Hey, this is funny.

They have '$3,221,852.36' in assets, almost half ($1,452,078.08), is still in bitcoin.
So, by their own words, they have half of their assets in something that's going to 'go away'.
I have used bitcoin as a backup—you can buy it via Serve transfer and then somebody will hand you cash for your bitcoins in any major city in the world. You can also purchase via Circle or Uphold with a card, no bank account is necessary.
Europe also has a ton of bitcoin ATMs so you wouldn't even need to meet up with somebody to get euros, just find a machine nearby.
This is great! I'm curious how you're finding these? Or how you are judging them? I started to get curious when I saw Uphold which is a weird one for me. The description is on your site is:
"Your opportunity to help combat climate change by investing in carbon credit tokens that support certified projects in the world’s rainforests"
which shows up on their environmental page. That's the description for the tokens they offer in their marketplace: carbon credit token - UPCO2 and Bitcoin Zero, and NOT Uphold itself. It'd be like if a Walmart (Uphold) sold a sustainable soap (the tokens), and you have a job posting for Walmart and not the sustainable soap company. I'm not saying Walmart can't also be altruistic but the description you've got is that of the sustainable soap company, not Walmart.
I think that's about it. Pretty accurate too.
OK...I was wrong. You don't have to give them your first born kid.

This means BAT/USD and other fiat pairs are now available.
>Uphold members can hold, send, receive, and convert BAT into many fiat and crypto-currencies that Uphold supports. BAT is supported in Uphold’s Tier 3 reserve.
Uphold supports tons of fiat currencies, like USD, AUD, CAD, YEN and more: https://uphold.com/en/transparency
Tier 3: BTC, ETH, LTC and now BAT.
Also see the blog post over at https://basicattentiontoken.org/bat-now-supported-on-the-uphold-platform/
I purchased some recently in the Uphold app. (Website here: https://uphold.com/en-us) I've been using uphold to store BAT that I earn using the Brave browser. I noticed recently that you can also buy various coins and tokens. XRP is the first token I've purchased.

There's a huge potential upside and also downside. If losing $10 000 CAD won't damage your financial security too significantly, then the possible upside is worth the risk.
https://uphold.com/ would probably be the easiest place for you to buy Dash, but I doubt it's the lowest commission.

You guys want to see a bitcoin app that is zero hype and all substance, check out airtm.io. Started by two Mexican kids who interned at Uphold, built and launched in 6 months, boot-strapped with very little capital (I, stupidly, passed on their Friends & Family round), and currently operating and killing it in Venezuela, Argentina, Panama, Colombia, China, the US, and Mexico. Read more about them here.
I'm a bitcoin holder and an Uphold investor (Series B via their crowd-funding) and have been very impressed by all the apps being built on their API. Haven't seen anything like it from any other company in the fintech space. Uphold has over 150 apps being built on top of them with new ones launching every day.
Abra seems like a classic VC circle jerk-- all hype, no results, big valuation.
It comes from the bid-ask spread. I agree, I don't care for the large spreads. Yours looks around 1.8%.
As liquidity goes down, spreads become larger.
You could verify your Reddit account with Brave Creators and then tip the BAT there. You would then link your Uphold.com account to Brave Creators, and your BAT would be deposited automatically into your linked Uphold account on the 8th of the month (the payout date for Creators).
Doing this would also set you up to receive tips from other Brave users to your Reddit account going forward. :)
Came here to ask the same thing. I didn't get mine.
My account was also hacked and someone charged $255 to a Bit Coin debit card company over seas. I got a letter yesterday saying they were sending me a new card because some of the accounts had been compromised. I got the text that my weekly deposit was made and my account total was way less than I expected. I checked the site and 10 separate charges and international transaction fees for Uphold.com were made. I called B of A and they shut off my card and today I filed a fraud claim. I should get the money back in my account in 10 days or so but it could also take up to 90. I also asked about the extra $600 and BofA didn't have any answers. SMFH.
You will be able to. In essence, you will be able to link your Uphold.com account (other options in the future) to your in-browser Brave Rewards wallet once withdrawal functionality is released. It's the next major upgrade to Brave Rewards, and the team is working hard to ship this feature for users.
This actually helps. Okex and Huobi are apparently prerequisites and leveraged for liquidity for Uphold, which would be bigly helpful for devs and is also what Brave team uses.
From Mr Hibs: ".... While not a custody solution, per se, I think the following company could also add value to both our small and large developers and i'd be curious to get your thoughts: Uphold - Very secure wallet solution that is geared towards business's/developers. They can provide you a secure and easy to use hub for you to store both your Kin and that of your users (which is what they did with Brave). Great team, great customer service. They also provide a FIAT-onramp directly within their platform allowing you to operate your business more easily. Check them out and let me know your thoughts. They require us to be listed on either OKEx or Huobi for liquidity purposes, which is something we're working on."
Great timing. This is something we have been actively exploring over the past few months. We are going to be going live with one of the top custodial service in the very near future, but it is a little more geared towards institutional investors. We are also actively engaged with another custody solution that caters towards developers needs and would likely be a good fit for situation you outlined above. I'll ping you directly regarding the other custody options, as i'd like to get your input on whether it might fit your needs.

