Response to derekdavis05:
First, as usual, none of this is investment advice.
Bitstamp is easy to use, but we have a responsibility to keep our info/money safe. Bitstamp could be the most secure site in the world, but if we're using a computer running Windows XP, riddled with viruses, and download sketchy programs from unknown sources... thats asking for trouble.
With bitstamp, you create your account, username password.. highly reccomended to use two factor authentication with Authy... (protects your PW from being stolen). not required.. but recommended.
https://authy.com/
depending on how you want to deposit money, you decide. a lot of people use a credit card because its simple and fast (money is ready to use in an hour or less). the one thing that turns people off is you have to send a photo of yourself holding the card (numbers blocked) to bitstamp.
concerning this, many people complain about identify theft.. but the way i look at it is millions of customers identify from Target stores were stolen a few years ago... and it wasnt even the customers fault. As long as we take precautions, we can reduce the chance of ID theft.
Experian itself (which is meant to PROTECT US from being hacked) was just hacked with the majority of Americans ID stolen.

The one thing that makes me comfortable with bitstamp (im not suggesting i use it personally) is bitstamp is the only Nationally Licensed Bitcoin Exchange; Licensed In 28 EU Countries:

so again, its a personal choice. Only do what makes YOU comfortable. if concerned, dont invest or find another route.
Our IDs get stolen at least once a year by some store or business yet we ignore it because its difficult to wrap our heads around numbers such as '140 million american IDs stolen in recent hack'.
if you decide to go this route, you deposit your money, then buy Bitcoin. then sell bitcoin and buy XRP. it seems difficult, and it is at first, but its childsplay once you get the hang of it.
im currently working on a step by step guide for buying XRP. i may ask a friend to do it for me, but ill try to get it out as soon as possible.
Quote:
Once I can use my account how does the whole buying and selling of XRP work in terms of exchanging it to US Dollars? Will I simply deposit money from my Bank account into my Bitstamp account, buy XRP, and then sell XRP in return for US Dollars? There was mention of some sort of wallet or something and I'm just now sure how to buy XRP with USD and then sell and make sure I can get actual money in return.
Sorry for all the questions, thank you for taking time to respond!
