Ripple has a huge number of issued coins not all of them in circulation and it's centralized-meant for cross border settlements between banks. Buy some but don't expect it to go anywhere for many years.



Bitcoin Gold is a forked coin with no clear purpose.

Some news about Bitcoin Gold.



A hacker successfully injected malicious files into the official Bitcoin Gold wallet repository and download file, potentially placing users at extreme risk of having funds or personal data stolen.



Bitcoin Gold Wallet Download File Hacked



On November 26, Bitcoin Gold's development team posted a "Critical Warning" revealing that for four-and-a-half days — from November 21 to November 25 — users who downloaded the official Windows wallet from the Bitcoin Gold website or GitHub repository also received two suspicious files of unknown origin.



Presumably, these files were created to steal user funds or information, so the developers strongly advised anyone who downloaded the Windows wallet client during this period to take extreme caution to protect themselves and their funds — even going to far as to wipe any machines that downloaded the malicious files.

You mean the transaction fee is cheap?



If you buy something that is banned in your country, how would you get it  delivered?



Customs agents would seize it.

Transaction fees are cheap for most, except BTC. (2-30 dollars)



Lot of companies cater to sending things incognito so it's less likely to get flagged.

But if custom finds out and seize the parcel, they most likely have your whole family blacklisted. Just isn't worth it IMO and best to just be a good lawful citizen.

But then how do they recieve the parcel?  I'm sure there's gotta be a delivery address where the cops could start investigating.

It either arrives or it doesn't. If it doesn't, then customs nabbed it and they're looking for that naughty person (Richard Hadcheez) who tried to use a random family's address.

But if the suspicious name of the buyer doesn't exist under the household address and the parcel contains a prohibited item, wouldn't the police file an investigation?

Depends on the item. Hardcore street drugs or some guns, yes. Other stuff, not so much. They can't enter your home without good reason.