Minimum is 5 BAT per channel, so you're easily above that.
Maybe your Creator Account somehow got disconnected from your Uphold account.
You could try this: In your creator account, disconnect from Uphold. In Uphold, find the setting for Authorised Applications and remove the authorisation for 'Brave Rewards'. This is most easily done in Uphold's 'classic view' on this page: https://uphold.com/dashboard/profile/applications/authorized
Now go back to your Creator account and reconnect Uphold. This will re-establish the link and you should get your payment next month.
The second step (removal of the authorisation) shouldn't be necessary but if things somehow got out of sync it is just to ensure you start again from scratch.
Good luck.
Price is dropping because people can't buy but people are panic selling. Coinbase and Binance had an outage. RH is a bitch. I bought another 30k on Bittrex. Get on UpHold if you need to buy coins. LET'S GO PEOPLE! This rocket ain't gonna land itself!

First you will need to sign up with Uphold, and then link your Brave wallet to your Uphold account (available on desktop Brave or Brave for Android only so far - if you are on iOS this isn't possible yet).
Then it depends on where you live. If you are in any of the regions Uphold supports for direct withdrawal, you are in luck, and can send your funds directly to your bank account.
If you aren't in one of those regions there will be more work involved - you would have to find a cryptocurrency exchange that does support where you live, sign up with them, send your BAT from Uphold to that exchange, then withdraw from that exchange to your account.
Uphold also offers a debit card if you are in the US. It is not yet available to the rest of the world though.
Why do you think several exchanges are cutting off users from the US? Because they're getting called out on their lack of compliance.
Uphold on the other hand...
https://uphold.com/en/compliance
Regulatory compliance can be a very powerful factor and ones that normies are perfectly fine with.
Might want to edit sooner rather than later to accurately reflect the fee structure. No fees from a linked bank account to a fiat wallet card. 1.4% conversion fee from fiat to XRP whether you go from an Uphold fiat wallet or directly from your linked bank account.
He is just flogging his own company, Uphold.
If you scroll down to the bottom of this page: https://uphold.com/en/how-it-works/membership
Then you will see that this people have trademarked this term!!: "Welcome to Uphold. The Internet of Money™. "
To me it just looks like another Circle.
As far as I'm concerned, Mr Watson can go fuck himself together with all the banksters he claims to be different from.
You can't send Doge off Uphold as it is Tier 4.
https://uphold.com/transparency
They told last month it would be going to Tier 3 this month, and just recently said it is delayed.
So far I like uphold,
Hi, I'd like to invite you to use Uphold. Create your account and try out one of the easiest and most cost-effective trading experiences. https://uphold.com/signup?referral=70f0d5d9b2
In case you don’t like it I heard kraken is good too
Same here. I ended up using Coinbase but already had an account so it was no big deal. Uphold is supposed to have a really quick verification process, maybe give that a try.

