RE: How To Buy Steem!

in #steemit6 years ago

Wow so I had a similar story! Back in December I wanted to buy. I signed on with Coinbase and did the bank transfer first. haha and it took 7 days to get my bitcoin. When I bought it, it was near 19k, when I got the bitcoin it was only worth like 13k. so I already lost like 1/3 of the value. I was like, um what did I just do?? lol now I only use the debit card option, because it buys it instantly. Before I was also doing wiretransfers from my bank to GDAX which was a lot faster but the fees were like 40 dollars. 30 for the wire transfer and 10 for GDAX. well I learned a lot early on, of what not to do. haha

Haha yeah it's interesting the things you learn when you do it, and really the information was hard to find out there of anyone else telling their experiences, so I thought it was a decent opportunity to try to help or explain it to someone else. Luckily the price didn't move much while I was waiting for the purchase to happen.

Yeah that is great. These videos are awesome. Yes you are very lucky it didn't move much, although if it went way up you would have been like score! haha
