Ripple contains a virtual currency, called ripples (XRP). These are used to pay the small fee required by the network for each transaction. They can also be sent between two accounts, converted into other currencies, or spent at venues that accept them.
Privately
Privacy for consumers. With ripple, unless payer chooses to, there is no need to provide the merchant with: e-mail, name, address, and other information.
Like Bitcoin, if you do not tell anyone your address, people will not know that the address is associated with you. People can choose to have a public address for sending and receiving payments and a private address for anonymously holding funds.
Payment can be proxied via a Gateway. This means that when someone wants to pay an address, the payment is proxied to the Gateway, which credits the payee's Gateway account. This effectively anonymises the payment to other party. If authorities need access to transaction records, they can subpoena the Gateway.
If you choose to trust a gateway that is untrustworthy, you may wind up with worthless IOUs. However, you cannot be directly harmed by the collapse of a gateway you didn't choose to trust.
I usually explain it using checks as an analogy. If I write you a check for $50 and you deposit it in your bank, my bank owes me $50 less and your bank owes you $50 less. You consider me to have paid you $50 because I made your bank owe you $50 more and you trust your bank. But if your bank collapses, you are out of luck. I, however, am not because I didn't choose to trust your bank.
