How to Trade Crypto Currency For Free - on Uphold

I have been trading crypto currency on a platform named Uphold.com. Initially, I signed up for Brave Publishers' rewards program that compensates an individual with free crypto currency, for displaying advertisements in Brave web browser. However, in order for you to access your Basic Access Token currency, you must either have a Gemini or Uphold account.

I will be providing instructions so that you can learn how to trade for free crypto currency on Uphold.com. For now I am not charged any fees for trading from my United States Dollar Uphold.com card. This could change in the future.

I receive my Brave Rewards compensation in my United States Dollar card in my Uphold.com account. You want to first obviously log into your Uphold account. Then you want to switch to the new Uphold interface.

At the top of the old interface you will see this message verbatim "Uphold just got better! 0% trading commissions, 0% deposit/withdrawal fees, and 100% easier to use". Now click on the "Try now" button next to the previous message. You will be taken to the new Uphold interface.

In the new interface dashboard, on the left hand side you will notice your watchlist. In the middle you will notice your balance and portfolio. On the right hand side is actually your trading platform.

In order to perform a free trade, you will want to select "Transact". Transact is usually the default tab setting. Now under "From" you will want to select "US Dollar" also listed as "USD".

Your US Dollar USD card should have a balance. Click on your "US Dollar" card so that it is selected. Now you will be able to choose how much of your US Dollar card balance to use.

You can select from 25 percent, 50 percent, 75 percent or I think "Use my entire balance". Although on my computer this last selection cuts off and only displays "Use my". When I choose "Use my", it automatically selects and uses my entire US Dollar card balance.

I never change anything in the middle box. The third box from the top titled "To" allows you to select the crypto currency you want to trade for. As long as you select a crypto currency or utility token you will not be charged any fees.

Although this could certainly change in the future. Click on "To" to view a list of My accounts, Banks, Cryptocurrencies, Utility tokens, etc. You will see a "Preview trade" button once you make a selection.

When you preview your trade you will then be able to view any charges. I have made quite a few trades from my US Dollar card for cryptocurrencies and utility tokens without any fees. If you see any fees it is possible that Uphold changed their fee structure or you picked a metal, national currency, etc. that institutes fees.

Also, there is a link titled "Learn more about how our pricing works" right above that preview trade button. This will take you to Uphold.com's fees page.  Then you may or may not see an important disclaimer.

If you see an important disclaimer, you can click on "I agree" to continue completing your trade or cancel. I would highly recommend reading over any disclaimers, especially if you are new to trading on Uphold.com. On the next screen you will see a "Confirm trade" button.

Also, above that confirm trade button you will see a "Note" box. You can enter in a note pertaining to your trade. This note will appear I believe in an email confirmation message and in your trading history for this transaction.

I enter in the date of my trades in this note box so that if I go back and view past transactions, I know what exact date that trade occurred. The note box is optional. When you click on confirm trade button, you will see a progress indicator, and then on the right hand side the trading screen refreshes back to the default options.

You will see the "Anything to Anthing" tool. I would highly recommend that you read over Uphold.com's trading fees before your first trade. Some of these crypto currency trading platforms will fleece you with all different types of trading fees.

One more caveat emptor. When you want to withdraw your earnings from your Uphold account, then you will start being charged. Any external withdrawal will require a fee.

Depending on the type of withdrawal, you will be charged a fee(s). For example withdrawing to an externally linked checking account, will come with a transaction fee.

