GAS Precio

Finally moved some ETH to BTC - anyone else avoiding CEX for this?

<!-- SC_OFF --><div class="md"><p>Had about 0.5 ETH sitting in a wallet I wasn't really doing anything with. With the ETH/BTC ratio where it's been lately I decided to just move it to BTC and stop thinking about it.</p> <p>The annoying part was figuring out how. Tried initiating on Coinbase, got a re-verification prompt partway through which killed the momentum. Then looked at doing it on-chain -Uniswap is fine for ERC-20 stuff but for ETH to actual BTC you're bridging, and between gas and slippage I was looking at losing 2%+ before the swap even happened.</p> <p>Ended up going the crypto exchanger route. Did some research on operating history and reserve size, had a swap stall on a low-reserve service once before so that matters to me. Swap completed in about 20 minutes. Rate was within a reasonable range of spot, coins came back clean.</p> <p>Whole thing was less dramatic than I expected after all the research. What are you using for ETH/BTC swaps - CEX, DEX, or the exchanger route?</p> </div><!-- SC_ON -->   submitted by   <a href="https://www.reddit.com/user/SliceOfBread3"> /u/SliceOfBread3 </a> <br/> <span><a href="https://www.reddit.com/r/ethereum/comments/1s1ujpl/finally_moved_some_eth_to_btc_anyone_else/">[link]</a></span>   <span><a href="https://www.reddit.com/r/ethereum/comments/1s1ujpl/finally_moved_some_eth_to_btc_anyone_else/">[comments]</a></span>
