Crypto - Starting point.

Post by The Conservative » Sun Mar 14, 2021 10:21 am

As people know I am moving, my income will stay the same, but my saving ability will increase by almost 50%...

With that being said, I am looking to diversify into crypto, as well as rare metals. I am looking for not only a starting point but a "safe" system/service that will not try to screw you over. I used to use Robinhood, but not anymore.

Coinbase is the most user friendly for folks starting out.
Gemini has lover fees.
Both are offramps, which is necessary for turning crypto back into fiat (unless you do one of the crypto credit card offers).

This link will get you started with some free crypto, if you open an account and trade:
Join coinbase for $10BTC

Yep, I get $10 BTC too.
And once you join .. you get a link to share that will let you do the same.

Pyramid scheme, bro.

I forgot who, but somebody on the dcf gave me 10 bucks worth of BTC about 10 years ago. I lost that usb key though.

I know my brother in law was given some a long time ago and can't access it now, he's sitting on 30k that he can't use.