00:01

i wanted to record this video showing

00:02

you how to trade on uphold

00:05

i became aware of uphold which is a

00:08

cryptocurrency trading platform because

00:11

i use brave web browser and i received

00:14

free basics access tokens

00:18

from brave publishers for free

00:20

for

00:22

allowing advertisements to display in

00:24

the web browser so quickly

00:26

first you're gonna want a

00:28

uphold.com account then you're going to

00:31

want to login to uphold now you want to

00:33

use your their new

00:38

interface

00:40

this video is not of their older

00:42

interface the interface is going to look

00:44

just like this if you're using their new

00:47

interface

00:50

on the left hand side you've got your

00:52

watch list in the middle you've got your

00:53

balance and you've got your portfolio on

00:56

the right hand side is where you trade

00:58

now i just noticed when i logged in

01:00

today that uphold is going to

01:03

provide staking want to earn up to 10

01:06

and a half percent yearly

01:07

so that's something new that might be a

01:09

future video that i record anyways so

01:11

let's cut to the chase i just received

01:13

about a dollar and i'm not going to

01:16

digress about the disaster i've had with

01:18

brave publishers receiving compensation

01:21

they owe me what 32

01:24

basic access tokens for whatever reason

01:26

they gave me like a dollar

01:28

in us dollars worth which is a little

01:31

less than

01:32

one basic access token so i'm going to

01:34

show you how to trade quickly now this

01:36

is for for crypto to crypto on on uphold

01:41

they don't charge you if you're trading

01:43

from one crypto which they consider

01:46

basics access token as crypto even

01:49

though technically it's a utility token

01:52

for free if it if you're trading from

01:54

one to another

01:56

if you are trying to withdraw

02:00

if you're trying to convert

02:01

cryptocurrency or even a utility token

02:03

like basics access token

02:06

they charge fees and anytime that you

02:09

watch any video on the internet you

02:11

should probably always verify on your

02:14

own if you're an uphold account owner

02:16

you've never traded don't just take my

02:19

you know advice i never give out advice

02:22

you should probably want to be curious

02:24

enough and verify things on your own so

02:26

that way you don't lose money

02:28

some of some of these platforms are

02:32

just greedy as [ __ ] and they will charge

02:35

you high mining fees

02:37

okay

02:38

now i've traded before and they've never

02:40

charged me

02:41

so on the right hand side anything to

02:43

anything you can trade anything to

02:46

anything as long as the uphold platform

02:49

supports it so what i'm going to do is

02:51

click on from which at now zero and in

02:54

the drop down field i'm going to choose

02:56

the top one

02:59

and it's the usd card i tried to find

03:02

more information on uphold support

03:05

website about their definition of usd

03:07

card i couldn't find much from my

03:09

understanding it may be a technically a

03:13

crypto wallet it may not be

03:15

however on their platform the usd card

03:18

stands for united states dollar

03:21

card

03:25

and it is exclusive

03:27

to their platform

03:29

you know i'm saying

03:31

a lot of these trading platforms they

03:33

they will have their own cards which are

03:35

they're basically virtual cards where

03:38

they store

03:39

an amount for example

03:41

right below you might be able to see did

03:43

you bite that if i were to click on that

03:45

which i'm not going to that would be a

03:47

separate digi byte card on the upload

03:50

platform

03:51

it is not

03:52

for example the united states dollar

03:54

card it is not real money

03:57

you know what i'm saying

04:00

that's about the best i can explain i'm

04:02

going to click on that i have a dollar

04:04

18.

