Well that makes zero sense now. Unless they have locked my account now realising they should have sent me a letter.

Been thinking about this for awhile, bit of reading and a bit of talking but no acting.

We have a little bit of money sitting aside doing nothing so have just taken the plunge and like Iggle Piggle set up a BTC Market account and within a few minutes I now have a few hundred Ripple.

I did read that there may be delays of up to 10 days but it all happened quite quickly.

I look forward to the day I can re-read this post while sitting on my yacht I don't need or even really want

Had to go the BPay route which hurt but my only option.

**PHATAL** · 21-12-2017, 06:43 PM

Now my account is locked and I cant log in. Kill me.

It was the over the top verification hoops that stopped me from looking any further.

While it may well be legit, they wanted absolutely every piece of information I could possibly use to id myself. I'm not about to hand all that over to some random faceless country less organisation.

Smart fellow.

Too many people are willing to hand over all their private details to probably Nigerians, Russians or Chinese. They set up huge farms in 3rd world countries where they can't be touched.

That link is behind a paywall trump.

I jumped aboard the crypto train - minimal holdings at this stage...

I reakon BTC over valued by 30-40% - i am in on Ripple as well, looked at dash, ltc and ether as well but.

May shift my asx holdings across but they have not been doing too bad either up 12% approx for this year - dont want to put all eggs in the one basket...

Just read that Swissquote are now offering ripple. This might be the cause of today's run. Long may it linger.

No no no! Go back to 99 cents so once I can actually access the money I just transferred into an account that is now locked I can actually buy at the price that it was when I wanted to buy them!!! Then feel free to go up....

Every person that I know that has used a yahoo or gmail email address has been made to wait for a letter. Perhaps that is the issue here??

Yep my gmail attempt they sent me a letter. Then made another account via bigpond and it went straight through. They then locked the account as you cant have two accounts. I think it must be just purely random selection.

BTW, trades at $1.46 starting to filter through. Could we see $5 by Easter??

Seems as though xrp is the ‘fordforums’ crypto currency of choice, next step is which wallet are you going with because even the exchanges say not to leave your holdings there.. personally I’m leaning towards the ‘Ledger Nano S’

I’ll be going with the Ledger Nano S as well.

About mid night last night trades were going through at $1.52.

Just take a deep breath and buy at the going price. yes it might dip again but the odds are in your favour for growth. Thats just my opinion. You do what ever you think is best for you. Best of luck to you..

Thanks mate. I guess one way to look at it is that the cash is already spent so anything I get back whether up or down is a bonus.

My opinion:
I wish I was able to get in below $1 but I couldn’t due to delays, as soon as my bpay cleared ( and after asking myself if this is what I wanted to do with my money ) I ended up getting in at $1.13, that night it dropped to $1.02 and $1.13 seemed to be crap, now floating in the 40s, 13 doesn’t seem so bad, if you get in in the 40s or 50s, if and when it gets to $2 you’ll be happy, remember that in April this year it was selling for 2c so if you really want to kick yourself ....

Yeah that is the thing you are always behind the 8 ball if you think of it that way.

Yep, as soon as my money went in I bought at $1.14, the next day it was around $1.06 to $1.08 so that night I put in an order for a few hundred more and set the price at $1.02, sure enough it went down to $1.01 and my order went through at 1:30am while I was fast asleep.

I should be way out in front but I also picked up some Bitcoin Cash and Litecoin which have dropped since buying.
At least I didn't buy Bitcoin like I had originally planned.

Everything said and done I"m up around $200 in just 4 days which is pretty good considering my only prior knowledge regarding investing was watching Trading Places with Eddie Murphy and Dan Akroyd as a kid!!!
