    I cry hype. You can buy ripple on bitstamp, but not sell. What's the point of that? I received 2000XRP from an early adopter but have no idea how to cash them out or what a "trusted gateway" is.

    Can anyone explain how you are supposed to use this?

    (edit: started reading this https://ripple.com/working-with-ripple/)

    From what I'm reading, the prices are incredibly misleading. People are buying ripples at the high price quoted in the article, but outstanding bid orders are generally 10x lower.

    I get that it's a barter/IOU system, but I don't know how you justify that people can start with any amount of ripples they want just because they were there first. Where are they traded? How can I get rid of mine? Am I looking at it backwards?
