FWIW, the Ripple CEO is a Topeka native.....

Bitcoin does have a scaling issue, but with the lightning network coming (soon?) the transfer fees will work themselves out.

Part of the problem with transfer fees right now are all the spam transactions from Bitcoin haters to try to drive down the price.

Hide yo kids, hike yo bitcoins cause they kidnapping everybody out there

I heard that the first lightning network transaction happened tonight. That's very interesting.

Don't take me wrong. I don't think Bitcoin will ever go away. I just think it will be a savings account coin, and not a "buy and spend" coin.

Ripple has legs, but it's not a "get rich quick" coin. It's a "invest for steady long term returns coin." Right now it's flirting with a $100B market cap (which is remarkable because it was at $43b just 3 days ago). But even if it got to a trillion dollar market cap, you're only looking at a $50.00 Ripple. To get to a $2500 price on XRP, it would need to have a ridiculous $100 trillion market cap. Not going to happen.

XRP is designed to be a liquidity coin that can be shuttled around by banks at fast speeds and super low fees. Bitcoin and XRP can co-exist. They'll just be used for different purposes (along with a tapestry of other coins that will all serve a purpose - there will not be "one coin to rule them all.")

Where’s the best place to buy ripple?

I bought via Bitstamp. Tried to open a Kraken account but it turned out being such a headache.

Bithumb and Binance are the two platforms with the most Ripple action. I have never used Bithumb, but I love Binance. It's great.

Is it worth buying ripple at the current prices?

next fib level past 11500 is 9850 usd. A very good buy point for BTC. https://www.tradingview.com/x/NXTiZkfl/

I bought BTC on coinbase, then transferred it with no fees to binance using GDAX and bought XRP

I don't use binance, don't know about it except it's a 6 month old exchange. Hard for me to trust some of these exchanges. What info is there to show they are trustworthy?

What do you guys think of Syscoin?

One of the coins with the smallest max supply. Think I should get in at .80? Surely the low max supply will help take off like all the others right?

I know nothing about it. What does it do? What value does it provide? How is it different from every other coin?

If you are simply buying because it has a low max supply, you are feeding into the speculative bubble. A lot of alts are going to get hurt badly at some point here.

XRP is 2.62 and rising!
