Buy Bitcoin

So transwise isn't associated with Bitcoin it's just an app to do international transfers. Once you get through verification process it's simple. You find a contract on Hodl Hodl that accepts transwise then you start. BTC will get put in escrow and then you get on transwise send it to where he tells you, each contract has a chat and it's all official. Don't be spooked Hodl Hodl is great . Once you pay the person you in contract with on Hodl Hodl which you will do on transwise not Hodl Hodl then you go on Hodl Hodl and click payment completed. Feel free to ask the person your dealing with for help . Most contracts I've done they was helping explaining the small steps

I don't see transwise as a payment option using USD or my own AUD. And if it's an app it's probably on the phone? (I don't use the phone for this stuff, can't see what I'm doing, need it all in front of me on the desktop screen. Plus I'm in Oz so verification might not be simple. Also did a search for transwise and get Wise formerly known as transferwise.)

I see Wise available as a payment option though.

Any reason not to use Wise?

Wise is transwise

Makes sense, and I've been on transwise for a few years now, which helps. I've even done a couple deals on it.

I suppose escrow comes into it after a deal is struck and the seller deposits the coin and HODL confirms the escrow and amount? Then I pay on transwise and click complete on HODL. What if payment is sent on transwise but the seller says on HODL payment not received, does that happen, or what happens then?

And is there a 'best' offer, or a way to determine which is best? I see various 'Prices' with Exchange names and +% beside them, but I'm not sure what that means or how to determine what is good for me. Any guidance on that?

Do the exchanges see my personal details, name etc? Or just the seller and HODL?

Sorry about all the Q's.
