Heard about it but that's it, [url= https://www.reddit.com/r/Ripple/ ]this may be a good place to start your research[/url]

Beware though, as with most Crypto sites/peeps there is a lot of vested interest in the blah blah.

Unlikely to be worth more than a Dime once the bubble bursts.

I'm not sure if to invest or not. Sort of betwixt and between.

If you do your research and go with the trend you shouldn't lose all your cash. (put your stop losses in place)

I'm no expert but I've doubled my money on Litecoin and Bitcoin.

There's money to be made and this stuff and is not going away. Net is full of people calling the end of these cryptos. Zero evidence of that currently, especially given the bull market of these things.

Things may wax and wane but to write it off in the face of deflating currencies such as the USD is to ignore their likely impact.

I hear the transactions are more streamlined than some other cryptocurrencies - more Aero you could say.

I'm not a financial expert, but I would guess that if the central banks stop creating artificially low interest rates, then "crypto" currencies will start to reflect their true underlying value a bit more (i.e. zero).

Disclaimer, as above, I've made a bit of cash on it.

XRP (Ripple) is probably one of the few crypto currencies that will weather the storm long term. It actually has a good use case and is a strong industry disruptor, particularly against SWIFT.

Considered a safer bet in the crypto world but also berated for being linked to the banking system and therefore ideologically not in keeping with the idea of a "new world currency order" that many crypto enthusiasts love to circle jerk about.

Caveat emptor: Banks don't have to use XRP (what you are buying and holding) to be partnered with Ripple's tech, but there are strong financial incentives in terms of reduced costs and faster settlement speed.

Do your own research, but there are many promising things in store. They already have a partnership with AMEX and many banks are already in the bag. Uber, AirBnB and Amazon also rumoured, hence recent rises.

Almost x2 returns in the last week for XRP.

Not bad.

I literally went into 100 banks, chapping on the bank manager's door for dough, and all I got was light refreshment. You could (at a stretch) say:

What website are people using to buy XRP? I take it you have to buy Bitcoin first then trade it? Bitcoin fee's seem to be huge at the moment.

At some point it is rumoured to be added to Coinbase. Until then your best bet to buy with Fiat is via Bitstamp it appears. That will bypass the need to trade in bitcoin first.

Here's some useful info from the Reddit page.

BitBonds is where it's at and all the cool kids know it. They're a spin off of premium bonds but use ERNIE's 16k RAM pack to mine random numbers between 1 and 100. Get on it before its too late or the sysadmin nudges the RAM pack and it all goes to shit.

Love the skepticism. Ripple is NOT BitCoin - don't confuse the two in any way.

Almost x2 returns in the last week for XRP.

Not bad.

Or x7 if you invested 2 months ago...

Or about x100 if you got in a year ago.

And its still SO early.

How much tech knowledge is needed to invest in this stuff? I know basically nothing but am intrigued. Are there cyber security risks etc?

Would only invest what I can afford to lose, but is there a minimum? 100 quid?

Sign up for some of the exchanges, have a play. £100 will easily get you going.

Until Coinbase, the most user friendly entry point, adds XRP (Ripple) then there will be a mild technical hurdle in using some of the more trading oriented exchanges. Of course, as soon as it is added, it will probably double in value overnight.

I posted this on the previous page, might be helpful if you are looking to buy:> https://www.investopedia.com/news/how-do-i-buy-ripple-xrp-cryptocurrency/ <
