When it comes to buying Bitcoin, we have plenty of options.
But when we want to get a hold of other cryptocurrencies (altcoins) like XRP, Monero, ETH/ETC, LTC, or any other, we have limited options.
The altcoin market is booming, but due to a slow development process, we often face the challenge of buying those cryptocurrencies.
The best way to get ahold of most of the altcoins (Alternate cryptocurrencies) is by using a cryptocurrency exchange website.
Note: Since the cryptocurrency field is not so old and we have to be careful with using any such online website. I do the field testing and share about working sites. If we spot a scam site, we will let you know before you waste your money.
When it comes to exchanging cryptocurrencies, you might have heard of MyCoinChain in various forums. I have used Changelly in the past to exchange BTC into ETH and few other currencies, but a few days back I got to know about MyCoinChain.
The first few questions I had about MyCoinChain:
Is MyCoinChain legit or is it a scam?Can I trust MyCoinChain with my money?What happens if something goes wrong. Will I get support?
I started researching & got some rave reviews about MyCoinChain.
Some users even suggested that it’s a better alternative than Changelly.
After a few hours of research, I thought of giving MyCoinChain a shot.
This review of MyCoinChain is based on my personal experience & will give you all the important information you need before you start using MyCoinChain.
