Hi everyone,
For a while now, I’ve been purchasing most of my Blurt tokens on Hive-Engine and while it’s been fast and quite easy, the sell order has quickly been depleted by me and some other hungry wolves. I sight you @maskuncoro, @blurtlove, @blurtlove, @leifasaur, @offgridlife and several others. Please keep up the good work.
I am quite aware that buying Blurt from Probit and Ionomy is what gives us the ranking we need on Coingecko, as well as helps our price on FTX, formerly Blockfolio and probably Coinmarketcap. Not sure of the last one.
So over the past weekend, I decided for a change to buy Blurt from Probit, transfer to my Blurt account and power it up. I had previously registered my Probit account, but I forgot the password, so I had to do a reset before I was able to get back in.
Here’s a link in the event you wish to signup on Probit - https://www.probit.com/r/26641458
Once I was done, I logged into the Probit app and played around it for a while in order to get used to the platform. As soon as I had gotten used to the platform, it was time to fund my wallet.
Quickly, I opened up my Binance app, bought USDT via P2P and swapped it for BTC. I quickly got my BTC wallet address on Probit and tried withdrawing from it. It was at that moment that I got the shocker of the day. To transfer $50 worth of BTC, I was expected to part with about $22 in fees.
I was perplexed, dumbfounded and stared at my screen in a stupefied and flabbergasted state. Yeah, I’m a writer😉🤭
I understand that there are a lot of rich people. Unfortunately, I am not one and won’t be able to part with $22 as fees. That amount could easily add up and get me more Blurt tokens.
I wasn’t going to deal, so I converted it to Hive and then went over to Hive-Engine and bought Blurt with it. Until recently.
Playing around the Probit app two days ago, I noticed that I could actually deposit USDT straight to Probit via the TRC network. Before now, I thought they only had the Ethereum network and Ethereum fees aren't friendly as well.
I quickly, bought some USDT and transferred it from Binance to Probit and in less than 2 minutes, I had the USDT in my wallet at no extra cost.
In a few minutes, I had converted to Blurt and I had 1,900 Blurt tokens sitting pretty in my Probit Blurt wallet.
Enough of the stories. From here on, I will give a step by step breakdown on how to purchase Blurt on Probit.
HOW TO PURCHASE BLURT TOKEN ON PROBIT
- Log in or signup on Probit. Here’s a link to use - https://www.probit.com/r/26641458
- Download the Probit app and log in. Quite easy to use and straightforward.
- Head over to Binance and purchase your USDT either via P2P or with your debit/credit card.
- Once you have USDT in your spot wallet, go over to Probit and click on your wallet icon
- Click on USDT and then on Deposit. Don’t copy Ethereum. Make sure you switch to TRC-10/TRC-20 before you click the copy button beside the address.
- Once copied, head over to your Binance app or wherever you’re sending the USDT from.
- On your Binance wallet, choose USDT and click on the withdrawal button. Input your Probit USDT wallet address and the network will automatically be matched. Input the amount you want to send. You’d be charged 1 USDT as fee.
- Click on Withdrawal, confirm it on the next page, complete your 2FA authentication and you’d get a successful “Request Submitted” page.
In less than 2 minutes, your USDT should appear in your Probit USDT wallet address.
SWAPPING USDT FOR BTC ON PROBIT
Blurt currently has only BTC as its trading pair on Probit so you’d need to first swap your USDT to BTC before you can buy Blurt token with it. The process is simple and quick, just like buying coins on Binance or other exchanges.
The first step is to:
- Head over to your Probit wallet and confirm that you USDT has indeed arrived.
- Once confirmed, click on the Exchange icon at the bottom of your screen. You’d see the BTC/USDT pair or you can search for it.
- Once seen, click on it and tap the Buy button under the chart.
- It will open the order book where you can exchange BTC for USDT. Choose the price at which you are comfortable to buy and click 100% if you’re buying with everything in your wallet. If not, input the amount you want to buy.
- Once you have chosen your buy amount on the BTC end, you should see your order in your BTC wallet pretty soon.
EXCHANGING BTC FOR BLURT
The next step is to exchange your BTC for Blurt. It's also simple and doesn't take much time.
- Look for the Blurt/BTC pair on the Exchange tab. Click on it and Click on the Buy icon below once it opens.
- Choose the last order amount in red and click on 100% if you want to buy with all the BTC in your wallet. If not, input the amount of BTC you wish to use.
- Once done, your order will be filled automatically. Check your wallet and you will see a new BLURT wallet with your purchased Blurt tokens in it.
HOW TO WITHDRAW TO YOUR BLURT WALLET
Making withdrawals to your Blurt wallet is pretty straightforward, easy and cheap. The network fee is as low as 0.1 Blurt, way cheaper than the 1% Hive-Engine charges.
- While in your new Blurt wallet on Probit, you'd see the Deposit and Withdrawal tabs below.
- Click on the Withdrawal which will take you to the next page where you will input the amount. Input the amount you want to send and click on Next. You can see the cheap 0.1 Blurt fee there.
- Input your withdrawal address which is your Blurt account name. It doesn't need a memo, so tick the no input box and click on Next.
- The next screen takes you to where you can review the details to ensure they are correct. Once you confirm that everything is in order, hit the Withdraw Blurt button.
- You will be taken to the next page where you'd complete the 2-factor authentication process. You'd get a successful screen next
- Once done, you should see the Blurt token in your Blurt.blog wallet in a few minutes.

Congratulations!! You have now successfully purchased Blurt token on Probit in a cheap, easy and secure way.
I agree that the fees on Ethereum and Bitcoin are insane. I once had to send just $100 worth of BTC and the transaction charge was almost $8.
I think you did really good converting your BTC into Hive and moving it to hive-engine. I have noticed that Trx has low fees and I use it sometimes.
TRX USDT has like $2 withdrawal fees and I often use that. We are not rich enough to pay hundreds of dollars in fees.
Haha now I am a hungry shark. Lol good.
Nice writeup thanks.
