thus a higher notoriety thus themselves caused itself and ensured the strong increase. At the start of the year an XRP cost $ 0.006523. In high, mid-May, it was 0.405655 US dollars. At the time, the crypto had been up over 6,000 per cent since the beginning of the year.
Differences from XPR to Bitcoin

XRP differs somewhat from Bitcoin and Ether, because this digital currency does not want to withdraw completely from ordinary banks, but much more cooperates with them. Banks are to use Ripple's Blockchain technology to reduce their costs. Another difference: While Bitcoins are still being scanned from data centers, all XRP tokens are already created.

"We are concentrating on international payments," said Miguel Vias, head of XRP markets at Ripple. We are probably the only digital currency with a real application. "Nevertheless, he sees a positive future for Ripple and XRP as well as for his competitors.

"We see that digital currencies are accepted and accepted by established banks. The Bank of England cooperates with us and the Bank of Japan also recognizes digital currencies as a legal payment - these developments show that we are also on the right track and that interest in these technologies will continue to grow, "Vias said.

WTF is bitcoin cash and is it worth anything?

Early yesterday morning bitcoin’s blockchain forked — meaning a separate cryptocurrency was created called bitcoin cash . The way a fork works is instead of creating a totally new cryptocurrency (and blockchain) starting at block 0, a fork just creates a duplicate version that shares the same history. So all past transactions on bitcoin cash’s new blockchain are identical to bitcoin core’s blockchain, with future transactions and balances being totally independent from each other. For practical matters, all this really means is that everyone who owned bitcoin before the fork now has an identical amount of bitcoin cash that is recorded in bitcoin cash’s forked blockchain. But it’s not exactly this easy. If you control your own private keys, or hold your bitcoin in an exchange that said it would credit users’ balances with bitcoin cash, you’re fine and can access your newfound cryptocurrency right now. If you held your bitcoin with a provider like Coinbase, which said before the fork t...

Google Maps suggests BlaBlaCar for long-distance rides

Google Maps on Android and iOS now has a new transportation option. If you live in a country where French startup BlaBlaCar operates, you can now open the BlaBlaCar app and book a ride straight from Google Maps. Google isn’t adding a new tab just for BlaBlaCar. Instead, BlaBlaCar appears as a new option in the public transportation tab. For instance, if you’re looking at ways to go from Paris to Lyon, Google Maps suggests taking the TGV train — and now also BlaBlaCar. The app gives you an ETA for each transportation mode so that you can compare how long it’s going to take if you opt for the train or BlaBlaCar. Google Maps uses the same ETA for BlaBlaCar and a normal car ride. It also estimates the cost of a BlaBlaCar ride. BlaBlaCar is a ridesharing service for long-distance rides between two cities. It has tens of millions of members in dozens of countries. Think about it as a sort of Airbnb for carpooling. When you are driving from one city to another, BlaBlaCar can help you fi...

Carwow, a UK startup that helps you buy a new car, raises $39M Series C

Carwow , a platform that helps you buy a new car, has closed $39 million in Series C funding. The round was led by new investor Vitruvian Partners, with existing investors Accel Partners and Balderton Capital also participating. At today’s exchange rate it brings total funding to approximately $62.6 million. Founded in late 2010, Carwow originally launched as a car review aggregator before pivoting to become a site that claims to improve the experience of buying a new car. It allows consumers to compare offers online and buy directly from ‘trusted’ dealers that are registered with the platform, specifically avoiding the arduous but otherwise necessary requirement to haggle over price and in a way that potentially introduces more transparency. Specifically, through Carwow you can research, select and configure new cars before receiving and offers from U.K. franchised dealers. The idea is that you can then make an informed decision on those offers based on price, location, dealer rating...
