    Here's another guy I follow talking about Ripple, how to buy, trade, and what to expect... He and I have pretty much the same outlook.

    I get the feeling crypto is about to blow up across the board

    2018, should be a ridiculous year. ALL of the top 25-50 (save a few Bitcoin forks) will be in the green. I expect the rest, with a few exceptions, to wither away. Probably a 3-5T market cap. IMO

    What do you think of the ICOs?

    As the market cap of crypto expands, this will slow down stock market growth

    My second $3000 has not posted On coin base yet. Started a transfer on the 23rd

    I think we'll, generally, see an end of those, as people will wise up that many of them are scams. The good projects will continue, and people will invest capital, but the iffy ones won't get a dime. Too many people have invested in ICOs, and been burned; hence why a number of nations have banned them outright.

    i hate how slow coinbase is. I have fiat coming in as well. It always takes at least a week or more.

    Lot of people I know getting *interested* in crypto. My dad wanted me to help him invest in it... my brother apparently invested... I feel apprehensive to help them because I'd hate to feel responsible for their inevitable losses.

    Point them to a youtube tutorial. Cryto Bobby and Boxmining are very solid channels.

    I hate to admit this but man I struggle with these decimal conversion. Is there an easy way to remember how to use decimals? I mean like .005, is there an easy way to calculate how many of them .005's it would take to make a whole 1? I go to the calculator to figure them now....but I am sure there is an easier method. How do you get from .005 x 200= 1 if you only know .005 and 1?

    I know this sounds goofy, but I just don't use decimals much, I mean other than siding thicknesses, or metal thicknesses....but never in thousandths and above and rarely hundredths.

    Reciprocals. 4% is 4/100ths. Reciprocal is 100/4 or 25. In your example, .005 = 5/1000ths. Reciprocal 1000/5 = 200.

    Is that what you are looking for?

    Maybe map it over to fractions? and attempt to drive the numerator to one

    0.005 = 5/1000 How many fives are in 1000 (200) so 1/200 would be equivalent

    Sometimes approximations are fine 0.066 = 66/1000 How many sixty sixes are in 1000, well there are 1 1/2 sixty sixes in 100 and ten 100s in 1000 so 15 sixty sixes in 1000 and 1/15 is a close approximation

    Anyone have opinions on Crypterium? Apparently it's in an ICO stage, then they burn up the rest of the "coins", so people can only buy them from other people.

    Thank you both. That makes sense and makes it much easier for me. So I can basically take .0007 and know it is 7/10,000, spin it around to 10,000/7 and know it is around 1400 to make $1. Then when I checked my calculator is was 1428 to make 1. I appreciate your guys help.