04:05

you know what i'm saying it's all good

04:07

what i'm going to do

04:09

is i'm i don't want you to see anything

04:11

below there that's why i'm not clicking

04:13

on this watch quick tour because there's

04:16

certain information i don't want you to

04:17

see

04:20

you can see my balance i don't care

04:22

about that you can see part of my

04:23

portfolio you can see my watch list i

04:25

don't give a [ __ ] about that

04:27

all right so what i'm going to do is i'm

04:30

you can choose in percentage or you can

04:32

25 50 75

04:35

you could even type in a number

04:37

i could type in 0.99 or what i could do

04:40

i think if i click on this it'll use it

04:42

all

04:44

yes use

04:46

and it's cut off

04:49

i'm trying to remember what it use

04:54

the majority or whatever whatever it is

04:56

when i click on that it feel it uses all

04:59

of the available funds in the usd card

05:04

now

05:06

so what i'm doing

05:07

is when i receive compensation from

05:09

brave publishers for allowing

05:11

advertisements to display in brave web

05:14

browser

05:15

they transfer it

05:18

to my

05:20

united states dollar card on uphold from

05:24

there i can then

05:27

use those funds to

05:29

obtain other cryptocurrency or utility

05:32

tokens for free they don't charge me

05:35

anything

05:36

now i'm gonna scroll down

05:38

and i'm not sure how i'm gonna i'm gonna

05:44

how i'm gonna

05:45

do this i don't want you to see what's

05:47

behind because i've already done this

05:49

let me let me think i'm going to

05:52

transition and then i may have to just

05:55

submit the trade you know what i'm

05:56

saying and i'll try to describe it the

05:58

best i can ah no no no

06:00

security including cryptocurrency is

06:03

extremely important

06:04

you don't necessarily want people to

06:06

obtain

06:08

certain information you're i'm saying

06:12

okay i i can't can i scroll will it

06:15

scroll no

06:17

06:40

drop down

06:42

06:51

information yes

06:53

it's i'm not going to tell you

06:55

what it shows

06:57

on screen

06:59

it shows certain information that i

07:02

don't want you to know

07:03

on these platforms you can link credit

07:06

cards debit cards bank account

07:09

information you can link

07:12

bank accounts so that you can transfer

07:14

funds that's as much as i'm going to

07:16

divulge

07:17

all right i'm going to have to make the

07:19

trade and i'm not going to screen

07:21

capture because no

07:23

example did you buy xlm doge xrp brave

08:54

basics access token they're going to be

08:57

under my accounts at the top you just

08:58

click on one and that tells the system

09:01

that you want to trade for that

09:04

then they show you cryptocurrencies

09:06

below that

09:07

it says bitcoin xrp i already have xrp i

09:10

do not have any bitcoin i do not have

09:12

any ether i'm going to click on show

09:14

more and hopefully al gore is yes algor

09:17

land right now is a dollar 39

09:21

it's a little high the other

09:23

day

09:24

it was a

09:25

a dollar eighteen i think so it's gone

09:27

up but now today has gone down anyways

09:29

i'm gonna click on that so you just

09:31

click on the

09:33

utility token or the cryptocurrency that

09:35

you want to trade now i think i can show

09:38

you this

09:43

alright so i chose the usd card

09:47

and i chose the entire balance

09:50

and then it fills in the middle for you

09:52

you don't as long as you click on choose

09:55

balance or as long as you type in an

09:57

amount

09:58

i usually don't [ __ ] with this middle

10:00

box

10:01

then you choose two so you're you're

10:04

trading from the usd u.s dollar card to

10:07

the cryptocurrency or the utility token

10:10

i only will receive 0.83772786

10:14

alger land but that's fine this is just

10:16

a preview this is just

10:20

this is an excellent example to show you

10:22

how to trade on uphold

10:24

and then it shows you

10:26

what the amount would

10:28

be for

10:29

one algo

10:31

which is technically a cryptocurrency i

10:33

think alco is similar to ripple and

10:36

ethereum it's basically a transaction

10:39

system for cryptocurrency

10:41

it would be a dollar forty all right now

10:45

then i'm going to transition and i'm

10:46

going to

10:47

click on preview

10:49

first

10:50

and i will decide whether or not i want

10:52

to screen capture it

10:55

there's a disclaimer

10:58

and

10:59

i'll show you the disclaimer before i

11:01

click on i agree

11:05

when you purchase or hold algo which

11:07

stands for algo

11:11

rand i think

11:13

on the uphold platform you will not

11:15

receive any proof of state rewards from

11:17

the algo network

11:19

should uphold receive any

11:21

proof of stake rewards based on algo

11:24

held on the uphill platform they will

11:26

become the sole

11:27

property of uphold okay well i just

11:29

learned something i'm not an expert

11:32

my limited knowledge of staking is

11:35

basically it's kind of a way to it's

11:38

kind of like similar to dividends in

11:40

stocks if you've ever purchased stocks

11:43

some of them will pay you a dividend

11:45

every month or quarterly or whatever the

11:47

rules are if you hold on to that stock

11:52

cryptocurrencies are similar not all of

11:54

them provided some of them do some of

11:56

them don't there is a term called

11:58

hodling but when it comes to staking

12:02

like up here it says staking is coming

12:04

to uphold want to earn up to 10.5 yearly

12:07

on your crypto

12:08

in order to receive that there's going

12:10

to be rules it depends on the

12:12

cryptocurrency or the utility token

12:14

it may they only may pay you once a

12:16

month once once a year whatever however

12:19

you have to

12:20

first obtain that cryptocurrency and

12:23

then you have to keep it you have to

12:24

hold on to it you can't keep trading it

12:27

you know what i'm saying you have to

12:29

hold on to it and they will pay you a

12:32

annual percentage yield

12:34

however

12:35

on uphold

12:37

i cannot receive that stake so that kind

12:40

of sucks but it's it's all good

12:43

um there could be other platforms that

