Little reading I have done in last 10 minutes suggests only safe way to play is buy a Nano wallet or similar, which is $130+. That's about 20% of all I would be looking to play with. How unsafe is it leaving it in the Exchange or whatever it is - do they get hacked regularly?

Never looked into this before - for those that are into it, if you were starting from scratch and only playing with $600, and looking to get into Ripple likely by transfer from bank account, who would you buy through, and how would you store it? Can you even get into it with that small an amount?
Yes you should get a wallet. But I wouldnt worry until you account has hit 5K or higher... The exchange will store it for you. The risk there is that exchanges can be hacked. Chances are low but real. North Korea is the worlds largest financial thief.
