Topic: where to trade USD / BTC (Read 1780 times)

btc-e? Isnt' that the exchange that practically has the highest fees around for trading? And the withdraw fees were hefty last time i wondered if i should check them out.

i think that poloniex is a new good way to trade usd and btc with only .2% fee

i do not think this is possible....
but BTC-E is a good option!

Yes, cryptsy is not a good choice. It looks like they are going down. So many bugs and it looks like they only can code patchwork. I think they don't understand their own coded code.

You should check out chinese exchanges. btcchina.com and co. Especially when you want to trade, no fees are essential for profit.

Google for Bitcoin trading meetups. They are events held all over the world where you can buy and sell Bitcoins face to face with other traders. There is an old Coindesk story that explains about them, but they are still running. You might have to pay in cash and wait for enough confirmations before you hand it over but there are no fees.

SuperChange is great. https://btcbee.xyz/exchanger

LocalBitcoins.com

I can also recommend Kraken, never had a problem with them.

actually there is huobi.com allows users to trade without any fees but you have to trade in this curreny pair "cny-btc".

+1 for Kraken, safe and secure.  We know everyone who runs that site and they are dealing with the mtgox pay outs also.

There's no trading place without fee man, just what I know so far..

first lesson "fee's" is meaningless.

your best bet is to look at https://bitcoinaverage.com/markets#USD
you will notice a price majority difference between $315-$330 (yes there are some at 305-400)

so once you know the range.. you will then see that some merchants tell you its fee free.. but the sale price is higher. then those with fee's may be lower.
so best to get a calculator out and work out the total cost depending on that service, because fee free may not mean cheapest purchase

no fees? I doubt this is possible at any exchange or sole person.

Are you trolling or what? Cryptsy is falling apart. They are not honoring withdrawals and are under federal investigation. They may cease to exist any day now. Stay away from Cryptsy!

not really, you should be careful with RL trading, you see what happened to burtw, here, he got arrested because they lured him into a trap

personally i would trade only with a bot, in a good low fee exchange

If you want the most convenient is coinbase. And this is told even by the others in this thread. But the use of coinbase it is not active in every country. So if your country it is not in the list where coinbase offer this service you naturally cannot use it. Then I can tell you another one in which can have your bitcoin and make trading us dollar - bitcoin (even with profit if you could have chance and can wait). the site it is named virwox. In this exchange you can buy or sell bitcoins from credit card, Paypal etc but changing before your primary money with linden dollars (virtual money). So if you want bitcoin and have us dollar, make a deposit of us dollar, must buy linden dollars and after, with those linden dollars you can buy bitcoin. If you buy linden dollars and don't do the second step and wait, the change can become profitable if the price of bitcoin with us dollar go down. But must happen even the opposite and you can lose. You tell that you want to trade. So this kind of exchange could fit to you because of this kind of virtual money between the final change. Anyhow they have fees (have no idea how much are momentarily because I have time that don't use it). If you find interesting do a registration (it's free naturally) and study everything. If you like it or find interesting trading there, I 'm happy to have helped you.

I usually use cryptsy, but it's best to trade irl, as it's the safest.

here is a list of bitcoin exchanges:

but won't be for free because they have costs and pay attention to the warning in red

localbitcoins is less safe and often more expensive than an exchange.

exchanges only charge 0.2% fee or something.
