Post by: Lifes on December 18, 2017, 12:56:42 PM
Hi guys , these question its maybe a topic but let me clarify , i know where to buy BTC , ETH with FIAT but i saw abussive fees , for example bought 159€ worth btc on blockhain.info and finally recieved 125€ worth BTC , that for me its an abussive fee.

Where you buy bitcoin , eth (common crypto that you need to exchange for alts) , with decent fees? All time when i want to buy an altcoin have to buy first BTC or ETH to exchange for it.

Thanks !

I haven't bought BTC lately, but I heard that the transaction fees has increased recently to as much as $20 and some exchanges charge higher in order for their transactions to be pushed through faster.

i never buy ETH because i love my money enough not to invest it in something like that.
but i have bought bitcoin and i mostly do it using localbitcoins to purchase with local currency and kind of off the market. the rest is me trading on exchanges to make more of it .

regarding fees, that is the fiat and banks related "abuse" and you have to accept it when using banks and fiat.

You could buy Bitcoins from various sources such as coinbase, Localbitcoin, kraken etc.. Localbitcoins is a good source from where you can select any offer of your choice and then make the deal but be sure that the dealer is trustworthy. They have credit score over there and make sure they have done many transactions in the past.  You could also buy Bitcoin directly from blockchain through your credit card. You will have to buy BTC or ETH and then exchange them into Altcoins if you want to store them in wallets. ETH can be bought from coinbase as ETH has low fees and can be used to transfer coins to any exchange and then convert it to BTC.

I advise you to use the advcash platform, I've been working with him for a long time, the commission is 0% when I transfer to BTC. goo.gl/sBZjVG

Here's the right link, I guess, if you meant the comparison itself:

Indeed, that's a good one.

Localbitcoins is also a great thing.

Any cryptoexchanges that use cryptocurrency and fiat money like Bitfinex, Cex.io and others.
Just deposit your money and buy any cryptocurrency that you want

Yeah I think you have a high transaction fees in your place. Here in our country we have a good amount of transaction fees which I think is enough for the price because I think the fees are reasonable. Not in only one bank here, that bank gets high fees unlike other bank if I want to transfer your money in their bank account all transaction for transfers are free, unlike with my bank. I maybe have a wrong decision to make to enter my money in that bank with a very high amount.

If you are from european countries than you can try bitpanda as they accept sepa transfer and have considerably lower commision also you can keep your bitcoin or ethereum there as they also have inbuilt wallet feature.

They also allow users to buy/sell bitcoin, ethereum, litecoin for EURO and also process SEPA withdrawals in EURO within 1 business day.

And exchanging the BTC , ETH and to alt coins ,there are so many sites like bitfinex etc .Every site mentions there transaction prices on their site. just compare and choose it.

Whatever exchanges you will try to buy crypto the recent fees really are expensive. These days are expensive to spend even you will withdraw or transfer the coins it is the same. There are many exchange to use to buy like coinbase and localbitcoins and others. You may search thoroughly if there is any exchange offer lower fees.

yes indeed it is true, and the cost is now quite high, it is because in terms of rising bitcoin as well, maybe for people new to bitcoin a little bit confused and shocked about the cost.

Almost all exchanges are using high fee currently but try polo thats exchange I know with the least fee so far or try finding someone selling alts you want on marketplace section and just use escrow service for assurance.

I noticed on Blockchain.info that the fees are EXTREMELY high for some reason. I played around with it the other day, and I had to

pay a HUGE fee for a very small amount. I think their fee estimation is out of whack. When I used my Trezor, the fee was much

smaller for more or less the same transaction size and bytes used.  ::) .... See if you can use one of the regulated exchanges, if you

want to buy/sell... it is so much easier for tax purposes.  ;D

Right now, the fee is so abusive. For now, I think that it is normal for us to suffer that rate, because of the miners nowadays I think. They're the one whose abusing the system.

This is the only drawback of buy cryptocurrency. So better you invest huge investment. This is reduce  your abusive fees. But it is not abusive fees why you want buy altcoins. This is one of the profitable investment so you spend some money. So don't confuse this abusive fees. Just hold your altcoins in long-term investment. Don't buy cryptocurrency in continuously you should wait and invest in later.

I usually buy in smaller quantity and higher frequency so if I am using an exchange for it, it takes much time and constant attention throughout the process so I prefer changelly to convert my BTC to alt-coins or vice versa. However, I agree that fees are not cheap through this option but I am more concerned about security and hence don't care much about paying the little extra amount for it. There are many cheaper alternatives in the market.

I use to buy cryptocurrency on Bittrex. Is safe and  is a good place to do trading.

Well , when I buy I use my local exchanges , cause It's easy for me to withdraw the money after. I suggest to use your exchange country if you have one. It's easier and safer if you ask me.

The easiest way is to set up an account with Coinbase. You can also buy cryptocurrencies at various exchanges. Additionally, there are lots of bounty programs around here that will pay you in tokens (usually ERC20 or Ethereum compatible) for using a signature, sharing, retweeting, and blogging.

You can buy bitcoins from some trusted sellers or buyers who are involved in this business. There are also some websites that are available on internet for such purposes of buying and selling bitcoins. You will have to be aware of fraud and scams.

Always contact the trusted seller and buy your crypto currency from him. Websites like coinbase, local bitcoin, and kraken are the sources to buy or sell crypto currency over internet safely.

If you want to buy crypto currencies then there is no use of rocket science that may confuse you. You will have to follow simple steps. Firstly go to websites where the bitcoins sellers and buyers are available then you can ask to buy any crypto currency which you need. Always choose a trusted buyer and then make a payment to him using your credit card or bank transfer. Then he will transfer you crypto currencies in your wallet.
