Thanks for the input. You're saying i can trade GRIN for BTC on Hotbit or Kucoin as an american?
Bittrex is a company i just requested a full account closure from due to them not actually supporting GRIN. The "International Bittrex" that was just shut down (last year) for Americans is where they traded GRIN. As far as i know there is no way to trade GRIN from the American Bittrex but please tell me if i'm wrong.
More or less i cant unless i cant to go through 6 fee gates just to get to fiat, likely crushing any profit i made anyways. Sick.
I don't belong to USA, but I don't think there is a hurdle for you to trade GRIN with BTC in Hotbit or Kucoin regardless of where you stay actually. I have a Hotbit account and I have never done a KYC before and withdrawed some decent amount of btc as well. Similarly why don't you just try buying btc from coinbase and trade them with GRIN in exchanges like Hotbit and Kucoin?
If you are facing difficulties in logging in through a American IP, try using TOR or VPN if that works for you. I don't get the point why do you need KYC initially to trade some btc in popular exchanges? I assume you have traded btc with fiat like USD in Coinbase before. If so, just transfer them to Hotbit or Kucoin account and buy GRIN.
