    Best exchange for cryptocurrency for US residents?

    Have small amount of cryptocurrency at bitstamp but the fees are atrocious. Buying one bitcoin you pay almost $500 in fees

    What are the safest exchanges for crypto with the lowest fees right now? Trying to google it is worthless, in the first list I saw coinbase at the top so I know that isn't accurate

    i use gemini and its fee is .25% base and i think you can get it lowered if you sell and buy at certain percentages of each other.

    What are you trying to do? If you have a Coinbase account then you are registered at GDAX. Buy/sell @ GDAX, if you make the market there's no fee. Otherwise fee is much smaller than Coinbase.

    open a coinbase account, deposit usd, send it to GDAX (Coinbases trading platform (same login and password)). The Fee to buy at market price is .0.25% and there is no fee if you set a limit buy because you'd be making the market. Thats usually what I do, haven't paid a fee in a while.

    ok thanks

    I already have a coinbase. Sent about 5 bitcoin through there earlier this year that I lost at the books I sent to, but I'm sure there are guys here with some true horror stories

    I realized I may have had some balances on accounts I hadn't been to for awhile so I decided to log in to all of them which I hadn't done for awhile. Turns out I had some leftovers from early this year on my blockchain account that I didn't bother with. It's worth over $500 now
