Substratum Buy Instructions | Paypal, Credit Card & SEPA

You have probably heard of the Substratum cryptocurrency and now want to invest in the project. However, questions can arise. So that you don't make any mistakes in the purchasing process, we have summarized the following article for you. You will learn how to safely buy and then hold Subtstratum.

‍

Substratum foundations

If you believe in the future of Substratum then you probably want to own your own SUB-Coins as these are the fuel for the Substratum network. You can learn more about this in our comprehensive Substratum guide.

Substratum was first launched on the stock exchanges in September 2017 and traded for one cent per coin, rounded up. Since then, the cryptocurrency has been able to multiply its value many times over. In January 2018, Substratum reached its current all-time high of around € 3. Incomprehensible.

The vision of the Substratum project seems big, the company is often referred to as "the new Internet". As with almost all cryptocurrencies, however, we are still at the very beginning. We will find out in the next few months / years what ultimately results from which crypto currency.

Substratum is working on many projects such as CryptoPay, this product should become an online platform and enable users to easily send cryptocurrencies.

The special thing about it, CryptoPay is to introduce both the possibility of crypto currencies and Fiat (euros, dollars, etc.) for transactions. Substratum is to be used as an intermediate currency for the exchange.

Example: Person A pays person B an amount X € in Bitcoin. The amount X € is cached as a SUB. Depending on which type of payment person B accepts, person B can either have the cached SUB paid out in euros or in bitcoin. Person B receives amount X in € or BTC.

‍

What is the potential of Substratum?

Difficult question and the truth is that nobody really knows where a cryptocurrency will be in the future. The fact is, you have to reckon with everyone and that is why you should only invest as much money as you are willing to lose.

The market in which Substratum is located is estimated at several billion euros, so the potential for Substratum is definitely very high and should the project only have a 1% market share, the company will benefit greatly from the money in circulation.

For example, if Substratum takes up even a fraction of the online hosting market, then we expect a strong increase in value as well.

Substratum's CryptoPay product could have the potential to become a kind of PayPal for the crypto world. The value ultimately depends on the acceptance of the crowd.

The BC1 team must honestly say that anyone who claims they know how much a crypto currency will be worth in the future is not speaking the truth. As long as time travel is not possible, no one will be able to say with absolute certainty where a course will be. What we do know, however, is that if Substratum is successful with its mission, the SUB-Coins will be very valuable.

How to Buy Your Own SUB Coins

We are now going to show you two ways in which you can buy your first SUB-Coins and after reading the article you should know which option is right for you.

Option 1 shows you how to buy SUB-Coins with a fiat currency (EUR, USD, etc.) The first step for this is to create an account with Coinbase and a crypto exchange.

Our second option is for those who already own a cryptocurrency and want to exchange it for SUB-Coins. To do this, we'll show you the best place where it works.

‍

Buy Substratum with Fiat (Euro, Dollar, GBP)

This method is for those who want to take their first cryptocurrency position. In the first step we buy one of the five most famous cryptocurrencies. Since you can't buy many cryptocurrencies (such as Substratum) on Coinbase, we have to transfer one of the buyable cryptocurrencies to an exchange and buy Substratum there.

Why not buy directly on the stock exchange? Because you on Platforms cannot trade in euros, but only cryptocurrencies and we do not yet have any other cryptocurrency

This process will take some time, but once everything is done then future purchases will be much easier. It is also still one of the easiest and fastest ways to get to Substratum.

Do you already have cryptos?

Do you already have a Coinbase account or do you have cryptocurrencies on other platforms? Then just scroll past the Coinbase section.

Further steps                       

Now the first step is done and we are ready to buy our cryptocurrencies. If you've sniffed something on Coinbase, you may be wondering where can I find the SUB-Coins now? SUB itself is not available to buy directly from Coinbase. To get to SUB, we first need Bitcoin or Ethereum on Coinbase and then send these coins to an exchange to buy them with BTC or ETH SUB.

