The top cryptocurrencies for the week of August 29th

If you’re tired of jumping through endless hoops when all you want to do is bring your money to the tables, we hear you. At Americas Cardroom, we make it easy for poker players of all skill levels to get into the game. How do we do this exactly? By proudly welcoming more than 60 different cryptocurrencies!

Check out those most popular options used during the last week:

1. Bitcoin
2. Litecoin
3. Ether
4. Bitcoin Cash
5. Ripple

Have you ever used Ripple? The popular blockchain asset is more than just a fixture on our weekly list of top cryptocurrency options. It’s also the third most valuable cryptocurrency by market capitalization. With a combined worth of $11.1 billion, Ripple is worth more than twice its nearest competitor, Bitcoin Cash.

While Bitcoin is a household name, Ripple has far more potential for mainstream adoptions. That’s because Ripple is faster and far more scalable than Bitcoin could ever dream of being. If you’ve ever used Bitcoin, you know it can take 15 minutes for a transaction to settle. While that’s certainly better than waiting days for the international banking network to process a payment, Ripple operates at blistering speeds. In fact, it takes only 4 seconds for a Ripple transaction to settle!

Speed is just one of Ripple’s selling features. The network is also built to withstand growth, so you can count on lighting-fast transactions even as Ripple gains popularity. With the ability to process 50,000 transactions per second, which equates to 3,000,000 transactions per minute, everyone will be able enjoy the benefits of Ripple in the future.

Like other leading crypto currency options, Ripple is also safe and secure. That’s great news for anyone looking to play cryptocurrency poker and just about everyone else.

Speaking of great news, your crypto deposit is now worth more at Americas Cardroom. If you’re a new player and make your initial deposit using a cryptocurrency, we’ll give you a 200% deposit bonus up to $1,000. If you’d rather use a traditional payment method for some reason, we’ll still give you a 100% bonus up to $1,000.
