I need an advice from cryptoveterans

[BlockchainGod]

Hey, guys!

I've been following cryptomarket news for two months. Trying to understand how it works, how to buy and invest. The problem is that most exchanges like Coinbase are blocked in my country. That's why I use localbitcoins to buy btc. Cryptomans who use localbitcoins know that they has very slow support. That happened with me too. I was trying to buy bitcoin and it stuck somewhere. Damn it. I spent 7 days to resolve the issue with localbitcoins support, cause they answer once in 3 days.

Another problem if I want to buy cryptos like Monero, Dash, Litecoin, I have to do the following steps:

• buy btc on localbitcoins
• move etc to the exchange
• exchange it to another crypto
• withdraw and in each step I have to pay commission. Sucks.

Is there any other peer to peer exchanges where I can buy coins like Monero, Dash, Litecoin for fiat money?

I would appreciate your advice.

I can advise you Lykke Wallet app. If it is not blocked in your country, use it. In it you can buy bitcoin, Ethereum, litecoin and many tokens with a minimum extra charge ( much less than in localbitcoins)

You know what mate, many of the community member in this forum are very accommodating and helpful. BUt how can we help you or give you the exact advise if we don't know what country you belong. Since that in every country they have different exchangers aside from localbitcoin, there are some exchange platform can resolve your problem I don't know and I'm not sure if bittrex or poloniex can hlep you with but you can try besides nothing to loose.

How about this BITIT.IO ?
Honestly never tried it before, but it seems they accept credit card to purchase ETH or BITCOIN.

Thanks. They take 7% commission.

In many countries it is blocked.

Another problem if I want to buy cryptos like Monero, Dash, Litecoin, I have to do the following steps:

I've seen that http://www.bitcoinromania.ro does what you need - their main target is Bitcoin, but they work with altcoins too and all the coins from your list is on their list too. For altcoins they seem to require at least 2000 EUR/transaction.

But you have to register your account to see that option and also, if you want to transact there, you'll need to get fully registered (ID/passport, you have to ask there how it works for people from other countries).
And keep in mind that it's not an exchange platform where you transact with other people, it's an exchange where you transact with them, they have a price, you accept it or not.

I am not affiliated with them, I've just used their platform a very few times and I thought that the information may help you.

Romania? Is it available only for Romania citizens?

They have a pretty responsive support, at least during week days. Since after this question others will come (a specific country, specific papers for verification, money transfer questions, ...) I think that's best to surf there and ask them directly. It would be much more productive. They do have an English version of their website, I guess they have it like that for a reason (people from outside or Romania).
