Title: Best ways to trade BTC in Canada?
Post by: beeteecee on October 26, 2012, 05:01:01 AM
I'm already on localbitcoins.com for OTC trade but the demand in my city (Vancouver) is not that high now. I've made a couple of sales for almost nothing (2%), just to check that everything works fine. However, it's not worth my time, I want to sell for at least 5%.

I tried bitcoinary.com and sold BTC with PayPal. I wasn't that fortunate to last for several months, my account got frozen in a week. If PP didn't freeze accounts it would be such a nice business.

I hear Interac e-transfers can also be used by scammers because they are not irreversible.

So, I just wanted to hear from fellow Canadians. What are the best ways to trade BTC in Canada besides OTC?

Thanks!

Perhaps I am not fully understanding your question, but I use cavirtex.com.

Yes, I buy there as well.

I meant reselling bitcoins to people for some profit beyond Cavirtex.

I wish you luck with this venture. When I was living in Vancouver about ten years ago, it seemed like the types who hung out at Hastings and Main had no need for a service like the Silk Road anyway. ;D

I'm sure there are plenty of Vancouverites who'd love to invest in BTC at the current prices. They are computer savvy and many of them are seriously cashed up too. It's a beautiful city with all the wealth disparity you see in the US and then some, and yet despite that, there are few if any gated communities that I could see.

Thanks!

Yeah, East Hastings inhabitants don't really need the Silk Road. But I don't sell BTC just because it's popular on the Silk Road. I want it to go really mainstream.
