If more vendors accepted Bitcoin, and more members would learn to use it, there wouldn't be any issues with payment. Money transfer companies are all horse shit.

@never2many well, if your wallet is still on Coinbase I would say yes as that wallet is hosted by coinbase. You need to transfer those funds to another wallet away from Coinbase. Just my opinion.

For those that would like a better understanding and how it works, watch this...

Welcome @Bren45 ...Enjoy!

@Stas56 Well in that case, you're probably just gonna have to get them from your favorite on-line exchange. Good Luck! 

@Joshua55 what wallet are you using?

@Joshua55 It depends on the machine and the fees of that machine & rates of transfer of the exchange. There are about four different makes of those machines so you have to check the fees & rates imposed. The one by me has rates of 6.9 & 7% and most of that goes to the miners &amp...

@Stas56 I use two wallets but mostly Electrum. As for the exchange, I don't really buy on-line, don't care for them, they all want too much info (expected) for one thing and rates do vary so you have to kinda search around. Yeah, I'd stay away from coinbase they are the largest and their fees...

Welcome @Marlena good luck & enjoy!

Hey @mamirliis welcome aboard!

@cRox21 welcome aboard! As for bitcoin it's not as hard as many may think once you get the hang of it. You can use the Opera browser which has a VPN built in if you want to ease your mind and for  encrypting email, try protonmail. There ya go a few suggestions. Good Luck!

Yeah, it can be confusing at first but once you get the hang of it, it all comes together and ain't bad.

@Stas56 You should be able to see the amount you have in fiat (your local currency) USD or whatever of BTC in your wallet, it will be shown in your balance. Also, when you go to send it should show you balance amount in both BTC & fiat. When you send just use the correct amount of fiat and...

@sciatic are there any Bitcoin ATM's anywhere near you? They're the best way to buy coins without much hassle. They take cash! Google Bitcoin ATM near you and see what turns up.

Welcome @Ringo , hope you found what you're looking for.

Hi @Mera and welcome to DBG! You ask if what you said makes sense...well, depends on anyone's state of mind I guess but yeah I'd say so. Enjoy!

@Lemur88 Yeah I'm here almost everyday reading about other peoples experiences and learning.

@missy1996 , I want to mention a few things about the bitcoin atm. They aren't as confusing as you might think and pretty easy to use. For one thing, they take cash and can be more anonymous than buying coin on-line thru am exchange with a CC card. With some machines, if you keep your purchases...

@Lemur88 It's ironic you are addicted to something that may help others deal with addiction. But I agree, this forum can be addicting & helpful in so many ways. If it gives you what you crave, do you really want it to end? Probably not, so enjoy!

Hi @Harbin welcome to DBG! Hope you find what you came here for...enjoy!
