Well, you know what they say (or what I Say), when the news (Fake News) tells you to do something, DON'T LISTEN!
CNBC is apparently trying to teach people how to purchase Ripple (XRP) on Poloniex Exchange. This is a sure fire way to screw people. Poloniex is not the easiest exchange to mess with and combine that with CNBC it is a recipe for disaster.
PUMPING A SHIT COIN! Do not buy Ripple! Ripple is NOT decentralized, they can shut your wallet at any point and it is a BANK Coin. Please do not support this bad behavior.
