I haven't purchased something since 2012 when I bought bitcoins back then (sold them years ago) but haven't purchased anything since. I do it the easiest way, which probably costs me a little bit more in fees, but still isn't much. You can buy any of the big 4 on Coinbase, transfer them over to Cryptonator, and exchange them for Bytecoin there. Coinbase has a backlog of transactions they're working with now, so it's taking a while to transfer though. I'm waiting on one so I can get another batch of them.

Thanks to the helpful advice from @The Ghost of Randy Savage I did exactly what he mentioned and it was fairly easy after wrapping my head around the whole process. There are a number of different exchanges, but most of the other others one i looked at required all types of personal info. Coinbase lets you just sign up and then buy either Bitcoin, Bitcoin Cash, Ethereum, or Litecoin with a credit card or bank account. I personally bought Ethereum cause i liked the name and it seemed to be doing well. I also signed up for a Cryptonator account and then transferred the ethereum to a digital wallet there. Through Cryptonator you can then exchange whatever you transferred in for any number of currencies. Bytecoin is just over a cent, so i assume there is fair amount of growth potential. People are talking up Ripple, but oddly the Ripple exchange has been down for a day or two. If you use your credit card through coinbase it might get flagged by the card provider, so you might have to redo the purchase after vouching for it.

Bladewillisisdead Posted January 6, 2018 Share Posted January 6, 2018 Checked how much my Doge coins were worth (I had approx 14,000 of them) and it's up to $230. Found out a few months ago the dude who owned Dogetipbot wiped everyone's wallets. Goodbye, $200 worth of free money I could have had Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Curious as to what drew you towards Cryptonator. Altcoin exchange sites are so iffy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sidney Crosley Posted January 9, 2018 Share Posted January 9, 2018 So a friend of mine last summer was showing me a bit about how cryptocurrencies work, and sent me 0.2 Ethereum (back when it was worth about $100/ETH). Forgot about it but opened it last week to find that the amount he sent is worth about $200 or so now. So I figure I'm going to use that to play around for a bit, see where it goes.

There was a huge adjustment to just about all of them recently that made prices drop. It's a goo time to buy. Looks like they're just starting to turn up again today.

The Saint Posted January 10, 2018 Share Posted January 10, 2018 I got money in Kin, Ripple (bought in around a little over $1), and FunFair. And then Ethereum to balance it all out. Keeping it in MEW and sitting back for my own sake. A buddy of mine gives me tips and did so last year on ETH but I didn't listen cause I find the whole thing to be wicked stressful. But once I saw the money he was making, I had to bite. Luckily I did in time to see a decent profit. Maybe I'll get in on some Bytecoin too while I can since they have a secure wallet app. Can't recommend those things enough. But if anonymous crypto is the future and Bytecoin can become like Monero, I'm into it. Group Buy Guy 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Freki Posted January 10, 2018 Share Posted January 10, 2018 Sorry I'm slow on this stuff, but can you not just buy Bytecoin through Cryptonator directly without the extra transfer steps? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems like it has no place to go but up, and they're trying to get it on some of the more major exchanges, which should make it got up in price. The biggest suggestion I can make to people is to do a little research and pick a coin you believe in. That's why I went with bytecoin and ripple.

Guest Posted January 10, 2018 Share Posted January 10, 2018 i'm really against all of the 1000s of other CCs because they will just lead to a bubble. Best to stick with the top 3 or 5 CCs and ignore the rest Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stranaspank Posted January 17, 2018 Share Posted January 17, 2018 I've been buying and trading since the post-Thanksgiving fun fest, and today was pretty rough. But, I started the day off four digits in the red and now I'm back in black. If I didn't buy Tron and Litecoin at the exact wrong times I'd be faring a lot better. Riding it out to see where it all goes. Might check out Bytecoin now that it's below a penny again and Poloniex finally let me in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
