      "body": "People have transitioned from asking me about BTC/ETH/LTC to altcoins, so I figured I'd write a little on the two most asked about coins.\n\n## Ripple \nI'm very conflicted on Ripple.  From a pure blockchain perspective, it isn't ideal.  On the other side of the coin, they have some serious and impressive partnerships with the big banks (which crypto focuses on \"replacing\" to a degree).\n\nRipple (the company) owns 61% of all Ripple, and it isn't a mine-able coin.  So, in essence, there's a company at the center of this whole thing, holding ~$47 Billion worth of Ripple (at the time of this writing).  No matter how you break that down, that's not good.  The whole point of blockchain is to decentralize, and the company running the show has all the power in their hands to manipulate the price if they wanted to.  Their leadership is claiming to be putting a whole bunch in escrow and slowly releasing 1 billion into the market each month, but that may be subject to change.  \n\nTo be clear, by buying this coin, you're investing in a company and not a technology/movement.  If the company goes under, Ripple dies.  If 61% of bitcoin users suddenly \"lost\" all their coins, it could theoretically move on, based on actually being decentralized.  Remember, this is a very volatile space, and not every coin/tech will be adopted long term.\n\nSo, what's good about it?  As a quicker/cheaper payment processing system, it actually does quite well for the larger institution.  There really isn't a use case for the \"little guy\" to use it as a payments processing medium.  Look, big banks aren't going away.  There's plenty to be said about their ability to manipulate even the bitcoin market, but why not take a bet on something that's being used by the big players and influencers?  It's a start - we need these big companies to adopt and embrace blockchain, even if Ripple isn't a true, decentralized blockchain solution.\n\nHere's an oversimplified 1 minute video explanation of Ripple.\n\nhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kwyIEMyMfqs\n\nWow! (sort of)\n\nFinally, Jed McCaleb was a co-founder of ripple, and he's one of the OGs in the big picture.  He has since left Ripple to go and co-start Stellar (check out [Stellar Lumens](https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=web&cd=6&cad=rja&uact=8&ved=0ahUKEwiX-afn_o7YAhUq5IMKHa97DWIQFghMMAU&url=https%3A%2F%2Fcoincentral.com%2Fwhat-is-stellar-lumens-a-beginners-guide%2F&usg=AOvVaw0nJsjwUIVq3TwN3XdLs4rC), or read up on [Jed](https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=web&cd=2&cad=rja&uact=8&ved=0ahUKEwjagsuE_47YAhUj0IMKHWelC-oQFgg2MAE&url=https%3A%2F%2Fen.wikipedia.org%2Fwiki%2FJed_McCaleb&usg=AOvVaw0SecgxoIrOUJsKNKuNJr0o) if you're interested).\n\nWhile Ripple probably falls in the \"myspace\" bucket, I feel there is a whole bunch of short term value in it.  With that said, take a look at its market cap.  Right now, it's half a billion away from being the #3 market cap crypto.  Just because each coin is under $1 right now doesn't mean it has the ability to hit $18k+ each like bitcoin.  This isn't the place to be educated on market cap, so please research that elsewhere if you'd like to understand it better.\n\n[Here's a previous post](https://steemit.com/altcoins/@krugo/how-do-i-buy-altcoins-with-usd) I made regarding how to buy altcoins like Ripple.\n\n___\n\n## IOTA\n\nIOTA is VERY interesting.  It has some huge potential, but it's also one of the most ambitious projects I've ever read about.  The idea is to marry IoT (BUZZWORD) with blockchain (ANOTHER BUZZWORD!), with something that describes itself as a blockchain without blocks or a chain called \"The Tangle\" \n\nhttps://vignette.wikia.nocookie.net/roblox-pokemon-project/images/d/db/114.png/revision/latest?cb=20161111022025\n\nOk.  The tech behind it is quite confusing - explaining that in order to transact, it needs to be signed (by the private keys), and then your device is forced to validate two other transactions before executing the one it's trying to execute, but it requires some Proof of Work without any \"benefit\" - which is confusing since this is a non-mineable coin with no transaction fees.  \n\nBasically - the entire IOTA network props itself up to validate transactions, so it doesn't have fees.  The more people use IOTA, the more efficient it becomes (with respect to network bandwidth being the constraint).  Quite the opposite of standard blockchain.\n\nSo, what did you just read?  The approach with The Tangle is that it's more scalable than a typical blockchain solution, as it can take part of itself offline (and essentially partition itself off of the main tangle).  Imagine this as a side-tangle that a company might want to use for an IoT supported warehouse.  This can also be seen as a weakness if a side tangle hasn't had the appropriate time/connectivity to validate some of those transactions.\n\nThe pitch is that we're currently working toward \"smart centralization\".  There are smart devices everywhere, essentially driven by cloud solutions (cloud storage, thin client, etc.).  IOTA's pitch is to move toward \"smart decentralization\" - revolving around data sharing, real-time decision making locally by IoT devices/sensors.\n\nConsider it as a \"sharing\" economy - anything with a chip can be \"leased\", and those devices can trade resources with one another. \n\nhttps://m.popkey.co/574b46/WxVke.gif\n\nOk, ok, ok - why should you be interested in this?  So far, IOTA has transacted over $100 million with no fees, and it claims to have more transactions per second than any blockchain (based on the tangle stuff you may have skipped reading about above).  It's driven by a non-profit in Germany, so that's already a plus over other projects that are in it for personal gain.\n\nAt the moment, it isn't REALLY decentralized - that's going to require a lot more adoption.  If the whole solution was perfect and well oiled machine, you wouldn't see prices where they are now.  It's certainly a work in progress.\n\nHere's a 2 minute video explaining IOTA in less dry terms.\n\nhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j6EPdNb-K8Y&feature=youtu.be\n\n[Here's that previous post again](https://steemit.com/altcoins/@krugo/how-do-i-buy-altcoins-with-usd) I made regarding how to buy altcoins like IOTA.\n\nPlease take everything I've written with a grain of salt - this isn't investment advice!  Do your own research before investing, and only put in what you can afford to lose completely.\n___\n\nIf you like this content, feel free to buy me a crypto beer or something!\n\nETH: 0x22672e914f5e5db24578318d8617306958d9e3dd\n\nBTC: 16cBApd4rh9tgACPD8hFjNHLV1KJzxesFK\n\nLTC: LVySAYrpQuEEQW8jctDXhZ2wzxDmkadcaB",

      "body": "# So, how do you get into the world of Altcoins?\n\nBefore we start here, make sure you have some ETH or LTC - I'll highlight what to do from Coinbase/GDAX.  Information on how to get ETH/LTC on Coinbase can be found in my last post - [Here](https://steemit.com/coinbase/@krugo/how-do-i-buy-crypto-in-the-us)\n___\n\nAt this point, you should have some ETH or LTC in Coinbase or GDAX.  If you're not in GDAX, your Coinbase login should work to get in, as it's owned by Coinbase as well.  Moving your funds to GDAX is instant and free, and they don't charge any fees to withdraw to an external wallet, which we will be doing shortly (Coinbase does charge for this).\n\nTo move your funds into GDAX, go into GDAX and select either the ETH/USD or LTC/USD product from the upper left drop down, depicted in the hastily thrown together screenshot below.\n\n![](https://steemitimages.com/DQmadfEUTh25KAa9zVb86p7kgi1ZGwdqTU32zUMnURKK575/image.png)\n\nOnce selected, select Deposit and then choose the Coinbase account tab.  Your Coinbase balance should appear here - just go ahead and deposit whatever you plan to move into altcoins.  If you choose to go with LTC, you'll have to exchange the LTC for BTC in the next step, while some exchanges offer direct Altcoin/ETH purchases.  \n\nIt's worth noting that it's usually ever so slightly cheaper to be using BTC.  If you want to skip a step, just go with ETH.  If you're dying to get this done ASAP, maybe go with LTC, since at the time of writing this, CryptoKitties are currently congesting the ETH blockchain.