When I use exchanges I send either ether or litecoin. Both are cheaper and faster than bitcoin.

Ethereum is not cheap anymore, most exchanges are asking you to pay 0.01 ETH for fees, that is equal to $13 at the moment, and that is HUGE.

That is why i am always trying to make withdrawals using Litecoin at the moment, they are only charging 0.001 LTC in most exchanges (about $0,25)

And it is funny, because most exchanges are accepting litecoin right now.


Honestly I rarely send bitcoin and Ethereum directly, because you know the current fee for every bitcoin transaction on most of the exchange can reach BTC0.001 ($ 11) per transaction, even c-cex asks for a fee of BTC0.002 ($ 22) for a single transaction, as well as Ethereum, so usually I use another altcoin to send my coin, sometimes I use litecoin and doge. because fee are cheap around 0.001 LTC  ($0.25) for Litecoin and 1-10 doge ($0.04) for dogecoin and ofcourse almost every exchange accept litecoin and doge

ACH takes like a week on coinbase and a wire still takes couple days when you want to use Fiat to buy BTC or ETH.

The cheapest as far as fees goes is to do the ACH transfer and wait about a week, which is terrible.
Then for the wire your bank charges you for the wire and still takes couple days to show up on Coinbase.

So, how do you guys buy your BTC and ETH so that you pay minimal fees and wait less time for fiat to arrive at your exchange?
Any other USA based exchange that is faster for fiat to show up or other ways I have no clue about?

Also, are you guys buying BTC or ETH when you want to buy Altcoins?
If you buy BTC and want to send to another exchange you end up paying a large fee sending BTC and it takes a while to arrive versus ETH which you can use for buying alt coins too,
so what is your choice for buying altcoins and sending to Binance for example? BTC or ETH

I appreciate your insight on this.
I think you can own bitcoin and ethereum in the form of direct exchange via the Kraken channel and directly buy from them bitcoin and ethereum. Kraken is a very reliable trading channel that I know, I usually buy bitcoin and their ethereum. They will assure you if your transaction is a problem, it is a very reputable channel if you are in the EU you should go to this channel to buy bitcoin and Ethereum.

you can use privat wallet ( hardware wallet ) , example using Nano S , TREZOR .
you can make a fees is cheap  but quick if confirmation on block.
on this time network ETH is verry bussy , so you must spend fees for more because ETH will be hardfork 19 th january 2018.

No way.
Now the markets are in an agiotage and the age of crypto currency has come!
All rushed to buy coins and loaded the network.

The only option is to translate everything into Litetcoin and output it.
Six confirmations in a couple of minutes, but his course is unlikely to grow much.

It is better to just wait for the recession.

Best it to just buy it from the exchange directly, like if you can deposit on kraken and directly buy from them the bitcoins or ethereum. Not sure which other trading platform offers deposits in fiat, but Kraken is the one I know that accepts fiat deposits. If you are aiming to trade then that's your best bet. Or you can also use GDAX as they accept fiat deposits and keep your crypto in their platforms for trading. Just check if it is possible with the USA, my recommendation was based on a friends of mine that are in the EU area.

send and receive money instantly, with no hidden c
For beginners you can follow bounty signatures or follow the bounty of the article at no cost, after you have a little income although you can raise your rank of being a trader, at low cost you can buy coins at a low price and after your coin ride must sell it, of course you will benefit from the trade result.
