Need help understanding Coinbase’s action re my XRP Holding

[Dimo56]

I admit I’m clueless about crypto investing.  I bought 10k “shares” of XRP on the advice of a friend through Coinbase.  I completely misunderstood Coinbase’s email messages about it’s intent to stop trading XRP in January.  I interpreted their assurances to mean that while I could no longer trade XRP shares, I could still cash out when I wanted.  Now my account says I still have 10k shares in my “wallet “, but $0 in my account?  I do not what to cash out yet, but would love to know how, should that day come.  Can anyone advise?  Thanks.

You should move the XRP to another wallet. There are many of them (paper waller, hardware wallet, online wallets...), so it's better if you read something about them and decide where to withdraw the money.
