This is the difference between XRP and Ripple.

Here is the difference between xrp and ripple taken from their whitepapers:
1) Ripple, the company, offers banks a software called Ripple Connect (thanks /u/cmbartley) which uses InterLedger Protocol (ILP) to transfer $$ between banks with a minimal fee because it doesn't have to get transferred 2-3 times into different fiats or service fees. It simply needs to get converted once. This software DOES NOT USE XRP.
2) XRP is simply a cryptocurrency that exists outside of this software that is high in liquidity and has fast transactions. There is nothing that distinguishes XRP from other cryptocurrencies that carry the same properties such as LTC or Zcash. Source: https://youtu.be/51dMe_Oui4M?t=2439
For you newcomers out there looking to invest in this coin, you need to know the following things:
1) The success of Ripple the company is not directly tied to the value of XRP.
2) When you buy Ripple, you are simply buying another cryptocurrency. It's advantages are its fast transaction times, high liquidity, and finally the various exchanges it's on.
3) You are NOT buying the currency that banks are currently using to transfer their money. So banks are not buying XRP right now and you should not expect banks to buy up a whole ton of XRP in the near future.
4) However, Ripple the company will advocate for use of XRP as the cryptocurrency of choice within Ripple connect for banks to transfer money in the ILP between lesser known fiats outside of the USD and the Euro.
Ahhh i see the same mETH head is now on butthurttalk and trying to twist things again... LOL.
What are you trying?
Bring people to the "church of dont use xrp"? Are you the prophet everyone was waiting for? The prophet that guarded the whole world because he did his own research to say in the future "look, thats muh legacy"
Congratulations...but the world is spinning, so are the fidget spinners and ripple...
YOU WON'T EVER HAVE AN IMPACT ON THIS.
You are just one of the same persons hiding under another username...
Your agenda is clear like STD's. What i think you must have plenty of those std's.
Remind me when $XRP goes up and you will start the same twisted "arguments" and your expertise will become MORE AND MORE "important" to all the people coming to butthurttalk.
But guess what bro...there is nothing more important than you...a tree in the forrest
