Are these the steps to buying and storing cryptocurrency?

[ripplemeupscotty]

1. Buy BTC on Kraken

2. Send BTC to Poloniex

3. Buy Ripple and other altcoins on Poloniex with BTC 

4. Transfer Ripple and other altcoins to their respective desktop wallets

5. Move Ripple and other coin if possible to nano S/trezor

Am i missing something?

Stop buying from Polo and giving them business/traffic congestion. Try buying from Kraken or Bitstamp. Alternatively, I think you can also buy XRP from Gatehub at a better rate.

You can buy XRP directly on Kraken with your btc.

New approach since recent news:

1. Buy XRP on Kraken (using BTC, EUR, USD, JPY, and CAD, fiat pairs only since today possible)

2. Withdraw XRP to your nano S Ripple wallet (only from tomorrow possible)
