wanna say thank you for all the replies. not been online for a couple of days due to work etc, but have read all replies and will keep learning and reading..

hoping ledger will run with iota soon, as after getting it, the xrp storage was a breeze ( on the basis it was my 1st time storing ).. but ty again all 

Just spent a bit of time looking on coinmarketcap.. nice site..   took a look at TRX / Tron and like the sound of it, and seems to be priced really low.. but heck... it seems to be shooting up in last couple of hours..  wonder if thats another ship that has sailed <g>

Thank you all    will keep reading up , and look at trying to maintain some BTC in the mix.

Thank you all for the replies

Thanks guys, appreciate the replies

Hey all. So... after a few weeks of studying crypto i decided to make some purchases. I only bought a couple of days ago, so not holding coins at their lowest point. Nothing huge, but with the idea of holding it for around 10 years to give to my children. I know no-one can ever predict what will happen to prices, so i just bought what ( at this moment ) i could afford to lose, although i am sure i will add small amounts over time in the future. My purchase is made up of some XRP, Iota and Data. I also bought a Ledger Nano to store it on ( guessing that will be as safe as anything ...) Here's the main questions i am wondering....

1) Are my purchases sensible ? ( As far as anyone can be with this...and i know alot of that will be based on different peoples opinions, but i didnt want to risk getting caught in a scam ICO )

2) My ledger gets here in a couple of days... and despite reading up on MEW, i cant figure out if i will be able to send my coins straight to the ledger from the exchange, or will it be Exchange --> MEW --> Ledger.

Not asking if i should have bought X instead of Y, just asking for a little bit of knowledge as looking and reading the wealth of info out there is swamping me i.e when using/creating with MEW should i be offline ? As it seems i need to download stuff etc..

Cheers guys, any insight is appreciated..

Read whitepapers and looked into the ones i chose to educate myself as much as possible, but appreciate there are a so many people out there with far greater knowledge than i could maybe gain.
