Shakepay vs NDAX?

Shakepay vs NDAX
Compare: Shakepay vs NDAX

Debating between Shakepay vs NDAX? I’ve been using both these exchanges for over two years at the time of writing this post update.

If you are buying crypto for the first time and wondering if Shakepay or NDAX are safe and legit exchanges — the answer is yes. I would recommend both exchanges to friends.

If you are a beginner and super confused by crypto and looking for the easiest way to buy Bitcoin or Ethereum — Sign up to Shakepay.

Want to trade Bitcoin or buy and sell thousands of dollars of crypto at the time, get the lowest spread fees — Sign up for NDAX.

It would depend on what coins you are wanting to buy, how much you are wanting to invest, and how what type of trader or investor you are to determine what exchange in best to use.

Here are some of the pros and cons of each exchange to compare from my experience.

The main issue that most crypto users have is securing their wallet ‘seed phrase’ or ‘backup keywords’.

These are simply 12 or 24 words that need to be saved in the real world with no connection to the internet.

These words need to be protected against hackers, theft, flood, fire or other natural elements for potentially decades into the future.

Cryptocurrency enthusiasts like trying to experiment with different ways to best back up their digital assets.

Spending more money does not equal more security. All these products basically do the same thing with slightly different features and use cases.

Shakepay Review

Shakepay Review
Shakepay Review

Shakepay is one of my favorite crypto exchanges in Canada because it simplifies buying and selling Bitcoin or Ethereum. Instantly fund or withdraw fiat ($CAD) using Interac e-Transfer. Signing up and verifying an account was fast and automated.

Use a referral link to activate the secret ‘ShakingSats’ rewards easter egg to earn free Bitcoin daily and get a $20 sign-up bonus.

I have been using Shakepay for over three years at the time of post update. I have read the good and bad reviews on Reddit/social media — this has been my experience buying and selling crypto on Shakepay. This Shakepay review will break down everything you should know before signing up to Shakepay.

My conclusion: I recommend Shakepay to friends who are just starting out in crypto and simply want to buy a small amount of Bitcoin or Ethereum. No fee crypto withdrawals and the ShakingSats rewards program make it a really great experience.

Shakepay handles peak times very well. It has worked consistently through the market ups and downs in the last bull market. Not all exchanges have handled it as well as Shakepay.
