A whole new realm of fiat is now opened up to the magical world of Bitcoin and they'll be storming through the gates.
Title: Re: IGMarket provides trades for Bitcoin Post by: kiko on April 09, 2013, 01:09:00 PM Just digging into the numbers now.
Spread is clearly painful ~25-30% ignoring that for a second. A GBP 10 bet requires 570 deposit, overnight 10% move in bitcoin would have yielded 100 in profit, so I make that 2x leverage. This sounds about right for a market this volatile, most liquid markets on IG allow much more leverage than this. The important thing here is that it's capital gains tax free. I wish the periods were longer as rolling a position monthly is going to kill you here. These guys aren't stupid.

It's interesting because the step towards them offering it for sale as an investment is a bit smaller now, and IGMarkets is a huge platform for "everyday" investors which I've used for years, so there will, as a result, be a lot of demand from investors to place more opportunities on there.

This seems verry simple to do ?!? Yes, exciting times ahead. Think 'arms race'. Bitcoinica, back then, seemed to have quite some influence in the charts. This here, nowadays, will be, well, exciting! :-) Ente |
