Title: Cheapest way to buy Bitcoins with GBP in UK Bank Account.
Post by: nibor on August 10, 2011, 12:03:19 PM
I only want to buy a few 10's so market liquidity is not that important.

Has anyone done the analysis?

Options I seem to have are:

1) Transfer to MtGox in GBP. They convert into USD and then buy their.
2) Use Britcoin. Here I think I will incur lower fees, but not such a tight spread?

Any other options that are more efficient?


Thanks

Britcoin all the way.

I use mtgox UK account and they place dollars in my mtgox account within a couple of days. Buy the bitcoins, sell them for profit on britcoin and withdraw direct to my UK bank account.
The circle is quite tedious.

Personally I'd use britcoin as you'll get no fees so not have to account for them if you're speculating.

Just a friendly warning, if you do that enough times with enough money, your bank & the inland revenue are going to start asking some questions about what it is that you're doing...