12:45

you would receive staking but this is a

12:48

mistaking video i'm going to click on i

12:50

agree but i'm going to transition

12:51

because there might be information that

12:53

i don't want you to see

12:58

okay now i can

13:01

i can show you this i should be able to

13:03

show you this i did not want you to see

13:05

that first screen because like i just

13:07

warned you

13:10

you don't necessarily want people to

13:12

obtain some of your

13:14

account information do you

13:16

why would you want to do that

13:18

it's like giving people your password or

13:20

or it's like typing in your phone number

13:22

on facebook

13:24

every time i see that i cringe

13:26

people actually

13:28

type in their real telephone number on

13:30

facebook or they type in their real

13:32

email address or they type in their it's

13:35

like what the [ __ ] are you doing you

13:37

might want to study social engineering

13:40

and and then i will not use the h word

13:44

circumvention

13:46

circumvention you know i'm saying you

13:48

might want to take a big intercourse on

13:52

computer security

13:54

how do you secure your online account

13:57

how do you keep people from not

14:00

logging into your facebook account

14:01

without your knowledge you know what i'm

14:03

saying and i'm being serious

14:10

okay so it says here transaction united

14:13

states dollar card to algo rand

14:16

from your united states

14:19

dollar card but i stipulated at the

14:21

beginning of this video it is not real

14:24

currency

14:25

it is just a virtual card that uphold

14:28

uses to store the funds that i receive

14:31

from brave publishers from there i can

14:33

trade it for cryptocurrency

14:36

however that is not the same as

14:38

withdrawing real money that's an entire

14:40

different subject that's an entire

14:42

different video all right

14:44

and then it tells you to your algo

14:46

account so i will now have an another

14:49

virtual card on uphold

14:51

called algocard

14:53

i'm going to receive

14:57

seven 0.8355282577 zero one seven four

14:59

seven five hundred algo

15:02

the market rate right now it just

15:04

increased as literally as i was as i was

15:07

on screen one algo now is worth one

15:10

dollar forty 41 cents and and you know

15:13

it goes on a dollar forty one zero nine

15:15

four

15:16

so on the left hand side is the crypto

15:19

currency value

15:20

on the right hand side is the us dollar

15:22

value and then i i usually put in a note

15:26

so let me let me

15:29

i think i usually type in the

15:32

the

15:35

the utility token or the cryptocurrency

15:37

and then the date that's just so that i

15:39

keep a record of it

15:42

and the date

15:45

so i'm almost done with this video you

15:47

probably already left and i'll give [ __ ]

15:51

and then

15:53

oops

15:58

you do not have to enter in a note but

16:00

you certainly can

16:08

this is just a note for my personal

16:09

records in case i ever to need to look

16:11

up this transaction it's another way for

16:13

me to go back and study and find out how

16:17

much did i pay for that transaction how

16:18

many dollars that has been how many l

16:21

did i receive what and to me one of the

16:23

more important

16:25

abstract statistics is the value

16:29

so that way i can i can try to track and

16:32

see how much money i i'm earning

16:35

or profiting

16:37

trading all right

16:39

and then now i'm going to

16:41

transition because i'm not sure what

16:42

shows up i'm going to click on the

16:44

confirm trade but i'm not sure if

16:46

there's it shows

16:48

i don't trade that often so

16:50

so click on the clean green confirm

16:53

trade

16:54

and then you'll see the uphold oh then

16:56

you'll see a circle okay then it takes

16:58

you back and i'll describe what happened

17:01

i clicked on confirm trade it showed me

17:04

the uphold

17:05

logo which is this i don't know balloon

17:08

and it just there was a

17:10

progress indicator it only showed up for

17:12

a second or two it didn't show me any

17:14

other information

17:16

and then it took me back to the

17:21

dashboard

17:22

so that's it

17:24

it's really not that difficult you know

17:26

i'm saying

17:29

you know but hopefully this helped

17:31

anybody that has never tried an uphold

17:33

and whole and like i stipulated earlier

17:35

this i'm not a expert

17:38

and

17:39

you should always always verify

17:41

whether somebody is telling the truth or

17:43

not because there's a lot of scammer the

17:46

youtube technology shills are just

17:49

abhorrent

17:50

they're so busy discussing politics or

17:54

religion or they're trying to sell you a

17:56

[ __ ] coffee mug or a stupid [ __ ]

17:59

t-shirt with their

18:01

picture their face on it because they're

18:03

that narcissistic

18:05

you just want to understand what you're

18:08

doing

18:09

because some of these trading platforms

18:11

and as an example ethereum they charge

18:15

really high mining fees

18:18

uphold as of now as of the time of this

18:21

video creation they may change in the

18:22

future for now

18:25

you can trade anything to anything for

18:27

free

18:28

that does not mean that you can convert

18:32

cryptocurrency or a utility token to

18:36

united states dollars for free no they

18:39

charge

18:40

a

18:42

a conversion fee for that

18:44

that could be a future video so far i

18:46

haven't cashed out but what i do want to

18:48

show you is my balance i started with

18:50

nothing

18:51

i started receiving free cryptocurrency

18:54

from the basic access token from

18:57

allowing advertisements

18:59

in the brave web browser

19:01

and that's how i started this balance up

19:04

here last year it was up to 1200 i

19:06

almost decided to cash out

19:09

but i

19:11

i just decided to test it tanked down to

19:13

about

19:14

600

19:15

and now it's at 400

19:18

and it it hasn't really increased much

19:21

in the last six months

19:22

what else can i tell you so i started

19:25

from zero and then i know brave

19:28

publishers have been a disaster

19:30

their web browser updates keeps [ __ ]

