What is Safemoon (Safemoon)?

Safemoon crypto was a newly created Cryptocurrency in 2021 that sits on the Binance smart chain blockchain. Its name is derived from the slang for “to the moon” which implies almost vertical price increases.  It charges a 10% fee on transactions with 5% being distributed to token holders and the other 5% paid out in BNB across the Binance smart chain to the crypto wallet of the creators of Safemoon.

It gained a significant amount of hype in 2021 and was among many meme cryptocurrency coins to have significant growth However, most meme coins are questioned for having zero real world value and in this case there was concern of a pump and dump from media celebrities.

FAQ’s

Hopefully you have found this guide helpful so far, and now understand how to buy Safemoon in Australia. I have collated some common questions regarding Safemoon and this process below.

Risks of Buying Safemoon

One of the biggest risks involved trying to buy Safemoon is that it is extremely volatile. This volatility is very common in meme crypto coins. Some people consider Safemoon as a pump and dump scheme, while others believe in the vision.

Nothing in this post is financial advice and it is entirely your decision if you want to buy or not. However, consider that the risk of being rug pulled, or the high fees involved for buying Safemoon may be an issue. Another thing to consider is that Safemoon isn’t listed on a big exchange and often this is because these Safemoon tokens haven’t passed their due diligence checks.

Is Safemoon the Best Crypto to Buy in 2022?

Safemoon, Shiba Inu and Dogecoin all had stratospheric gains in 2021, however that means nothing for 2022. There is no such thing as the Best crypto to buy, as nobody knows what this is or will be.

Safemoon is a meme coin, with an insanely high risk reward ratio. Therefore, Safemoon is highly speculative and not for the faint hearted. Never listen to anyone giving their price predictions of assets. If they really knew they wouldn’t be sharing with you, they would be making a killing with leverage or options trades!

Is Safemoon a good investment?

A good investment will depend on what you want out of it. If you want exposure to an asset with disproportionate upside potential, then it may provide that. However, if you want a secure, stable asset with long term growth potential then this definitely isn’t it. 

Always do your own research, never invest with money you can’t afford to lose and make sure you aren’t trying to get rich quick. Or listening to randoms on the internet with their price predictions! 

Can you buy SafeMoon on Coinbase?

No, you are not able to buy it on Coinbase. However, you can use Coinbase to buy USDT and then transfer to Gate.io in order to buy Safemoon. Coinbase tends not to accept mem coins on their platform. 

Is SafeMoon on Swyftx?

SafeMoon is a decentralised token, therefore as Swyftx doesn’t provide this functionality it’s not possible to buy it using Swyftx. However, as this guide shows, Swyftx is our platform of choice for buying USDT which we can then exchange to buy Safemoon on Gate.io.

Selling Safemoon

If you want to sell your Safemoon coins, you can use Gate.io and sell them for USDT. From there if you want to cash out your USDT you would transfer back to Swyftx and withdraw to your fiat bank account.
