Please note -- I will have limited internet access for awhile -- so PLEASE do not be upset that I cannot reply right away, or to everyone. I am dealing with some changes, and will have limited time online and will be happy if I get a few blog posts up a week.
This has really upset some people but I do not force my opinions on others, or need to communicate every detail of my life or issues, most people do not care anyways. I invested around 10 hours or more a day on Steemit most of my first 13 mths here, trying to build community, put out content and engage people, help and donate to people, and I just do not have that time in my life right now, and that includes for replies and voting/curation.
I have done my best, sorry if you do not understand like some are clearly having a problem with. It's a blogging platform, and I will do my best at everything, and to keep blogging.
Carry On.

Digital currencies fell broadly on Monday, with ripple and bitcoin leading the charge lower.

Ripple traded 10 percent lower at $2.46 on the Bitstamp exchange. Coinmarketcap.com showed its price down nearly 25 percent, but it appeared that may be due to the site excluding certain prices from Korean exchanges.

Bitcoin was off by 7.6 percent, while litecoin fell 6.4 percent according to Coinbase. Bitcoin futures also fell 10.5 percent at the Cboe, trading at $15,010 as of 4:15 p.m. New York time.

Ethereum prices, however, traded 4.7 percent higher at $1,143.56.

Ripple left counterparts like bitcoin, the largest digital currency by market cap, in the dust last year. In 2017, ripple soared 35,000 percent, while bitcoin rose 1,500 percent.

Contrary to many digital currencies, ripple has been working with large institutions, giving it an aura of legitimacy and practicality. However, cryptocurrency enthusiasts say centralization is the exact opposite of what the technology of the digital currencies should be about.

"The reason ripple is surging so much is it's a bubble," said Erik Voorhees, CEO of digital asset exchange ShapeShift and a vocal advocate for bitcoin as a way to separate money and the state. "Testing crypto with banks doesn't make sense. The whole idea of crypto is you don't need banks."

Ripple is officially the name of a 5-year-old start-up based in San Francisco that is developing a payments network for financial institutions. XRP is the name of the coin participants can use for transactions.

I love the way this guy is pitching it as Crypto's on sale. Today was a good buy in day for me. I couldn't pass on this dip. My long term hold is Ethereum over Bitcoin. I just connect with it energetically more. But, I appreciate and am grateful for all that Bitcoin has made possible. I got in on Ethereum when it was at $19.00 still holding it and still growing it. Today I loaded up on more ADA, XLM, TRX, and ENG. I am feeling good!

That is right diversification is not just for the rich anymore ya'll.

I love my Ledger Wallet too!

Today is a good day.

I was in even earlier on $ETH and know what you mean. I was such a noob LOL.

I have limitations in my life now I never used to have, with the car running me over and the state burying my file and life due to my activism, from all clear sources.

Or I would be A LOT further ahead in all this.

I hear you. We went through some tough times too. We are bouncing back. My husband got in at $9.00 but had to sell off. He had over 400 bitcoins at what time. 🙃
