If anyone wants to sell some Ripple I`ll pay £50 for 50 coins
If your willing to pay a premium, there are people on ebay that are selling them.

Yeah I've purchased a couple of hundred off eBay last week, going to give cryptomate one last go later.If your willing to pay a premium, there are people on ebay that are selling them.

I ended up buying some, I bought it through gatehub.net .. Had to register and provide photocopies of ID, and then transferred money from my bank to gatehub. It took a while to register, get approved and wait for funds to be transferred though.
I'm buying Ripple today or tomorrow (waiting for verification to process). Really doesn't feel any different to betting on a horse.
Ripple actually has seems to have a good use though in making cross border financial transactions work quickly and much cheaper than present systems. They are already actually being used by some major banks.
Allegedly their head cryptographer also mention on twitter that he wished he could say which two MAJOR online retailers were about to come onboard
Do you need a blockchain solution to be an actual currency? Or can one be concocted that uses tokens that have no meaningful value (e.g. because all possible tokens are issued at launch) but retains the benefits of blockchain technology through some other means?
No idea, just speculating idly...
So if that’s the case then that eliminates one supposed merit of many of the most widely hyped cryptocurrencies.
Things like this seem to go under the radar though.

Hardly, it is one of the biggest talking points of the day, but nothing Charlie Lee says is a surprise to anyone, he is an outspoken character widely regarded as one of the key players in this industry. Where as for any other company where the creator/owner takes such a step would cause chaos, it doesn't with CL or Litecoin, because investors understand his approach, and position.
The timing is irrelevant, how can he, or anyone else predict at what level of the rise of crypto we are at? Perhaps we are at the top, or perhaps close to the bottom. His decision is in part a reaction a certain Bitcoin Cash promoter and their own questionable tactics surrounding its current position in the market and recent entry to the largest consumer crypto exchange. It is also pointed at the founder of Bitcoin itself, and other coins, to demonstrate that his tech/code will stand above them and isn't based solely upon self-promotion and profit. Having said all that, Charlie Lee is a dubious character for those that don't understand his personality or his past, and the entire Crypto market is one big ponzi scheme making everyone rich...up until the point it isn't (this statement doesn't apply to the principles of blockchain, for that I feel it is a given, and a bigger movement in communication than the Internet).Funny how he decides that he has a conflict of interest after a 7500% rally, instead of at any other point in the past 6 years. Looks quite transparent to me.... he doesn't expect anything like this to happen again, he's predicting that we are at peak crypto and therefore that this is the best time to make himself cash rich.... not sure how else it can be interpreted.
