Is this a buying opportunity, and CCs will shake off the desire of governments to curb the flow of money into unregulated space, or could this be a real problem for the process of CCs?

XRP ripple hit $2.43 ...650% in 17 days , before dropping back ,another one of those dip things has just presented itself !!

all via coinbase Rodes? it can't be the best deal for you..
and how do you make payments to your exchange, by bank transfer, debit card 'purchase', ??

[rodent]

No coin base only has bit,eth, lite & bitcash.

I have ripple on etoro

i am In all 7 cryptos on etoro

made all payments to coinbase and etoro using debit card 3.99% fee but fast simple access when i needed it

not trading on any other exchanges yet

rumour has it that coinbase are going to do ripple, dash & stratis from 8th jan .....how true that is , is anyones guess tho !

If they do, expect rises on all 3 ...probably !??

[planteria]

well yes, certainly talk of Ripple becoming available on Coinbase is part of the froth..

a lot has happened with CCs since the turn of the year and much of the above.
i was looking to buy some Bitcoin and Ether - which have become correlated through some stages, if the XBT price dipped to $6500.. but it didn't, it settled around $8200/8400 for a few days and is now back up about $10400.
