kraken is presuming, by the sentence you wrote to be the bitcoin exchange equivalent Title: Re: Kraken.com 'Forex meets Bitcoin exchange' Post by: mprep on November 30, 2014, 04:32:58 PM Probably that you can trade (for profit, rather than just to exchange to a different currency) various currencies including Bitcoin.

because, in bitcoin, you MUST PAY to play ... ;D digital money (bitcoin) is not virtual currency (QE) like in the FOREX. Title: Re: Kraken.com 'Forex meets Bitcoin exchange' Post by: caribbeanbitcoiner on November 30, 2014, 04:39:04 PM so if bitcoins are considered 'currency' by some would the term 'Bitcoin Forex' make sense?

Title: Re: Kraken.com 'Forex meets Bitcoin exchange' Post by: caribbeanbitcoiner on December 01, 2014, 06:17:40 AM so you guys are saying there will never be a true 'Bitcoin Forex'?
Title: Re: Kraken.com 'Forex meets Bitcoin exchange' Post by: albus on December 01, 2014, 06:29:54 AM so you guys are saying there will never be a true 'Bitcoin Forex'? No, I'm just saying that their tagline is just meant to get as many terms that are nice to search engines as possible. to get better search results. They could also use "FX meets foreign exchange in digital currencies and bitcoin" forex==currency exchange=FX bitcoin is already considered as forex by many financial sources.

Title: Re: Kraken.com 'Forex meets Bitcoin exchange' Post by: sniveling on December 02, 2014, 12:46:05 PM They have recently opened new markets, now you can trade bitcoin against USD, EURO, and GBP. If you live in europe you can withdraw EURO and GBP using SEPA. Most exchanges only let you trade against USD and if you withdraw to a country that uses something else besides USD you have to pay exchange rate fees to convert yo your local currency.

Title: Re: Kraken.com 'Forex meets Bitcoin exchange' Post by: Coiner.de on December 04, 2014, 04:13:51 PM As nobody mentioned it:
The answer is in the sentence that follows at kraken.com, "Now available on Bloomberg Terminal due to customer demand". https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bloomberg_Terminal That is, forex traders are able to trade Bitcoin like any other currency and with the tool they are used to. Title: Re: Kraken.com 'Forex meets Bitcoin exchange' Post by: albus on December 09, 2014, 09:21:49 AM Which term makes more sense Bitcoin Forex or Bitcoin Trading and why? as long as bitcoin is a currency, this is the same.
