Crypto 101: What is ShapeShift ? (Currency Exchange Service) Overview & Video (7 Mins) for New Crypto Folks.
What is ShapeShift?
Did you know that ShapeShift Technology is built into Crypto wallet tech already?
You can find it in wallets like the JAXX wallet and the Exodus wallet! Both wallets and others like them, allow you to hold and exchange MULTIPLE CRYPTO CURRENCIES inside it. Very practical and functional.
ShapeShift is a web and API platform formed in August of 2014 to provide instant Bitcoin and altcoin conversion with the maximum level of consumer protection and efficiency.
Users do not have to create accounts, deposit funds, or provide private personal information. This keeps the users safe from identity or financial theft – a critical improvement in exchange technology.
The company has a strict “No Fiat” policy, meaning it does not use banks or political currencies anywhere in its operations.
Investors in the platform: Also a godfather of crypto currency - Roger Ver, and the Digital Currency Group (Barry Silbert)

Please note -- I will have limited internet access for awhile -- so PLEASE do not be upset that I cannot reply right away, or to everyone. I am dealing with some changes, and will have limited time online and will be happy if I get a few blog posts up a week.
This has really upset some people but I do not force my opinions on others, or need to communicate every detail of my life or issues, most people do not care anyways. I invested around 10 hours or more a day on Steemit most of my first 13 mths here, I just do not have that time in my life right now, and that includes for replies and voting/curation.
I have done my best, sorry if you do not understand like some are clearly having a problem with. It's a blogging platform, and I will do my best at everything, and to keep blogging.
Carry On.

Shapeshift is a great service. However, if you plan to pay taxes in the US, make sure you write down all your transaction information as no history is provided.
Resteemed.
Awesome!
Thanks!
I try and support Steemians on twitter a lot also.
I've been sick on top of my injuries and took a bit of a twitter break a lot of the last month, starting back at it.

great piece of information
The Jaxx wallet is so unique with many features to it. I'm currently waiting on an update on shapeshift so I can take some profits on an ICO I got into, WAX.
Thanks for sharing @barrydutton. I've never heard of shapeshift in crypto market.
i hope it will bring more effectiveness to the transactions in cryptocurrency.
