Choosing BTC means network errors are never a concern

BTC tends to swing a lot in value.

USDC and USDT hold a steady price.

I top it up, then spend it before it has a chance to do any damage

That was quick. I topped it up, then needed to top it up a second time just to cover 1 transaction — the rate moved that quickly.

Hey, occasionally it rises too

I haven't had that kind of luck!

I'm currently waiting 4 days for my bank to clear a Solana purchase on Coinbase. Could I have avoided that 4-day wait by using a debit card instead of linking an account?

I chose not to go down that path, and instead located a vendor who accepted Ali Pay. My knowledge of crypto wasn't sufficient to handle that setup lol

I may take that path, yet I'll keep using crypto too, so I can get as knowledgeable as oldrunnerdog lol....

Most likely. When you make a purchase on Coinbase with PayPal linked to your bank account, you won’t have to wait either.
