Hello
I've had a Coinbase account for a couple years, just playing around with trades. I want to get more involved, so I'm watching people on Youtube & they're shorting crypto & using leverage, but I don't see it available in Coinbase. After a lot of research, it turns out I need a 'VPN' subscription first since I'm in the US. Alright, ok...
Well I may as well go with an exchange with lower fees while I'm at it, time to take off the training wheels & go with.... let's say Zoomex. One of the Youtube guys likes it, so I guess I do too.
Ok, I open an account, go to deposit some money, and it's impossible. It wants USDT... a coin to buy a coin (?)... ok, so I go to buy some USDT with good ole USD and it says I'll get 900 for my $1000. This ain't making much sense. What happened to a simple USD account.
Then I wonder how I'd withdraw to my bank, and I read "Enjoy selling Tether with transaction fees as low as 1% for bank transfers"
I'm totally lost. I just like to read charts and play the game. Shorting would be fun. All this other stuff has my head in knots. Can someone please help me out here :/
