Poloniex ...

[ranso73]

Hello,

Quick question, what is the minmum amount of USD that can be used to by BTC?

I'd like to trade the currencies off each other and want to start with BTC as my base currency (I could use USD, but want to use BTC).

But I keep getting 'Not enough USDT in your account'.

Thanks for any pointers.

USDT and USD is not the same thing. USDT is is cryptocurrency that's supposed to be based on the price of 1 USD.

Poloniex does not trade with fiat e.g. USD, EUR. If you want to trade at Poloniex you'll have to buy BTC or any other cryptocurrency (that's traded on Poloniex) from another exchange and then send to Poloniex.
