So I own $1000 in bitcoin but I want to invest the remaining amount to accumulate a whole bitcoin. The prices fluctuates every second so how can I do this on coinbase? I believe this is called a market buy order and I've looked at the steps on how to do this but I think they're outdated or wrong.
If you trade on Coinbase, it's quite easy and you can literally buy BTC from them, they only update their prices every 5 minutes or so, and when your transaction is getting processed, it's basically set in stone (the price), and they can't change it.
They have huge, huge spreads though (something like 5%) and I would definitely recommend you to look at other options like paxful, which don't require your ID, and have only 1 percent or so via bank transfers (0.9% spread or smth, and then a 0.1% bank transfer, I believe).