I discovered this morning that I don't think you can.
Uphold classifies Dogecoin as a tier 4 currency. According to their transparency page, tier 4 "Cryptocurrencies and Utility Tokens available to Buy, Hold and Sell" whereas tier 3 can also be withdrawn and deposited.
I read on the Transparency page on the Uphold website that they keep as "ASSETS IN OUR RESERVE" OMG 180,932,225. What is this fake ... or?
https://uphold.com/en/transparency (choose OmiseGO from the drop-down menu and scroll little down)
Edit: I think I started to warm. It's an equivalent value calculated in OMG.
A mi me pagan en Bitcoins!
Trabajo como freelance con una empresa de UK y en principio me pagaban con transferencia bancaria y para evitar las comisiones nos pasamos a Paypal, pero entre Paypal y Multicaja también me quitaba mucha plata. Luego mi jefe me recomendó Bitwage y luego de ver algunos documentales de Bitcoin y algunas conversaciones con amigos que tenían Bitcoins decidí distribuir mi pago 50% en Bitcoin y 50% en dólares que se quedan en una cuenta de Uphold...no he comprado nada aun con mi bitcoins, estoy HODLeando con la fe puesta en que seguirá subiendo.
745 USD/BTC seems a little expensive to me. eBay has also had issues with the sale of bitcoin, and these have been varied from non-delivery to more complicated and malicious scams.
Buy bitcoin for less on LocalBitcoins (instant), Uphold (a couple days), or, if it's available in your country, Coinbase (four business days).
That's what's dodgy about Uphold. How are they supposed to make money? No fees, no spread, everything is free, no investing their holdings to make a profit. All they do is hodl so they are sitting on the risk for their assets. It's not very diverse either because it's all currency, some bitcoin, gold, silver, palladium and platinum.
https://uphold.com/en/transparency
AS you can see, most of their assets are in USD or Bit-coin.
Hey! BAT is a Tier 3 token, meaning you can buy, sell, trade, deposit, and withdraw this currency using our platform. However, both DOT and ADA are Tier 4 currencies, meaning you can buy, sell, and trade these assets - however, withdrawals and deposits are not yet supported. Take a look at our transparency page for more information 👉 https://uphold.com/en/transparency
I managed to connect uphold before getting the 25 brave verification requirement to the brave desktop browser just by googling it: https://uphold.com/en/get-started/brave
Didn't work for the Android app version though, which is a shame because it's where I'm earning the most BAT but still a long way from 25
Hi there! Uphold is not a free platform. We are typically cheaper than our direct competitors - Coinbase Retail, Gemini, Revolut and Robinhood - for major cryptos. Our fee schedule is laid out here: https://uphold.com/en/get-started/service-fees. During times of acute market stress, spreads widen at our underlying suppliers and we pass these on to you*.* We also show a warning when spreads are wider than 4 per cent on an individual transaction.
Think you're thinking of Bitcoin Zero. Not exactly what you describe, but is supposed to balance out the carbon footprint of the mining. https://uphold.com/en/assets/environmental/buy-bitcoin-zero
Among other reasons why Uphold is shit, they have arbitrary tiers for which crypto can be withdrawn:
https://uphold.com/en/transparency
Should be able to withdraw LINK, but /u/throwawaychuck100's workaround is probably best
I found links in your comment that were not hyperlinked:

Nano is in Uphold's Tier 4, which do not have deposits or withdrawals unlike coins they fully support aka Tier 3
https://uphold.com/en-us/ I was in their beta testing for debit card and it was totally free. Currently their debit card shows coming soon and it works as well as regular debit card. I like the flexibility of paying with pretty much any assets you have in your uphold account and you can switch to a different asset quickly in the app.
Phase 1: Collect underpants
Phase 2: ???
Phase 3: Profit
Edit: real answer is to enable Brave Rewards in your browser. Set ads to maximum allowed per hour (5 per hour is max for US). Every month receive payout. Take BAT and either HODL (hold them) or trade them in at an exchange for other crypto, like BTC, LTC, or ETH. You can do this through Uphold.com (where all Brave verified wallets are held anyway).
I'm sorry you're experiencing this. If you can, try disabling Brave Shields on Uphold.com, and also check for any other extensions (e.g., disable uBO, PrivacyBadger, Ghostery, etc. if you have it).
You can also try going through the process with Chrome to see if it's a browser issue, or if it's some other kind of issue.

If you hold 10k LBA you earn 10%. So loan them 10k worth of USD and it should be quarterly payments of 250 USD.

