    Help cashing out BTC from Binance US.

    On Binance USA (I was dumb to use Binance) I put 20k USD into BTC about 8 months ago. It's my 17 & 18 year old's piggy bank. Now it's up to 46K USD and I want to pull it out and give it to them to help with their college expenses. I'm reading up on it. I should convert to USDT, then send to Coinbase, then I can withdraw it? Does this sound like a plan? I also read using a non Ethereum network for the transfer will save money? My banks don't support crypto, but I do have PayPal if that is helpful. Thanks for any help!

    Crypto Wallets - Spreadsheet

    Hi Everyone,

    I am a newly licensed CPA and I have been playing around with a few crypto transaction trackers. I wanted to ask if anyone knows where to find some online wallets that can be exported to API and CSV format so I can practice reconciling and hopefully be able to help others with their crypto taxes in the future.

    Public and private key in my notes but no idea what it could be

    So I stumbled upon this note today that I wrote a while back, I quess around around 2017 or so. The note says "Shift" at the top and has a public key, 12 word seed thing, and two private keys.

    I can't find anything online; no cryptos called Shift. Maybe it doesn't exist anymore. Maybe it isn't actually called Shift as I've rewritten and reorganized my notes a few times since and may have mixed things up.

    Is there a way I can check the public address to see what's on there? The problem is I have no idea what block chain it's on. Or could I try a few hot wallets with the 12 word seed and see if any of them can 'connect'. I've kind of forgotten how all this stuff works so maybe that's not the right way to go about it.

    If not, no worries - it was probably a small amount.

    Thanks.

    Trying to send USDT, but I need a working platform.

    Good morning,

    I'm trying to send money to a friend overseas. My friend uses USDT for personal use/trading. I need a platform that works properly to send it. I tried using coinbase, but I get an error when I scan her QR code address. I also attempted to use Trust Wallet. This worked the first time(I sent $10 as a test), but every time after, it gave me an error.

    I also attempted to use a few other websites(like Binabnce) but they were banned in the US.

    Could someone please recommend a good app/platform for sending this particular crypto?

    Advice on transferring USDT to USD

    I'm a crypto "virgin" hence my queries.

    I have a wallet @ Virexstack which holds over 200,000USDT

    The only reason I have that wallet is that my client insisted on paying in crypto and suggested that I open a wallet with Virexstack

    I wish to convert that to USD.

    What I have found is that:

    • there is a minimum transfer of 50,000 USDT
    • when I try to make the transfer I can't as "you don't have enough TRX to cover the network fees"
    • Virexstack's Live Chat responded to a question of how much TRX I need to transfer minimum amount "You need a minimum balance of 6000 USD of TRX"

    Some questions

    • 6000USD of TRX seems to me to be an exorbitant cost to convert 50,000 USDT - surely something has been lost in translation - what would one expect to pay in transfer fees for a conversion of this 50000USDT to USD?
    • Can one convert USDT to TRX to cover this fee without a conversion cost as I'm reluctant to pay $$ to Virexstack in case there is a scam at foot.
    • Instead of using Virexstack to convert would it be better to transfer the funds to an exchange to get a better conversion rate OR would that just involve 2 sets of "fees"?

    Any advice would be appreciated

    Bought the wrong SWFTC up $600k but can’t sell

    Hi all, as the title implies. I put up a small initial investment into Swiftcoin on CB wallet BUT it was the wrong swiftcoin . I bought into one that was .20c and it dumped down to less than a penny. But for some reason the balance is consistently rising? What have I gotten myself into ? I’ll try to post a pic in the comments.

    Basically, I'm an idiot.

    I have my words for my wallet but can't for the life of me remember where/what platform I bought through. Is there a way to figure it out? Or could you tell me like, the top 5 platforms over the last few years so I can give those a go? I remember thinking about how I should write down where I bought so that I could go back but I'm sure in the moment I was *very* confident it would be fine haha so dumb.

    Help with crypto

    Hello,

    I want to buy some unique delisted Steam games from a seller but he only accepts crypto. He gave me his wallet and I need to send money there (200$). What is the best way to do it? I got Paypal and Mastercard and I'm from Poland if that changes anything. I was thinking about USDT cause it seems to have the most stable value. He is a legit trader with over 17k possitive reviews from buyers so scam is not possible. How can I do it fast, safe and possibly with low fees?

    Looking for help from experienced crypto traders.

    Hello everyone,

    I'm primarily trade in indian stock market, index options. But for the past few months there have been continuous changes in the SEBI (Indian stock market regulatory body) rules such as changes in lot size, changes in expiry, and premiums. As a result, the market has been extremely unstable, not following the set ups, being either too volatile or too stagnant. It's gotten very tough to maintain discipline and follow set up blindly without biases.

    Hence, I've decided to venture into crypto market till the indian options stabilize a little.

    I was hoping I could talk to an experienced crypto trader to gain insight and share knowledge. I do not have trouble building trading psychology, I'd like to talk about technicals, stategies, risk-reward, etc.

    Looking forward to any kind of help, advice, suggestions, etc.

    Thanks.

    What does “take some gains/wins” mean?

    Hello to the experienced, competent and educated financial industry people,

    What does “take some wins” mean on trading?

    Let’s say someone invested 1000 coins worth 1000 USD, and had 50% gains in x amount of time. Now it’s worth 1500 usd for 1000 coins (which is 1.5 usd per coin).

    Should said person, take out a 500 usd win/gain, and leave the original 1000 usd investment in account, wouldn’t that 1000 usd only have ~666 coins?

    1. Correct me if math is wrong
    2. Is that what taking wins/gains simply mean?

    I appreciate your expert opinion.

    Thanks :)

    I need a debit/credit card without KYC, what are my options?

    My bank just said "Hey, no credit card for you" because my residency doesn't allow for it lol, nice. I don't have any other options but i need to buy things online.

    Also can't really use KYC cards because none would be available for me (not going to go into detail why)

    thanks in advance :)

    Advice needed for my dad who wants to get crypto

    So, my dad wants to get into crypto and wants me to look into some legit platforms. I told him to wait until I check into it before you sign up for anything because there are tons of scamming platforms (he already thought Elon Musk was messaging him. I was like absolutely not). So I know Robin hood and coinbase are legit. I have both but I heard Robin hood isn't the best because it's not a direct wallet. For me, it's fine because I don't have that much money. However, my dad does have a big amount he wants to stick into this. So, what crypto platforms do you recommend? I know he could still definitely do Robin hood and coinbase but want to see if you all have suggestions for better options.

    Lost Wrapped BTC?

    I had some wrapped Bitcoin on an exchange and have just got hold of my non-custodial wallet.

    Did some test transactions first and it all transferred correctly. Then transferred all of my other crypto which went through fine. But my wrapped Bitcoin hasn’t showed up in my wallet…

    The transaction has gone through and I can see it was sent to the correct address. I’m wondering if wrapped Bitcoin takes a while to transfer?

    If anyone could offer some advice I would appreciate it 😵
