Any recommendations on anything apart from coinbase to buy BTC in usd? I am unable to find any platform using it. Please let me know if you guys are aware of any cheaper alternative. Want to try altcoins but looks most need BTC which in the end can only buy on coinbase. It takes higher fees and time for buying.

It states coinbase Inc so essentially the same thing as coinbase?
@D1: Don’t get how would they have lower fees if it’s in the same umbrella?

Google buying on gdax cheap alternative to coinbase

They share the same backend

OP - Coinbase is about convenience. Like one click shopping. Good for people who aren't traders and making a ton of moves, and it's a super simple platform.

GDAX is more complicated and intimidating. Better for traders or people who spend a few minutes to learn how it works.

I️ use bitstamp. The only downside is it’s transfer fee of 45 dollar. Otherwise it’s awesome. Instant transaction, and you can submit limit buy offer

Gdax or kraken. Almost free given the low commissions. User interface is slightly complicated compared to coinbase but when do consultants ever shy away from anything complicated!
