RE: How to buy bitcoin
I should have clarified, but was a bit distracted.
I use Bittrex for exchange, and Coinbase for my wallet. But, I've had trouble with both, and incorrectly attempted to transfer from my Steemit wallet to Bittrex and then to Coinbase. Needless to say, it didn't work out the way it was supposed to.
I'm still having trouble moving things from Steemit to Coinbase. I'm not sure how to do it, and all the tutorials say different things.
I think youre on the right track. To my understanding youd have to send your steem from here to your bittrex steem wallet and sell that for btc, then transfer the btc to coinbase and profit
That's what I tried doing originally, but it ended up being WAY less than I started with.
I havent done too much moving around with my crypto lately but have heard the fees to move btc right now are getting ridiculous. I wonder if that could be part of what youre experiencing? How much % of a loss are you looking at here?
Well, I sold it incorrectly, I believe. I lost quite a bit. I don't recall the exact amount. Last payout, I thought I could send it to my btc wallet for Coinbase, but ended up just sending it to a user named @btc because I did it wrong.
Ouch! Well hopefully it wasnt too bad as far as value goes. Theres many a horror story of people sending coins to wrong addresses or even the wrong wallet altogether. Did you email support? They may be able to help.
I never received a response.
I just consider it a learning opportunity, hope the guy enjoys his money, and hope to do better next time. I only sent him about $14 from here.
Wow, just saw that users wallet and saw your +14 sbd to him. Also that user has no posts so you cant really send him a message or anything to explain what happened. That blows! If its any consolation Im gonna try and write an article on here explaining how I would cash out and hopefully make it easy to follow and understand
Please tag me in a comment, so I make sure I see it.
Yeah, that really sucks. :/