19:33

up my brave wallet

19:34

and i record multiple videos

19:38

i want to digress about re-verifying

19:40

while it's a total disaster my point is

19:42

is that

19:44

they quit compensating me last year for

19:46

like six months and i i bailed on them i

19:48

said [ __ ] this if you're not going to

19:50

compensate me the way you

19:53

promised and [ __ ] you

19:55

i received an email like six months

19:57

later claiming that brave publishers

19:59

deposited some money into my upload

20:01

account i'm like what the [ __ ] just just

20:04

like yesterday i noticed that they yeah

20:06

they sent me an email saying that they

20:08

deposited a dollar and 18 into my uphold

20:10

account i'm like what the [ __ ] you

20:12

[ __ ] haven't paid me in like

20:13

two or three months and all of a sudden

20:15

you're paying me even though my wallet

20:17

is still not verified and they owe me

20:19

about 32 basic access tokens anyways

20:27

at last year it was worth i logged in

20:30

for like the first time six months and i

20:31

noticed that my balance is worth i'm

20:34

talking about my dollar value for the

20:37

basic access token when i first started

20:39

basic access token was only worth about

20:41

four cents but it had

20:44

increased to over a dollar and i had it

20:47

quite a i had what 70 or 100 basic

20:50

access tokens

20:51

and it was worth about 250. i took that

20:54

to in us dollars i took the 250

20:58

and then i started trading i traded for

21:02

xlm

21:03

i traded for doge i traded for digibyte

21:07

i traded for xrp

21:09

and i and i just now this is the first

21:11

time i ever traded for algo

21:13

and guess what

21:15

sure enough it just went down it's it's

21:18

only now worth a dollar 16.

21:21

and then i still

21:22

have some brave

21:24

access tokens i have 70 of them left but

21:27

so

21:28

and none of this has cost me anything

21:31

because the trades are free for now but

21:33

that could change the future now if i

21:35

were to withdraw this money to like a

21:37

checking account they i don't know what

21:39

they charge but they do charge and so

21:41

far i've not

21:42

cashed out yet that may be a future

21:44

video this video is way too long already

21:48

adios

21:51

i am back i wanted to show you and try

21:53

to prove to you that i think it most

21:55

likely uphold

21:57

is free trades

21:59

now this is

22:00

your dashboard when you log into the old

22:03

uphold dashboard the old version of

22:06

uphold not the one that i use to

22:11

trade in my

22:13

previous portion of this video it says

22:15

uphold just got better zero percent

22:17

trading commissions

22:19

zero percent deposit withdrawal fees and

22:21

100 easier to use

22:23

try now if you click on try now it takes

22:25

you to the new uphold

22:27

interface

22:29

let me close that and i didn't want you

22:32

to see some of my dashboards so i

22:36

minimized my web browser so now let me

22:39

make it larger

22:41

and okay that's captured why the [ __ ]

22:43

isn't it

22:44

for oh

22:46

how about this

22:48

all right

22:49

now i found two pages

22:52

uphold pricing policy service fees

22:55

uphold is not a free platform you charge

22:57

united kingdom and your customers are

22:59

spread for buying and selling

23:00

cryptocurrencies however they don't

23:02

stipulate the united states

23:05

i'm in the united states currently so

23:08

i don't get charged i and then they also

23:12

claim that

23:14

when you preview the trade

23:16

they tell you what your charge is going

23:18

to be and no charge has ever showed up

23:20

during my trade earlier in this video

23:24

i don't need to worry about that what

23:26

else fiat currencies united states side

23:28

it wasn't a fiat currency

23:32

general notes

23:33

right here unlike many platforms our

23:36

prices are locked in pre-trade and we

23:38

don't add hidden fees between preview

23:41

and transact the price you see before

23:43

your trade is the price you pay when you

23:45

trade

23:49

please check the rate you're getting on

23:50

the preview page when i showed you the

23:52

preview it did not stipulate there were

23:54

any charges no fees no nothing only

23:57

confirm your transaction if you're happy

23:59

with the rate and accept the trade

24:01

okay we charge zero percent deposit fees

24:05

zero percent withdrawal fees zero

24:07

percent trading commissions but we do

24:09

charge the spreads above in every trade

24:11

i went over the spreads

24:14

they were not

24:16

inclusive of the united states

24:18

now anything else i wanted to show you

24:21

[Music]

