 If you're using Aqua from @JAN3 I would recommend not using the built in third party service to buy bitcoin. It's very expensive. Here's a comparison of buying $100 USD from Aqua version Strike.

 10%?! What the fuck? You'll get a better deal on robosats than that and have no-KYC sats.

 I had to double check an ETF wasn't approved or something after I saw that price 😂 Quite the spread indeed.

 Can’t argue with facts of transactions, regardless of how the transaction went.

 Holly Molly! With those fees you could probably buy KYC-free paying in Ruble 🫠

If I were to buy KYC I'd expect to pay a tenth of that at most

 WTf? @CashApp is lower but KYC, are they charging a premium for non-KYC?

 Phew! I pay 2.9% on Crypto.com and have immediate settlement, And can withdraw to cold storage immediately for .0006 btc. That is definitely Coinbase league fees.
