Title: Which are the cheapest BTC exchanges? Post by: bitcoinrocks on June 29, 2013, 09:05:31 AM Are there exchanges which have a consistently low price on BTC? bitstamp.com has the lowest I've seen with $90.26 at the moment.

Title: Re: Which are the cheapest BTC exchanges? Post by: bitcoinrocks on June 29, 2013, 09:54:11 AM Real nice, thank you. Are those considered to be the big 4 exchanges? mtgox, bitstamp, btce, campbx?
Title: Re: Which are the cheapest BTC exchanges? Post by: arbitrage001 on June 29, 2013, 12:55:17 PM The price is low for a reason.
Either there is no sufficient depth/order book, or it costs too much to move money in/out. Title: Re: Which are the cheapest BTC exchanges?

Followed by Bitstamp that has roughly 1/4 of the volume.Btce is not bad for trading but is a bitch when it comes to deposits and withdrawals. And CapBX, well not really anything to tell about them. ;) Title: Re: Which are the cheapest BTC exchanges? Post by: naphto on June 29, 2013, 09:59:15 PM https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?board=53.0
Title: Re: Which are the cheapest BTC exchanges? Post by: bitcoinrocks on July 01, 2013, 10:37:50 AM Quote Gox is by far the biggest. Followed by Bitstamp that has roughly 1/4 of the volume. How is it making deposits and withdrawals to/from Bitstamp from a US account?Quote Btce is not bad for trading but is a bitch when it comes to deposits and withdrawals. That only applies to fiat, correct?Quote And CapBX, well not really anything to tell about them. Deposits and withdrawals to/from a US account look really easy there. They do a low volume? Does that mean slow buy/sell transactions?Title: Re: Which are the cheapest BTC exchanges?

Correct, BTC flow is as fast as on any other exchange.Deposits and withdrawals to/from a US account look really easy there. They do a low volume? Does that mean slow buy/sell transactions? They have an extremely low volume, which obviously makes manipulations easier.Title: Re: Which are the cheapest BTC exchanges?

Are all Bitstamp deposits/withdrawals made via wire transfer?Quote They have an extremely low volume, which obviously makes manipulations easier. Can you tell me a little more about this? Are you saying if I want to buy BTC on campbx, there may be a long delay?Title: Re: Which are the cheapest BTC exchanges?

Are you saying if I want to buy BTC on campbx, there may be a long delay?If you are in Europe, Bitstamp (with SEPA) is probably your best option. If you have a US bank account though, and especially if you have a Dwolla account, then CampBX is probably better. As for buying on CampBX and low volume, this is really only going to be a problem if you want to buy or sell lots of Bitcoin. If you are looking to buy/sell less than 100 BTC or so, you should be perfectly fine. Title: Re: Which are the cheapest BTC exchanges?

Moving fiat both into and out of Bitstamp is very cheap, quick and simple for most Europeans. What's hard is moving fiat out of MtGox, and this is why their price is so much higher than the other exchanges. Title: Re: Which are the cheapest BTC exchanges?

They have an extremely low volume, which obviously makes manipulations easier.The low volume means the spread is larger, and it can take longer to fill orders if you don't want to cross the spread. While getting money to and from US accounts is nice and easy using Dwolla, the website itself is rather tediously slow, takes several seconds for any page load, and I don't like the layout, it seems like every piece of information is tucked away behind a different page load making the whole experience extremely time consuming to just put in a couple simple orders. |
