I was away from crypto for years and now I'm trying to get back into the game. I was really STUNNED that there is no exchange, even after many years since bitcoin started, that we can just deposit USD and start exchanging altcoins. I hope I'm wrong because this would be the single biggest hurdle for altcoins to be widely adopted by general public. There are just too many hurdles to jump over just to START trading.
I have successfully transfered my USD to BTC on Coinbase, then put the BTC in my Electrum Wallet and transfered that to Cryptopia. (Its one of the ony places to trade XMG)
Took a week to get to Coinbase. The rest was accomplished in an hour.
