RE: Life with Girlfriend - Quotes from the Trenches - Ep. 2 - Learning Crypto
Was there a reason she went from ETH > BTC > STEEM? Assuming that you thought you could buy STEEM with ETH until you got into Bittrex to see it's only possible via BTC? I'm sure you know, but you could also use blocktrades via steemit to go from ETH in Coinbase to STEEM directly shen the price is right, which might save on a few extra transfer and conversion fees. Blocktrades can have a premium at times, but it does save some hassle.
Yeah, that definitely would've been an option if you're looking for less hassle and don't mind the premium, but ETH transfers are only a couple cents right now and once you're in Bittrex it's easy to move into BTC and then put in the order for Steem at a support level that will end up getting you the most bang for your buck. It helps her learn the process and how the markets work too, which is a plus.
