I so much prefer using a BTC ATM over online purchase. I know it's a little more but it's soooo much easier for the smaller amounts of crypto I buy at a time.
Anyone else?

Never tried it. i was hesitant to provide everything but a semen sample to get verified by Cash App, but now that's it's done i can order from any source while sitting on the toilet.
Lol, Coinbase, cash app...they both actually asked me for a stool sample and a mouth swab from my dead great-grandfather. Talk about jumping through hoops!

I have in the past. A crypto ATM is the most secure and anonymous way to purchase common crypto, BTC, ETH, etc. Most crypto ATM's have a camera though. One could wear a mask, pay with cash, have a paper wallet printed. It's the only way to purchase 100% anonymous, secure, and untraceable to you. It could be traced back to that ATM and to a masked face.
Paper wallets may be the way to go as apps can track you.
Kinda my thoughts.

I should also add... if the atm asks you for any personal information, find a different atm. usually there is a cap of about 2000 before the atm requires personal information. There is some atm's that require personal ID for any transactions. if this is the case find a different atm
people screw up paper wallets all the time, especially after sending money from it (hint, the remaining coins don't stay, and countless people have messed that up)
also software out there generates fake wallets whose public and private key may not match up sometimes

Coinbase is the cheapest I’ve found. ATMs are not cheap. The trick to lower your transaction fee on Coinbase is to first add money to your USD wallet then buy the coin with that wallet. Don’t buy straight from your card.

Coinbase pro is the cheapest have found. Charting sucks on all coinbase platforms. Coinbase pro has limit orders.

Today, I wasn't able to purchase BTC on Coinbase. They sent me an email that they cancelled my transaction.
I opened up CashApp which has always been bad for me. But I did notice they now have a BTC wallet imbedded in the App. I was able to purchase $20 of BTC and send to my Coinbase as a test run. Then I tried to buy more BTC. "You are unable to purchase at the time".
Am I on Santa's naughty list? Anyone else have these issues?

A little strange, but the Coinbase issue was fixed. I had to download the wallet app and connect it to Coinbase. Odd because I never had to before.
I think a big part of this is that my bank is getting acquired by another bank causing some confusion.
I use ShakePay in Canada. They claim 0 fees and I haven't been charged any buying or sending. Easy to verify and fund via e-transfer which is completed almost immediately.
I figured they might just include the fees in the BTC price, but their BTC prices are lower VS CoinSquare and Binance at the time of this post.

Coinbase limits used to drive me nuts. Would take so long to buy enough BC I would forget what I was gona buy. Cash app fast simple and buy as much as you want in one go.

I was permanently banned from Coinbase but I actually like Cashapp better. It’s easier and it notifies me when cryptos are one sale.

How does one achieve this permanent ban award?
What kind of scammy ass shit you doin on there?
Most likely sent coin directly to a flagged address, and they don't give any warning when they ban you. Read Coinbase's TOS. CashApp does the same now, so just don't use CashApp or Coinbase wallet to pay sources directly, but send to your external wallet (blockchain.com for example) first then pay your favorite source.

Ah. That makes sense. Never heard of that. I only skimmed the TOS.

I live 20 feet away from a rocket coin ATM. Fees kinda suck but it's hella easy to use. I have a banking account with chime and they no longer allow the purchase of any crypto currency. So what I've done is created a Venmo account and get their debit card. I'll transfer funds to my Venmo account and use their debit card to purchase the crypto. Wish me luck.
But ya, the ATM is hella convenient. There's a big dip rn and I think I'm gonna get in on it. Don't got much at all, but we'll see
