It's good to have an easy channel for folks to get Stratis, but keep in mind that Changelly's fees are pretty high compared to a normal exchange. If you guys are dropping a large amount of money into STRAT, hop onto a larger exchange. However, if you don't want the IRS catching wind of your transactions, Changelly's fees suddenly don't seem so expensive. (Do pay your taxes though, it would be a shame to be rich yet unable to spend your money on anything for fear of being prosecuted for tax fraud.)
Yep, I prefer exchanges than Changelly, or shapeshift things, the lower btc I cost, I am happier.
