What are Cryptocurrencies?
Cryptocurrencies are a digital currency that acts as an alternative to traditional money. This type of currencies exists entirely online. It does not in general have an actual physical form, but exists in a blockchain on a server, which stores data regarding transactions in blocks without personal identifying factors.
They are not regulated and supported directly by a bank or other traditional lending institutions, and transactions are highly encrypted to keep your personal information private, regardless of the number and amounts of the transactions that have been made. They can be traded like any other instrument.

Ethereum
The digital currency only went live in 2015 after being funded through an online crowdfunding campaign. Ethereum allows people to send and receive credits via an open network, operating similarly to Bitcoin but is still very different, this is consider the best alternative to BTC. The currency is used predominantly as a smart contract instead of a conventional form of payment.
Ripple
Ripple is both a digital currency (Ripple XRP) and a platform (Ripple Net) that is used for the electronic transfer of currencies. The platform exchanges all types of currencies including fiat currencies (USD, GBP, EUR, etc.) and cryptocurrencies (Bitcoin, Litecoin, etc.). Ripple was designed to be faster, more reliable and less volatile. Today a lot of banks around the world have adopted Ripple as part of their operations.
