Bitcoin is too slow and expensive for payments and it's actually more of a store of value.
The likes of XLM (Stellar) is fast and cheap for sending payments while XRP (also fast and cheap) has a use case for cross border payments.
Expect XRP to go through the roof when the SEC case is settled.

XRP was approx $0.45 when I wrote this and now it's over a dollar. Who was it here that called it a scam?
XLM being doing well since this as well.

Really got into this over the past 3 months. Made a lot on XRP. Will probably take my stake out. Balls deep in Cardano and it's performing well. Have a long term position in Bitcoin.

Keep a bag of XRP if you can. Even just a small one.

After you have done what Mikhael suggested and got started with Binance I would suggest (but not financial advice) you could probably go for something like:
Bitcoin 50%
Ethereum 30%
And then split your other 20% between the next tier (Polkadot, Cardano, Chainlink or the true alt-coins where you can go after big potential gains as they are much riskier).

That's probably a decent long term strategy with the potential for good growth, but you aren't heavy on the coins that could go 30x or 40x in a short time.

I don't get Ethereum. What's is the upside to it? It's slow and costly. I just don't understand the value in it.

Cheers gents! Will look into Binance tonight..

Is there any pages/forums you follow on trends/pairs to sway towards/avoid?

Say a hypothetical £2000 pot to play with... Yey/Ney on Polkadot over another coin per say?

All those coins that build on the Ethereum platform must know something that you don't know.

Obviously not as they're all trying to fix the inefficiency's in the network. Ether is overvalued massively IMO

So where do you expect ETH to go from here?