24:23

yeah to me this is all by design these

24:26

trading platforms

24:28

intentionally confuse you they

24:30

intentionally have fine print

24:33

they intentionally

24:34

are

24:36

difficult to find out like i

24:39

could not find any kind of article

24:40

written explaining what the united

24:43

states dollar card was

24:45

that i traded out of

24:48

nowhere on their [ __ ]

24:50

support website

24:54

but my experience is that it's just a

24:56

virtual card

24:59

that whenever brave publishers deposits

25:02

in my compensation they deposit it into

25:04

that card

25:06

from there then i can

25:08

trade for crypto currencies

25:11

and i've never been charged anything but

25:13

that could change in the future

25:15

okay now i found this other page so some

25:17

more confusion this is all by design

25:20

these crooked corrupt criminal

25:22

corporations the billion dollar trillion

25:24

dollar corporations they

25:27

a high percentage of the time

25:29

they conduct themselves this way it's by

25:31

design it has to be intentional they

25:33

want to confuse you

25:34

so that they can earn as much money as

25:36

they can

25:38

what else service fees personal accounts

25:41

in the united states and europe our

25:43

spread

25:44

is typically and then that's for bitcoin

25:47

and that's for ethereum

25:49

and then they also show other spreads

25:51

for other cryptocurrencies

25:53

but they also claim or you can trade for

25:56

precious metals fiat currencies u.s

25:58

equities general notes they claim it's

26:00

not a free platform we charge a spread

26:03

every time you trade

26:09

the price you see before you trade is

26:10

the price you pay when you trade

26:15

we charge zero deposit fees zero

26:17

withdrawal fees zero trading commissions

26:19

but we do charge a spread however i've

26:22

never seen a spread charge when i trade

26:25

from my united states dollar card on

26:28

uphold

26:29

to

26:31

one of the cryptocurrencies never

26:35

never

26:37

what else

26:39

fund your account

26:41

convert now this is where they start

26:43

charging fees we charge an exchange fee

26:45

when a customer buys converts between

26:48

different currencies and i stipulated

26:50

that earlier in this video

26:53

and they also charge you to look at this

26:55

withdraw funds from uphold to move funds

26:58

off platform via crypto which it would

27:01

be if i let's see

27:05

i don't know if it includes the us

27:06

dollar card i think it may

27:09

if i were to try to transfer that money

27:12

to withdraw it they charge you 2.99 to

27:15

move funds off platform via crypto the

27:18

fee is 299 to move funds off platform oh

27:21

via bank okay so if you want to withdraw

27:25

to a different platform

27:29

that is 299 per

27:31

withdrawal if you want to move your

27:34

funds from uphold to your bank account

27:36

that is 3.99 per transaction

27:41

third-party costs may apply such as bank

27:44

wire costs

27:46

currencies all right so the point of me

27:49

extending this video that is already way

27:51

too [ __ ] long

27:54

is when it comes to trading

27:56

cryptocurrency i'd learn read the fine

27:58

print

28:00

study

28:01

find out before you click that

28:04

pre

28:04

the trade button

28:06

or i guess you could learn by example

28:08

and you could [ __ ] up and you know

28:10

they'll charge you 100 where yes so

28:12

that's my i guess that's my main point

28:15

in this video is if you want to

28:18

learn how to trade

28:19

and withdraw and deposit on the on at

28:22

least on a lot of these

28:24

cryptocurrency platforms

28:27

read their

28:29

paid read their service fees

28:32

find out if they charge any fees at all

28:35

find out what the fees are first

28:37

then start trading or start withdrawing

28:41

or start converting

28:44

because they will and they can bend you

28:46

over and sodomize you

28:48

you know i'm saying

28:49

that that's at least my experiences

28:52

so far i

28:53

haven't paid anything on uphold

28:56

because i've only traded from the us

28:59

dollar

29:00

to

29:01

you know to obtain the those six

29:04

cryptocurrencies

29:05

but if i start withdrawing to

29:08

an external

29:09

platform like coinbase or wherever

29:12

or using a external crypto wallet or if

29:16

i want to withdraw it oh 299 399. adios
