Lets get steemin (drunk) nope, tokens! yes.
Having dealt in cryptos for 4 or 5 years without exchanges, just dealing one on one with people, even down to sending motorbikes or bike parts back to the UK in exchange for cryptos direct to my nano s, I have managed to miss out the middle men, and have a healthy stock of btc, doge coin, miota, litedoge and xrp (ripple) all of which I aim to keep (for now). (to cut out paypal)
Now I have had a few fits on here(not half) and feel the need to buy some steem for fiat to up my stake, and reward the few who stuck by me with better upvotes than a naff all 1c, here is the list of exchanges I am currently signed up to, the first two I am verified on, the third I only signed up to tonight because it apparently accepts £'s. (and has steem on it)
Bittrex
coinbase
Binance.
Let me tell you why I would like to know which you use (exchange) as coinbase charges 20 euro to buy any currency, at the moment, if I buy 100 steem, it effectively costs me 20 extra steem or there about, so 20%.
I have not tried a trade yet on Binance as it is my first night, and before trading on it, I wanted to ask you guys/gals what you use, that has low fees, keep in mind, I have to be able to use £ or face a second charge over and above lets say coinbases 20 euro, the second charge is made by my bank for overseas transaction and using a different currency so two charges in 1 from the bank alone.
Bittrex to my knowledge does not accept fiat, I just looked as I write this to make sure, and I see no link.
I want to take it nice and steady and buy 100 steem or so at a time, as it is locked up for 13 weeks and that makes me a little nervous (I know I know grow a pair)
So over to you, who do you use and why? what are the pros and cons, also fees?
Having had my bank frozen a few weeks back on a bs fraud alert (proven incorrect) I want to get more cash away from the banksters, and crypto is part of my idea, I have a gold bullion account ( Iamstan :-) ) though want to further diversify, I aim to leave cryptos on as many exchanges as possible, so the (w) bankers (change the b to a w) can never do that to me again, sure I have a collection of motorbikes as my get out of jail card, I want some more get outs.
Any advice greatly appreciated, you know more than I at the end of the day, I feel like a exchange virgin now, so must start wearing white. :-).........................
Thank you kindly in advance.
