First crypto transfer NUKED

Never ever ever send payment directly from any US banking institution - including online payment platforms & credit cards - to your CN connect. Always go through a 3rd party wallet (Exodus or similar).

Heard. I had done all the research and guess I was just so excited my funds finally showed up I was just ready to try it out. RIP my PayPal.
 
I buy directly in Exodus. Why would you buy in coinbase and then transfer to exodus? Isn’t there a delay before you can send your crypto out if coinbase? But what advantage is it to not just buy directly in exodus?

Oh, I feel your pain.

Your accounts can be closed out if you get flagged for sending to shady wallets.

I have that same question.

If you buy in Exodus and send from Exodus it is no different then just sending from Exodus. And Exodus is a self custody wallet, they can’t close your wallet
 
I have had it with PayPal. I have had my account since 2000 and I bought some PYUSD a while back. They held it for 10 days. When they finally released it I transferred it to Coinbase, an account I've had for a year and I swapped it for USDC and bought more instantaneous. Same with Robinhood. They let me buy stock before the money transfer to my account even clears my bank. I don't even trust PayPal anymore, tbh.

I would recommend buying ETH in Venmo, then xfer to exodus and swap the majority of the ETH to USDC for stability. Eth is what you are going to want (obv can use btc or others) so just start with it to minimize exchanges/fees.
Good idea! Open to this but a little intimidated by the conversion. If I buy a certain amount of money in eth from Venmo - it then turns into a different … decimal…number… that I would then send to exodus… and then convert it back into usdc for the amount of money I need it to be … to just pay this freakin vendor already?
 
You can buy PYUSD in Venmo and then do all the rest of the steps of PYUSD to something on SOL.

You got it.

Venmo > $ > Ethereum > Exodus > Leave a little Eth, Exchange majority to USDC > Vendor

Thank you. Purchased eth. But now can’t transfer it to exodus. Assuming it’s just a hold. Praying it doesn’t fluctuate much and I have enough to cover the fees (ie: it doesn’t make me keep $25 out to fund fees) and I can cobble this and the $10 of pyusd together to send to vendor. I appreciate the advice. This has been harrowing.

Why shouldn't someone use Exodus to buy and send crypto payment? Why the need for an intermediary like Coinbase?
You need some type of "onramp".

Venmo- Had money in my Venmo account so I wanted to give their crypto buying a go. (Won't use again because of fees).

Coinbase - I've had an account for years already linked to my bank and kyc'd and lowest fees of my current options.

Buying through Exodus is actually buying through Moonpay (as I understand it) which is an extra step since I already have the above but for someone setting things up for the first time I guess the only down side is the fees.
 
Does it have to be ETH ? Do vendors take sol ? Or would I have to convert sol in exodus to USDc /t ?

I just used ETH as an example. Sorry for not clarifying that.

My recommendation would be start with the vendor, by that I mean look at what the vendor takes then work your way back so that you have to do as few swaps as possible. Because each time you swap costs you money.

Most vendors accept BTC,USDT(both erc20 and trc20),USDC.

So I know that I can get USDC for nothing (zero fees) on Coinbase, in addition I can earn some amount of interest on my USDC on Coinbase. So if using Coinbase I would be using USDC. Any gas can be exchanged on my Exodus wallet as needed with USDC.

Venmo has issues , you can only get PYUSD for stablecoins not USDC or USDT. You can't get USDT on Coinbase. Not sure about other onramps , those are the only 2 I've used so far. Kraken has less restrictions than either of the previous two.
 
So you can’t buy USDT on Coinbase?

Welp. My eth has gone down 18% since purchasing it, waiting for Venmo to release it to transfer to exodus. Really hoping it come back up to what I bought so I can hopefully have enough to cover the purchase.
