Buying in Coinbase and sending to Exodus vs. buying in Exodus

[thorien]

I did kraken to exodus and had no issues. Did have to convert my solana to BTC though it was all pretty straightforward.

It still held my USDT for 7 days…

I have been messing with this for weeks. I have tried Coinbase, Exodus and now Trust Wallet. Trust Wallet is the easiest. The “Gas” fees csn be taken right from the USDT account you are paying from. People will say it is “gassless” it is not, you just don’t have to buy separate gas, so it makes it easier. Also Trust Wallet has a lot more options for paying. Exodus uses Moonpay. Moonpay only takes your debit card or bank account for small purchases. For large purchases it makes you use Venmo or PayPal, and they both have big fees. I bought $1500 USDT on Exodus this morning, it was $150 in fess because Moonpay made me use Venmo to pay for it.

Trust Wallet is way easier and cheaper.

I am now researching Oobit to buy Crypto because it has the cheapest rates. 2% and no transfer fees and it can go right to you Trust Wallet from what I am reading..

It seems like having a vendor that isn't limited to USDT would be easier than dealing with the hassles of USDT. 2% fees being considered cheap doesn't sound like a great time to me.

My vendor also takes bitcoin, but bitcoin is way more money in fees… in fact I don’t know of any fees less than 2% except USDC from Coinbase.

Happy to report, Trust wallet is easier to use than Exodus. But it is still 4.5% to buy USDT Solana. I have got to find a cheaper way to buy USDT Solana…
