way to tell them how to buy bch?
usually when people ask this, I explain "well you can get some either by mining, earning or swapping your existing currency. Mining is out unless you've got $100 mil to run a mining farm, sorry you're a bit late to the game there. The best way is to earn/trade for it, so any further deals we do you can ask to get paid in BCH and we can do it that way or also with any of your other friends that are into crypto. And finally buy it with some fiat or crypto. If you want to do this, I'd recommend Kraken for fiat or Sideshift .ai for crypto. But remember to withdraw, not your keys not your coins!"
Does anyone ever purchase a bunch of bch themselves, and then offer it to friends or customers in exchange for cash just as a way to smooth out the onboarding process? That seems like it would be the easiest way. People are lazy and don't generally want to put much effort into something new
I do small p2p deals or trade with people I know, yes, and I suggest others in the BCH community do likewise
> unless you've got $100 mil to run a mining farm, sorry you're a bit late to the game there This isn't true. ASIC mining is ripe for small scale disruption. Anyone can just go out and buy the cheapest power on the planet and use it almost wherever they want. People mining with used under-volted equipment off intermittent DC power would absolutely be mining competitively.
ok well I'll keep that in mind, but the reason I say it isn't to be strictly accurate. We're talking about situations where someone brand new to crypto is asking "How can I get some Bitcoin? Can I mine some?" and my answer is intended to give them the impression of "For the $5 of crypto you want to try it out, mining isn't the answer."
