Title: What's The Easiest Way To Trade BTC To Other Altcoins?
Post by: blkbitcoinbabe on June 15, 2017, 12:35:43 AM
I've managed to make a few trades on other websites, but its kinda hard finding a place to trade BTC for ETH or LTC in a timely manner. I thought about posting here, but then I saw how new accounts are looked at.

Does anybody have any advice?

An exchange like http://btc-e.com is probably the easiest with the lowest fees. I haven't traded on exchanges in years. It would probably be best to shop around and compare withdrawal rates and trade commissions.

There are sites like http://shapeshift.io which exchange some alts exchanges do not support. Their fees and rate of exchange are not the greatest. In some cases converting alts might only yield 50% to 60% of what the amount you're trading is worth. Their minimums exchange amounts may also be too high for some smaller alt holders to consider.

Poloniex lag and all for switching between coins does the trick for me.
Pretty much the minimum KYC for small amounts with larger amounts requiring more details it does the job.

Even i have also been in bitcoin exchange market since two years, what i realized is the localbitcoins and poloniex are much secure and user friendly exchange/trade platforms nowadays.
Your trust rank increase as much as you trade.

I prefer Bittrex.com  - better selection of coins and less lag than poloniex
