Hello,
I'm wondering how can you trade with bit/altcoins when you're under 18 years old. I currently need to transfer some ethereum coins (earned by mining) to bitcoin and eventually to real cash. I know that you can use LocalBitcoins.com, however you can only trade bitcoin here. How about altcoins?

Thanks.

Most sites that accepts the minimum of 18 years as a pre-requisite to trade, does so in my opinion simply because of the fact that that is the age of being an adult in most countries and because they also want to protect themselves from offering services to minors. But in my own way, I believe the moment you can own up to actions then you are good to go and for someone who is able to be exposed and earn some bitcoins, to me irrespective of age, that is taking responsibility.
