Title: Who sells bit cents on Mt Gox? (And why?) Post by: Minor on January 05, 2012, 07:48:12 AM Spend a few minutes watching MtGox Live and you'll see several transactions of a few bit cents each. ???
I don't get it, why would anyone bother selling 0.01 BTC? Even at today's price that's about $0.06 USD, what's the point? Title: Re: Who sells bit cents on Mt Gox? (And why?)

Trading 1,000 BTC is better. Trading 100 BTC is better yet. ..etc If you have a bot, there is no reason to do large trades when you can do many smaller trades (all thing being equal). I make small trades because I'm still not confident I'm any good yet, not that small though. This is another reason. You can put $1 in and pretend it is 100% of the money you have.
