RE: Steem at 45p? Rude not to
Similar to @shanibeer, bank account > coinbase (buy etherium - takes seconds), then coinbase > gdax (same company so seconds again), send to blocktrades (about 2 minutes). The whole cycle takes less than 5 minutes.
You incur a 4% fee for buying etherium from coinbase, that's the price for speed and convenience.
I use etherium as the bitcoin transfers are really slow (or were).
Okay, I'm guessing putting gdax in the mix reduces the transaction costs a bit?
It's all superfast, though, isn't it? Lovely 😊
You can bypass the 4% charge if you use Revolut to send the cash to coinbase via a sepa transfer but it takes most of the day to get there and only works on 'working' days, not weekends.
That's how I used to do it before the banks 'allowed' us to directly connect to coinbase.
I'm not good at that, I like the five minutes done and dusted thing. I had the same problem when I looked at gdax, suddenly the process stretches out and I find it difficult (with everything else) to keep track of it.
gdax looks intimidating but its really easy when you find your way around.
Okay, perhaps we can have a skype tutorial one day: I'm a two computer person :D
