any Bitcoin reefers out there?

Voyager pays interest for all crypto you keep on their platform. There are minimum account requirements to receive the interest I think

It's my understanding that voyager allows ACH transfers, but kraken does not? If so, how do you fund a kraken account? Wire transfer only?

Pretty sure my bank charges for wire transfers, but ACH is free. Leaning towards voyager at this point, unless someone recommends something else for crypto trading.

Just tried signing up for Voyager but it wouldn't let me complete the signup process. Said due to the surge in signups, there's a wait list and they will contact me soon. what the heck?!?

Hopefully I have better luck with Kraken.

The problem here in New York is you can’t buy off any of the available platforms.

Kraken signup was quick and easy, but like I noted earlier, no ACH transfers and my bank charges $20 per wire transfer so still looking for other options. I may try gemini next.

yeah no ACH transfers is a real pain right ,I have spent $50 in the last 2 months just to send $$ yet another reason for block chain tech.
let us know what you find I have not used voyager or gemini.
but Kraken is supper easy to sign up there is a 72 hr hold on taking your money off the sight when 1st signing up, no big deal.

Definitely voyager. It pays interest for the coins you are keeping with their platform. Use code D0DA30 when you sign up for free Bitcoin!

FYI code did not work. I just got on the waiting list

Outside of headlines, I have no clue what digital currency even means.

Ended up signing up with Binance.
They allow ACH funding and their fees seemed better than Gemini.

I'm still on the voyager waitlist and plan on giving that a try too once approved.

For anyone interested you can use Coinbase to buy cryptos that and can transferred onto a wallet then sent to your kraken profile to buy alt coins. This is how I went about buying ada. I bought xlm on Coinbase and then sent it to my kraken account and then bought ada. Easy once you do it for the first time. I tested with $10 then proceeded from there.

here is some documentaries on block chain and bitcoin. all alt. coins are block chain and based off the concept of bitcoin. I could write a big essay on it but these videos give you a good idea.
