Many people get concerned about the Ripple XRP coin supply. This link is an explanation of the supply, how a large chunk of them are held in escrow, and released into the ecosystem.

Binance cryptocurrency exchange. This exchange is slowly becoming one of my favorites. Great coins, lots of trade volume, 2 btc withdrawal limit for unverified accounts. I really like the charts and layout too. At this rate it's going to become my go to site for daily trading. If you're not on there already feel free to use my referral link and check it out for yourself.
