How to buy ripple on Binance

It is recommended that you use Binance to buy ripple. Why? Binance has shown to be the most capable buying platform recently, it has not crashed like Bitfinex and continues to have 100% uptime.

1. Head over to registration page for Binance. Enter your details. When you click register you will then need to verify your email.

As BINANCE is unavailable due to technical upgrade .. a good alternate is Kucoin. Details in this article here

2. Once you have verified your email address and once you log back, Hover your mouse over the Funds link in the navigation bar across the top of the page. It should then reveal a drop down menu. Click Deposits Withdrawls

3. You will see a lot of cryptocurrencies on this page. Find bitcoin BTC and click the Deposit link at the end. This will then slide down and reveal your receiving address

4. Now we need to send some Bitcoins to Binance so we can trade them in like we did for the Bitfinex steps above. So sign up to a CryptoCurrency Wallet Provider, Again I recommend Coinbase and purchase your Bitcoins using what ever currency you wish.
5. Again, from our Coinbase account that we have just created and bought our bitcoins with we will need to send them to the address that you generated on Binance. You do this by going to Accounts and then clicking the Send button under the wallet of the currency you purchased.

After you click Send, a dialogue window will pop up and this will ask you to enter an address to send bitcoin to. This is the address that we got from Binance when you clicked deposit. This dialogue is also where you will be able to enter the amount of bitcoin you want to send to buy ripple with.

Note: Sending to Binance may take a few hours. So not panic if it is not instant. It could take 12 hours. Especially with all this BTC Folk stuff going on.

6. Once your bitcoin has been received by Binance hover over the Exchange link at the top left of the page next to the Binance logo. This will show you a drop down menu. Click Basic

7. Find and click your trading pair in the right hand column. Because we are wanting to buy ripple with bitcoin we are looking for ripple/BTC. Obviously if you sent Etherum over instead you would be looking for ripple/ETH.

8. You will now be able to see the buying form. Fill this out with the amount of ripple you want to buy and then click the Buy ripple button.

All Done. That might take some time to go through. Even though ripple is fast it is the exchange that you are dealing with.

Is Coinbase safe?

Coinbase is the world’s largest Bitcoin exchange, so this is a common question.

Yes, Coinbase is a Bitcoin company based in San Francisco, and backed by trusted investors.

Coinbase is the world’s largest Bitcoin broker, and also offers an exchange, wallet, and developer API.

For most people around the globe, Coinbase would be the easiest option to buy Ethereum, Bitcoin, or Litecoin (it doesn't support any others yet).

After verifying your account, you can add a number of payment methods including credit or debit cards, bank accounts, or even wire transfers of funds.

Typically you will need to verify your account with a driver's license and add other details to expand your buy limits. Since cryptocurrencies are "hard currencies," the exchanges don't want to risk getting ripped off, since you can't reverse a cryptocurrency transaction once it's done. If you are looking for some of the newer coins like NEO that are making big movement but haven't made their way to the aforementioned exchange sites, you can look into Bittrex, Poloniex or Livecoin. You can transfer Bitcoin or Ethereum to these platforms from Coinbase and then exchange it for any other digital currency that you want.
