How to invest in Ethereum in Singapore?

 I have been researching. 

Every article points to Coinbase. 

So let's go to Coinbase.com

I'm doing this on my phone. 


Let's get started with my Gmail.

Entered my name and Gmail.

Verified the application via email.

Entered my phone number for the OTP.

Entered my country, address, and birthday.

Finally, my occupation and my ID images. 

I can't log in before my ID is verified. 

How long does it take to verify my ID?

6 minutes.

I'm in.


So there are 2 more steps.

Add a payment method and Buy Crypto.

I can earn free crypto too...

"Invite a friend to Coinbase and you’ll both receive SGD 13.39 in free Bitcoin when they buy or sell their first SGD 133.94 on Coinbase!"

Click this link to join Coinbase...

I have only one choice of payment method.

Debit or credit card.

There is a buying fee of 3.99% for Singapore. 

I entered my credit card details.

Oops!

"Your credit card provider has disabled cryptocurrency purchases. Please try again with a debit card or bank account."

I entered my debit card details.

The card is linked successfully. 

Next, buy crypto.



I am allowed to buy up to only SGD150.

That's 0.05338497 ETH.

Coinbase fee is SGD5.76. 

Buy!

Oops!


Payment is declined again?

What other payment methods are there?

Let's buy SGD50.
Coinbase fee is SGD1.99. 
That's 0.0178 ETH.

Declined again!

According to the coinbase help page...

"Payment methods for Singapore customers... You can buy cryptocurrency with a credit or debit card if your card supports "3D Secure." You can purchase cryptocurrency instantly without waiting for a bank transfer to complete."


3D Secure?

That's a credit debit card problem?

Let's forget Coinbase for investment. 

Just earn free coins here.

Explore Binance.

Macbook Air M1 Case

I bought a transparent case for my MacBook Air M1 . It came with a free screen protector, a keyboard cover, and some rubber plugs to cover the ports. Check it out! https://youtu.be/d-wALSd3nn8 I didn't expect the rubber plugs. It was a nice surprise. The case fits snuggly, with access to all the ports. The keyboard cover is almost invisible to the eye. I have no intention to use the screen protector. Why? I need to see the true color of the display for my YouTube videos. ~ Adrian Lee  @Adrian Video Image  The video was recorded on iPhone 12 Pro Max with Filmic Pro app in 4K 60fps and edited with Capcut.

Sony Vegas Pro 8 Tutorial - Multicamera Editing

Sony Vegas Pro 8 makes it easier to edit videos from different cameras right from the timeline. You can capture and edit video for a single scene from 2 or more cameras or for a single scene shot a few times with one camera. Here is a tutorial of a Multicamera Edit of a drama I shot. The drama was acted out four times to the public and being a non-profit organization, the client have budget only for one videographer. For each of the 4 acts, the camcorder (Sony HDR-FX7 High Definition Camcorder) was placed at 4 different positions and shot in various angles. Multicamera edit is accomplished in only 8 steps with the Sony Vegas Pro 8. Step #1: Capture Multicamera Video Clips Use the normal Sony Vegas Video Capture function to capture recordings from each camera. Give each capture filename a unique name. Enable scene detection before capturing so that each segment is captured as a separate clip. Step #2 : Layout Video Clips on Timeline Drag and drop video clips over each other on the...

FCPX - The storage device "Macintosh HD" is almost full

The message "The storage device Macintosh HD is almost full" appeared when I was editing a video with Final Cut Pro X on my new Apple Macbook Air M1.   Final Cut Pro Taking up Too Much Space  My Macbook Air M1 had only 256GB of storage onboard. My raw footage was only about 9GB. The biggest file was the FCPX project files itself at about 140GB! How did 9GB become 140GB? There is not enough disk space for my Final Cut Pro. Why Is Final Cut Pro Taking up So Much Storage Final Cut Pro renders files in high-quality media so that we can playback our edits smoothly direct from the timeline.  It creates multiple HUGE high-quality files of our footage in the background.   It is a good thing, so as to maintain high-quality final edited video, BUT not a good thing for a laptop with only 256GB. How to Clear Disk Space on Final Cut Pro The question is how to delete the rendered files in FCPX? 1. Select the library in FCPX...  2. Go to Files > Delete Generated L...