I’m thinking about it but I’m struggling with tying up my XRP..
Like /u/SOC4ABEND mentioned, tokens are never actually "stored inside" wallets or browsers. Tokens are stored on the blockchain, and "wallets" are not actually storage devices. Rather, they're more like keys or chequebooks and pens that let you sign and authorize transactions on the blockchain.
In the case of Brave, the tokens are actually held by an exchange on your behalf. This exchange is Uphold.com. Right now, you can move the tokens around in specified ways (such as use them to tip, but not withdraw to an arbitrary address). You will be able to withdraw them once 2-way functionality is released, whereby you'll be able to link an Uphold.com account to your browser. After completing an ID verification step, you will be able to send the tokens to any external Ethereum address, just like you would when withdrawing your funds from, say, Coinbase.
>EDIT: I even logged onto uphold to check out my wallet, and there is no transaction history whatsoever.
Just so we're on the same page, your uphold.com account has zero relationship to the wallet inside your Brave browser!
Can you try restarting the browser? It could just be that it's having a hard time querying your balance from Uphold.
If this problem persists, you can PM me your Wallet Payment ID
, which you can find in brave://rewards-internals
? We can take a look on the backend. Thanks!
looks like they are only custodial.

To Anywhere
Anyone, with a connected device, anywhere in the world can receive money instantly, and hold it in the currency of their choice, via their Uphold account. If they’re not yet an Uphold member, they will receive an email notification with invitation to join.
Why are they doing this shit?
I've been using uphold.com. I've purchased XRP about three times through them thus far and it was relatively painless.
I created my account, got verified within an hour or so, and was able to buy XRP within a very short time (few hours at most?). Recently, however, I've been looking at delays of about a day. I think it took right about 24 hours for my last deposit to the USD card (via debit), but that's still significantly faster than what you're talking about with GDAX.
I do move my XRP immediately off the exchange once purchased, however, since I don't trust any of them.
Haha! I literally just emailed them yesterday about this.

Hi,
I have an Coinbase account.
I recently came across Uphold because I was interested in buying BAT.
I don't trust the exchanges, but there are not many viable options for purchasing altcoins directly with USD.
What are the chances you will be adding DASH?
Thanks, Michael
You can buy with fiat money using Uphold: https://uphold.com/en/blog/posts/uphold/bitcoin-cash-live-on-uphold Also, often people change other crypto to BCH using shapeshift or other popular exchanges.
Uphold, a little high on withdrawal fees but no biggie with your holding to the moon.

Unfortunately, Uphold will only let you sell your SGB tokens, send them to someone who has an uphold account, of send to your bank account. Cardano use to be this way on Uphold.
I believe SGB falls under tier 4 wallets described on Uphold website. Notice Tier 4 wallets can’t withdraw to other wallets.

Hmmmm -- cursory search found this, not sure why they singled out Texas here but maybe there's something up:
"For Texas Residents: If you have a complaint, first contact the consumer assistance division of Uphold at . If you still have an unresolved complaint regarding the company’s money transmission or currency exchange activity, please direct your complaint to: Texas Department of Banking, 2601 North Lamar Boulevard, Austin, Texas 78705, 1-877-276-5554 (toll free), www.dob.texas.gov."
Good luck! I'm in NY so can't get any of my in-game crypto out ... someday! :)
So true! I struggle just to put fund from BAT to f.ex Bitcoin on the uphold.com site, Press the BAT card..choose send to Crypto..choose Bitcoin and then comes to a page where i have to type in cryptocurrency an address or utility token.. like wth? I choose BTC on prev page!.
But on wallet.uphold.com there is an easy way on the right side of the page. Also i miss a "Dark mode" ;)
Go to uphold.com > click the three dots that says "more". > click "switch to classic view". you'll see a bunch of cards. The tip I sent you will be in your Reddit card. Transfer that to your Brave browser card.
Hi there, currently every coin in the Tier 3 section of our transparency page has its own wallet 👉 https://uphold.com/en/transparency This means both external deposits and withdrawals of the assets are supported 👍
We also plan to move some more assets from Tier 4 to Tier 3 this coming October. We appreciate your patience in the meantime 🙏
We are a fully regulated financial company and take security very seriously 👉https://uphold.com/en/get-started/security
We're sorry to hear that the response provided hasn't been satisfactory, but unfortunately we're limited to what we can do via social media and recommend speaking to the team if you're unsatisfied. Thank you for bearing with us and we apologise for the problems that have been caused 🙏
Yup! Log into your Uphold.com account, and then send BAT from there like any other exchange. Uphold's UI is a little different from other exchanges, but you can select "send to Basic Attention Token", which will then let you enter in a BAT/Ethereum address.
This writeup just needs a section:
​
How can I earn crypto:
Reddit Moon Tokens which can be exchanged for XLM
Airdrops
Doing development in exchange for crypto like on https://gitcoin.co
yes. scroll down a bit and you can see Litecoin there. Uphold has gotten many complaints, though, so I would look elsewhere as far as as joining a crypto exchange.
Allright so i give you an example how to get them out and then tell you which of your coins should work.
You know how on the right side you got this sent from/to thing ?
ETH is a good example.
In FROM you choose ETH ACCOUNT ( maybe there is a 1 or 2 behind it )
In the center you enter your amount you want
in TO you choose CRYPTO NETWORKS and then Ether/Ethereum network
Then you hit next. Now it askss for your wallet adress... enter your wallet adress and hit sent.
https://uphold.com/en/transparency Check here which coin is what tier of yours and what you can do with it. Tier 3 for example only lets you sent them to your wallet. Tier 2 you can swap on their exchange to other coins and i guess feeless.
Tier 4 means its stuck there like ADA and Doge for example.
So for your other coins it seems like ZRX for exampe is tier 3 so you can send it out.
XLM is tier 4 and you cant but it looks like one of those that could be becoming tier 3 next month.
Basicly check all you coins and then sent them out with that method.
But check the fees/gas cost aswell or you might burn it all to nothing before it hits you wallet.
Hope that helps .D
I've emailed customer service about getting VTHO for holding VET, but this is what I got from them about that:
"...We don't have any official word about this yet. Please check our blog at https://uphold.com/en/blog to keep up with the latest details..."
Use uphold.com or any of the phone apps really. get verified. Buy your currency. LTC is the easiest for me... Then send to the adress givien on your purchase receipt. The program works amazingly and it never stays down long when Ofans changes something. Highly recommend.
Have you tried services like MoonPay or Uphold? I recently came across this video which explains a little about purchasing BitCoin which might work in your scenario. Once you get BitCoin you can use that to buy Doge from any exchange.
The only other way I can think of is to get a family or friend to buy it for you.
Hi there! We're sorry to have given you cause for concern. Uphold is not a free platform. We are typically cheaper than our direct competitors - Coinbase Retail, Gemini, Revolut and Robinhood - for major cryptos.

