I am meeting a friend this afternoon that has tried to get me on board with XRP every time we talk. He messaged me and asked if understand what people are warning about getting your tokens off the exchange, and so I offered to help him set up a wallet, and learn wallet recovery.

My plan is to respond to his common refrain that sounds like this, "why don't you at least buy some XRP in case it goes up, the banks are about to...." etc. So it's an appeal to NUMBER GOES UP. My response is going to go something like this;

"I appreciate that you are looking out for me and want me to make some money along with you. However, I've been down that road, and what I've discovered is that Bitcoin is the money that you are trying to make. The pot of gold at the end of the rainbow is filled with Bitcoin."

Could I put a little bit on XRP and see if I 10x my fiat? Sure I could. And then I buy Bitcoin with the profits. But too many times in the past I lost money. Had I just bought the best money available and help onto it, I would be much farther ahead now.

I'll let you know how it goes tomorrow. The least I can do thought is help him get his shitcoins into Trust wallet or something similar. Then I can show him how to do swaps for Bitcoin.
