Forget Ripple. Jed already dumped his pre-mine, and now he has forked Ripple into Stellar. Go on and get your Stellars then. 
How to get some Stellars. Do Stellars has value.
Really? Those Stellars everyone is talking about are forked Ripples? Holy cow... The thing is: Altcoins really don't get my attention anymore. I just stay with BTC I guess. It's the safest bet because it's the one with the biggest traction and active development.