Hi there! Tier 3 currencies can be withdrawn but Tier 4s unfortunately cannot, which you can learn more about here 👉https://uphold.com/en/transparency
We're not holding any funds hostage on our platform. The 65-day hold applies due to fraud risks inherent on the ACH Network, but funds can be withdrawn after 4 business days. Tier 4 currencies can be converted into another currency for withdrawal. We hope this helps! 😊
Uphold.com, based in the UK, it is quicker to register for than binance, but allows for buying and selling cryptocurrency and allows withdrawing cryptocurrency directly to your personal wallet. They need a photo ID and you have to have a camera on the device you initially register with. Verification is quick. However, VERY IMPT they have a 60 day settlement period from date of sale (happens instantly) to the day you can withdraw the money.
Be careful with uphold. I do not think you can withdraw ATOM from uphold. You’d be able to exchange it, but after that I’m pretty sure it would be stuck on uphold since it’s listed as a tier 4 currency not a tier 3.
Hi 👋
Doge is a Tier 4 cryptocurrency, meaning you can buy, hold, and sell it within the Uphold platform, but deposits and withdrawals of this asset are not yet supported. Learn more about tiers here: https://uphold.com/en/transparency
Hi u/JumpOutGuy - DOGE is a Tier 4 currency, so it's only available to trade at the moment. You can read more about Uphold's tiers here: https://uphold.com/en/transparency. Please let us know if you have further questions.
Do you guys think Uphold is a good choice for buying the DOGE? I used it from this guide, and I'm not sure if it was a good choice. Of course, I'm holding it as long as needed!

Uphold.com is the ONLY thing that worked for me in the states. Been trying for 24 hours, every app either is "down", has a waiting list, or a long verification process.
Uphold will let you do instant buys with a credit/debit card. Took me about 10 minutes to get it setup. Hope this helps!
Uphold does only support a subset of coins for direct deposit/withdrawal.
NANO is not one of them.
The full list is available here: https://uphold.com/en/transparency
Only coins/currencies in Tier 1, 2 & 3 are available for direct deposit/withdrawal. (Scroll down a bit for the tiers.)
If you had an Uphold account attached to your Brave browser, your BAT balance should be linked with your Uphold account. So, if you go to Uphold.com and log in, you should see the BAT tokens in your Uphold account!
Let us know if you find them there.
yeah all i had to do was add the contract address for upusd to metamask and then send it back to my uphold.com wallet and then exchange it on there for ethereum.. i've been investing in the hex coin. investing practically everything i have. cashed out my credit card reward points of over $3500 plus the $1200 stimulus payment.
A debit card tied to your Uphold account which allows you to spend your crypto in the real world just like any other debit card. Also, 1% cash back and 2% crypto back.

