He is saying that it is almost impossible to verificate your account on an exchange in a short period of time.
So he decided to use cryptopia..
but really the biggest fee for this entire process will be getting bitcoin to Cryptopia. Compared to that the transaction fees and the LTC withdraw fees will be minimal compared to moving bitcoin around
If he is willing to pay those fees, then it might be worth it because he doesnt have to provide a few documents and his id and selfie, and that is a real hassle.
And that verification could take a week, or maybe more because all the exchanges are collapsed right now.
Cryptopia is the best, and their rates are not expensive, just go to the exchange tab in there and it will show you all the rates, they are almost the same as the ones who coinmarketcap is showing.
