What is ripple's 'bitcoin without mining'?
Could you elaborate on Ripple's concept of "Bitcoin without mining"? I'm curious to understand how it differs from the traditional Bitcoin mining process. Does Ripple utilize a different consensus mechanism? How does this affect the overall network's security and decentralization? I'm also interested in knowing if there are any trade-offs or advantages that Ripple's approach brings to the cryptocurrency space. Could you provide a concise but comprehensive explanation of this concept?
