Cryptocurrencies have come a long way since Bitcoin (BTC). Today, the crypto market is flooded with many digital coins, each aiming to offer something unique to investors. Bitcoin Spark (BTCS) has caught the attention of the crypto community due to its unique amalgamation of key features from three popular cryptocurrencies – Dogecoin (DOGE), Ethereum (ETH), and XRP.
What makes XRP a good investment?
XRP is a cryptocurrency designed by Ripple to facilitate fast and low-cost cross-border transactions. Its partnership with many banks and financial institutions worldwide has positioned it as a viable currency for international money transfers. Investors are thus drawn to XRP due to its potential for capital appreciation and its practicality in real-world finance.
Why do people buy Dogecoin?
Dogecoin (DOGE) is a meme coin that has evolved into one of the top 10 cryptocurrencies by market cap. It has gained popularity due to its light-hearted origin and endorsements from reputable figures like Elon Musk. Dogecoin also has low transaction fees and fast confirmation times, which make it suitable for microtransactions. Moreover, Dogecoin has some similarities to Bitcoin, such as a Proof-of-Work (PoW) consensus mechanism, allowing users to earn newly minted DOGE through mining. Investors buy Dogecoin for speculative reasons, expecting its adoption to continue growing, leading to potential future gains.
Bitcoin Spark: A blend of successful concepts
Bitcoin Spark is a new project that seeks to usher in a new generation of crypto by merging and improving on great ideas while maintaining the core aspects of blockchain technology.
One of the standout features of Dogecoin is its mining. However, like all PoW systems, the DOGE mining process is energy-intensive and has led to environmental degradation and centralization concerns. Bitcoin Spark (BTCS) introduces a new crypto-mining concept through its Proof-of-Process (PoP) consensus mechanism and native application.

The PoP non-linearly rewards miners for confirming blocks & contributing processing power to the network. Unlike DOGE mining, where profitable ASICs (Application-Specific Integrated Circuits) are required, the Bitcoin Spark app will enable anyone with a Windows, Linux, Mac OS, iOS, or Android device to mine. Miners can do so by permitting secure and isolated access to their device’s processing unit.
Like Ripple, Bitcoin Spark believes in providing real-world utility to its token, BTCS. The miners’ processing power will be rented out through Bitcoin Spark to institutions or individuals undertaking high CPU/GPU load tasks like compiling code, running database servers, performing scientific simulations, and large-scale video rendering. Those using the network for remote computing power must pay with BTCS.
This provides a real-world application to BTCS and an additional source of income for miners, as the revenue generated will be distributed as mining rewards. Additionally, the Bitcoin Spark application and website will include unobtrusive slots for advertising, and those requiring this service will pay with BTCS. The advertisements will be community-policied to ensure security, and network participants will receive 50% of the revenue generated plus incentives for policing the ads.
Ethereum’s introduction of smart contracts revolutionized the blockchain industry. Bitcoin Spark follows in these footsteps by integrating a smart contract layer into its network. The layer will include separate execution systems with singular network finality, allowing high-level and low-level programming languages to be used. This multi-layer approach also ensures scalability, a major hindrance to Ethereum’s growth.
The Bitcoin Spark ICO’s (Initial Coin Offering) progress is a testament to its potential impact when released to the open market. The ICO is in Phase 3, selling BTCS at $2.00, accompanied by a 12% bonus.
