I’ve made exactly 1 crypto payment so far: MoonPay via my Exodus wallet, buying BTC. Easy process, but the fees hit hard, and because BTC swings so much I wound up paying my reseller $0.06 USD short (thankfully they didn’t mind.) After learning about stable coins, I’m trying to go that route, but I’m completely stuck. I’m in NY now and have a NY ID, and this state’s crypto regulations are a pain. My trading options are extremely restricted (Robinhood and Exodus won’t let me trade). Coinbase is basically the only place I can use, and I can’t work out how to switch a coin’s network. Forgive any nonsense I say—I’m sure I’ll get tons of terms wrong!
A vendor I found accepts PYUSD(Sol) and BTC (which I’m avoiding, especially since it’s dropping quickly right now). On Coinbase, the only way I saw to get PYUSD was on the Ethereum network. I bought that there, then moved it to my Coinbase wallet—no problem. I also picked up a bit of ETH and SOL for “gas,” around $2-5 worth, just in case. But before I can send it to my Exodus wallet, it needs to be in the correct form (so to speak,) because the vendor asked for PYUSD(Sol), and NY’s ridiculous rules mean I can’t do any trades in Exodus.
From a great explanation I read here, I gather networks work like pneumatic tubes you use to send coins, and you pay a small “gas money” fee for each tube—but after hours of trying to sort this out, I’m lost.
Whenever I look it up, all I find are guides for PYUSD(Eth)>SOL. Can anyone help me figure this out or recommend a good tutorial?
