The thing about my situation is I don't really want to sell the altcoin that i have. Its an ETH coin. But since people say if i keep it and send it to my nano ledger... well im going to pay around 25 dollars the next time i want to move it to an exchange. Is that accurate? But my other concern is many of the exchanges I could trade this altcoin... im country restricted. So wouldn't this be another reason to not with this altcoin?
You only need to pay for gas fees when moving ETH/ERC20 tokens from an ETH wallet to an exchange. Whereas fees range from $2 to around $20 depending on how congested the mempool is.
If you're country restricted, then you could simply use the likes of UniSwap and SushiSwap. Though expect exchange fees to be more expensive since we're talking about on-chain DEX exchanges here.
People also mention about just trading it all for BNB. Well the first thing is BNB isn't stable like btc. I mean... i rather have btc than bnb. The other thing is where can I even sell bnb if im a us citizen but in a restricted state? I cannot use Binance.com... nor binance.us due to the state where im from. So would this be another reason to not hold BNB? Or is this not an issue for people? Like imagine you cannot sell a coin because the exchanges that allow you to trade it... you are country restricted. What do you do then?
You can sell to other people in a peer-to-peer manner, but you'd have to find a buyer/seller that's actually not a scammer.
But seriously mate. If you really want BTC, then just pay for the freakin transaction fee LOL. You're honestly just better off paying the fee rather than wasting precious time thinking of what to do. You could've spent the time doing something productive instead, probably something that could earn you an easy $20 so you wouldn't have problems with the withdrawal fees. 🤷♂️