The fastest way to buy BTC or ETH on Coinbase

• Go to the Buy / Sell page on your account.

• Add a payment method to your Coinbase account.
  

• You can now choose between different payment methods. As a European, you can currently choose between two payment methods: credit card payments or bank transfer. One factor that can be decisive in making a decision is how badly you need your cryptocurrency. A bank transfer has lower deposit fees, but on average it takes between 2 and 5 days for your cryptocurrencies to be credited to your Coinbase account.
• Option 2: You can deposit money with a credit or debit card. You pay a fee of around 3% but receive your coins directly.

Both methods are easy to perform and ensure that your money lands safely in your Coinbase account. After the deposit you will receive an email informing you when your deposit was successful.

• As soon as you have received the confirmation email from Coinbase Inc. and your account has been topped up, you can choose from the listed cryptocurrencies in the "Buy / Sell" section the one that you want most.  

• Enter the amount for which you want to buy bitcoins, for example.
• Now select your euro wallet as the payment method, into which you have previously deposited money either by bank transfer or credit card.

• Complete your order by clicking "Buy".

Do you want to buy cryptocurrencies even cheaper on Coinbase?

Then check out ours Coinbase Guide at. Here we show you how you can send your funds to the subsidiary Coinbase Pro with a little more effort. On Coinbase Pro you can save fees on every single purchase, trade or sending of coins.

As soon as your selected cryptocurrency is in your Coinbase wallet, we can move on to the next step. Now we send the cryptocurrencies we just bought to another exchange and exchange them there for Substratum.

Setting up a Substratum Wallet

When it comes to crypto wallets, the choices seem endless. That is why it is all the more important to be careful when choosing the wallet in order to protect yourself from making a wrong decision. We know this can be confusing for beginners, but fear not, we'll show you our favorites in this article. Since Substratum is an ERC-20 token based on the Ethereum blockchain, we recommend using the most popular Ethereum wallet: MyEtherWallet. This wallet is used by ourselves and many other people, is completely free and gives you access to the "private keys".

Enclosed you will find the two reputable sources of information to create and set up your MyEtherWallet.

• The official MyEtherWallet page
• Our comprehensive guide to set up MyEtherWallet

As soon as your MyEtherWallet is ready to use, you should know that your cryptocurrencies can be viewed in the "Information" section. Simply click on "Show all cryptocurrencies" and you will see your SUB-Coins, among other things.

Just scroll down this list until you find SUB and then see your balance.

‍

Keep cryptocurrencies in a safe way

MyEtherWallet is a fantastic way to store your ERC-20 cryptocurrencies. For those looking for an even more secure way to store their funds, you can combine your MyEtherWallet with a hardware wallet.

Why is a hardware wallet so secure? Hardware wallets store your private keys on the device itself. This protects your private key from phishing attempts and keyloggers, as your private key is never exposed to the online world. Keep in mind that there are an increasing number of hackers trying to steal cryptocurrency, and this fact could become even worse as cryptocurrency prices rise. So investing in extra security isn't a bad idea.

Since SUB is an ERC-20 token, as I said, it is compatible with the two most popular hardware wallets on the market. The BC1 team itself uses both Trezor and Ledger and can therefore recommend both products to your readers.

Do you need help choosing the best hardware wallet for you? No problem, just take a look at our detailed comparison article Ledger vs Trezor

Send the substratum to the MyEtherWallet

We have our SUB-Coins on Binance and our MyEtherWallet is ready to be received. In general, we always recommend moving cryptocurrencies from the online exchange to a private wallet, especially for larger amounts or for longer holding. The reason for this is that exchanges are tempting targets for hackers and we want to avoid any risk.

Instructions

• Go to the Ethereum wallet and copy your public address.
• Sign in to Binance.
• Navigate to "Balances" and click the "Withdrawals" button.

• Select Substratum from the drop-down list, paste your Ethereum public wallet address here and enter the amount you want to withdraw.
