At this point it's either Flexepin vouchers which works out to 7.5% but with daily limits or the ATMs which I heard is 10%

Cost averaging into crypto seems way too difficult in this country

Any suggestions would be much appreciated

TIA
You can also just buy regular blockchain stocks or bitcoin etf's. They pair the price action of bitcoin exactly. GBTC is about $20 usd per share and is no different than owning bitcoin. You can buy as much as you want. It's quite liquid.

You get a bit of alpha risk when buying a blockchain stock but there are similar risks buying a variety of coins too. I don't know if going through the process of buying actual coins is worth anything compared to the simplicity of stock buying.
