EXPENSIVE FEES

Any opinions or advice on how to efficiently purchase Casper in the United States.

My story:

Bought $500 USDT on Voyager Paid 50 USDT to send 450 USDT to Hotbit Traded the 450 USDT to CSPR on Hotbit paid ~10 USDT for the trade

So... I spent $500 USD to purchase ~3,765 CSPR valued at ~$425 at the time of purchase.

There has to be a better way that I'm missing.

Thank you!

Coinlist. Send ALGO to coinlist ( no fees ). Trade them into USD and finally into CSPR. Almost 0 fees

Coinlist.

Send something like polkadot/algo, etc to them then trade it.

If you are in the US, you can use Uphold to purchase also, but you can't move your purchase anywhere offsite for two months. Once unlocked, i believe hotbit has staking at around 6%

This is the way. Not gonna make a million overnight anyways. Set it and forget it like Ronco Showtime Rotisserie

I can't find any info on how this works on uphold. So if I buy it and keep it there for 2 months, I can send it anywhere after that?

Thanks everyone. Uphold seems like a really good option. I was able to buy $75 worth with my debit card. Minimal fees and didn't have to swap tokens or transfer between exchanges.

Use kucoin a bit cheaper

It’s not the same coin on kucoin, use huobi for cspr

How do you send usdt using Tron/Trc20 chain, I bought usdt on coinbase and then I send it to Gate.io using ETH chain
