i trade altcoins as a hobby. then i discovered ripple, read up on it, and i was really impressed. i wish some of the altcoins i trade was available in ripple.
i recommend that you give it a chance and do a little research on it.
Allright, i will tokeweed. I have previously hold: PPC, LTC, DOGE and BC.
Right now I have a small amount of alt coins left (DOGE).
Else is everything converted into BTC.
My biggest concern is the exchange! I don't trust any of the exchange right now. So only alternative is private trading with escrow.
