Buying is trading dollars for crypto and saying that you hold doesn't say how you buy.

I buy a spread portfolio of mostly the top 30 crypto's. I try and get rid of my worthless U.S. Dollars and buy crypto's with it each month

Since you do a lot of buying then you must realise how important it is to buy in the most direct way from the miners that way you avoid excessive fees. I know a lot of people would buy directly from miners or mine themselves if they could. There must be a lot of miners that just sell to exchanges though. That's what boosts the price. I wonder if you just buy from an exchange?

I would love to buy from miners. I currently buy from exchanges. You are right it is better to mine or buy from miners directly
