A few days ago I made a post about services that you can use for trading between coins without needing to trust exchanges with them or holding them there for too long. You can read about it here.
I was made aware of 2 other sites that I wanted to bring up in this post.
Changelly is another service that offers a lot of tokens to trade in between. It is also one of the few ones that accept credit cards and only take a low fee of 0.5% per trade!
I didn't have the best experience with it when it first was released but looking through reviews lately it seems they have they have improved a lot in the long run!
Here is a list of all the currencies they offer to trade with the prices as of writing this. To stay safe always try it out with a lower amount first if you are going to dive into bigger trades!
I hope to see more of these services popping up in the future to not have most users trust exchanges with their funds!
Living Room of Satoshi is another great service that has been up and reliable for some time.
This one is a bit different as it allows you to do other things such as pay Bills directly with crypto's through their site for Australian residents! It also accepts a fair amount of cryptocurrencies such as Steem!
While doing this you can also be rewarded a point for every $1 spent which you then can trade in for some presents on their site!
They also offer some cool stats showing what bills customers have used their crypto for on their page, check it out!
As always, test them out with a lower amount first before you do any bigger deals! Stay safe out there, Steemians!
That is pretty amazing I feel like they are going to come out with more and more new services as crypto expands

Just wait until a major ecommerce retailer starts accepting cryptos. If Amazon or eBay did this then you'd see an explosion of other retailers follow suit. They would probably have a conversion application to support payouts to vendors as well. Exciting times.

Bitcoin and Ethererum have been having problems dealing with the volume on their networks lately. These networks the exchanges have were designed to do like 40k transactions in a day and now all the sudden its at 200k+ so its taking longer as exchanges especially figure out how to process you. Coinbase is awful with this I had one transaction take 12 hours for bitcoin.

Coinbase charges like 4% when you use a credit card. @acidyo are you saying that Changelly only charges 0.5% to buy with credit or did I misunderstand that? Maybe you're saying 1) you can buy crypto with a CC and 2) when trading the fees are only 0.5%. 0.5% for buying with a CC seems to good to be true. If you can clarify that would be appreciated.

These are both pretty cool and nifty sites, man!

Also, I think that's kinda cool that you get rewarded with points for every dollar spent, looks like what gamestop does with purchases except the rewards are actually cool and useful items instead of junk, lol.

After using changelly for some transactions without a problem, I ran into one yesterday. I exchanged some Ether to Steem and everything was fine, but at the exchange step it froze and broke up with an error. I received no Steem and it´s now over 30 hours and I´m still waiting for the Ether refund. Mailed to support several times - still nothing. Not sure, if I will ever get my Ether back :(

Nice I didn't know them thanks. What you think about Waves DEX they implementing new technology, which will enable the network to process thousands of transactions per minute – making it the fastest decentralised Blockchain platform in the world according to them . This innovation will bring Blockchain technology to the next level of evolution, enabling it to compete with mainstream payment processors and to achieve mass-market adoption.“Waves-NG”, a next-generation technology designed to increase effective bandwidth and speed of block creation, is especially significant for businesses using Waves platform, since it allows conducting microtransactions without any delays which are typical for traditional Blockchain systems. It also allows the platform to withstand high loads, such as distribution of tokens following crowdsales and airdrops of bonus tokens. The speed of processing trading transactions on Waves decentralised exchange (DEX) is increased as well. There coin is doing well too at the moment 13 bucks.

The fact that no crypto exchanges or services are 100% safe has been making me kind of worried. Since transactions are final, there is always a chance you would be ripped off. The way exchanges have been deciding to keep people's money hostage just as they please is quite unhealthy. If this was considered a financial service, I'm pretty sure that would be a crime. It might still be something one could sue over in some jurisdictions.
