Nothing a new one is already in place ready to catch the inevitable bubble burst, backed by Asia.
Bitcoin and Ripple use a different method to reach network consensus. Bitcoin uses Proof-of-Work (mining). Ripple uses an iterative consensus process.
As a result, Ripple is faster than Bitcoin. It only takes a few seconds to finalize transactions. It's also more energy efficient.
Bitcoin is a decentralized digital currency. Ripple is a decentralized transaction network that also contains a digital currency called ripples or XRP.
The Bitcoin network tracks the movement of Bitcoins. The Ripple network can track information of any kind.
As a result, Ripple can track account balances of any existing currency.
Bitcoin requires centralized exchanges (Mt. Gox). The Ripple network acts as a decentralized currency exchange. So if someone wants to sell their XRP for USD they can do that within the network without needing a third party. (This will help Bitcoiners too: they can trade Bitcoin on the Ripple network without fear of an exchange going down and disrupting the market.)
