Title: Currrent Cheapest Way To Convert $500 From Bank Account To Bitcoins? Post by: Sage on September 14, 2012, 05:24:49 PM I just signed up for an account at Mt.Gox.
Turns out the only way to fund it (unless a bunch of hoops are jumped through), is bank wire. That's going to cost $25 each time. Not a reasonable option as I plan to do purchases 1-2x per month. There must be a cheaper way? Any advise from veterans here? Thanks Title: Re: Currrent Cheapest Way To Convert $500 From Bank Account To Bitcoins?

It would be cheaper to pay the bankwire fees. Title: Re: Currrent Cheapest Way To Convert $500 From Bank Account To Bitcoins?

No he's not buying at all his sell rate is pretty much the same as the Gox buy rate it's pretty good value Title: Re: Currrent Cheapest Way To Convert $500 From Bank Account To Bitcoins?

Currently in Thailand (nowhere near Bangkok, already looked at that option). There are individual sellers in a few areas of Thailand: - https://localbitcoins.com/country/TH There might be another combination that works. BTC-e takes Webmoney Z. Entelnova sells Webmoney Z by accepting Thai bank transfer or cash deposit at a bank in Thailand. - http://entelnova.com/indexwmz.htm There might be other approaches that work. The operator of Bahtcoin might know sellers in the country, for instance. Title: Re: Currrent Cheapest Way To Convert $500 From Bank Account To Bitcoins?
