Hello guys,
Since IOTA (MIOTA) is performing so well, some people ask
how to buy IOTA, where to get it and so on. In addition, I think that now is a great time to get some because of a DIP. So I decided to make a simple and short guide on how to do that. I hope you'll find it useful and helpful. Also, feel free to ask or leave any comment or a suggestion. Thank you in advance.
1. IOTA can be traded at few trading platforms -
Binance and Bitfinex. This time I'm writing about Binance because some people faced issues with Bitfinex lately. So you need to register there and open an account. It's really simple. Just go to
Binance (non affiliate link:
Binance) and find a
Register button:

2. Then you must to make a deposit. Find a button
Funds and click on the
Deposits Withdrawals.
https://preview.ibb.co/d5cyWb/1.png3. There are only two trading pairs available which include IOTA - it's Bitcoin (BTC/IOTA) and Ethereum (ETH/IOTA). So you've to decide which cryptocurrency will you choose. As you may know, now Bitcoin fees are extremely high, so Ether would be probably a smarter choice now. Click on
Deposit near a selected currency.

Exchange button and select which type of trading platform do you want to use. I recommend Basic for beginners as it's more simple and cleaner.

As I mentioned before, now Ethereum is probably cheapest way. And write a coin name which you're going to buy. In this example I wrote DASH just to show how it works and how you can filter any coin you want. So write IOTA there or just browse it without search.

and enter an amount of IOTA coins which you're going to buy. Now you'll see how much does it cost. If everything is fine just click on the green
BUY IOTA button. Otherwise, if you're selling it. You can use Stop-Limit functionality as well.

Binance has disabled withdrawals for a while, but it's not the only exchange which has done that because of IOTA network instability.
Good luck!
