Should see all the crazy buy amounts again! $100,000 here and there for both Ripple and BitCoin, BitCoin will recover back to the $19,000 - $20,000 mark quickly (currently on ($16,000), it happened last time the prices plummeted people wanted to get in "cheaper", just pushes the price back up faster. Ripple will take a lot longer to recover back to the $3.00 mark.

Even more embarrasing would be the lower spec variants of the VF in HSV's stable getting whopped by a factory XR8.

Some people bet on the Ripple market price coming right down, and held off buying, others bought at or around its peak thinking that the price was going to keep going up from there, it could have gone either way, that's how these markets are, volatile and completely unpredictable.

So many people freaking out, 10k support will stop BTC dropping lower. I remember the crash last year where my original investment went down to 20% of what i put it in, took three months but was at 1550% when i cashed it out around December. This makes me wish i was still in the game with more than I have now, VEN is a steal at this price right now.

All you Ripple lovers should do some more research too, i'll leave it at that.

Zero point, you all love XRP and won't change what you have done so my points would fall on deaf ears. Plenty of tokens out there that are stronger, just XRP is in the media so much and is cheaper so all the new guys jump on board. Word of mouth is extremely strong. I don't tell my friends about crypto and almost all of the ones telling me they are now getting into it are buying XRP, power of the media and word of mouth.

Look at the current price difference of Bitcoin on BTC markets and CoinSpot:

BTC Markets: $16,699.28

CoinSpot: $19293.30

Ripple is a lot higher on CoinSpot too.
How does this work?

That's what I was thinking, but there has to be a catch, CoinSpot fees must be way up there? And how long would a transfer take, would it be instant? You'd have to time it well.

I am new to this topic mate, what other coins would you recommend for consideration? There are like 1500 different coins out there and i would be happy to read a bit so some heads up would be great to narrow down this 1500 to a reasonable number))

I have been using btcmarkets. Coinspot just verified me today so will probably jump on some random coins soon just to see what happens.