\n___\n\n## Buying Altcoins on an Exchange\n\nMy preferred exchange at the moment is [Binance](https://www.binance.com/?ref=11559869).  They offer .1% fees on all transactions (compared to higher .25%+ on other reputable exchanges), in addition to .05% fees if you buy/use their BNB token.  Personally, I bought the smallest amount of BNB possible, but that is entirely optional.\n\nAdditionally, Binance is the only exchange you can use in the US that is selling IOTA at the moment (besides Bitfinex).  I don't believe anyone should be using Bitfinex at the moment, since they were [\"hacked\" and lost $72 million](https://medium.com/@bitfinexed/the-bitfinex-dilemma-blow-up-now-or-try-a-hail-mary-to-retain-in-business-10b9d989359f)\n\nFull disclosure - by signing up via the [Binance](https://www.binance.com/?ref=11559869) links in this article, Binance gives me half of any fees you incur.  This is way better than all of it just going to them!\n\nNow that you've signed up and signed into Binance, click the top right \"Funds\" -> \"Deposits Withdrawals\".  From here, search for ETH or LTC, and click \"Deposit\".  The address that appears is the address you'll be sending the crypto from GDAX to.\n\n**NOTE**: I've highlighted the copy and QR code buttons.  PLEASE use either of these and don't try to manually transcribe that address into GDAX.\n\n![](https://steemitimages.com/DQmXi5xrDwXXoJ8NkMLHztskzCyKnB8bfmB9aLgA16iKuoK/image.png)\n\nOnce you've sent what you intend to spend on altcoins, you can track your transaction on [Etherscan](https://etherscan.io/) or [Litecoin Explorer](https://live.blockcypher.com/ltc/) by entering your deposit address into the search on those pages.  *Don't worry*, you can SAFELY enter your deposit address from Binance here.  The worst thing that could happen if someone has this info is send you coins ;).\n___\n\n### Ok, we're ready to buy Altcoins!\n\nIn the top left of Binance, click \"Exchanges\" -> \"Basic\". \n\nLet's continue the example in ETH.  On the right side of this busy screen, there's an unmarked box that says *Favorites at the top left.  Click the ETH button (shows coins you can buy with ETH), and then in this example we'll select IOTA.\n\n![](https://steemitimages.com/DQmXWRMQdYvC1YgwA3APWRVaCjYoL5XKcjP4d8tV1txJEWJ/image.png)\n\nIn the bottom/center left, there's now a box called \"Buy IOTA\".  Make sure you're on the \"Limit\" tab here.  Punch in the price (in ETH) you want to pay per IOTA (make sure this is no higher than the \"Last Price\" at the top left of the page, which may have changed since you started doing this).  If it's significantly lower than that, the transaction may not process).  Afterwards, enter the amount of IOTA you'd like to buy.  This will automatically calculate how much ETH you're spending for the IOTA, and then you can click the green \"Buy IOTA\" button.  \n\nFor more advanced users, there's the Stop-Limit tab, which will let you automatically buy/sell the coin if/when it hits a certain price threshold you place.\n\n![](https://steemitimages.com/DQmcBgJoDyuKuwz65zxJEcR6SvSLuTA12KsvzBGtV361dfh/image.png)\n\nIf successful, you should see a confirmation message.  To confirm that you have purchased the IOTA, go back to your Funds -> Deposits Withdrawals page, tick the \"Hide 0 Balances\" box, and you should see a balance of IOTA there in your exchange wallet!\n\nIf you've read my previous posts, you'll know that I support not holding your crypto in exchanges if you can avoid it.  For certain alts, like IOTA, the wallet offerings are few and far between.  At the moment, I would just leave the IOTA in Binance.  I will update this post after IOTA comes out with a better wallet solution.\n\nMy next post will probably be a (heavily opinionated) bit on the different Altcoins out there that are appealing to me.\n\nGood luck trading - remember to only spend what you're willing to lose entirely!\n___\nIf you like this content, feel free to buy me a beer or something!\n\nETH: 0x22672e914f5e5db24578318d8617306958d9e3dd\n\nBTC: 16cBApd4rh9tgACPD8hFjNHLV1KJzxesFK\n\nLTC: LVySAYrpQuEEQW8jctDXhZ2wzxDmkadcaB",