One of the best features IMO is the ability to receive BAT in exchange for non obtrusive, non targeted ads. I would definitely turn the Brave Rewards feature on.
You can use that BAT to hold, exchange for other crypto or fiat, or [most importantly] use it to tip Brave Creators that you enjoy.
A Brave Creator is anyone who is signed up through the Brave Creator site and has a verified status. These creators can range from a single person (like me), to large organizations like Wikipedia, and everything in between.
Tipping is an important part of the Brave browser and BAT network. It lets the content creator know that you enjoyed the content they provide. It could say a lot more than that, but Tipping is one of the things that keeps brave browser and BAT going.
The other option is to exchange for crypto or cash via Uphold.com.
And third, you are free to hold onto these BAT and do whatever you want with them as they become yours.
NOTE: occasionally, you will earn BATs in the form of grants. These grants are specifically given for you to tip others. Please do not tip yourself these grants, as they may cause your account to be flagged.
Hi Siddu, you can just use Brave without signing up for any accounts. However, if you use the Brave Ads system (which pays you for ads you see) and also want to withdraw your earnings, you have to "Verify" your wallet. Verifying your wallet means registering for an account with Uphold.com, which is an online exchange. You then attach your Uphold.com account to your Brave browser. (Other options coming in the future.)
However, verification is not necessary to use the platform and earn. You can always tip your favorite websites/YouTube channels with your BAT (by clicking on the triangle icon in the URL bar) without having to verify.
No, it’s okay, it gets harder to dig through all the news as more sources have a relationship there. The one I was trying to find was a UPT AMA on Reddit but this is close enough
Yes, right now you can actually just withdraw the BAT you earn from viewing ads into cash by attaching an exchange account (Uphold.com) to your Brave Rewards wallet in the Brave browser. However, we will also be releasing a "Brave Store", where you can redeem specific gift cards, discounts, content, etc., which you can see previewed here: https://www.reddit.com/r/BATProject/comments/e270eq/preview_brave_browser_storefront_with_offers_from/
Here is Uphold's fee page so you can check my answers:
Here is Uphold's table:
Fees:
* No fees for storage.
* For BAT only: no fees to move BAT out of an Uphold wallet into another wallet. Look for "waive" in the table.
* A percentage-based fee for exchanging one currency for another.
* A flat $3.99 fee for withdrawals of US$ using the ACH network. See table.
Thoughts: Uphold has to make money somehow. It looks like their business model is to charge nothing for keeping your account on their servers, and to charge something when you move money out. So far as I can tell, they are law-abiding and trying to make this stuff work.
Hello,
As of the moment, you cannot withdraw the BAT from your Brave Browser. The team is currently working to implement this feature (called "2-way functionality" or "withdrawal functionality"). In short, you will be able to connect an Uphold.com account (in the future, more exchange accounts, or just your Ethereum address), and then you'll be able to send the BAT anywhere you like.
You can simply keep your BAT held in there for now (back up your wallet!) until 2-way is released. It won't go anywhere. In the meantime, you can use it to tip your favorite sites.
Correct. As an end-user you cannot yet connect your Uphold.com wallet. However, creators (creators.brave.com) can already connect their Uphold.com accounts. Being able to connect your Uphold wallet to your in-browser Brave Rewards wallet is our next major feature, which is actively under development. Will see it soon!
Yep :) I know you asked this awhile ago but wanted to share this:
https://uphold.com/en/transparency
They are crystal-clear and transparent about their obligations, reserves and the contents of those reserves. They are currently @101.7% reserve status (10:14am PST), indicating that they are at minimum, dollar-for-dollar able to meet the obligations of the asset holders with accounts. I really like uphold so far.
I don't know if Revolut has anything similar. My dog is wiping butt on my carpet so I gotta go.
You ought to be good with Kraken unless currency/withdrawal fees are involved in which case the 0.15% fees go up quite steeply. It it's under £5,000 or so that you're looking to sell then Coinbase or Uphold could fit the bill, since as I recall neither has a fee for bank transfer, although each has a sell fee around 1%.
If you want to save money on making SEPA transfers setup an account with Fidor Bank, they charge only £2.49 for the transfer. Alternatively if you want to avoid making SEPA or international transfers there are sites which sell bitcoins in the UK at competitive prices using UK Bank Transfer. Uphold are very good, you can see how competitive their prices are on BittyBot, it will also show you which other sites accept UK bank transfer.
