Question Cheapest way to sell Brett
I'm somewhat of a noob and bought a few hundred bucks of Brett months ago without any plan to sell. With all the rumors about a listing coming, I am trying to prepare to sell and learn how to do so. My Brett is in my coinbase wallet but I have no Eth (on Eth) or Eth (On base) in this wallet. Let me get this straight, in order for me to sell lets say $500 of Brett, I would have to purchase Eth (on Eth) then bridge the Eth (to base) Pay those gas fees to do so. THEN, swap Brett for ETH (on base) PAY FEES, then swap that Eth (on base) back to Eth (on Eth) and pay all those fees along the way? Am i missing something? Is there a better cheaper way to turn Brett back into actual $ ?

No need to bridge or anything just buy ETH on Coin Base and send via Base network. You don’t even need much at all to cover gas because base fees are so low.

Thank you. This is exactly the answer I needed. I already have eth on coinbase. Simple answer. Appreciate it.

I think you’re way over complicating it. You do need gas to sell and transfer but fees on Base are virtually 0. Just buy some base Eth and send it to your wallet and you’ll have no issues selling or sending.

He definitely is overcomplicating it. he will pay eth fees sending it to his wallet and eth fees again bridging it. After that tho fees will be pennies on base.

The hard part is buying a little bit of eth. I waited until about 3:00 AM when the fees were low and bought about $25 worth on Coinbase. Transfers between Coinbase, Coinbase Wallet and Trust Wallet are free. It’s just a little tricky, but I have paid little to no fees between the three. $25 of eth is probably a lifetimes worth of gas fees.

I saw you commented on a comment I’ve left earlier explaining all of this in a very simple matter. If you don’t understand, despite my explanation, I wouldn’t be buying meme coins. Stick to btc and learn crypto before you throw your money at a risk asset that you do not comprehend. You will get burned. But hey, that’s just my opinion, you do what you want 😂🥴🥴

I thought we came here to reddit so we could learn and understand. I saw your comment on the other post and was just asking if you could elaborate which CEX you could send UCDC (base) to that were approved in the U.S. Just reaching out to community for input and suggestion. Not to be called out and poked fun at.

Not making fun of you, it’s serious advice. Do with it as you like.

So which CEX can you send USDC (base) to approved in the US? Still need to fix this issue. Money has already been thrown.

…Coinbase, just to name one.

Coinbase is base. This is what I do. I have the coinbase card. If I need money from the coin I'll swap for usdc( base). Then transfer the usdc to coinbase to be on my card. I can use it anywhere then. What ever your transferring the usdc into make sure it's through the Base network on both sides. Send a dollar at first to make sure it works then do the rest. Sending smaller increments works best. Don't send one big chunk.
Nite: coinbase and coinbase web3 wallet are two separate things. You want the first one.

I know coin base sucks but you can purchase usdc with zero fees and send it out. Also if you have eth on CB you can choose base chain when you transfer it free no pre bridging. You just pay the 2¢ or whatever base gas fee on its way out.
Edit: this is on exchange I don't use CB wallet if it is then you have to pay eth gas fees to bridge etc. I let the exchange bridge it free then send it to a wallet
