Month ago before we can buy altcoins we should need to have bitcoin for ethereum and ethereum for other altcoins but a week ago coins.ph included ethereum wallet so it would be easier for us together with my fellow countrymen to biy ethereum using cash. Since i got my ethereum, all i need to do is to go to exchange sites like poloniex and bittrex to buy altcoins.
Actually it is a simple answer. There are many exchanges that exist today, whether it is based on national and some are internationally based. as you say there are some exchange that are indeed concentrating in their country of origin. The difference is the trust and security of the exchange, yes in this world security becomes important because a security will determine what happens to the funds we have. For the moment I really trust bittrex as a top choice, in addition to a user friendly look, bittrex also assures very secure security. Security is a must-have thing and I do not blame the fee on bittrex because I think security is a very important thing and can not be compared with a small amount of money.