      "body": "Below is a quick copy/paste I wrote awhile back for some friends on how to buy the 3 \"main\" cryptos - BTC, ETH, and LTC in the united states with their USD.  There are plenty of sources out there which highlight what these three are, so I won't go on about that here.\n\n---\n\nHOW DO I BUY IT WITH US DOLLARS??????\n\nAll of the below options should have some form of delay in transferring USD to their exchange, and credit cards have an additional fee on top.  Linking your checking account should be completely fine for the options below, as they're some of the most trusted places to buy this stuff.\n\n-COINBASE - Please use my referral link to sign up if you don't have an account already - https://www.coinbase.com/join/52a2dbf5f5becd62f7000061\n-GDAX - lower fees, owned by coinbase, but is an exchange with a tougher UI/UX\n-GEMINI - lower fees than coinbase, but similar exchange UI to GDAX\n\nThe following is an excerpt from Coinbase's insurance/policy.\n---\n\"Coinbase stores all customer fiat currency (government-issued currency) in segregated, custodial bank accounts. The funds held in those accounts belong to Coinbase’s customers - not to Coinbase. \n\nIf you are a United States resident, your Coinbase USD Wallet is covered by FDIC insurance, up to a maximum of $250,000.\n\nCoinbase holds less than 2% of customer funds online. The rest is held in offline storage.\n\nEven if Coinbase were to become insolvent, the funds held in the custodial bank accounts could not be claimed by Coinbase or its creditors. The funds held in those accounts would be returnable to Coinbase’s customers.\"\n___\n\nIT'S IMPORTANT TO NOTE - This simply means your USD is FDIC insured... I'm not completely sold on the crypto/private keys.  So, your USD sitting there waiting to purchase crypto within Coinbase is \"completely safe\".\n\nWhile I recommend you never store your coins/private keys on exchanges, if you're just getting into this, I think you'll be fine having some on Coinbase for now.  I'll write something about wallets at some point.\n\nIf you're familiar with Bloomberg terminals, or market/limit/stop terminology, then GDAX is probably the way to go, since you can essentially circumvent fees altogether.  Personally, I use GDAX, but I migrated from Coinbase, which is super easy, and you can even set up recurring buys at whatever rate you want - helps to \"set it and forget it\".\n\nWherever you choose to go, before you put any of your bank information in, MAKE SURE TO SET UP 2FA with Google Authenticator (I recommend this to everyone, even on their gmail!).\n\nYou already know this is a very volatile space, so make sure you're only putting in what you can afford to lose altogether!\n\n___\nIf you like this content, feel free to buy me a beer or something!\n\nETH: 0x22672e914f5e5db24578318d8617306958d9e3dd\n\nBTC: 16cBApd4rh9tgACPD8hFjNHLV1KJzxesFK\n\nLTC: LVySAYrpQuEEQW8jctDXhZ2wzxDmkadcaB",

      "body": "Hey everyone!\n\nI'm Paul, and I love blockchain technologies!  I currently work in cloud consulting, and see the writing on the wall with blockchain one day replacing it.\n\nLike most people, I have no idea what I'm doing, and I'm just along for the ride - there's so much information (and #fakenews) out there regarding blockchain, so I try to comb the junk out.  I try to learn as much as I can every day, and hope to make a positive change in the world with that knowledge someday.\n\nMany friends have asked me repeatedly about cryptocurrency, so I figured I'd start a blog about it.  Lots of the first few posts will be copy/paste of what I've sent others - very basic, instructional bits on how to get into this world of blockchain (which is still just beginning!).\n\nPlease feel free to let me know what you think of the content, whether it's too simple, complex, or flat out incorrect.  I'll try to avoid opinion as much as I can, but any of it is my own, and not that of my employer (I'm supposed to say that just in case, right?)\n\n\n\nIf you like what you're reading, feel free to buy me a beer or something.\n\nETH: 0x22672e914f5e5db24578318d8617306958d9e3dd\n\nBTC: 16cBApd4rh9tgACPD8hFjNHLV1KJzxesFK\n\nLTC: LVySAYrpQuEEQW8jctDXhZ2wzxDmkadcaB",
