I am getting back into bitcoin after a while of mining altcoins. I want to use it as its own currency, but I cannot find a way that is agreed on how to keep your bitcoin for personal use. I understand ways to either store or use bitcoins, and it seems that to really use bitcoins on a daily basis easily, you have to give up things to the extent of the full control of your bitcoin. The best compromise I can find is Green Address, but it is a little too new to tell from what i can see. I am asking about how to store about one hundred USD in bitcoin that is fairly easily to access from my android phone and computer for ease of use, but the best possible security.
I dont have enough to sell to you but go to bitstamp.com and get an account, deposit bitcoins, use them to buy usd, then buy ripples with the usd. It goes straight to your ripple account and i find you get slightly more ripples than other places.
