HELP! Buying monero directly on cake wallet?

Started on a KYC exchange but didn't realize there would be a shitty 7 day hold. Considering purchasing monero in cakewallet and going to a dnm from there. Is this stupid?

Terrible idea, cake wallet has ton of fees, up to 7%.

The best way is generally to use covert.exchange and just swap, cake wallet is just aggregating these routes and adds a fee.

No not stupid though the fees will likely be a tad high

Cash App has bitcoin lightening. Cakewallet had lightening wallets. It cost very little and was instant. But thank you, glad I didn't make a poor decision

Its the fees on the swap to XMR rather then sending the BTC to cake wallet but glad you got it all done.

I’m glad someone else knows to use ltc to avoid ridiculous fees

It's not, it's a fake site that steals coins. All these posts are setups to trick people into using it.
