Las criptomonedas son _tokens fungibles_. _Fungible_ significa que tu puedes reemplazar un token por otro token de mismo valor. El franqueo es un ejemplo de un token fungible: si cuesta 50 céntimos enviar una carta, puedes utilizar 2 sellos de 25 centimos o 5 de 10 centimos para el envío, porque el franqueo de sellos es fungible (consistente en valor relativo e intercambiable).
|
||||
|
||||
Las criptomonedas además son descentralizadas. No hay una entidad central que dobierna la moneda. Una vez que la transacción está en la blockchain no se puede cambiar. Es dificil censurar una criptomoneda: mientras que el sistema sea los suficientemente descentralizado, nadie puede dar marcha atrás transacciones, congelar balances, o impedir que alguien pueda utilizar un activo digital descentralizado. Las reglas no cambian sin una coordinación significativa entre todos los participantes.

Puede parecer raro que las criptomonedas se basen únicamente en datos informáticos, y no en ninguna tipo de bien tangible como un metal precioso.

El XRP Ledger fue construido entre 2011 y principios de 2012 por Jed McCaleb, Arthur Britto y David Schwartz. En el momento de su creación, había 100 mil millones de XRP. En septiembre de 2012, Jed y Arthur, junto con Chris Larsen formaron Ripple (la compañía, llamada en ese momento OpenCoin Inc.) y decidieron donar 80 mil millones XRP a Ripple a cambio de que Ripple desarrollase en el XRP Ledger.

暗号通貨は _代替可能トークン_ です。 _代替可能_ とは、あるトークンを同じ価値の他のトークンに置き換えることができるという意味です。郵便切手は代替可能（相対的な価値が一致し、交換可能）であるため、手紙を出すのに50セントかかる場合、25セント切手を2枚使うか、10セント切手を5枚使って郵便料金を支払うことが出来ます。

暗号通貨は分散型でもあります。通貨を管理する中央機関がないのです。一度でもトランザクションがブロックチェーンに登録されると、それを変更することはできません。暗号通貨を検閲することは困難です。システムが十分に分散化されている限り、誰もトランザクションをロールバックしたり、残高をフリーズしたり、誰かが分散化されたデジタル資産を使うことをブロックしたりすることはできません。あらゆる参加者の間で大きな合意がなければルールが変更されることはありません。

- fast to transfer at a low cost

- not restricted by borders or governments (so no need for nostro accounts that hold funds in another country)

- not subject to counterfeit

Cryptocurrencies are _fungible tokens_. _Fungible_ means that you can replace one token with other tokens of equal value. Postage is an example of a fungible token: if it costs 50 cents to mail a letter, you can use 2 25-cent stamps or 5 10-cent stamps for the postage, because postage stamps are fungible (consistent in relative value and interchangeable).

It might seem strange that cryptocurrency is based solely on computer data, and not on any sort of tangible commodity such as precious metal. Traditionally, currencies have been based on cattle, sea shells, rare metals, stones, or other physical objects. But these items have value only because there was agreement between people in a culture.

The XRP Ledger was built over 2011 – early 2012 by Jed McCaleb, Arthur Britto and David Schwartz. At the time of its creation, there were 100 billion XRP. In September 2012, Jed and Arthur, along with Chris Larsen formed Ripple (the company, called OpenCoin Inc. at the time) and decided to gift 80 billion XRP to Ripple in exchange for Ripple developing on the XRP Ledger.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
Since then, the company has regularly sold XRP, used it to strengthen XRP markets and improve network liquidity, and incentivized development of the greater ecosystem. In 2017, the company placed [55 billion XRP in escrow](https://ripple.com/insights/ripple-escrows-55-billion-xrp-for-supply-predictability/?__hstc=78174987.8aa695b6d0420a940041f1842edfd8a6.1692378128025.1692644550213.1692652561840.8&__hssc=78174987.3.1692652561840&__hsfp=3379522993) to ensure that the amount entering the general supply [grows predictably](https://ripple.com/insights/ripple-to-place-55-billion-xrp-in-escrow-to-ensure-certainty-into-total-xrp-supply/?__hstc=78174987.8aa695b6d0420a940041f1842edfd8a6.1692378128025.1692644550213.1692652561840.8&__hssc=78174987.3.1692652561840&__hsfp=3379522993) for the foreseeable future.

### Naming
|
||||
|
||||
Originally, the XRP Ledger was called "Ripple" for the way the technology allowed payments [to ripple through multiple hops and currencies](../concepts/tokens/fungible-tokens/rippling.md). For the native asset built into the ledger, the creators chose the ticker symbol "XRP" from the term "ripple credits" or "ripples" and the X prefix for non-national currencies in the [ISO 4217](https://www.iso.org/iso-4217-currency-codes.html) standard. The company registered itself as "Ripple Labs". The name "XRP" came to be used to refer to the asset in all contexts, to avoid confusion with the similar names for the technology and company, and eventually the company shortened its own name to "Ripple". In May 2018, [the community selected a new "X" symbol](https://twitter.com/xrpsymbol/status/1006925937571713025) to represent XRP to differentiate it from the triskelion logo that had previously been used for both the company and the digital asset.
