Title: Trading BTC with USD
Post by: Sorceb on September 05, 2017, 05:57:47 PM
I dont know why it is not possible to trade with USD on Bitfinex or Bittrex, but it is a Problem for me. I sometimes would like to sell my Coins for $ and then rebuy BTC when Price Drops. If i want to do so know, then i have to sell my BTC via Local Bitcoins or some other Websites, where I cant rebuy BTC immediately, because they offer only wire Transfers.
I hope somebody can help me :/

Did you thought of using other exchange that could provide the service your asking for?

You can actually trade your coins for USDT at Bittrex. It is a token supposed backed by 1 USD.

1 Tether (USDT) is worth 1 dollar, so you can for example, sell 1 BTC for 4350 USDT and rebuy when the price goes down without needing to transfer money between your bank account and the exchange.

But I would be careful, they seem to be shady at the moment. Check the links:

Yes, couldnt find any Exchange with many altcoins and usd. Or any way of immediate Transfer of USD to BTC and BTC to USD.
