How do guys buy so much at once? $250 a week is my limit

You can buy as much as your credit card will allow of XRP at Bitstamp. Just make sure your bank knows ahead of time that your making an international purchase so it doesn't get flagged. The fees are pretty much the same as CoinBase but no limits. My bank also charges me an international fee for using the card for international purchases. All told it's about 6.5%. Not many choices if you want to buy right now. If you can wait, you can send money, even wire money and wait for it to settle. Credcards are immediate with fees.

bought 20 million worth of paccoin as a lottery ticket.

Boys, all of these coins are lottery tickets.

I'm still using Coinbase to get money into the "system". Buys and deposits from my bank are taking about 8-10 days, lately, at Coinbase. I made several purchases on Friday at Coinbase and they haven't hit my bank yet (writing this early Wednesday morning). They are promised to arrive by Saturday. We'll see. So far, they haven't let me down....just slow.

For me, Ether is the way of the world over at Binance. Using Ether to buy alt-coins at Binance. Cheaper fees. Ether seems to be solid as a rock and a good investment in it's own right.

Ripple is rippling along ($2.41)..... the rumors might be true.....

I think NEO is really going to blast off this year...

The past few days I was trying to tighten up my portfolio and cut out some of the fat...more than doubled my position in NEO in the process.

Can you give me a list of your top 10 cryptos for 2018, shocka?

Same here. Verge has been stagnant, more than doubled my small position so sold and added more ADA and TRX. New year starting off with a bang

[Chi_archie]

anyone on Bittrex having an inordinate amount of wallets alot of the time being disabled?

right now it seems every time I check, my ADA or NEO wallets are not available to me

NEO-automated maintenance

ADA-pending developer code patch

Haven't heard anyone talk about ardor or fuel (ether party)..gotten me some nice gains lately

[stickbit]

insane TRX volume today, i'm holding this one for awhile, think it will be a great year

agreed - I'm with you!

[Crusherrr]

Love EtherParty.
It's gotten stupid how much money I've got invested in alt coins now.
Some other ones I like are OMG, KCS and TRIG.

Some ones that are further down the list I like are DeepBrain Chain(DBC) and Tezos (XTZ)

Good morning to us. Always nice when your top 2 are on fire.

What's the ceiling for xrp...might hit 3 bucks today and probably dip back to 2.25ish

[daneblazer]

Is Kraken not allowing new users? Appears they disabled verification.

[mancity]

Im putting money in Ripple and Stellar. Thoughts?

[GunShard]

The market cap finally reached past $700 million which is 1% of the world GDP economy.
The market is too high right now. I would only sell at this point.
Once the market crashes within a month then you should start buying crypto.

[swordsandtequila]

Have both. Ripple has been much discussed, Stellar not so much. But a 432% gain in three weeks is quite all right by me (got in @ 0.15)

Lucky bastard

If I'd bought a boatload then yes, but no complaints. All due to good info posted in this thread, one of the few worth following. 98% solid posters, 2% knuckleheads, not a better ratio @ SBR.

some resistance round the 16,5xx mark... hoping bitcoin goes on a run so some money gets pulled out of the alt coins so I can increase my position in them.

[shocka1212]

I like stellar more than ripple. ripple from June to December... look at that chart if you're going to call me a hater.

Lots of bitching about different exchange's performance. Reminds me of 35 years ago when as a customer of IBM's large mainframe computers we were having performance problems. So we gathered a bunch of performance and tuning data and shipped the tapes off to an IBM lab. We then went there a few days later and the technical guru entered the room with his verdict. It's simple he says, your performance is bad because you're trying to shove 10 pounds of sh*t in a 5 pound bag. I guess the exchanges built 5 pound bags and then the world discovered cryptocurrencies.

Yes, but which ones? There are over 1,000 cryptocurrencies out there. Each has a good story to tell about this or that problem they are going to solve with their coin. And they have some smart people behind them. But the world doesn't need a thousand different coins, so the very vast majority will go to zero. The winners will be chosen by the individual votes of 10's of millions of users from around the world based on what they choose to use. And only a handful of these will have read the slick internet documentation behind each coin.

do your due diligence on anything before you invest in it.. Same way all NFL teams have the same amount of talent but yet there are a certain few that always seem to be winning, its all about the driving force (coaching=engineering team). Not trying to make that analogy, but its no secret that if you have the right creative minds driving the technology, its going to go places. Not just about chasing the wave.. ripple has gone on quite the run yet I still wouldn't touch it with a 10ft pole. TRX has some people from Alibaba on their team, ADA has some people from the original bitcoin team on their team and are looking to correct the scaling issues that BTC and ETH have had. its all about having the right team in place taking the necessary steps to making the most of what they have.

[pilebuck13]

I just pick the ones with names I like. You Can hate ripple all you want, eth guys hate ripple I get it. But I have made 3 cold already so not complaining.

you couldn't possibly be more wrong, there are coins out there with hell of a lot more going for them than a "story"

[PaperTrail07]

Cardano seems like it will steam to $1.50 in no time at all....being #5 on "the list" , the FOMO will go and companies will
begin to feel comfy buying in.....

my question is what will happen when crypto market will be 50% or more of the world gpd economy.One answer is that maybe fiat money will lost a lot of value .If that happens i dont know whats next

ps
in a few years also robots will do most of jobs.i know this is progress and good for us in the long term but first i think it will be a crisis

Still looking for an exchange to buy ripple that will verify a Washington State resident, I'm on strike 3 right now.

binance? You don't have to be verified to trade either.

Ripple over 3.00 right now. Is this going to drop or what?

I've experienced the same thing. Both my siacoin and cardano wallets are disabled. Many wallets are often disabled for a short period of time. Not sure of the reason.

Me too...

[JAKEPEAVY21]

I feel like we are getting close to the next big jump
