Hey Bitcoinstein! First of all best of luck in your cryptocurrency endeavor! It's a wildly volatile market so I hope you understand that. For anyone looking to keep a tab on all the latest crypto news and developments I would suggest you to follow the official twitter handles of major cryptocurrencies like @Ripple and their founders like Brad Garlinghouse(Ripple), Vitalik Buterin (Ethereum guy), etc. Online sites like cointelegraph, coindesk, ccn, coinmarketcap, newsbtc, etc are also helpful. They keep publishing latest reports, analysis, articles and opinion pieces which are very informative. Join forums like Bitcointalk and get talking with experienced traders.
