Where can I buy Etherum?

Has anyone bought cryptocurrency?
I found a couple of websites selling it but, they either demand a big initial investment or an insane amount of documents(bank account IBAN, ID card personal number, certificate of residency).
I would like to buy ether of a maximal sum of $25 without additional personal identification but my debit card(which is also the way I want to make the transaction) and perhaps my phone number.
I'm not planning to buy anything online with them, but rather keep them as a deposit and withdraw them later after they gain more value.

And you can also gain a mild headache if you lose all of your invested money.

That's why I'm looking for a platform that allows me to invest the small amount I mentioned in the OP. It's a sum I'm willing to lose.

Three things

1: Any cryptocurrency <> USD/EUR transaction requires that process. Only do it if you trust them (read reviews), and even then on most websites there's a huge waiting list due to high demand

2: 25 bucks into ETH won't get you much. Even if it goes crazy and rises to bitcoin value, let's say 13k, whereas ETH is around 1k, your 25 bucks will be only be 325 bucks, and that's even in an extreme situation. You'll have to invest a lot more or choose some other much cheaper alternative and hope they go crazy instead.

3: It's much easier to exchange between cryptocurrencies. So once you have some, it's much easier to get the currency you want. Some places to offer direct USD<>BTC purchases, but they look, really, really, shady. But hey with 25 bucks, I guess it's perhaps worth the gamble in your case.

Thanks for your input Fleshy-Fish and Juicy-jelly

I thought of them, in the end too, but redditors seem to have very bad experiences with coinbase.

About that. You don't just "withdraw" them, you need to sell them for hard currency again, which also requires the aforementioned verificiation process.

I honestly got my bank card with less paperwork than this websites require.

I assume the because they need some way to verify it's you in the future, and as its fully automated they can't use things like photo ID / signatures etc

Re: Where can I buy Etherum?

Just wondering... Did you manage to buy some before the crash? (If you did that was pretty bad timing )

I wanted to buy some exactly in the crash period. However I expected it to fall even more, but it revived quicker than I imagined.
TL;DR; I still didn't bought any.

Coinbase also seems to don't work in my country.

Read up on the basic market patterns; this happens pretty much every year around the same time. It's still a good time to buy in (a small crash will probably happen before February if you want to wait), despite it not being the "perfect" time anymore.

Please, before you do anything related to crypto, read read read read read. It's a crazy world with lots of ignorant people who only want quick cash, don't be that person! Or do, because that would be better for me
