RE: VERGE (XVG) Shorter Term Update: $0.48!!
Can anyone recommend anything other than COINBASE for buying BTC? I sent some BTC to Bittrex from Coinbase and they charged me 20%! Seems a bit high. What is everyone else using?
I guess you sent a small amount of BTC, 20% is probably the transaction fees you payed to send the coins. The transaction fees are really hight for BTC now I think it is around 15 to 30 USD or so. Better to send LTC or ETH for small amount of money and then convert back to BTC. In any case these fees are not related to COINBASE.
PS: Avoid bittrex by the way, if your account is not verified you will not able to withdraw your coins. Verifying an account takes ages (for me still waiting since 2 weeks)
Log in to GDAX with your coinbase credentials. Transfer your coinbase wallets over to gdax, then from GDAX to whererever you want to go as GDAX sends coins for free. Also, make your future purchases on GDAX because you can get 0.00 transaction fees if you are patient and make use of the Maker vs. Taker fee structure there.
