RE: An Aussie who wants to start Buying Bitcoin?

in #cryptocurrency8 years ago (edited)

hey mate, i get mine from coinbase
follow that link you will get a bonus $10
it takes a few minutes to setup though the first time
edit: i should add they have a limit of like $300

you can use cointree they have a minimum $200 but i dont think they have a max, same identification process takes few minutes
both are around the same speed, but your amount will probably dictate
also, cointree has active support if you need it

Thanks for your response, I have been hearing people complaining about coinbase, so I thought I would ask who other Aussies are using. Cheers thanks for that.

Coinbase for the most part works well, there are many . I tried Gemini but they wanted my actual bank username and password for my account, no.
Poloniex is pretty cool, joined but haven't used them yet , as far as a wallet I just use Jaxx for now, going to get probably a nano or trezor as a hard wallet later.

Thanks @buster544, have you tried coinjar?

Here in the Good ok US there are limited places and so coinbase was it.
Had a try for a small denomination to see how it goes and it went from there to the wallet took a matter of minutes. Hope this helps

Thanks mate, doing some heavy reading now, collected a lot of good info to my questions. Cheers and Thanks @buster544

yeah dude during the big surges their website goes down, it happened a couple weeks ago for almost a day, if ur gonna keep it, not a big deal, but if your trading can be a massive problem,
I don't know what the best is for trading, I hear of 2 mainly Poloniex, which I have never used and Bittrex which has been fine so far, except one complaint I have about some of their fee's

Thanks @sols, I have heard people on steemit bagging out Poloniex as well, it's a bit confusing some say they are good, some say they are crap. It just makes it hard to know which direction to go, I will take on board what your saying and just do more research. Cheers my friend.
