Ripple did a very smart thing and they printed 100 billion of their own
currency, ripples (XRIP).

1. A very important thing is that no more of this currency will ever be
printed.

2. This currency is also used to operate a transaction in the system
(distributed ledger a la bitcoin) to prevent spamming

Ripple is currently trading at .1 cents to the ripple.  Meaning the project
has a valuation of 100m usd (not bad for 3 months old) which has allowed
them to hire about 12 developers and also give some rewards to the
community.
