People have asked us how we see ourselves fitting within the universe of cryptocurrencies. In the video below, we give our take.

There are some names that everyone recognizes, that have earned their place in the history of cryptocurrency.

While there are different ways to make the cut, we can start with three, the top of the charts by valuation: Bitcoin, Ethereum, and Ripple.

You use Bitcoin (currency: Bitcoin) as a store of value, as digital gold. Like gold, it is known for having value, and people trust it as a store of wealth.

You use Ethereum (currency: Ether) for smart contracts, for the functionality and the platform it provides. The developers and the foundation behind it are top-notch, and its reputation reflects this.

You use Ripple (currency: XRP) for international payments, and for very fast transaction times. Ripple as a company focuses on cross-border payments, and those advantages all play to its strengths.

How Ripple presents itself (taken from the XRP homepage).

CurrentCoin is the connector. We give you digital services that are available across multiple cryptocurrencies.

You can use any of the above and get your website, or your office software, or your game — the template of your choice — using CurrentCoin.

We’re committed to making a difference. Our community and news functions will bring people together and teach them how to work with cryptocurrencies, using our digital services to enhance and enable their learning process.

In this new world of cryptocurrencies, there’s space for many services, and service providers. The established players have already made a name for themselves; we’re working on making ours too, on the strength of the products we make, and the community we attract.
