RE: How to buy TOPSOL with Steem, BTS, VIVAcoin, USD, EURO and other crypto or fiat.

in #bitshares7 years ago (edited)

do you know any way of buying bitcoin or steem without paying the 17% transfer fees. i brought my first $20 worth of bitcoin today and then transferred it to steem. the whole process cost $3.60. that's about 17% fee just to buy steem

Sort:  

do not buy bitcoin for things like this, buy litecoin or ETH
the transaction fees for bitcoin are just to much if you are using really small amounts
the other coins are just a lot friendlier what the transaction fees are concerned

what exchange do you suggest, as i just checked coinbase.com and the have they same fee amount for bitcoin, litecoin and ETH

the way I do it is buy from bitpanda ( there is a surcharge with the creditcards) and transfer to bittrex to get steem... this is how I have done it in the past.

thanks for the information, i will check it out.

Contact @carodebali who is looking for euro !

Steem rises 15 % from yesterday, so you get your $3.60 back ! You have to be cautious when you buy a crypto because they can loose or rise 50 % very easily. So buy them when they are low and don't worry about the 17 %. If you want to buy a stable crypto, buy one of these https://steemit.com/crypto/@chrisaiki/stable-cryptocurrencies-bitusd-usdt-bit20-viva-hero-x8
