Yeah I had trouble with verification of my license on Coinbase. If it keeps pending forever and then getting declined... I learned a trick.

Go through the process on your phone and on a desktop simultaneously. When you get to the picture part take the pictures with your phone but make sure to leave the desktop open on that same page. Someone told me to do that and it worked.

I've been trying to buy Ripple since it was 0.25 but I'm yet to be verified anywhere. I'm new to crypto and didn't realize..

Shouldve nabbed some SUB too bro up 50%..but you doing ok with Ada and Xrp my lord!!!

Only xrp and sub for me thus far..I will slowly inject money to swing some of these.

I like PPT coin too but you would need a ton(more than I got in crypto anyway)to get the side income with it.I was reading up on the coin at $22 just a few weeks ago and its now in the mid 40s

Anybody who would consider themselves an investor take a look at Populous (PPT coin) and see if that interests you.Basically you can use your coin to buy invoices and you get % of intrest as the company pays back,you are protected in case of default ..you can pool together with other investors as well to purchase high costing invoices.Some of these passive income coins look like they could be really profitable long term.

Things are starting to happen... I'm in on GDAX/Coinbase so that's a start. Picking up ETH to transfer to Binance. Will be spreading it out mostly between Ripple (XRP) & Tron (TRX). Plan on holding those long term. Maybe take a flyer on a couple other turds as well.

What are the shovels in this crypto currency space?

Binance has its own coin and its done well.

Ethos is an all in one wallet Avenue..matbe look into that.Platform due out mid Q1 next yr.They will have things like coin rating system,basket investments..wallet will hold many coin types..

So many options and it seems like you could throw a dart at a board to pick one and make money.

I’m pretty new to this. Just came across the Shift debit card that connects to Coinbase. Pretty cool.

Obviously Shift went up 23,000% TYD.

Neo going to be ltc price at least next yr..good article from hackernoon the other day.Onchain already having an in with Chinese gvt is huge advantage for Neo and now with Eth being bogged down with kitties look for more ICOs to go to neo,the exchange they have planned could be huge.

Sure wish I had found all this earlier you could retire just off of 2gs in neo and selling the gas dividend,hell Neo was under a dime in January

I couldn't help myself...the gambler, not the investor, got the better of me...I'm in on ETH...up more than 10 percent since my last order...Crazy.

I do like the concept of crypto...and probably gonna transition over to LTC...that guy seems to have his coins in a row.

I interrupt this party with words of caution. Be careful with the exchanges and coins that you choose. The explosion of options in crypto currencies is giving rise to more and more scams.

Just yesterday the South Korean crypto web site was hacked and just ONE DAY LATER it was announced that the exchange has declared bankruptcy protection.

Then yesterday on CNBC, the CEO of Longfin came on to talk about crypto currencies, his new coin (Ziddu), and the outlook for his company. CNBC kept Vankat Meenavalli on the show for an entire 15 minute segment and over the course of that 15 minutes, Brian Kelly outright accused the coin as a scam and a fraud. He warned all viewers to DO YOUR RESEARCH on these coins. If you think scammers are not interested in making an easy buck in this new industry, think again.

It seems that so many on this site just want to "get rich quick" without putting in the hard work. Investing doesn't create millionaires overnight. Some of you people need to wake up and realize that all that glitters is not indeed gold.

I saw that same interview and I have to say it was really hard to understand what exactly Longfin is about -- it's not a crypto firm, that's for sure. If I was a man who played the short game, Longfin would have been No. 1 on my list going into today's trading session.

I feel fairly comfortable with my cyrpto trading platform, but, as you suggest, this is the Wild, Wild West at the moment.

That said, this is also discretionary trading income, money I can lose, same as my gambling bankroll.

But point well taken, nevertheless.

The entire presentation from the Longfin CEO seemed odd. First he said Ziddu is not yet for sale to the public, but when Brian Kelly mentioned that he could go to his site and pay 19 cents per coin, the overall explanation from Meenavalli reeked of corruption.

Then he says his market cap is not justified???? I'm sure the shareholders loved that statement!! I am very surprised that the stock only dropped 10% today (combining after hours trading).

This whole thing smells bad. I could not imagine investing in some of these coins with the threat of everything going "poof in the night" when your money disappears. Good luck to those that partake, but it's not for me. I would much rather invest in blockchain technology as opposed to owning coins.

Starting to move in on SALT. I like Salt’s idea of allowing people to borrow against their crypto.

How does one make an investment play on SALT? Sounds like a very interesting idea.
