How to INVEST in cryptocurrencies

Although many platforms have made a great effort to make buying any cryptocurrency easy and fast, the truth is that this is not always the case. The most popular ones, such as Bitcoin or Ethereum, can be acquired directly on multiple Exchanges and through multiple payment methods. However, to acquire less frequent cryptocurrencies, we must turn to Exchanges that do not accept FIAT money, but only accept exchange between cryptocurrencies.

How to acquire CRYPTOCURRENCIES with CREDIT CARD

Buying cryptocurrencies with a credit card is very easy. This payment method is available in many Exchanges.

Maybe the most popular of all is Coinbase, the most widespread cryptocurrency exchange in the world.

Currently, Coinbase offers Bitcoin, Bitcoin Cash, Ethereum, Ethereum Classic, Litecoin, 0x, Basic Attention Token, USD Coin, and ZCash.

Remember that Coinbase gives you €10 if you register through the following link and make a first purchase over €100.

Another international option to buy cryptocurrencies with a credit card is BitINKA. Currently, you can use BitINKA in: Argentina, Bolivia, Brazil, Chile, China, Colombia, Spain, Italy, Panama, Peru, and Portugal. The minimum amount for buying and selling Bitcoins is 0.005 Bitcoins and deposits are free.

The cryptocurrencies currently available on BitINKA are Bitcoin, Bitcoin Cash, Achain, Aurora, Birdchain, Bitcoin Gold, DASH, DigiByte, EOS, Ethereum, LinkEye, Litecoin, Nano, NEO, RChain, SelfSell Coin, Ripple, NEO Gas, SmartShare, Stealth, and Vexanium.

In case you want to acquire cryptocurrencies that are not available in the aforementioned Exchanges, you can buy cryptocurrencies with a credit card indirectly. The easiest way is to buy a more well-known cryptocurrency like BTC or ETH on a platform that accepts credit card and transfer it to an Exchange that operates with the desired cryptocurrency.

The best site to acquire these cryptocurrencies with a credit card is Coinbase. Later, you can transfer them to an Exchange, such as HitBTC or Binance, where you can exchange BTC for a wide range of cryptocurrencies.

How to acquire CRYPTOCURRENCIES through BANK TRANSFER

Buying cryptocurrencies through bank transfer is very common when it comes to cryptocurrencies.

Many current platforms allow deposit using this payment method. In addition, exchanges hardly apply fees to transfers, which are often free. The downside is that you will usually have to wait 1 or 2 days for them to verify the transfer and confirm the deposit.

Some of the platforms where it is possible to acquire cryptocurrencies by bank transfer are:

• Cryptoder, a widely used and very secure Spanish exchange for acquiring cryptocurrencies through bank transfer. Applies 0 commissions for deposit using this payment method. It currently operates with Bitcoin, Ethereum, Litecoin, Bitcoin Cash, DASH, IOTA, Ripple, Monero, NEM, CPD, NEO, Stellar, Dogecoin, NANO, Cardano, Waves, ZCash, Stratis, Qtum, Lisk, 0x, ICON, OmiseGO, and Ethereum Classic. However, Cryptoder is not an exchange, it is a broker. You cannot transfer your cryptocurrencies to a private wallet, you will only have them in Cryptoder.
• Coinbase, one of the most commonly used exchanges. It allows you to buy Bitcoin, Bitcoin Cash, Ethereum, Ethereum Classic, Litecoin, 0x, Basic Attention Token, USD Coin, and ZCash through bank transfer with a 1% fee.
• BitINKA, a widely used Peruvian exchange to buy cryptocurrencies in Latin America. In BitINKA, it is possible to directly acquire cryptocurrencies through bank transfer. Deposit fees in BitINKA are also free. It currently works with 23 of the most popular cryptocurrencies.

If once again, we do not find the cryptocurrency we are looking for in any of these exchanges, it is possible to invest in cryptocurrencies through bank transfer indirectly.

To do this, you will need to acquire a more common cryptocurrency, such as BTC or ETH, in one of the previous exchanges and transfer it to HitBTC or Binance, which allow exchanges between many more cryptocurrencies.

How to buy CRYPTOCURRENCIES with PAYPAL
