Title: Re: what is your routine to get the cheapest BTC Post by: Revalin on October 08, 2011, 10:54:41 PM I invest my BTC in USD. I'm getting 1500% ROR over the last few months!
It's my opinion that the BTCs fundamentals are still in the low-cents range, and even with rampant speculation to support the price it's still going under a buck. I'm a total bear. :) So, to answer your question: Unless you need to spend them now, the cheapest BTCs are the ones you buy in the future. Title: Re: what is your routine to get the cheapest BTC Post by: Mageant on October 09, 2011, 06:00:32 PM I use about the same routine. I set a bid a bit below the current level and just wait until it gets filled. Which can take a week or more. Once that gets filled then I make a new, lower bid. All the time I keep a part of my cash free for a steep drop in price.
Title: Re: what is your routine to get the cheapest BTC Post by: Als Pawnshop on October 10, 2011, 02:22:00 AM How about buy goods locally that are cheap and then sell them for bitcoin? You'll end up paying much much less than market price that way.

You'll end up paying much much less than market price that way. i sent a GPU that was broken back tot he provider it cost me 24€(was inside EU) said GPU cost me 112€, shipping tax cost me 20% of the item valuedo you really believe i can send good overseas at a competitive price and i have to tank the VAT, that will kill my margins how about ... next time you wont make a off topic reply ;D ;D ;D I don't think my reply was off-topic. Last time I bought BTC for cash was around $0.60. Since then all the BTC I've gotten is through commerce and I've accumulated 5 times what I had to start with selling some along the way. Obviously you can't choose goods that are already overpriced and overtaxed in your locality. You gotta be wise about it and I'm sure you could find something to buy cheap and sell high. It's an axiomatically derived theorem in economics that every place and every person has to have a relative advantage in producing SOME good. At the same time you'll be benefiting the bitcoin community by adding value to the "real" economy beyond simply currency exchange/speculation. PS: If you're looking to just exchange cash for bitcoins then you can buy them from me for a pretty nice discount, hint, hint.

My buy order which was quite low ($3.5) got filled. What happened? Title: Re: what is your routine to get the cheapest BTC Post by: Als Pawnshop on October 13, 2011, 03:58:06 PM do u know how VAT works ? every single service and product have a VAT so all stuff is overtaxed Not exactly. Here we have a sales tax but everyone evades it. Do you really pay VAT on everything? |
