Thanks for the post @cryptographic! Please let me know when you're going to complete this series of posts about buying crypto. I believe I could help to put all of these exchanges into a single grid in order people could have a chance to quickly compare exchanges by different criteria like: supported countries, BTC/USD exchange rate, ways of payment, Fees, complexity of registration, etc
Personally for me it was important to find the way to buy crypto that was working for my country and supported debit card. I used coinmama service (it's not an exchange, more like a broker). They have simple interface, support a lot of countries including my homeland. Bad thing is that after all fees and a bit high exchange rates I have to pay +12-14% to exchange rate on main BTC exchanges (using debit card).
