RE: Only 3 Survived The Crash / $20b Wiped Out / Bought LiteCoin at $34.88 (Market Roundup 27 Jun 2017)
Great episode Chris! I started investing in Litecoin a few weeks ago. Do you buy it directly in an exchange with fiat or do you buy first Bitcoin and then exchange it to Litecoin? I have to use $CAD and that limits me to buy Bitcoin first and then exchange it using Shapeshift.
Speaking of Shapeshift, is there a way to look at its trading charts with Coinigy or any other tool? Technically Shapeshift is an exchange but I haven't been able to find trading charts. For example if I want to compare LTC/BTC. Thanks! @marketingmonk
I bought LiteCoin with British Pounds. I do this using a debit card through either Coinbase or more recently BitPanda.
ShapeShift don't operate their own order book. I think what they do is hook into all the other exchanges.
All ShapeShift orders go through immediately, it's not like you can place an order with them which triggers at a certain price. They are not that kind of exchange :)
Thanks for the reply! I find it pretty handy that you can use your card for buying crypto. I will look into Coinbase for sure. And you are totally right about ShapeShift not letting you place orders. Thanks Chris! Have a nice day!
