RE: 'Battle-tested' Steem Blockchain set to kick ass in 2018
Start with an account on coinbase so you can buy from your own bank. Relatively easy.
Then get a jaxx wallet. Comes in ios android, mac, windows, linux, and chrome browser extension. That's why I chose this one.
Then move your bitcoin off the coinbase exchange into your own wallet.
Start small so in case you make a mistake it won't be too costly.
All the best,
Joe

Hey Joe
Is this Wallet likely to give you this Bitcoin gold for holding Bitcoin?
i assume Coinbase won't be paying out!
Cheers!
I'm not sure what Bitcoin gold is.
Jaxx is a multi-currency wallet. It can hold about 10 - 15 of the popular coins including Etherium, Litecoin, Dash.
(Another reason why I picked this wallet.)
It costs you nothing to download and try. See if your favorite crypto is one they support.
Bitcoin is forking again, it could be another Bitcoin cash moment - free crypto. Coinbase BTC holders saw none of it though, of you are holding BTC I would try to find out if your wallet will honour BC Gold.

Thank you, I get it now. I've momentarily let myself get behind.
No problem. So i was considering getting the Jaxx wallet today and sticking a little BTC in, and the bugger jumped 10%! :D
Do you think I can do this with a Thai savings bank? Or how can I get an international account from here? I can't figure out banking, much less walleting.
And - my son is in California trying to transfer from coinbase to his paypal and can't do it. He gets rejected and they won't answer him for why. The money is in btc, so I'm kind of glad it got stuck now. Hopefully one day he can get it out. He has no us bank either because he blew his up with service charges. We're a financial mess!
It's probably easier if you are outside of the USA to go through the bank/crypto membrane.
In the US, you really need to identify yourself to the exchange (like coinbase) for them to accept your bank traansfer.
I don't know if coinbase does business in Thailand. If not then there are probably other exchanges that do. I'm sorry, I'm not familiar with that part of the crypto-world.
As for transferring cryptocurrency to PayPal. He won't be able to do it. PayPal sees all types of cryptocurrency as a direct threat to their existence . They would do anything to they can to stifle its use.
Sorry I couldn't be more helpful. In many ways I am just learning myself.
