    I am not an expert - this is from Grok. Step-by-Step Guide to Buying XRP Step 1: Choose a Cryptocurrency Exchange Select a reputable exchange that supports XRP trading. Popular options include: Coinbase Binance Kraken Bitfinex KuCoin Research the exchange: Check for fees, security features, and whether XRP is available in your region (some exchanges may restrict XRP due to regulatory issues, e.g., in the U.S.). Verify availability: Ensure the exchange operates in your country and complies with local regulations. Step 2: Create an Account Visit the exchange’s website or download their mobile app. Click on “Sign Up” or “Register” and provide: Your email address A secure password Personal details (e.g., name, date of birth) as required. Complete KYC (Know Your Customer): Submit identification documents (e.g., passport, driver’s license) as required by the exchange. This step is mandatory on most regulated platforms to comply with anti-money laundering laws. Step 3: Secure Your Account Enable two-factor authentication (2FA) using an app like Google Authenticator or Authy for added security. Save your account recovery details (e.g., seed phrases or backup codes) in a secure location. Step 4: Deposit Funds Log into your exchange account. Navigate to the “Wallet” or “Deposit” section. Choose a deposit method: Fiat currency: Deposit USD, EUR, or other supported currencies via bank transfer, credit/debit card, or other payment methods (availability depends on the exchange). Cryptocurrency: If you already own Bitcoin (BTC) or Ethereum (ETH), you can transfer it to the exchange. Follow the instructions to deposit funds (e.g., bank account details or crypto wallet address). Wait for the funds to appear in your account (fiat deposits may take 1-3 business days; crypto deposits are usually faster). Step 5: Buy XRP Go to the “Trade” or “Markets” section of the exchange. Search for the XRP trading pair (e.g., XRP/USD, XRP/BTC, or XRP/USDT). Choose your order type: Market order: Buy XRP at the current market price (fastest option). Limit order: Set a specific price at which you want to buy XRP (executes when the market reaches your price). Enter the amount of XRP you want to buy or the amount of funds you want to spend. Review the fees (trading and network fees) and confirm the purchase. Once executed, the XRP will appear in your exchange wallet. Step 6: Store Your XRP Securely Option 1: Keep on the exchange (less secure): Suitable for small amounts or frequent trading. Be aware of risks like hacks or exchange insolvency. Option 2: Transfer to a personal wallet (more secure): Use a software wallet (e.g., Trust Wallet, Exodus, or Atomic Wallet) or a hardware wallet (e.g., Ledger Nano S/X, Trezor) for long-term storage. To transfer: Go to the “Withdraw” section on the exchange. Enter your wallet’s XRP address (ensure it’s correct to avoid loss of funds). Specify the amount and confirm the transaction. Note: XRP requires a destination tag for some wallets/exchanges—check if your wallet needs one. Pay attention to the minimum reserve requirement (e.g., 10 XRP) for activating an XRP wallet address. Step 7: Monitor Your Investment Track XRP’s price using the exchange’s app, CoinMarketCap, or CoinGecko. Stay informed about XRP news (e.g., regulatory updates, Ripple Labs developments) via platforms like X or reputable crypto news sites. Consider setting up price alerts to stay updated on market movements. Additional Tips Start small: Only invest what you can afford to lose due to crypto’s volatility. Check regulations: In the U.S., XRP’s legal status has been clarified as non-security (as of recent rulings), but always verify local laws. Beware of scams: Only use trusted exchanges and double-check wallet addresses before transferring funds.

  • taigepetersen Taige Petersen (@taigepetersen) reported

    @WatcherGuru will not acknowledge this. XRP’s 2018 all-time high was $3.40. Binance, Kraken, Coinbase, Bitstamp, Bitfinex… The list goes on. That was it, $3.30-$3.40. The $3.84 myth was something no one paid, received, or witnessed in USD. It was a Korean currency exchange issue. Price discovery is above $3.40.

    @DonVsol @DegenerateNews @grok No more free printing by nance/bitfinex/justin Means zero upside. They minted past week for like 2 weeks of pump maximum after this down only.

  • grok Grok (@grok) reported

    @ClayMoore27 @Coachjv_ According to a July 15, 2025 FOIA response, the US Marshals Service holds 28,988 BTC (forfeited assets). Total US government estimates are ~198,000 BTC, including seized but not yet forfeited coins like the Bitfinex hack. No evidence of recent mass sales.

    @rektcapital I stand corrected....... XRP’s 2018 all-time high was $3.40. Binance, Kraken, Coinbase, Bitstamp, Bitfinex… The list goes on. That was it, $3.30-$3.40. The $3.84 myth was something no one paid, received, or witnessed in USD. It was a Korean currency exchange issue.

  • grok Grok (@grok) reported

    No, the claim is misleading. FOIA docs show US holds 28,988 BTC (owned/forfeited), down 85% from ~200k estimates, but much of the reduction is due to returning seized assets to victims (e.g., Bitfinex hack), not market sales. The 2025 Strategic Reserve EO prohibits selling reserved BTC. Sources: USMS, Arkham Intelligence.

    @BTCBreadMan Did bitfinex ever get their **** back?

  • BDsquared2025 BD Squared (@BDsquared2025) reported

    @SenLummis The verified number, 28,988 BTC, comes from a FOIA request to the U.S. Marshals Service, representing the government's actual stash. Arkham's higher figure includes seized coins in legal limbo or slated for return to victims (e.g., Bitfinex hack)

  • VKyriazakos Victor Kyriazakos (@VKyriazakos) reported

    You are part of the government, you should be fact-checking these claims not recirculating a twitter thread… Here is the address with the confiscated bitfinex hack money, still holding 95k BTC: bc1qazcm763858nkj2dj986etajv6wquslv8uxwczt Look it up in a block explorer. Btc wallets the US gvt controls can be found at bitbo dot io. DYOR folks avoid the FUD.

  • Hadicrypto23 H (@Hadicrypto23) reported

    @HODL15Capital @SaniExp as Bitfinex had previously resolved the issue with its users and accounted for the loss. Therefore, this amount can reasonably be considered part of the exchange’s actual holdings.

  • TendermintTimmy Timmy 銃🔫 (@TendermintTimmy) reported

    @laurashin @SenLummis Bitfinex will most certainly not be getting jack **** back from the US government anytime soon...

  • afabriciius Fab & the Cats (@afabriciius) reported

    i didn't need grok but here we go The recent stories about the U.S. selling Bitcoin are often overhyped and framed as clickbait, but they typically refer to the government auctioning off cryptocurrencies seized in legal cases, like those from the Silk Road, Bitfinex hack, or other criminal investigations. These sales aren't secret; they're part of standard legal procedures. Once cases are resolved, the U.S. Marshals Service (USMS) or other agencies are required to liquidate these assets, often through public auctions, as the government doesn't hold crypto as a strategic asset on its books. They have no choice but to sell, as you noted, since retaining crypto long-term isn't part of their policy or legal framework. So, yeah, it’s mostly a "nothing burger" dressed up as big news.

  • grok Grok (@grok) reported

    Arkham Intelligence identifies US government Bitcoin wallets through on-chain transaction analysis, public records of seizures (e.g., Silk Road, Bitfinex), and AI-powered entity matching. This is cross-verified by firms like Chainalysis and cited in reports from Cointelegraph and The Block. Current holdings remain ~198,000-207,000 BTC per July 2025 data from multiple sources.
