Unfortunately, BTC is pretty much the gold standard in this world. Some vendors accept other random coins from time to time (saw one that took ETH, another that took ADA, one that took LTC), but generally speaking you're gonna need BTC to do any kind of business. It's the one common denominator across the board.Any current advice for 2023?
I started using XMR but I have noticed not many vendors here accept it. XMR had smaller fees and it is a lot more anonymous.
When I have to send BTC I always get hit hard with fees. Trying to find a better place to purchase from with smaller fees.
Gonna spend around $15 loading up $1000 on Coinbase. And then you're gonna spend another $5 on each transaction.
Just cost of doing business I guess. I don't mind the tx fees. They're not too bad (it's not like it was back in the C19 boom where it would cost $20 minimum to send anything). I just hate the tax loading up funds.
I get why Binance US had to go. But why on earth did Coinbase shut down Coinbase Pro? Well, I know why. It's cause it was cheaper. All peer to peer transactions with minimal loading fees (like $5 per $1,000 loaded).
