He feels that these two coins are set to be huge this year, and ones that you do not want to miss out on.The first is Ripple, a company that creates blockchain technology. This allows companies to create their own technology which will allow peer-to-peer transactions. They work with banks and other financial institutions, which means that this could be more relatable to the real world than other virtual currencies .
