How to Buy Cryptocurrency?
There are many steps in buying cryptocurrency, but these five will get you started:
-Decide what type of currency you want to buy
-Find an exchange where people trade currencies.
-Verify your identity by providing documents like photo ID or proof of address with utility bills showing both names and addresses; this step may take days or weeks, so plan accordingly when using exchanges based outside North America if it’s necessary for purchases over USD 250 (or equivalent)
-Send funds from whatever payment method you choose to the selected exchange
-Find the currency you want to buy and trade for an amount that is within your budget, although it may be cheaper per coin if you buy more than one.
-After buying cryptocurrency, send funds from whatever payment method to a secure wallet of your choice where they will remain as long-term storage.
How to buy a Theta coin with a credit card?
-Create an account and agree to the terms of use. This will require government-issued ID verification for purchases over USD 250 (or equivalent).
-Visit your dashboard and click “Funds” then select “Deposit from Cards” on the left-hand side menu bar at the top; this is where you enter all necessary credit card information, including the type of card, expiration date, security code, etc., before clicking deposit funds or transfer funds if you want to send money via another method like a wire transfer. When it prompts you about how much to deposit into your account in US dollars ask yourself: How many coins do I want to buy? Remember, 1000 is the minimum amount.
-Once you enter how many coins you want to purchase and click “deposit” your card will be charged with that much money in USD so make sure it does not exceed the maximum limit set on your credit card before clicking deposit funds or transfer funds.
Theta coin should show up within four hours for those who are verified as well as unverified users depending on bank processing times.
What makes this different from other cryptocurrencies?
The main difference between Theta Coin and other cryptocurrencies is its focus on video streaming services like YouTube or Netflix which have a hefty bandwidth cost associated with them; if there’s no incentive given by stakeholders then the high price of these content providers will inhibit the adoption of Theta Coin.
