I bought from Coinbase, but there is a 10 day hold on it, so it's stuck in there for that length. Considering that, I would not buy from coinbase again if there is a better option without such a long waiting period. Is there a faster and better way (besides P2P)?
Okay 10 days hold ? I would never use such things the price would ofcourse fluctuate and then you would need to consider +/- this is not how trading works.
Go for a local exchange. Try Zebpay , it was for India first but now it have started accepting customers from all over the globe I did start my crypto journey with Zebpay and it has been incredible since now I can buy and sell instantly and if it gets struck I just cancel the trade and refresh. Nothing better than that for me .
Explore more local options !! For right now I can just tell you about Zebpay since I have been using it since years still no problem their customer support is also very nice and at the same time their prices are also competitive.
( On a side note they are fighting against the Indian government in regards to banning Cryptos in India which I personally think is amazing , to hire a lawyer and to represent themselves in the court is no small feat , so I have literally a lot of respect for them for doing such things )
Try biki exchange and other exchanges around there are lots of them which have no waiting time trading is instant and without hindrance. You are the first am hearing exchange having up to 10 day waiting time.
It's 9 days hold actually, but nearly/effectively 10 days. I have 6 days left now.
The hold isn't for withdrawing to your bank account for the high 1.5% fee. It's only held for sending to another wallet or exchange. It confirmed in 1 day after asking for additional verification to withdraw back to my bank account with the second 1.5% fee (1.5% to add to coinbase from bank account too).

There are pretty exchanges that does that for first depositors becasue of their potential to scam fellow members, but this is always the case of first timers. Have used an exchange that kept my funds for upto two week before i was able to get verified for trade with members, but among this, i wouldn't encourage anyone to get into such but to use the p2p for more easier way to transact.
P2P is even a higher risk unless you know the person in real life.
Honestly there are people doing p2p in person !