The best way to actually multiply BTC is regular old trading, especially if you have Coinbase in your country. Uphold kind of sucks by comparison but it'll work in a pinch.
According to their site, their main currency held is "voxels," which seems to be some premined currency that isn't traded on a market (not 100% sure about this, but it's not on http://coinmarketcap.com/) but somehow has an exchange ratet.
Its off topic, but once you have your Alts to BTC, I have found the best way to get back to fiat is via Uphold. They have many different fiat currencies, and if you link a bank account you can get in and out from BTC for zero fees and a conversion rate that is spot on. Its not for traders, but for average Joes wanting to get in and out easily, its a very nice system.
You can get a 5 USD sign up bonus from my refer link: https://uphold.com/signup?utm_campaign=refprog&utm_medium=Scalextrix
EDIT: Im not schilling, I really like it.
Yes, as far as I know you're right about Coinbase, you can't buy without having that bank info. However, at least two services, Circle and Uphold will let you buy with a debit card only, and I think they're a bit better than Coinbase anyway because your bitcoins would arrive instantly and then you can get cash for them in Kathmandu if you want, through LocalBitcoins.
Have you seen the Transparency Page???. Uphold tries to do very good things. Save people money. Be transparent. They are not like banks. Saying they may steal money is like me saying you might rob a bank. But I would not because nothing here to show me that you would. So why say bad things about Uphold? Uphold and AirTM are helping people in a a real way that is important and fair and good. Why so much hate?
Can you send me your brave://rewards-internals (general info) via PM? I can check on the transfer statuses. It should actually show up pretty quickly, so it's probably some other situation.
I also recommend updating your Brave Browser to the latest version (brave://help), and also logging into your Uphold.com account and checking if you need to complete a "We need to know you better" survey, as that will cause a block on your account.
You need the Uphold wallet. The good news is that if you use this link you will get $20 once you’ve earned $250. All you have to do is keep playing the game & once you’ve got $250 in Uphold, just pull it into your bank & then put it back onto Uphold ($250 has to come off a card to trigger the referral). You get another $20 when/if you get the Uphold card. With both of those bonuses if you use my link & contact me I’ll split the part it gives me + pay the fees out of my half of it. Anyway, once you’ve got Uphold linked the game will automatically send the money every Tuesday if you’ve made $10 worth of each currency. It is super easy. Doesn’t require any extra work.
Thanks! We're working actively with the Gemini team to restore access as soon as possible. Right now, it looks like it'll be back up and running by next week, but we're seeing if we can things up and running even sooner than that.
bitFlyer is only available for Japan users, so if you're not in the Japan region and/or not a Japanese resident, it won't really be an option for you.
Uphold has reduced the minimum to 2 BAT, which you should see reflected in a week from now when v1.35 of the browser comes out. But in the meantime, you can actually sign up with Uphold.com independently and press "log in" instead.
Yeah according to their small print “Note: this cryptocurrency is not available for withdrawal to external crypto wallets. It can be bought, held, and sold on Uphold.”
Team is still actively working on it and hoping to get it resolved in the next 24h or less. In the meantime, do log into your Uphold.com account if you're with Uphold, please check this:
Note for everyone on Uphold: log into your Uphold.com account, and make sure you fill out the We need to know you better survey. If this applies to you, you should see it in the top left corner of the new Uphold interface. If this survey is not complete, your Uphold account won't be able to receive our deposits. Thanks.

Thanks.
I just wanted to add an update. Uphold just added an option to "Buy" Arweave on their site. However, you cannot withdraw the Arweave from uphold, only hold or sell it. So you cannot use the AR purchased on Uphold.[[https://uphold.com/en/assets/crypto/buy-arweave]]
Use uphold, they are legit and are so far not blacklisted by Moroccan banks (so you can use your card directly without 3rd party). And then you can just transfer to your favourite platform (Binance or etc) using the magic of cryptocurrency, or you could just hold your currency there like I do. Although I don't think they do NFTs but it's easy to do that yourself once you have cryptocurrency instead of fiat.
I've been using them for around 4 years now ever since they partnered with the Brave browser and have never had any problems.
